she had witnessed an attack on John

SHOE SIZES.
The Way They Were Arbitrarily Fixed
by a Erenchman.


Stockings have always been meas.
ured by the inch from heel to toe, but
the numbering of shoes was fixed a
long time ago by u Frenchman, and
it's SO long ago that only one New
York dealer could be found who knew
anything about it. Even he didn't
know the inventors name.
The Frenchmair permanently fixed
the numbers of shoes for all Europe
and America. lie arbitrarily decided
that no human foot could possibly be
smaller than three and seven4eighths
inches. so. calling this point zero, he
allowed one-third of an inch to size
and SO built up his scale, Consequent
ly man cannot find out the number
of his own shoe unless he is an expert
at exact arithmetic. And even then
he is likely to go wrong, because all
shoe experts allow for the weight of
the individual and the build of his foot
before they try to determine what size
shoe he ought to wear.
As far rs women's shoes are concern
ell the problem Is still more difficult,
because many of the manufacturers,
instead of keeping to the regular scale,
have marked down their numbers one
or two sizes in order to capture easily
fiattered customers. For this reason
most dealers ask out Of town custom
ers to send an old shoe with their or.
ders.
The system of measuring hats is much
simpler. Any man can tell what size
|, he wears by simply adding the width
and length of the inner rim and then
dividing by two. Orders can also be
sent to the storekeeper by stating the
circumference Of the head.-New York
