General Foot Care.

much about this an afraid a lot OF
my readers will tire Of listening. So
here are a few little things as how to
take care Of the feet, without spend

The first rule is. change your shoes
when you come home. Japanese grass
slippers with crossed bands to hold
them on the feet cost so cents and are
worth a fortune in the comfort they
give. satin or crRtOnne mules are
anywhere from 81 to $40, or more;
satin house slippers to match any
gown cost from $3.50 up, and those
at the lower price will outwear a sea-
son and make the foot look neat while
resting it. One pair Of house slippers

If your feet ache, soak them in hot
salt water. If you haven't time for
that. rub a cut lemon over them and
wipe dry. Or spray them with toilet
water or toilet vinegar
After your bath. II your feet trouble
you at all-and this is a wonderful
treatment for an old woman. by the
way,-try a massage. While the feet
are warm from the bath, rub some
cold cream over them and work it all
over the feet and the ankles with the
hands. massaginE it wei into the
skin. Rub between the toes and under
the sole Of the foot. and along those
bones which run from toe TO ankle.
Then wipe off, rub some toilet water
or vinegar over the feet. and dry. This
last seems to do away with any trace
Of oil that might linger on the sur
face Of the skin. and so stain the STICK
