Origin of High Heeled Shoes.

Mme. Pompadour was a very small woman, but to make herself look tall she built her hair up high auh wore the first pair of high heeled shoes ever made. The high heels that were invented for her have been accused of many crimes to the foot, but physicians now seem agreed that “broken arches” may be produced by any sudden shock, such as jumping from a car. Children who jump the rope a great deal some times have this disease of the foot.
