keep them so. If they are swollen and
aching soaking them nightly in very
warm water or in a hot salt bath scented
with pine needles will prove soothing, but
still better is some sweet, refreshing lotion
such as any chemist can prescribe. This
treatment should be followed by rubbing
with rose pomade, or even with vaseline,
as the massage is soothing to the muscles
and nerves.
Feet need to be treated to plenty of air
and allowed occasional freedom from con-

the April Grandmother, but it is an ex-
ceedingly reStful one, as it instantly sends
the blood away from the feet and allays
that aching sensation which makes the
entire body as well as the mind feel out

drive away an incipient headache or a
nervous attack.

This young girl, too, never has been
permitted to sleep on pillows or to put
cushions under her head when she threw
herself down to rest on her divan. She
is always stretched out perfectly fat
when she lies down and never sleeps on

may sound like Spartan treatment, but,
as a matter of fact, it is nothing of the
sort for the fiat posture of the body is

After that they will probably be able to
indulge for hours in the ordinary round
dances, which, unlike the fancy steps, at
feet the calves of the leg more than they
do the muscles of the feet.
''Shoes of the customary size are not to
be thought of while the feet are being put
into a healthy condition, as corns and
bunions can never be vanquished by pres

ly determine to put her vanity aside and
temporarily wear large, comfortable shoes,
which, however, may be so shapely that
they will look moderately small, especially
if kept in a highly polished condition.
Low cut slippers are out of the question
for feet prone to aches, and pumps are
absolutely taboo, as they not only go far
toward helping to break down the arch of

"Heelless house shoes, of softest kid, are
excellent resting gear for aching feet and
for health walks; the spring heeled
boots are best for all save girls possessing
exceptionally high insteps, which need the
back support of a military heel. Obvi-
ously, such boots should be thick and
broad, for the cold feet caused by thin,
tight shoes will take all the blood out of

g SOCIAL AMENITIES FOR "a
u THE SCHOOL GIRL VI

n I is sometimes said by disappearing
elders that the young people of to-day
3 do not begin to have the manners of
the previous generation; that they lack
repose, graciousness, charm, and ex-
hibit a deplorable Indifference to the
claims of courtesy. While unquestiona-
bly, this is true of some girls, it cannot be
admitted of the majority, and there would
be a delightful state of things if such an
imputation could not truthfully be made
of any of our girls from ono end of the
land to the other.
What might be called the ''frills" of
good manners change somewhat with the
times, there being fashions in these
things as in everything else; but the fun
damental principles which constitute the
backbone of good breeding never change,
and throughout the polite world have been
handed own from generation to genera
ton, forming an unwritten code with
which every girl should be conyersant.
A generation ago the delicate, helpless,
clinging Lydia Languish type was in
vogue, but the twentieth century girl is
quite different Yet because she is ath-
letic, alert and independent it does not fol-
low that she is brusque and given to rid
ing roughshOd over people. This would
be to put her down as a selfish, needless
young person, which is not, generally
speaking, the case.
The girls of to-day acquire a graceful
carriage through their athletic sports quite
as successfully and with more fun than
their mothers had in being taught this ac-
complishment through correct walking
and dancing. Of course there is now and
then the girl whom athletics, particularly
when carried to excess, make clumsy
and boyish in her movements; but she is
the exception, and where she exists she
should be taken in hand by her mother
or teachers and made to practise re-
straint, while also she should be taught
how to manage her body with grace.
The plainest faced girl in the world will
have an attractive air if she carries her.

" TOGETHER the most satisfactory
n separate waists for school wear arr
of soft satin or silk, the exact shade
of the cloth skirt. relieved only by fresh
white collar and cuffs at the throat and
wrists. Stiff linen turned down collars
with cuffs to correspond are sure to look
neat and trim, but often a softer collar OF
embroidered batiste or lawn will be more
becoming. Unfortunately, however, these
soft collars crumple and soil so readily
when worn over a dark color that many
girls have given up wearing them rather
than have the bother of sewing on fresh
sets each day.
If the embroidered lawn collar is so
much more becoming than the stiff linen
it is an excellent plan to have cut out
several collar and cuff bands in buckram
the color of the waist, haste the soft col
lar to this stiff foundation and hook or
fasten with two or three small jewel pins

done both collar and cuffs will remain

HAIR PERFUMING CAPS.

AIR perfuming caps are among the
newest toilet accessories of the
young girl who likes to be quoted as
exceptionally dainty. These caps are in
tended to be worn on the head for an
hour or so during. the day or evening,
but never throughout the night, as they
are apt to overhead the scalp and cause
the hair to fall out. They are shaped
precisely like an old fashioned busting
cap and are made by cutting out huge
circle, double shirring its edges and run
ming narrow elastic band between the
rows of shirrings, so that the cap shall fit
snugly about the hair line. The decora-
tons consist of three inch wide full ruff
tie and two huge rosettes of ribbon The
hair pertaining cap may be made of light
or dark hued messaline, liberty satin, taft
feta or thin cashmere and lined with
white India silk, fine linon or allover
muslin embroidery. Between the lining
and the outside there is placed a heavily
scented layer of cotton batting, which
should be renewed from time to time.

PRACTICAL TALKS BY THE
APRIL GRANDMOTHER

40 ONE girls might have inf
ee nitely more attractive looking
feet if they would take intelli-
gent care of them," said the
April Grandmother as she
watched the pupils of fash
ionable boarding school troop past her
window. ITO be sure, the feet cannot be
reduced in size, but, like the waist, arms
and legs, they can be moulded into lines
of beauty, and every schoolgirl should
devote plenty of time and a generous
share of her allowance to their dressing
if she wishes them to look small and
shapely. In the first place the stockings
should be carefully selected and fit per-
fectly. Hosiery that is too small for the
feet will cause bunions too large to be
endurable and stockings that are too long
will, by forming creases, play havoc with
the nerves and muscles of a pair of ten
der feet.
Unless the feet are well cared for they
become sore and get old long before their
time" The April Grandmother nodded
her head toward limping girl at the
rear of the school procession. "One in
dication of prematurely old condition of
the feet is the inability to use them
freely because they are continually ach-
ing, swollen or dis6gured with excres-
cences. Obviously, the first thing to do
for painful feet is to get them into a
healthy condition and then endeavor to
