CRUELTY

fact, they are a regular
"Society for 1 lie Preven

What are their methods?
Perfect (it, pinnipied by
respect to the shape of
the human foot. A sim
ple creed, but doesn't it
cover the whole field?
Then a shoe may treat a
foot "shabbily" without
being exactly cruel to it.
That a to say, the shoe
may lack stylo and wear

have the wearing capacity
and style along with the
