Shoemakers aud haberdasners who
cater to the wants OF the elite assert
that their patrons this year demand
hosiery and shoes averaging from one
half to one and half sizes larger than
they did five years ago. says the New
York Herald, The majority of the
dealers believe that the average length
and breadth of mems feet have been
steadily increasing since the wane OF
the fashion which demanded a pointed
toe and tight-fitting shoe. This they
explain by saying that the effect OF tho
style In vogue six years ago was to
cramp and distort the natural deyel-
opment of the feet When the style
changed and comfort became the critic
rion OF fashion. nature again exerted
itself. Feet which had become dis
torted during the reign of the narrow
shoe and pointed toe slowly began to
broaden and adapt themselves to their
new surroundings. The change, being
gradual. went for q long time I'M
noticed, and not until the merchants
recently began to compare their sales
OF fve years ago with those of today
was 1t found that the average increase
has been approximately one sire. Sew
eral well-known shoe dealers said that
when they frst began to notice the sp-
parent change they became interested
and studied the problem. They found
that when fashion demanded the use of
narrow shoes, feet we're closely con-
nned and by degrees became small.
AS styles changed and an easy nt was
alone desired. the feet seemed to er-
pand and grow steadily larger until
the fashion again required small. neat
Feet. when the process would be re-
peated. One merchant, vsrssd In an
Client and oriental history, pointed out
to me the fact that In countries where
the sandals or other loose foot cover
Ing Is generally worn. the feet of the
inhabitants are comparatively largo
and In countries where a big shoe is in
poor taste. small feet are in tho ma
tority. A vell-known Broadway
hoster, when | told him the theory
advanced by the other habsrdAshsrs
and shoemaksrs. smiled incrsdulously
and said: I'm toll you what my sx-
perience has been; perhaps It would b.
interesting. When times are hard 1
notice that men order large socks, ana
when there is plenty of money they
prefer close-fitting ones. II can all BE-
reduced to a question OF economies. In
my opinion. Large hose wear longer
than those of perfect nt. but they ars
not 80 comfortable. Most well-dresssd
men are the nrst to feel the pressure
OF hard times. and then they begin to
economize. They would probably
deny 1t If you should confront them
with the statement that for the sake
OF saving quarter they were wearing
pair of mistt socks. but under these
conditions nine times out of ten the
accusation would be true"
