Those who drive motor much will hnd the

powder will not show at all, but it will do much 10

cold drive. AS soon as you come in rub on the
cream and powder, as it is not we'll to wear them
for long because they tend to block the pores OF
the skin and make the complexion colorlesS and
heavy.
Those who suffer from cold hands should wear
knitted sleeves TO their vests. Woolen gloves are
much more healthy than those of kid lined with
fur for wooden ones are ventilated, while the KID
ones keep all the air from the hands and make
them cold and clammy. 1t is very good plan to

Il is good thing to start the day as warmly
as YOU can, and not to allow yourself to grow
chilled to the bone while you are dressing. Those
who do not take morning cup of coffee will find
il splendid plan to sip a cup of boiling water
while they are dressing. Apart from the warmth
which it gives this glass OF water IS an excellent

internal chills from which delicate people often
suffer in cold weather.
Feet which grow cold In bed are very trouble

Shoe Throwing

In far-back Saxon times, on the occasion OF
wedding, the brides father gave his daughters
shoe to her husband who touched his wife on the
head with it as sign that he claimed authority
over her, and took her future maintenance on HIM
self This custom is the origin of til, prevalent
custom nowadays of throwing old 2hoes after the
departing happy couple
The old-fashioned notion that shoe should bring
luck at a wedding is superstition curious to eX-
plain L: was in the sense OF confirming a sale
or exchange that the Jaws understood the removal
and giving of a shoe sandal When the kins-
man of Boaz consented TO waive his claim upon
the parcel of land which Naomi would sell in
favor of Boaz, he drew off his shoe" for this
was testimony in Israel"
In different sense the removal of shoe marks
the winding up of negotiations among the laws
and ordinances given in the Book of Deuteronomy.
When the Emperor Vladimar proposed marriage
to the daughter of Reginald she refused him with
the words Il will not take off my shoe to the
son of slave"
