Tin: BIT.: OMAHA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBKIl (, 1915.
By MELLIFICIA.
Friday, November 5, 1915.
WOULD you be interested In what decision rant from a learned
convention of foot specialists lately assembled In convention In
Atlanta. Ga.. the very pick of the profession from all the states?
Here are a few:
The smallest feet In the country are those of Georgia women.
Nort'aern women have not so small feet as southern.
Of the northern women, the New Yorkers have the smallest feet.
Western women have not so small feet as eastern women.
The smaller a woman's foot, She greater are the chances that she will
wear tight shoes.
It Is true the southern women have slightly smaller feet, but their
dealers demand footwear numbered one and one-half sizes smaller than
the same sizes In a northern shoe shop.
True, too. feet do look smallef in New York; btit our western dealers
do not carry boots and shoes of the same construction, a trick used to
create the Illusion of smallness. The Idea Is carried out In slippers that
can 'be bought In the west, but not In shoes which may be worn upon the
rtrect.
The western woman is very candid about her feet; she wears no false
Insteps to take up the length of her foot In a forced curve that also mas
querades as a high instep, nor does she raise ber foot by "Hfta" until her
heel Is an inch up in ber shoe.
Just a fig for all the convention said of the smallneew of the eastern foot
over the western. Boston feet could make Omaha feet look like miniatures
any day. As for tha New York woman, there Is hardly such a creature
the tiniest foot on the Great White Way is like as not from Wahoo or
Cheyenne. Here Is the secret: It's all in the make of the shoe, my dear,
In a few little tricks of Illusion. Don't forget bow William Gillette cou'd
change his height to suit the part he played. The same may be done with
you foot. If you're willing to suffer for it.

WOMEN WORRY AS
FUR PLANT BURNS
But Although Loss it About Twenty
Thousand Dollars Omaha Women
Will Not Lose Furs.
SOME ARE DAMAGED BY WATEE
SKIN MSA.
When Omaha women read In the
morning jmpf-rs that the plant of the
National Fur and Tanning company
vas burning, many at once began to
vrirry, for many had their furs there
Hther for storage or being repaired.
They kept the telephone office at
The Bee busy until they were as-
cured that none of the storage furs
was destroyed find only a few that
were there for repairs were slightly
dsniaged by wr.Ur. The company
etys these orders will be replaced or
htttled in full.
The plant at 1M5 South Thir
teenth street wns rtnmsayd by fire enrly
yesterday, the lo.s being estimated at
11 em) revered by Insurance.
The fire originated In a room on the
second floor. Hponlsncous combustion J
Is believed to have Ignited a lot of ma
terial In a room used for the manufac
ture of fur conts. The first floor waa
water-soaked. The firemen got the fire
under control before It spread beyond a
portion of the second floor.
The building Is of two stories, of brick
walls and frame construction.
Reeon tructlon work will be starlet
at once.
The company reporta there will be a
short delay In the shop until the Insur
ance adjuster has gone over the factory,
but this will only be a matter of two
or three days. The tanning, dyeing and
taxidermy depnrtmrnta are m-orklng as
usual and the full office force Is st
work ready to take care of all customers
and Inquiries.
D. I). Arnold Is general manager of
the concern and N. II. Ijoomi-, president.
The latter highly prnled the work o?
the firemen, s.iylng that th"lr efficient
efforts made it possible for the firm to
continue business the same as usual.
Joe Foreman and Harvey Smith, both
of truck No. 3, sustained injuries while
flgtitlng the Llaze. Foreman received a
deep cut on the cheek when struck by
a cornice. Dr. Charles Zlmmerer took

Ton have deubtless heard the
story of Pat and the whisky.
The story goes Pat was sitting by
the road side with a keg labeled,
"Whiskey Delow Cost" When
asked how he could make a living
on that basis, he replied: "Sure,
It's the quantity I sell." Leave Pat
alone for an answer. Now, we
have a lot of silks which we might
label In that way, and keep near
the borderland of truth. A manu
facturer's agent saw the goods on
our counters only yesterday. Why,
he said, we made that and that
and that. Our prices were higher
than you retail thera for; how can
you do it? Hetv's the answer:
Oue of the biggest or all the Silk
Jobbers, after a big season's busi
ness, said: "Here Is a lot of odd
pieces from various lines which we
would be glad to sell. What '11
you give." In two minutes we
owned the good. They are oa
