sandals on Egyptian mummies proves
that the wearing OF shoes Is almost as
old as the race itself. In Venice In the
seventeenth century every lady OF any

what were called ''choppines." high
clogs or pattcns. to elevate them from

who visited Venice In 1911. says OF

found on the dead monarrh's feet, and
also on those OF his queen. In the time
