with diamonds. The shoemakers' art came at
this time to closely approach that of the Jew
eler, and the brightest minds of that epoch did
not consider 1t beneath them to design novel
ties in footwear. A little pinching was in
dulged in by some of the fair maidens, and
lovers treasured their mistresses' shoes. the
laces of sandal being among the most coveted
keepsakes.
The shoes Of the ancient Romans were OF
great variety. Those in most general use were
OF cloth on a leather sole, being somewhat like
the shoes OF the present day. They rose to
about an inch and q half above tine ankle, where
thew were tied with lacing. Another kind
covered half the leg. A favorite sandal had the
sole cut in the shape Of foot and was held in
place by bandages Of cloth or by strips of
leather. This sort of sandal was worn particu-
larry in the morning. Another description of
sandal had a very heavy SOLE two inches thick,
and was worn by the common people.
Another popular shoe was made of leather,
colored. Sometimes it covered half Of the leg
Soldiers wore kind of sandal. the sole Of which
was provided with heavy spikes. Toward the
end of the Roman republic a fashionable foot
equipment was in the shape of glove, coming
up well on the leg or only to Just above the
ankle. according to the fancy of the wearer
Stockings were then unknown. The customary
chaussure OF women in that dav was very much
like that of the men. Their shoes were usually
white. though sometimes black red, yellow,
green and scarlet. They wore very heavy soles
10 their shoes In order to increase their apparent
height as much as possible.
REPRoACH To GO BAREFOOT
Slaves in ancient Rome were obliged to go
barefooted as a badge Of their servitude They
were called ''cretati," because their feet we're
branded when they were sold, or "gypsati,' -

Ashes and Garbage.

To the Editor of The Evening star:
1t Is misfortune that in this national capital
there exists no municipal regulation providing
for the removal, at public expense, of the ashes
daily produced on the premises Of every citi-
izen. In all the northern cities this service is
regularly performed twice a week at least. Ash
carts. manned by force Of two or three labor
ers each, pass through certain streets on stated
DAYS Monday and Thursday. e. g. to carry
of the incinerated residu of the housekeepers
fuel. Different parts of the city served in
turn. some precincts being visited on Tuesdays
and Fridays. others on Wednesdays and Satur-
days. and so on.
Householders along the line in all of the
collection districts are notified Of the days
when the ashes will be taken up and their re-
ceptacles are seasonably set In some place easy
of access for the carriers, who make their rounds
very early in the morning. In Washington this
work must be done at the personal expense of
the citizen, if at all. When my ash barrel gets
full it is easy to secure the services Of some
peripatetic colored man and have it emptied,
but it is never in order to inquire too curiously
as to what disposition he makes OF the contents.
One might safely hazard conjecture. however,
as to the origin Of the deposits of coal dust and
de.ritus to be seen IN some OF the "open
spaces" of the city. To prevent the surrepti-
tious dumping of ashes the city should assume
the responsibility Of their removal.
Concerning the destruction of kitchen waste,
such corn husks, potato parings. melon
rinds, &c, may say that it has been the prac-
tice in my family for twenty years to burn all
refuse of this kind as soon possible in the
cooking range. Under proper management
no offensive odors are given off in the process,
and the plan is far better from a sanitary point
OF view than the swill-tub system in vogue at
Washington. with its foul emanations of de-
caying vegetation polluting the entire forty
five miles of terrestrial atmosphere and the
ethereal spaces beyond to such degree that
the man in the moon is constrained 10 hold his
nose as he passes over the city. W. H. RAND.

