Care of Feet Necessary
To Be a Beautiful Girl

Perhaps few women realize what an
important part the proper care Of the
feet play toward improving ones looks.
Yet the feet well cared for means a
whole lot to the girl who is anxious to
appear as beautiful as possible. For
what woman can really look her best If
her feet hurt her?
To use the feet as a beautifler one
must take good care of them. A daily
bath is absolutely essential If the feet
are TO get their proper rest, for perhaps
nothing rests tired feet so much as being
placed every night in either a foot tub
or a basin of hot water in which little
salt or lborax has been added.
Besides resting the feet the daily wash
ing tends to circulate the blood and thus
brings rest and comfort to the whole
body Feet that are chronically cold
show poor circulation, and the woman
who is inclined TO have cold feet at all
times of the year ought to be especially
careful how she treats them. After the
feet are washed they should be thor
oughly dried with a rough towel and a
little talcum powder rubbed on them.
Girls who want to keep their feet in
good condition should be careful about
the style of heels which they wear. Very
high heels should not be selected IL a
girl has to be much on her feet. Better
to choose shoes with lower heels and feel
comfortable and rested while at work
than to wear those with high heels and
thus show on the face that look Of strain
which comes from wearing uncomfprtahle
