the Boot People's, motto is 'Chryptoconchoidsyphonostomatn," which, being interpreted, means that the Boots and Shoes of Hannah are out 011 their own. It spells comeliness, no corns, the beauteous appearance of the pedal extremities, irresistible fascination of the slim female ankle, the peculiar patrician pedalgogines*, as it were, of the springing steps of the sole over matter of the mere man (you know •wliat f mean), and is derived from the Anglo-Italianico, Franco-Russo, Ser-biano-Montenegrino, Belgianico and Jellicoo, allied with the best of leather, best of workmanship.
