The Japanese Wooden Shoe. Clatter, clatter, clatter! What a noise the people make as they go along the road! They nil wear wooden sandals, and their stockings are a kind of mitten with a finger for the big toe. During wet weather their sandala become stilta, and the whole Japanese nation increases its stature by three inches when it rains. These sandala are held to the foot by straps coming over the toes, and there is a straw solo between the foot and the sandal of wood. A tall Japanese on a stilt sandal closely approaches the ridiculous. ridicu-lous. Ho sometimes tucks up his long gown under lus belt to keep it from being be-ing spattered by the mud, and the backB of his bare calves seem to be walking off with the man. The Japanese walk is peculiar. The men put their feet straight in front of them, like tho American Indian. In-dian. They lift them high off the ground, and they have a get there air about them. The women wabble nnd wabble; they bend over as they walk, and they have what ia now in America tho fashionable stride. Thcbr littlo feet In sandals turn inward, and all female Japan is pigeon toed. Your Japanese beauty ia not averse to showing her ankle, and the soul of the Japaneso beau does not flutter when he seea a two inch slice of cream colored skin nbovo the three inch foot mitten. The Japanese shoe store ia ono of wooden-ware wooden-ware rather than of leather, and the cobbler cob-bler mends his shoe with the chisel and planer. Frank G. Carpenter's Letter.
