THE MIDDLE-AGED MAN.
ssesivered Himself OF q Brief Dis.
course Upon the Subject OF
SQueaky Shoes.

"This matter may not seem to you"
said the middle-aged man, according
to the New York Sun, zone of grave
Importance, but it appears, neverthe-
less, to be fact that there are, now
adays, not nearly so many squeaky
shoes worn rs there were years ago;
there used to be many; now there are
comparatively few. Time and again,
for instance, l have seen walking up
q church aisle, little late perhaps,
and SO alone and all the more con-
spicuous, a man whose boots squeaked
so that the sound of them filed all
the church, and the thoughts Of
every worshiper besides. But he
would move noiselessly now.
"There vas n time when people
didn't object to squeaky shoes, when,
in fact, they rather liked them. The
squeak proclaimed their degree of
newness, for the newest squeaked
most; and people didn't object to
your knowing that their shoes were
not old and worn out, but new shoes.
They used to put into some shoes in
those days between the inner and the
outer sole piece of what was called
squeak leather, to make the shoes
squeak the more; but commonly the
squeaking was caused simply by the
chatting of one sole against the other
as the wearer walked. Some of these,
though, were mighty good squeakers.
Later there came q time when
squeaky shoes found less favor; when,
in fact, there were many people who
preferred that their shoes should not
squeak. This sort of middle period
is marked by the appearance in con-
temporaneous prints of recipes for
stopping or preventing the squeaking
of shoes. One way suggested was to
soak the soles in water; this was said
to be effective, at least as long as the
shoes remained damp; another way
was to drive tack or two or few
pegs through the two soles so that
they could not rub one against the
other. And from that, in due course,
we rose to the comparatively squeak
less dignity of the present day.
"How this has been accomplished,
whether the squeaking is now special
ly guarded against in some manner,
or whether it has been largely eliminate
ed as one of the results of the vast
ly different modern methods of manu-
facture, or what, do not know; but
certain it is that in these days you
don't hear anything like so many
squeaky shoes as you once did,"
