A wagonload of wooden shoes, such as are worn by European peasants, lay in a heap on the floor of a woodware dealer's store down town in New Yorke the other day. "Who wears 'em)" inquired the writer as be looked at the stock. "Mora „people than you would think," was the answer of the dealer, "and not only foreign born, old fashioned folks, but quite a number of Americans. Their chief sale is in winter. In fact, there is little or no call for them at any other season. Our customers are mostly dairymen, gar- deners, farmers, brewers, dyers and men employed in slaughter houses. Chicken cleaners In the dressed poultry business who stand in feabhors and steam wear them to save their shoe leather. Gardeners' wives and daughters wear them about home, and sometimes in the severeab weath- er in the market. "In the cold weather car, truck and cab drivers in New York and other cities wear them far the reason that they are warmer than any other footwear. Some drivers cover them with black cloth, or blacken them, and then tack old rubber or leather bootlegs to the top. Worn thus the thick Bolen aro a great protection against frost and one's feet are always dry.
