Story Of the Hob Heel.

The high-heeled shoe was intro
duced in the Middle ages, when both
men and women took to it.
Man, however, soon found that he
could not live a mans life and do a
mans work while wearing high heels,
and so resumed his low-heeled shoes,
leaving high heels to the ladies, with
whom they have always been popu-
lar.
The modern high heel is, In its way,
a triumph Of art, being of wood, which
is lighter than leather and keeps its
shape. The heel contains a spring,
which adds to the grace Of it's wear
er's walk. AS the instep is raised the
figure is thrown slightly forward, and
a pronounced elegance is the result.
But 1t most be admitted the high heels,
though improving the appearance, do
not always improve the physique of
their wearers, and are frequently
the cause Of ill-health.
