Women's Feet

A Paiis bootseller, who numbers among his cnstomers the qneens of many oationalities, has been giving his opinión of the f eet of the female portion of different countries. He insiste that the ladies of Madrid take the smallest shoes, Peruviana and Chileans coming next. American women, he also says, are noted for their dainty feet and the care they take of them. According to him, the Russians have heavy, broad feet, and the smallest size that ever fits any of them is a five. The empress of Austria requires a long, narrow shoe. The Empress Eugenie has a beautifully shaped foot, with an exceedingly high instep, and takes a srnall five. The queen of Spain has very large feet, and so flat that a little paddiug is ahvays inserted across the instep. Her majesty of Italy is extremely difficult to please in boots and shoes. She favors perfectly flat heels and square toes and will always insist, for the sake of comfort, on having her boots a size too largeforher. English ladies, according to this authority, wear awkwardly made boots and shoes as a rule and are less careful of the appearance of their feet than the women of other nationalities.
