The care III the feet should begin

should be selected. These will give the

You will never make Il smaller BY

The present fashionable shoe Il an

fact that all ease and grace must be lost
In the effort required to keep balanced

cultivate the beauty OF her walk with

made shoes arc an absolute necessity ~
. graceful carriage. They should DO
long and wide enough to accommodate
the foot, with the heels never more than
an inch high and placed directly under
the heel, and not The hollow Of the foot.
There Is no portion Of tho human form
which Il the seat Of more ills than tho
feet; and they can only be avoided by
n strict adherence TO q neatly. fitting.
cOmm0n.sense shoe. which Is neither
too large nor too small.
We NIL accept the old Greek statues
q, the finest models Of the highest types
ot physical beauty. and In not one Of
them do We lind evidence Of the com.
preston Of the feet. Tho toes set well
apart, there II never to be found on
them signs Of corn or callosity. and the
instep rises with graceful. poetic arch.
surniounted By q slender ankle. We
do not lind this classic and elegant con.
formation In one pair Of feet out OF a
thousand In the present day. and Il Is
to be accounted for. first, by tho i'm.
prudence and vanity Of the mother. and
afterwards by the children themselves,
when they are free TO follow the bent Of
their own inclinations.
Corns are produced by pressure O,
friction. and are simply . protective
growth thrown out for the purpose oi
preventing the tissues being injured.
They are sufficiently painful at all
times, but are the most unbearable
when an accumulation Of pus take.
place beneath them. The escape Of
this drop OF pus II prevented BY the
hardened or thickened cuticle, which
must be soaked in warm water, then
removed by . sharp pointed knife.
Avoid the use Of caustic in the treat.

obtained BY the application Of carbolit
acid. Hard corns may be treated q,

and the corn will be removed.
Bunions are such serious and painful
