PROrOS of the present vogue for fur-top boots for milady, the
A following story Is told:
A sweet young thing wss walking up, let's say West Far
nam, wearing new, fur-top shoes, of whlrh she was Justly proud,
for. I assure you. they were things of beauty. A dog saw the fur and
made an attack, divesting one of the shoes of trimming.
The dog may have thought he recognlsM In that fur an o'd-tlme foe
the neighbor's cat. But even If he did, women may feel sure that mice will
give the fur-tops a wide path.
Which Is sufficient to assure lasting popularity for the boot, so far
as milady Is concerned.
