Who is the Best Dressed Woman
in This City?
A difficult question to answer. But this we know
—whoever she is, she wears our shoes—without these
she could not possibly hold the honor.
To be smartly dressed, you must be smartly shod—and to be smartly shod,
you must wear a pair of our pumps, strap effects or novelties—famous for their
swinging style.
