1.-THE reason so many women have cold
feet is because they don't wear their shoes
large enough said an authority on the
subject. ITO be warm the feet must have
free circulation of air. and in close-htting'
perhaps cramped, shoes il is impossible
for them to be in a healthy condition
Boots or slippers Of patent leather, says
the New York Tribune, are not TO be
commended for winter wear They either
''draw' the feet or are too cold and thin.
A rubber worn over patent leather shoe
should invariably be lined. an unlined rub

Women are coming more and more TO
consider a sensible dressing of their feet

comfort. but there is room for improve
ment yet No woman who can help IL
ought to wear shoes not made for her in
dividually. The shape and needs of the
foot should be consulted with even more
care than are those of other members of
the body. A boot was recently made by
fashionable shoemaker for lady who was
quite unaware that her feet were other
wise than normal. Her instep." said the
shoemaker, ''is fiattened all out OF
plumb and all along she has only thought
that her feet were simply not well form
ed. They are not well formed, it is true,
but the deformity has gradually come
about through debility and i'll health, and
not naturally at all. Probably as a child
her feet had the ordinary shape. To rem
edy the defect now apparent we make the
heel higher under the hollow of her foot
than on the back. The trouble would not
be noticed wl.en she was walking. because
the poise Of the shoe would be even; but
you can readily see now how much high
er the heel has had to be made, or, rather.
how the hollow under the instep has to
be thrown further back and changed to
suit her peculiar formation. Corns are
nothing but natures protest, an effort to
protect an injured part, and likewise this
instep falling with gristly formation be-
meath the bottom of the foot, is an effort
at self-protection. We have customers

Commend me to the suburban woman, "
said town sister to the New York Times,
for all sorts of clever suggestions in the
way of time savers l spent day last
week with friend in the Oranges, and
half a dozen of her friends were with
us at luncheon. The talk turned on sub
stitutes for breakfasts and luncheons,
which, on occasions, are rudely interfered
with by the time tables. One woman said
that if she found she must choose be-
tween breakfast and catching the train,
she had cup of clear, hot coffee made
ready for her and into this she broke
an egg before drinking. This was very
satisfying and lasted quite to an early
luncheon. Another found a cup OF hot
milk. eaten with. a bit of toast or a
couple of hygienic biscuits more CRATE

milk should always be eaten with bread
or crackers. Take a sip and don't swal-

in your mouth. In this way the quick
solidifying of the milk on reaching the
stomach is prevented, and digestion made
