British Women
OF Present Day
OF Bigger Size

London, Aug. 21-(AP)-OwinS 10
the more strenuous life they are
leading and consequent greater mus
cular development. British women
today are taking bigger sizes in
gloves and shoes. Careful observers
assert that the hands and feet of
women are larger than they were hve
years ago. This assertion has been
confirmed by the buyers for Dig
stores. They say that girls are de-
manding gloves at least two sizes
larger and that there now is little
demand for the small tight shoe, ex-
cept by persons of slight build.
Scientists also accept the view OF
a larger development of the hands,
feet and physique of women. Sir
Arthur Keith. Hunterian professor
at the Royal College of Surgeons, is
in agreement with them. but liz
points out that in order to ascertain
the degree of development 1t would
be necessary to have the mea sure
ments of one hundred women af ten
years ago and their measurement OF
today.
with all this increase in exercise
said Sir Arthur" and the greater
amount of walking done by wcmen,
it is obvious that the size of the
hands and feet will be developed.
But, after all, good big shapely hands
and feet are better than little hands
and feet"
