Curious Facts about tho Ocv- erings For Our Feet. ¥ow and Where They Ara Made Fashious in Shoes French, Gorman and Span= ' ish Styles. New Yorg Tim Many fashionablo ladies would bs surprised to learn how many of the Fronch shoes aud boots which they er superior to all that America in reality of home con san produce anufactare, there are ccly any shoes imported for the ‘merican market, and nouo at all for New York. On the contrary there is a cousiderable export trade, and famnilies living in Paris, with all the ifold marvels of the Palais Royal and boulevards at their disposal, or- dor their boots from New York, whose manufactories stand unrivaled for the finish and style of their shoes. The loather alone comes from foreign sources, that employed by the best manufacturers mainly from France- French kid, either polished or dull, the latter being known to the trade as and mat kid, forming the stuple material for the purpose of up- ers, This kid, either dressed or un- ressed, is found better suited for wear than any other kind. So-called moroceo is of home production, and is generally made from South American goat skins, tanned and expressly pre- pared for the native manufacturers, ‘Phe finest shoes in the market are made in New York itsclf, and many of those which find their way west aro menufactured in Massachusetts are made upon lasts furnished by firms in this city. In spite of the vast im- provements made in machtnery and the extent to which itis employed in this indusiry, the best shoes are al- ways hand finished and very generally hand made, and in this we find the reason for the high prico of American a8 compared with foreign shoes. English work stands high for dura- bility and the care bestowed upon it, but 1t is generally wanting in finish and style. English mechanics coming here are considered valuable work- men on account of their thorough- nees, but are always eubjected to & certain drilling before they are equal to the requirements of the American manufacturer. French shoes and French workmen, on the other hand, are noted for the lightness and style of their work, but almost equally go for its want of durability; it is in_the combination of the excellences of both that the American expert stands un- rivaled at his trade as shoe-maker. German shoes have nothing to recom- who would as soon think of wearing a sabot a8 a boot imported from Germany. The mention of sabots rominds us of a curious use to which we have seen them put in Holland, where, in the heated days of summer, dusty and travel-stained women snd childre:n may be seon at the city fountains de- liberately making tho wooden shoe which haa been worn in from the vil- lage many miles away serve asa driuk- ing vessel, These sabots, with their clatter, clatter, come back to memory a8 most importent factors in Dutch lite; probably in many a village around Now York they might be found stow- od away as relics of the Fatherland, long since replaced by the substantial leather boot of the American artisan. Although, as we havesaidi the finest shoes in the trade are thoee made in New York itself, there is no question that the perfection which the manu- facture has attained 1s largely due to the energy and enterprise of the Mas- sachusetts mechanics, In Lynn more particularly, ever pince its first settle- ment, the making of boots and shoes had been a very prominent industry. Women's ghoes, more eepecially, are made there in enormous quantities, and at very cheap rates, One hun- dred and tienty yearsago a Welsh- man named John Adam Aagyr, who led at Lynn, rose to opulence ¢ wuccess #8 & shoemak Daving the revolutionary war the| pupply of shoes for the army was mainly drawn from Massachusetts, and the trade assumed considerable proportions, but after the declaration of independence so many English and French shoes wereimportec nch sh Bpecu lators that trade languish to revive once more in Lynn, where, in 1788, | to over 100,600 pair Ten ycars later the trade had eo far increased that 900,000 pairs were sent mainly to the south, and from {lat date to the present it had gone on steadily incressing, un'il the produc tion is estimated at 12,000,000 pairs. of & yalue amounting to some $15,- 000,000 and giving employment to over 10,000 operatives. The boots and shoes manufactured in Massachusetts | these, for ladies, the firat attempt to introduce machinery b upon a large scale was made in Eog-| land in 1800, when a patent was granted for a method of riveting soles and heels to the uppers instead of sewing them together; and the famous engineer, Brune), was the first to in worT able deb: mer Chelsea hospital, for the supply of the army. But this Eoglish machine fell into disfavor, and it was followed by the general adoption of the American factory system and the use of Ameri- can machinery, 1t would be impossi ble to enumerate the various novel- tios and improvements in machinory which have been made in the United T migl the for which six different patents were granted in 1851, and which was per-| N footed in 1860, since whon it has been in gencral use. By this machine two pairs of women's shoes ean bo pegaed in a minute, and _two, three, or four, rows of pegs can be putin at tho same oy time. Kqually important 1s the sole- | = wewing machine, by meaus of which | nparly 100 pairs ot women's shoes are furnished with soles in an hour, aud 800 paics sewn as the result of a day’s | work is considered fair. This is the | McKay machine already named, and the income from the royalties upon its use amounts to over $600,000. A machine-made boot passes through 28 different hands, and a pair finished by hand through 33. That ie, of course, in manufactories; in small shops one man can complete a pair alone, but in 50 dotng he will passit through 33 dis- tinct operations. Tho mechanics employed in New York are mainly foreigners, Irish and talians making the best workmen, although Germans and Swedes ary largely employed. Manufacturors say that the margin of profit upon shoe making is far smaller than is supposed, the materials being very expensive, and the best leather for uppers, which 18 imported paying a duty of 20 and 30 per cent. The cost of & pair of kid uppers 18 $2.25, or from $24 to 830 a dozen, Heels are supplied to the manufacturers at the rate of $4.60a dozen pair. Fancy shoes and slippers are principally made at custom stores, and vary in _style considerably more than every day boots and shoes! about which there has been for many years an uninteresting monotony, chiefly varied by the introduction of what is called the common sense or broad soled shoe, and the anatomical boot or shoe, which purports to be made in the exact proportions of the natural human foot without regard to the exigencies of fashion, This latter was introduced in New York some 15 years ago by a chiropodist, and has gained considerable favors so much so that 50 men are in his employ, and the demand steadily increaser, but it is the doubtful whether the patronage extendod to thin style of boot will o ver exercise any influence upou the trade. Last season the fashion of having shoes to match the costume was much fn vogue, but, the fashionable shoemskers are of opinion that this fall and winter the preferonce will bo given to fine bronze shoes for dinner wear and to white satin or kid for full dress. Shoes to match costume are, of course, gen- erally mado to order, but it will be difficult to procure loathers in the deep-toned colors which are to be fashionable this winter. Straps are no longer worn across the instep, and rosettes and bows of all kinds are out of fashion. The low-cut tie, showing the embroidery of » handsome stock- ing, is preferred, and will be made in brouzs this season. *‘Spanish shoes” were at one time fashionable, and were usually of black eatin, cmbroid- ered on the toes iu beads, or even in eolored silks, and were only obtain- able in very small sizes, the Spauish beauty priding herself almost as much as the Chinese upon the smallness and symmetry of her foot. Recontly alligator skin has been largely us2d for gentlomen’s slippers. 1t 18 usually of the natural color, it being found very difiicult to dye it in any of the popular shades, It is very duratle, and 18 gaining in favor for the purpose. The very prettiest styles of all this season are shown in children’s shoes, especially in those for very small tots, which are made in the softest kid, either white, cream- color, or pink, and trimmed with little frillings of the same kid up the front snd around the top, Silk-cord laces of different colors, finished off with little tassels, are also popular, The Russian boot for little boys is quite out of fashion; helf shoes are more usually worn, and what sre known as Oaford tics. | A consideration of boots and shoes is ucarely complete without a motice of the meny improvements introduced for protection from the weather, Of cork sole boots | in them a layer introduced between the insole and outaole, which effcctually are the most practic of cork is [ are of the heaper kinds and mainly |tended to lift & SATUKDAY, SEPTEMBER 16 | Tam giad T dic months’ use of waa cure | humbugging. — H.
