“WHY SO LARGE?”
Sydney Girl Observes London Feet London, May 8. The firs', thing that struck Miss No-la Gough, of Victoria Street, Sydney, on her arrival in England, was rhe rather big feet of her country cousins’. “1 don't mean your men,” she was careful to explain. “It is your women's feet. Why are they so large? I should think it was due to their walking a lot in their childhood, or to their' bad judgment in footwear.” Asked if it was the women’s feet that had impressed her more than anything else, she replied: “I'm afraid so. To counteract this, however, English women have something that most other nationalities have not got., and that is a fascinating dignity and charm which makes them very feminine.”
