THE LADIES’ WORLD

HIGH HEELS

Women are more often too short’than , too tall, and consequently try to gain height by putting on high heeled shoes, ■and these do, undoubtedly, give dignity so long as the wearer stands still, but in motion they are graceless, even in a room, and deform the feet. Thus wo- \ »men. are made to minister to a very ' short-lived fancy, and, from a physio- \ logical standpoint, cannot recommend them. There are many women whose feet are too small, and this does not add to their Ireauty. The better shape a foot is the smaller it will look, hut in the disproportionally small foot there is always involved an awkward gait. ’ The "foot of a large woman should be larger than the foot of a small woman or a slenderly built woman, and usually—to her unnecessary sorrow —slie lias a largo one . The foot in length should be the length of the ulna, a bone in the forearm, which extends from a. lump on the outer portion of the wrist to the elbow. Of course, the ulna is longer in tall people and to be graceful the foot should be also. Most people would be surprised that the foot should be as long as the forearm, and would be inclined to dispute the fact unless proven by experience. Large women pinch their feet in tight shoes because they are ashamed to have them in' proportion to tlieir bodies: thus in time they deform .them until they are out of all proportion to the body" and sometimes in tfco direction they do not intend. The -public eye being not critical of proportion, without their going to the pain ot pinching their feet, consider them small therefore there is no excuse tor . exchanging this kind of torture and ‘ the dignified carriage, two essentials to the greatest beauty. In fact, anything else “could bettor he sacrificed than ease of motion.
