on

newest shoe styles

and how to suit them to your feet

Y

-OU choose your clothes on two points: fashion

and (equally important) suitabilify to your parti- cular shape and colouring..

Shoes should be given the same considerations. That your feet are comfortable and in a smart model doesn't necessarily mean that their dressings hide your foot faults. Drawings show four types of feet-the right and wrong shoddings for each of them...

When you've decided that your feet are perfect and you don't have to listen to any of the advice, you can make straight for plain smartness and/or comfort as you've always done.

Remembering that the newest designs are higher fitting- with either straps or front panels built up over the arch: that Inces are generally being replaced by studs or buttons; that, for evening, the more your foot looks like a piece of Chinese bandaging the smarter you'll be; and that the phase for low heels (that made so many of us look of the same proportions as a penguin) is well on the

way to the old clothes man.

Now stir in a pint of boiling-milk and add a pinch of sugar, salt and few pepper. Simmer gently for a minutes and serve.
