She had got them enough to last while she and Daddy were in Europe, or at least she said she hoped they would last, but they dAid wear their shoes out quickly. Climbing trees and running all day doâ€" give them hard wear. Qaddy said he didn‘t care, for it was right they should have good, healthful exercise, and Mumsey agreed with him. At story telling time the children came in to show Aunt Dee their shoes, and she said she /thought they . all looked so comfortable argq pret_ty. "How would you children like to hear a little about the history â€"of shoe making?‘ she asked. Of course they were delighted. They were very much interested in their new shoes and thought it would be great fun to hear how people first started to wear them. 4 "Shoesâ€"are one, Of the OIGCSt a‘ll~" cles of dress,"‘ said Aunt Dee. "Peoâ€" ple first started to wear them when they felt the need of some protection for their feet. You children love to go ‘ barefoot in the garden in sumâ€" mer, but if you had to always walk around on rought ground without any covering for your feet you would soon learn how uncomfortable it was. "TheEgyptians â€" made sandals out of palm leaves and leather.

A Heraldâ€"Sun Feature TH THE CHILDREN ‘*Bout Her Knecs Aunt Dexe TEiuusâ€" {| At all Stores olden times we find that many funny styles in shoes were used. You see fancy shoes were supposed to show that people wearing them were aristocratic and well off. Therefore the â€"more fancy they were the more important the people wearing them felt. In the reign of Richard the Second of Engâ€" land the styles had become so exâ€" treme that the points of the shoes were made so long that they curled up to the knees and were fastened to them by gold and silver chains. "Of course, this was very silly, and a law was passed in about the middle of the fifteenth century forbidding shoemakers to make shoes for any but the atistocrats with toes longer than two inches. The style had led to much extravagance among those who were not able to afford the fancy shoes the rich people wore. Some of these foolish looking shoes were made with toss scut to look like church windows. a In her noxt story Aunt Dee tells of how the copper used to make her tem kettle was found. "After the shoemakers were not alâ€" lowed to make long toes they thought over how they could manage to make the shoes extreme enough to make people want to buy them, so they widâ€" ened the toes, but as this was as silly a style as that of the long toes in Queen Mary‘s reign another law was passed which forbade shoemakers making the toes of shoes wider than six inches. "Oh, Aunt Dee, how funny it would be if we had the toes of our shoes fastened to our knees," laughed Happy. es yan Niz uh o * ~_"We couldn‘t climb a single tree," said Gerald. a "No dears, it was a foolish fashion. You should be glad to ba able to get the pretty, sensible shoes Mumsey bought you," said Aunt Dee. «‘I will tell you some other time about how the early shoemakers did their work. It will make an interesting story, as will also the way in which they treat the leather they use in shoes." What a payer or the payee are to do in places, of which there ar many throughout Canada, where there is neither Customs offfice nor branch bank, is not specified. The only method suggested is that such people should send to the nearest city for a big enough supply at a time to carry them over a fair period and keep a sufficient stock in hand to be sure of never running out. "After that date, excise tax, stamps only shallybe used. Excise tax stamps may be purchased from any Cutoms and Excise office, or branch of any chartered bank in Canada. j SIRHAIG _Cigar Kidney, Grimsby, Sept. 26, Easson, Grimsby, Sept. 26, ook, Grimsby, Sept. 26, .
