Much has been said pro and con as to
the effect of salt water on the hair. An
authority affirnls that when properly ap-
piled salt water is not only not injurious
but is an excellent tonic. she says: III

Most women will agree that getting
new shoes IS more than a bore. 1t is
often painful. l saw recently a very
amusing picture of a girl, lying on a
couch, her feet slightly raised. She was
described as refusing to attend a mat

stretch out her new shoes. Now, | sup

to matinee for sucn a reason, but many

A few hints in regard to them may re-
lieve these sufferers. The best time to be
fitted is the latter part of the day. The
