How to Rest Tired Feet.

The woman who thinks she would be willing to give half her kingdom for the privilege of kicking off her shoes and letting her feet get a breath of air" may try some of these substitutes with good effect. When the feet are very tired and hot, plunge them into a basin of cold water and keep them there until sen sation of warmth begins, Then dry them, put on fresh stockings and shoes, and you will be ready for any emer- gency. When hot foot baths are taken, do not try to put on shoes immediately after. A warm foot bath. with sea salt dissolved in it, is deliciously refreshing. Paddle in the water until it cools and dry with a rough towel. Sometimes a handful of alcohol will rest tired feet, and it is one of the sure preventives of a cold after getting the feet wet.
