"A Brief History of the shoe-where to ,et
what Is Needed.

No doubt you have frequently heard ii re-
marked that IL q man wears clean linen aud
well-titting and wsll-kept shoes he II well
dressed, regardless OF the rest of his attire.
The remark embodies truth, though in u
slightly exaggerated form. The shoe IS an
important Part of the apparel OF either man
or woman, and no one can be considered
dressed neatly who negleCts it.
Adam and Eve had to have their feet pro
tected, and while the shoe made from skins
OF animals was not an institution previous to
the Middle Ages, it may he presumed they
covered their pedals 10y winding grass. leaves,
bark or rushes about them. When the RO-
mans were on an expedition in Northern
Europe and first met the hArbafOus tribes
there, they found them wearing skin shoes
which were tied above the ankle. In medl"-
val times the leather footwear urginatOrS
found this material susceptible Of Ornamen-
tation, but they did not know tue advantage
of heels or supports for the middle sole or
instep. Indeed the heeled shoe now cannot
claim an existence OF more than three aud a
half centuries, During the reign OF the
French emperor, Louis NV, the heel was
made incOnyeniently high, often with de
sire to increase the stature. At a museum in
Paris is seen a lady's shoe Oi that period hav-
ing the heel six inches in length; which
made the sole slope forward at an angle
OF ninety-tive degrees. 1t the belle didn't
walk on her nose, surely she did ON her
toes.
There are, doubtless, some dealers in this
sixteenth century and OF the middle ages, but
