heroine Of this exploit is Mrs Donnett.
wife Of an English army officer on serv-

Donnett has been spending December and
January with her husband and a party
of friends hunting big game IN the
Chanda jungle of Northern India, in the

reserves Astounding in all kinds OF savage
beasts and other big game. She has kill
ed two tigers, four panthers, four bears,
eight boars and several other wild
beasts, while the rest Of the party killed
nine other tigers and a corresponding
number of less dangerous animals Mrs.
Donnetts second tiger measured 10 feet
inches. IN letter to a friend in wash

ordinary young woman describes the
event and her sensations in a simple but
graphic manner.

PROPER CARE OF THE FEET.

n ONT neglect the care Of the feet.

between feet and complexion. It
is only when the former are in good
condition that a woman looks her best
Don't fail to put on a fresh pair of
stockings daily. a single nights ex-
posure TO the air is sufficient to free
stockings Of moisture.
Don't wear wooden stockings. Cot
ton ones are always preferable, except
for persons who suffer from perspira-
ton.
Don't wear tight, stiff or iIl-htting
shoes or boots. They are the common
cause OF corns, causing pressure OF
friction on the projections Of the bones.
Don't wear rubber overshoes in the
house, Remove them at once. They
interfere with the proper ventilation OF
the feet, as they are alright. If worn
too much. they cause tender feet, dizzi-
ness, and headache.
Don't spend so much time learning the
art Of manicuring that there is no
opportunity to practice pedicuring. Take
q few lessons from an expert chlropo-
dist
Don't attempt to treat a corn without
first bathing the feet in warm water.
Don't use the chiseI when a bit of

Don't cut the nails round. Make
them square. If rounded like finger
nails, there is danger of their growing
in, and nothing is more painful than an
ingrowing nall.
Don't go to bed with cold or damp
feet, if you wish to preserve your health.
From a hygienic point of view, a wet
back should be less Stunned than wet
or cold feet.
Don't stand for any length of time
on snow or ice or the cold ground. Many
diseases may be traced 10 cold sud
denly applied to the feet.
Don't think that a foot Is beautiful
because it is small. 1t must be in pro-

erately high, the toes regular, the heel
non-pTotruding, and the general outline
graceful.
