This shoe, the third and last, belonged to Rosa Anderson, a fair
maid of Perth, whose elopement created a great sensation in bygone
days in the town, to whose Council her husband belonged. Let us hope

chimerical happiness from the path of duty which appeared prosaic in
the face of flattery and attention from one whose position far exceeded
that of the burgher’s wife.

Dancing sandals worn in the ballet by Madame Cerri, made of pink
satin with pink satin ties. The soles very small, and the padded toes
protruding considerably beyond them.
