QUEEN ELIZABETR,S SHOE.
England's Virgin Monarch Evidently
Had Pretty Little Foot.


A souvenir of Englands Virgin Queen
is extant to-day in the shape of slipper
and sandal worn by her more than 800
years ago. They are at present in the
possession of the keeper of shoe store in
New York. The shoe is still in Won
derful state Of preservation and it is a
specimen of the handicraft of the Crispins
of those days.
The Queen must have had tiny foot, as
the shoe is only No ] in length, though
rather too broad to be considered precisely
shapely at the present time. 1t is very
similar in shape and form, however. to a
lady's dress shoe of to-day 1t is made of
yellow brocaded satin, lined with fine,
stout linen canvas. The sole is of oak
tanned leather, somewhat coarser and
heavier than would be put into such shoe
to-day. The heel is exactly like the high
French heel of modern times, though
well under the rear of the foot, and is at
least two inches high. The toe of the
shoe runs to a sharp point. Across the
instep are two satin straps, which were
evidently intended to fasten to buckle or
strap, and the back of the shoe is entirely
devoid of a counter or stiffening. The
CuSCS dtS WIN FcilON clih
The workmanship is remarkably good, as
many shoe manufacturers who have seen it
testify. The stitching is very fine and
regular, and cannot be exceiled by the best
that is done to-day.
Accompanying the shoe is sandal, evil
IDENTIFY made to go with it, as the bits of
silk in the strap across the instep are of
the same yellow satin of which the shoe
itself is made. The sandal is even more
curious in its way than the shoe. 1t con-
sists simply OF two thicknesses of sole
leather, corresponding in size and shape
with the sole Of the shoe, except that it is
fiat on the bottom and heelless. On the
upper side there is an elevation to fit in
the hollow Of the shoe itself. 1t was evil
IDENTIFY only intended to keep the sole from
contract with the ground, and is without
sides or uRpers except the narrow straps to
hold it in place, and which, like straps on
the shoe, were Intended to be fastened
with buckles. The authenticity of the
relic is vouched for by the possessor, who
has its history back to the time when one
of the Queens maids of honor gained pos
session of it at the time of the Queens
death.-Ner Tork Truth.
