ATURDAY, NOVE MBER 6, 191 Society By MELLIFICIA. Friday, November 5, 1915. ‘A ’OI'LD you be interested in what decisions came from a learned convention of foot specialists lately assembled in convention in Atlanta, Ga., the very pick of the profession from all the states? Here are a few The smallest feet in the country are those of Georgia women, Nortaern women have not so small feet as southern, Of the northern women, the New Yorkers have the smallest feet Western women have not so small feet as eastern women, The smaller @ woman's foot, the greater are the chances that she will wear tight shoes. It is true the southorn women have slightly smaller feet, but their dealers demand footwear numbered one and one-half sizes smaller than the same sizes in a northern shoe shop. True, too, feet do look smaller In New York; but our western dealers do not carry boots and shoes of the same construction, a trick used to croate the illusion of smallness. The idea is carried out in slippers that| an‘be bought in the west, but not in shoes which may be worn upon the streot, The western woman is very candid about her feet; she wears no false insteps to take up the length of her foot in a forced curve that also mas- querades as a high instep, nor does she ralse her foot by “lifts” until her heel is an inch up in her shoe. Just a fig for all the convention sald of the smallness of the eastern foot | over the western. any day. As for the New York woman, there Is hardly such a creature— the tinlest foot on the Great White Way is like as not from Wahoo or Cheyenne. Here is the secret: It's all in the make of the shoe, my dear, in a few little tricks of illusion. Don’t forget how Willlam Gillette cou'd change his height to suit the part he played. The same may be done with you foot, if you're willing to suffer for it. of the board of education and Superin- tendent E. U. Graff, 8. .

The story goes Pat was sitting by the road side with a keg labeled, “Whiskey Below Cost.” When asked how he could make a living on that basis, he replied: ‘“‘Sure, it's the quantity I sell.” Leave Pat alone for an answer Now, we have a lot of silks which we might label in that way, and keep near the borderland of truth, A manu facturer's agent saw the goods on our counters only yesterday. Why, he said, we made that and that and that. Our prices were higher than you retail them for; how can you do it?
