"A Neat Pair of Ankles"
LL eyes, sooner or later, are focused on the advancing or retreating feet of women. They notice everything from the tip of the toe to the back of the heel, and the seam running up the back of the stocking. Men, indeed, seem to start their appraisal of a woman’s appearance and impression of her by
a study of her feet, At 1east that’s the impression their remarks would lead one to believe. When walking in the street they are always the first to detect the liquid-stockinged legs, and to comment on them. Where we women often say of a passer-by-"Did you ever see a sweeter’ expression?" or "What a dreadful hat!" they remark on "a neat pair of
ankles," or "a good hold on New Zealand."(A.C.E. Talk on "Care of Footwear," 4YA, May 2.)
