Dear Sir, - As a Reader of "London Life" for a number of years, I was delighted to read "Short Leg Admirer's" letter, as I myself am fascinated by the sight of a really well-shaped high boot. I am fortunate enough to be well acquainted with a young lady who is compelled to wear one. She never wears boots, but always purchases the most fashionable shoes it is possible to obtain, and to have the left one raised to suit her leg, as she will only have a very slender heel it was to be made of wood, and the sole only of cork. I shall never forget the day she came to meet me with a new pair of summer shoes on, white kid with blue facings; and the left one, with its thick sole and seven inch heel covered in kid to match. I am enclosing a sketch of one of her hoes, black suede, sole and heel faced with patent leather, which I hope is fit for publication.
Does "Short Leg Admirer" know the name of the lady pianist who wears a very dainty high shoe? I have seen her on the variety stage, but fail to remember her name. I should be very glad if he could enlighten me.
Yours truly,
High Shoe Lover.
