Evolution of the Shoe- In tbe eleventh century various ma terials were used to make oboes, tine kid leather Iw-itig then invented and euld for g«Mwl round *um*. A sacred song says: “How graceful are thy ste|»s in sandals, <> I*ru»ce*»!" an allusion to the fact that tbe He brew a enriched the hitherto plain foot gear with string* of red. yellow aud purple riblions. which they crossed ia charming style over the gleaming white skin of the arch of the foot. There was a time when shoe* were orua!uvuted with preciou* jewel*, gold and silver embroidery studded with pearl< and, wonderful to relate, ha } gulden soles. Each sei and da** wore diffurei »t*h w *. and if a nun changed bi* that fad was ex- urease*! «-y tU* pLi»**, Lv L— changed hi* sbuee." Tbe Syrian* wore yellow shoe*. The Greek* aud ILunau* improved tbe sandal and invented different form* and *ha lei tu l*e worn by the different classes. Plebian* wore black shoe* with one riblioa; senators and patri cian* wore red and white shoes fas tened witi four nblwiu*. Only slave* and pailosopber* walked barefoot. Tba first Christian* also walked barefoot. Iu the twelfth century l<uot* and san- | data were wurg, the clergy nsing the latter exclusively. The next hundred years saw many improvements a* well a* tbe introduction us tbe p«Mßled toe aboe. a hu b waa afterward* a<> strongly attacked by tbe clergy. Fashion pre vailed and the whole eivtlued world wore th* shoe "who** points bend.” This povnt was like a btr<l a t«*ak—plain peopl* wore th* Iw-ak half a fuo< long ; mor* imjxTtant personage* extended tbe beak to two feet, wh;le princes of the blood added a half foot to that. Tbe beak grew no long that it waa fa*tene*l to the knee by a narrow gold chain no that the wearer of three mon rtro*itie* could walk. Thia long and uncomfortable to* waa diacardea in a hundred year* and the broad toe. aotne- Umesa foot wide, eam* ia. Thea the stilt aboe became tbe style and baela wsre worn to high that w* cannot understand how tbe fashionable* of that tim* could walk at all. Th* most l>erf*ct and graceful shoe* were worn in th* a*vente«nth century. They wer* of velvet and brocalev lied bed* wer* the rag* tn the Um* of Louis XIA’, aad during the revolution the sho* with the buckle disappeared.
