Nowadays the shy girl is apt to be called

which is always the most dangerous
weapon of the femenine sex. remember

And yet with all this up-to-dateness on

1t is poor economy, says the Chicago
| Times Herald, to confine oneself TO one
pair of shoes. When the feet are kept
constantly incased in the same footgear
| the rubbing on certain bones and joints
| is sure to cause callous places or little
| cornS, than which there is nothing more
| irritating and maddening.
Every morning the feet should be spong-
| ed off with water perfumed slightly with
benzoin. At night, particularly IN warm
| weat Their, they should be bathed with tepid
water and CASTLE soap, If they are tender,
hot water and little ernica will take
| away the feverish. tired ache. Under
| such conditions, the stockings must De

seven grains of boric acid, twenty-six
| grains of salicyclic. acid and one and
| three-fourths ounces of finely powdered
| talcum. Don't wear heelless slippers or
| boots with French heels
Stockings and shoes should be changed
| frequently because of the unusually large
| pores in the soleS of the feet. They are
| the largest in the body and sent out an
| excessive amount of poisonous secretions
| The thick shoes We wear make this con-
dition worse. for the reason that one $
| feet put into a pair of calfskin boots
| are as alright as a compartment in a
battleship. If you would have pretty
feet and perfect ones do not hesitate TO
change hosiery every day and shoes as
often as convenient.
Cold feet tell story of bad circulation
and worse nerves. A hot water bag is the
one afflicted with these cold storage ex-
| tremities. Never under any circumstances
| go to sleep with your feet damp or cold
| Either battle them in warm water or rub
with flannel and apply comforting hot
water bag with which to revive the slug
gish circulation.
A splendid cure for soft corns is to
sprinkle powdered prepared chalk on a
bit of absorbent cotton, and place between
the toes so that the joints will not rub to-
gether. For bunions get plaster to wear

Many cruel blows have been struck az
the influence of the chemise, but after
| divers false substitutes have been put
forth and had their day, this chosen I'M
dergarment of our foremothers retilins it's
hold on feminine affections, and woven
| silk chemise bids fair 10 put the silk I'M

silk chemise is as pretty, cool ana grace

as the most delicate silk stocking and

edged about shoulders and armholes with
a line of silken lace, and over the bust

silk, are made on the same lines, and are
durable and comfortable beyond words
I had long. conversation the other day
| with a French-woman who calls herself
| a complexion specials a. says a London
letter in the Chicago Times-Herald, and
| who may be said to be an artist in her
own line of work. Her particular fame has
| resulted from the msl rvelous success with
the women who haze come to her to be
enameled. This is q process that / have