The most popular boot of that date was Of
soft kid with large and decorated top. which
fell about the calf of the leg. One variety of
this style bad decoration at the instep called

oil IN variety of colors. as well Us brocades Of

none but red heels were worn For ladies'
shoes and slippers the heels we're made of wood.
The shoes were covered with embroidery or
braided Fifty dollars was n small price raid
for a chaussure in those DAYS
From these gorgeous fashions shoes gradu-
ally came to assume simpler FORMS being made
of more serviceable materials Thus. through
the processes Of an evolution in the direction
Of usefulness rather than beauty, the footgear
of the present day has become what it is
rather comfortable than elegant.
ANCIENT ROMAN FOOTWEAR.
Even the elaborate shoes of the middle ages
we're not so expressed in fancy" as those used
nv the ancient Romans. The latter expended
IN their footgear all the decorations which their
ingenuity could devise. Their bootmakers
we're really artists The shoes, especially those
n women, were adorned with rich embroideries

and with pearls. Virgil describes light boots
garnished with gold and amber. The skins
used were dyed with colors which cost fabulous
prices. On some shoes precious stones sparkled.
while others were decorated with engraved
silver. Even the sores we're made Of solid gold
Such excessive iaxur- vas not at all uncon-
mon among the Romans, and to see a person
shod with gold occasioned no remark. The
enormous fortunes owned by some Of the pa
tr1cians made the extravaganza seem only in
keeping with their style 81 living. Subse-
4uenay shoes were made of purple kid. The
shape of them was so elegant and the embroid-
cry on them perfect that they were actually
preferred to those with golden soles and set

their shoes clean and neat" The clergy in
those days were the bootmakers. In order to
escape the sin Of idleness they were seen even
In the churches and during services hard at
work at that humble trade. Some Of them
were tailors, and these likewise brought their
work to the sacred editces.
IN tne time OF Charlemagne shoes were not in
general use. and that monarch habitually wore
only bands of different colored cloth wound
ABOUT his feet and legs. However, he had most
elaborate shoes for state occasions. as is shown
Dy those preserved to this day among the i'm
perlal treasu at Vienna
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1893-05-13
Owing to this

because their feet were dusty. Owing to this
custom free men were most careful never to go
out without shoes for fear of being mistaken
for slaves. Magicians when practicing their
craft had one foot naked and the other in
shoe, which style was supposed to be an aid to
their mysterious science.
According to Homer the Greeks wore boots
from the tine when Agamemnon reigned, but
1t Is probable that they only made use Of them
in battle. for the monuments which date from
before the siege of Troy show the people Of
that day wearing a simple sole held on by
bands of either leather or cloth wound several
times around the ankle and sometimes con-
tlnued half way up the leg Ladies wore slip
pers.
Besides their boots and Shoes the Greeks had
another style of footgear which was worn only
inside their houses. This did not cover the
foot. being little more than a sole For muddy
roads they wore large. coarse and solidly made
boots. Shoes Of a certain pattern were called
''Amycleides," after the city Amyclis where
they were manufactured. They were of a
bright red color. Even at Athens many people
went barefoot.
SHOES IN EGYPT.
The monuments of ancient Egypt show fig
ures of women wearing sandals. Nevertheless
Plutarch declares that the people of that coun-
try were accustomed to go barefoot 1t is
known that the Caliph Hakken, founder Of the
religion Of the Druses, forbade the Egyptian
any sort Of footgear for women. The ancient
Egyptians wore shoes which were quite re-
markedly like those Of the nineteenth century,
A. d.
In ancient time a mans nationality could be
distinguished at glance by the style or color
OF his boots. The Assyrians were always shod
in yellow. while the Tyrians preferred purple
OF the tint known as OK blood. Shoes among
the Hebrews PLAYED an important part in the
ceremonies OF life. II man wished to sell an
article he removed his footgear and did not re-
sumo it until he had made the SALE Before the
marriage ceremony was performed among these
people it was customary for the bridegroom to
give ring to the bride. to embrace
her and to present her with shoe.
The Hebrews Of old took of their
shoes when in mourning or when in the pres
ence OF any person to whom they wished to
show marked respect They also left their
shoes at the door on entering their houses
This custom is still followed by some of the
orientals- To a Mussulman a blow with a slip
per was formerly more dreadful than a stab
with dagger, as it disgraced him in the eyes
of his fellows.
The inhabitants Of the Maldive Islands sell
dom wear any foot covering in the street.
though at home they put on wooden sandals or
slippers. However, if they have a visitor to
whom they wish to show Difference they take
off their shoes as a mark Of respect.
