For.some time she has had a business contract with a shoemaker in Milan who every . fortnight sends her two dozen new palrs of dancing shoes, no matter : where she may be. “The life of ballet shoes is often very short,” said the great Russian dancer, who lives in a beautiful * villa just outside London. “Some- times I diseard a pair after danc- ing in them for only half an hour | —perhaps because they stretch | and get too wide.
