Call in and see us about your re+ quirements, : Wilton, Brussel, Tapestry, If an olden Greek could come back to life and look at the shoes being worn nowadays, he would be aston- ished beyond measure. "What," we can imagine him exclaiming, 'are you trying to do to your feet? Why are you pinching them with such coverings:" The Greek, I suppose, would be told that the present idea of "good looks" is a tight and pointed shoe. "Otympus-is eurely upside down!" he might respond. "I hope for your sake that the idea of 'goud looks' will soon change. In my country we did not pinch or cramp the foot. We let it have room to live." So it twas in truth, The Greeks either went bare-footed or wore a light covering which gave the feet free play when covered. The most usual foot-gear was the sandal. This really was not intend- ed to cover the foot, but to piace under $t a sole to protect it from gfavel and sharp stones during walks outdoors. The sole was usually made of layers of cowhide. It was bound to the upper part of the foot by sim- ple leather strips. Later, the Greeks tried to see how pretty they could make the strips of leather. They cut them into pat- terns and colored them red, purple, blue or yellow. Sometimes they even made them look like gold by cover- ing them with gilt. 3 When the weather was cold, trav- elers sometimes wore "boots." These, like the sandals, had soles, but in- stead of straps above, there was a solid covering of leather or felt which extended well up above the ankle. Before entering his home, or the house of a friend, a Greek would Stoop and take off his sandals or boots. Both men and women went bare-foot inside the house. Children were 'bare-footed almost all (he time. Here are' two styles of sandals worn by the ancient Greeks, » Chapter 129.--Music Greeks. Music heid a big part in the life of the Greeks. Almost everybody knew something about playing an instrument of one kind or another, The harp was the favorite. A picture is shown of three Greek goddesses. They were called "Muses," and from that name has como our word music. The Muses are playicg some of the common stringed in- struments of olden Greace. Flutes were also widely used. The earliest flute was simply a hollow reed with holes cut in the side. The reeks improved this simple fllute. They made It out of more lasting materials, and often placed two or more together, with a single wooden mouthpiece. Flutes were usually played by hir- ed musicians. It was thought to be a disgrace for members of "the bet- ter class" to play the flute. That was mainly because of the way the cheeks of the player bulged or sank. When boys tin Athens became 13 years of age, they received their first training in music. They learned to play the harp and recite poetry at the same time. They were also taught to sing in chorus. The boys had to behave themselves during practice. Listen to what a Greek writer says about that: "The boys from the same section of the town have to march thinly clad (though the snow be thick as meal) to the house of the harp mas- ter. There he Will teach them a famous tune. If anyone acts silly, he gets a good thrashing." To '"'act silly" while singing was supposed to "drive away the Muses." Among the Here we see the three Muses play- ing on stringed instruments. . A ---- Next -- Wrestling and Discus- Throwing. ma The Late N. T. Greenwood.
