FEET USED TO BE LARGER.

A Modern No. Shoe Would Have
Fitted an Ancient Greek Belle.
Artists assure us that no Greek
sculptor would have ever dreamed Of
putting a nine inch foot on a five and
one-half foot woman. The types for
the classic marble figures were taken
from the most perfect forms of living
persons. Unquestionably the human
foot, as represented by the ancient
scu1ptors, was larger than the modern
one; and, in fact, the primitive foot Of
all peoples whereof we have any rec
ord, either of statuary or otherwise,
was considerably larger than the re-
| stricted foot of later times.
The masculine foot, forming an ap-
! proximate average Of four different
countries, was about twelve inches
long. This would require at least a
| No. 10 shoe to cover it comforta bly,.
The average masculine foot today is
easily fitted with No. 81 shoe and is
therefore not above ten and seven-six-
teenths inches. Now, by the old sculp-
tural rule of proporti0n, man five
feet nine inches in height should have
a foot eleven and one-half inches long,
or one-sixth his height. It was of no
great consequence what size sandal he
wore, but he would have required a
modern shoe of at least No. 1917 for
a minimum fit or No. IL for real
comfort.
For women. allowing for the differ
ence in the relative size of the sexes,
which was about the same then as
now, woman of five feet three inches
in height would have had foot ten
inches long, requiring modern shoe of
the size No. as the most comfortable,
or No. 81 as the limit Of comfort
