Beauty Chats
Treating the Feet.

7 OTIS OF folks think that by scrub
u bing their feet every bath time
and cutting down the nails once in
a while, that they are giving them
the right sort OF care. Yet, the feet
need much more attention than that.
For instance. they should have the
shoes changed often. It's bad enough
to encase the feet by the hour, day
after day, in leather shoes that give
imperfect ventilation: but to keep
them in one pair all the waking hours
and TO wear that pair day after day,
never allowing enough time for the
shoes themselves to air - that is
criminal way TO treat the feet.
It's really money saving TO wear
house sllppers-low pumps. with fair
" low heels and made Of cloth or sa-
tin-and TO change these as soon as
you come home. House slippers cost
less than street shoes. and you will
find your street shoes viii wear twice
as long, as they are taken off and
never worn at home. And your feet
viii benefit
Shoes are expensive. these days and
leather, generally, is not being tanned
as well as it was. ChirOpOdists will tell
you that that is the cause Of much OF
their patients trouble, nowadays-a
trouble that can be avoided by wear
ing low shoes. Of fabric as much as
possible. "Sweaty feet" are common
more common now than
ever-but they are easily cured
Scrub the feet every night in warm
water, with only the mildest soap
coarse soap often causes sweaty feet.
Rinse the fet in a basin OF water to
which q teaspoon Of boric acid powder
has been added. Take a little vaseline
smear over the hands and massage
both feet, working in more vaseline
from time to time. The oils OF the vas
cline overcome the extreme dryness
OF the skin, always present when feet
are sweaty.
Wipe off any vaseline left on the
feet, and, IL you want, spray with cold
water. This should be done before go
ing TO bed.
Now. wear three pairs Of shoes on
many. # not wear two pairs. changing
each day and letting the other pair
air thoroughly on its day Of rest"

OBAN.
OBAN is a Scottish town that exists
" almost entirely for the benefit Of

is a boarding house or a hotel, and
buildings that have escaped this fate
are used as shops where the traveller
is enticed into buying a beautiful plaid

Scotch pebbles which are guaranteed
to be highly ornamental in the parlor

Oban at its best. The water OF the bay
is so shiningly blue that you at once

his fellow citizens.
Winter is the quite time in Oban.
Then there are no enthusiastic
strangers to buy expensive souvenirs
or to hire boats for trips around the

JINGLE WIGGILY LONGEARs. the

taking a walk in the woods, not far
from his hollow stump bungalow one
day, looking for an adventure. when
he heard some one say;

some one. '.And If Uncle Wiggily

himself, softly like and foxy. 4 had
better be careful. Perhaps this may
be the bad old Skeezicks trying to
catch me to get souse off my ears"
So Uncle Wiggily peeked through
the bushes and he saw Sammie and
Susie Littletail the rabbits; Johnnie
and Billie Bushytail, the squirrels;
Lulu, Alice and Jimmie Wibblewpbble,
the ducks, all gathered around a log
in the woods.
On the log were red. blue. green,
yellow and pink pin wheels made OF
paper. and they were fastened on
sticks and Whirled around in the wind
very prettily, indeed.

Indeed 1 am answered the bunny.
at is very nice Of you to want to
help the Red Cross. How did you make
the pin wheels2'
I'VE cut them out Of the coIored pa

First we take q square OF paper and
we crease it 10 the four corners. Then
We cut each crease, but we leave a

Uncle Wiggily looked, and surely

NO, not yeti" answered Sammie,

Wiggily.
So he waited there in the woods
with the animal children for some one
to come along and buy the pin wheels
for the Red Cross. But no one seemed
to come All the other animal men
and women seemed too busy and the
children were feeling very disap-
pointed.
Then some one called:

to carry the pin wheels home when.
all Of a sudden, out from behind a

cried:
"Wouch! Owl Wow I guess I made
