y. The Fashionable Norfolk Suit shg

NORFOLK styles will be worn
throughout the autumn and winter.
In fact the Norfolk coat makes an i'm
portant wardrobe item AS II is gen.
orally becoming. II is sure to find
welcome. and the coat with yoke and
the coat without a yoke are equally
correct In the illustration are shown
two costumes. Both give the slender
silhouette and the straight lines that
remain essential to fashion. but both
skirts are wide enough for comfort.
They are made with the overlapped
edges. that are the smartest OF all
things.
The suit to the left is made of chew
lot In tobacco brown. for browns are TO
be much worn throughout the coming
season. The skirt consists OF just
three pieces. and the front portions
are finished and overlapped TO suggest
the flap OF an envelope. but the back is
plain. The coat is exceedingly smart.
The box plaits are applied over seams

How to Avoid Having COrns

THERE is so much said concerning
the cure OF corns that the ounce
of prevention" is frequently overlook
ed II is only partly true that corns
are caused from badly fitted shoes.
Americans have the best fitting foot
wear in the world and the worst corns.
European peasants have the worst
shoes in the world and hardly any
corns. If an i'll fitting shoe is to be
blamed for everything. what ought the
condition of the French or German
peasant to be who wears a whitfield
out log of a shoe and stuffs straw In

II has been found out that corfls are
due primarily to accumulation OF dead
skin upon the foot setting up
point of contact and irritation, which
finally becomes infiamed. and fire.
quently the Inflammation becomes
chronic. But II need never have start
ed. Dead skin accumulates because the
foot is shut of from air, and there
fore, while more skin is being grown
underneath all the time, there is no
process OF removal from the outside.
This has double effect Not only does
the skin become thick, but also the
dry, scuffy skin does not allow the per-
spiration to pass through, and this be-
ing stopped in its natural channels
adds to the Inflammation that has al
