. English Women’s Feet Larger Than The Americans’ pir ake RO Royal Bootmaker Who Made Prin- cess Mary’s Wedding Shoes yy Says So. Helen H. Hoffman. {Special Correspondent of The Eve- ning World.) LONDON, Feb. 28.—''The change fa the human figure during the past eentury 1s niost marked in the in- creased size of woman's foot. Only the other day I was comparing the two laste—the present day one and the one worn by women a hundred years ago. The contrast was almost startling.” . Albert Welch, who made this ob. servation yesterday, had just finished Yashioning Princess Mary's wedding silyer gloth slippers. He had also made @ number of other handsome shoes for her trousseau. For thirty years ly has been making shoes for royalfy, not only of England, but & other countries, and his list of fash- Jonable clients includes many wealthy Americans resident in London. “Many American women for whom 3 have made shoes have what I should call good-sized feet, but gen- erally speaking,’’ said Mr. Welch, *‘I believe the English women's average is a larger shoe. “I think this must be due to the question of exercise, for English go in for more strenuous out-of-door games thaf most any women I know of. For instance, take golf, you would hardly find a woman who plays golf much who wore a very small shoe. “The woman of one hundred years ‘ago was quite different in this respect, and therefore the last she wore was much narrower than the one worn by the average woman to-day. At the same time, one cannot say that the modern woman's foot is not shapely, because it is. She is well shod and J believe artists regard the modern woman's, foot with greater .admira- UNIT CO valuable premiums women walk a great deal, and they |‘ 7 ‘THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, FEB jon than tho old fashioned woman, use her feet are in splendid pro- portion to her body and afford per- fect symmetry of line and propor-| tion."’ | “The English woman does not go in for the ‘extreme styles in shoes, for instance, the -three-inch heel," said Mr. Welch. The height of the heels on Princess | three-quarters inches, while the shoes made especially for Queen Mary for this occasion measure a_ slight | quarter of an inch lower. The slippers gorgeous wedding gown are made of silver cloth, the heels of the same material, and trimmed with a fan- shaped bow of white chiffon ornu. mented with an oval shaped buckle of diamonds, The slippers for Queen Mary are made of champagne colored antelope skin, trimmed with a large old gold buckle, “Buckles determine the shoe," sald this well known fashioner of court footwear. Often people come to mo with handsome jeweled or’ plain buckles; some of them heirlooms and quite valuable. After I have seen the buckles I suggest the kind of shoe they should have for them.” Both in Paris and London the or. namentation on evening shoes and | even some of the afternoon shoes is |auite elaborate. Very few severely plain evening slippers are seen amons;| fushionable women.
