THE CARE OF THE FEET.

EAVY shears are made especially
for the toes, the nails being
) thicker than on the hands. and
therefore likely to blunt the fine blade
} OF the nail scissors. The file for the
nails of the toes is, naturally, coarser
) IMAM that for the fingers. The nails
OF the toes may be polished and beau
) titled as carefully as those on the
hands, and to refined people their care
is quite as important matter.
! A corn knife is also made for the
Feet. If the knife is kept sharp, no
one who uses it will suffer with corns.
) Before the feet are put in water the
superfuous cuticle Is carefully, sliced
off. care being taken that the skin is
mot left too tender from too much cut
ting. After the feet have been bathed
and rubbed off with pumice, stone to
J remove thickened skin piece of pre-
pared kid is put on over the corn, a
!. bit being cut out in the center where
the corn is situated. This corn kid
can be purchased at any drug store.

PATHS Advice
To Sipaers.

Nine. Adelina Patti has been giving
some excellent counsel to a young
American who not long since sought
her advice. Said the great vocalist: "I
don't believe in coddling myself and
making my throat too tender. I kept
my vocal powers at their full by ex-
IRENE care, but you will notice, if you
have been told of my rules of life, that
I've never made myself sensitive to
slight exposure.
"A great deal has been written about
my dread of taking cold, and I have
been Informed of the eccentric means
1 use to avoid it. All that is rubbish,
OF course. I'm careful, as every singer
should be, to avoid sudden and violent
changes; but, on the other hand,
would warn you not to make yourself
too tender and invite cold by the in
experience of slight exposure.
Harden yourself; build up your con-
stitution; don't occupy overheated
rooms at any time; live out of doors
at least for two hours every day and
walk and drive. That's my advice.
Then, don't be afraid to breathe plenty
OF good, fresh air, even il the weather
is cold. The people who go about with
mu1tied threats. overburdened with
Wraps-men singers who turn up the
collars of their coats at the Slightest
breath of air, and women singers who
hide themselves in mass of carriage
rugs and cover their faces with laceS
and woolens when carriage driving
are the ones who first begin to cough.
On the other hand, don't go to ex-
tremes and expose yourself in raw,
damp air, especially at nightfall Be
sensible, and preserve happy medium
between, wise caution and foolish cod
ding.
Where one voice is injured by ex-
posture to cold, 20 are hurt by singing
when the voice is not in good condi-
ton. Even when I've had to lose
6 1000 by missing performance, I
have invariably pocketed the loss for
the greater gain, and my voice has Gut
lasted twice over those who began their
career with me.
Never allow the throat to become
dry. Keep it moist. The lot, dry air
of an overheated room is very bad for
it. parching it and tending to encourage
Inflammation. And when out walking.
or driving it is apt to become dry and
hard, in cold as well as in warm wealth
er. Let me give you piece of adj
vice. It's a little thing. and yet effects
big results: When you are outdoors, al
ways keep bit of candy in your
mouth-not to eat, but to dissolve slow
ly in the mouth, to moisten the palate
and the throat and to keep them
moist"

Sometimes, through accident, the
nail comes off and the new one grows
on rough and distorted. BY rubbing
the new nails surface with the stone,
not emitting the hardened skin that
retards its growth, it will come in
straight and smooth. The judicious
use of nail scissors and file on the new
nail will be also needed to keep it in
as good condition as the other nails.
Nail clippers. instead of scissors, are
made to cut the large nails of the toe,
the idea being that the toe nails are
too heavy for the use of scissors.
Well cared for nails are usually not
thick, and the scissors made for the
feet are generally heavy enough for
the use for which they are meant.

NAL learned that this convention has
been the most successful gathering in
number of years, the exhibits being
vastly superior, both in number and
artistic merit, to any heretofore shown
at convention. Among the promi-
nent features was school in which
the attendants were instructed in all
the latest up-to-date processes also

Detroit Museum of Art, and Prof.
Orlano Taft, the eminent sculptor of
Chicago. The entertainment general
ly was of high order, comprising ex
cursions by trolley and boat, clambake,
theatres, concluding with a magnif-
icent display of fireworks depicting
scenes from the late war.
The convention meets next year at
Milwaukee, where even greater com

present outlook Frostburg will be rep
