Tpv 0 ' TOU remember, when you
I I were a llttla ftlrl. hearing the
y vary moral tale about the 6hlld
who bad "tea little servants"
to work for her, which, after all, turned 1
: out to be her ten pink little lingers? .
Well," you may basure that you have
two willing, uncomplaliUng and efficient
servants alwaya at our beck and call
your two very'uaful feet. To keep
thfese servants in health, to beautify
them and' to five them proper atten- - .
tlon ahould be the.alm Of every woman
who caret at all for her feeling; or her
appearance, . - '
Few feet are beautiful naturally; shoe
.wearing haa atopped kll that; and if we '
all went back to the barefoot fad, In-
atead of only a few of us, one ahuddera
x't think of thsesthetltv consequences.
But. there la no reasonwhv the feet
which nature haa given ua . ahould not
be .kept as well shaped and smooth of .
akin aa possible, even If no one but our
elves is aware of their attractiveness. -
First of all, never . wear shoes too .
abort - or too tight or with too .high'
beela, "Nothing so effectually rulna a
" foot fit your feet are too long, wear
a short-vamped, laced shoe; If too short ,';
and fat, a long-vamped one buttoned
f laced at the aide. "White shoes make'"
your feet look larger; black, ' smaller. "
It your ankle are stout, wear high-
. clocked stockings. Try. alwaya to have'
colored slippers , at least me , shade '
darker than the gown with which they
re worn. ,
"When the feet are tired and ache and
burn, bathe them In hot salt water (the
sea salt which comes In hags at about 10
cent each Is best). Soak the feet and
dash the water upon them, drying aft
erward with a Turkish towel. Either ...
alum, borax or lemon Juice In the water .
will do almost aa well as the salt
It Is Just when your feet are most
tired in the evening by the way, that
you ehouJd try on new shoes. The feet, .
sure then as large se they ever are go
ing to be (for walking increases their,
adze), and th shoes that fit then will be
comfortable always. "'" ' Y .
It is hardly neoessary to urge strict
cleanliness, I hope. 8UH, a woman I
" know to be refln4 and well educated -eeld
to me the other day, when I praised .
the comfort and wearing qualities ot
. my suede pumps, '.'Oh, 3- never, wear
Sumps; they make your -eet so dirty
lat you hav to wah them every day.'1 .
A remark like that ought to ba rele- .'
gated to the dark age.: . .. -t
Oaliotm pote are moet-oommon Of foot
ills. The best thing to do Is to Jf ub- well
with clean sandpaper. Do not be afraid
of hurting your foot callous skin Is
thick. md you will not reach the true
ektn, which contains the nerves. Sand-,
paper will also remove the hard ridgea
formed over the instep by too tightly ,
laced shoes; and be careful not to let It
occur again when once cured. ' ' ;
Eor a eoft corn, sprinkle powdered ,
alum on lint or some such soft mate J

- ' loosely overnight. If the corn is be- ,
.tween the toes, put the alum on ab
awbent cotton, lightly but firmly wdged
into the afPicted spot. Cotton soaked In -turpentine
la also good. v '
Bunions are usually caused by en ill
fitting shoe., and the cause must be re-
; moved before the cure can be completa

PEOPLE WHO IMPOSE

THB habit of allowing others to

People who Impose are perhaps among
your friends.. You know the person
who uses your telephone as If It were a

to convey a message of Blight impor

'When ready to shampoo the hair, rub well
into the- scalp, and rinse in several clear ,
waters, using a bath spray. Jf you have one. ,
2. Tes, vaseline is very good for In
creasing the growth ot the hair, but
bear in mind the fact that the maasag-,
ing of the acalp counts aa much aa if not
more than the tonic used. Spend one
half hour a day In caring for your hair.
