SHOE SIZES.
The Way They Were Arbitrarily Fixed
ny a Frenchmsn.


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 Frcnchman, and
it's so long ago that only one New
York dealer could be found who knew
anything about it. Even lie didn't
know the inventors name.
The Frenchman permanently fixed
the numbers of shoes for all Europe
and America. He arbitrarily decided
that no human foot could possibly be
smaller than three and seven-eighths
inches, so. calling this point zero, he
allowed one-third 0fran inch TO q size
and so built up his scale. Consequent.
~ man cannot find out the number
&C 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 lie ought TO wear.
AS far as women's shoes are concern
ed 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
fattered 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 stofekeeper by stating the
circumference II the head.-New York
Sun.
