To correct these conditions It n
necessary to be even more careful
of the feet In the Summer than the
Winter.
The feet should be bathed once q
day In the Winter. In the Summer
they should have two daily baths,
one in the morning and one in the
evening. The evening bath should
be tepid, and II the feet be tender
a teaspoonful Of borax may be add
ed to q quart Of water. Let the
borax dissolve, then bathe the feet
In the water. II they be unusually
tender, be not satisfied with the
ordinary bath OF the feet. but soak
them. II necessary, add occasion
ally pitcher Of hot water to keep
the bath tepid.
In the morning. II the feet are
less tender and the need of sooth-
ing is less, the bath may be cooler.
1t may even. II the person is young
and vigorous, be cold. But you
must be particularly careful OF
your choice of shoes and stockings
for Winter wear.
A good rule Is to wear shoes Q
size larger than usual and to wear
stockings two sizes larger, for the
Precipitation has q more direct
effect upon the stockings than the
shoes and causes q greater shrink
age.
Never wear patent leather shoes
at any time. They keep out
all the air from the feet. You
will find 1t good plan to wear
white shoes altogether, or else
wear sandals as much as you can
in the Summer. The soles of the
latter protect your feet from damp
ness and the straps hold them on
They enable the feet to spread to
their proper width and to let the
toes lie loose and independent OF
each other. They give the feet the
needed air and light which are so
seldom permitted them.
Excessive perspiration or, rather,
its unpleasant effects can be
checked by sprinkling the feet. es.
pecially between the toes, with
boracic acid powder. The unpleas.
ant effects can also be removed by
adding few drops of ammonia in
the water in which the feet are
bathed.
To remove calloused spots. espe-
cially on the soles Of the feet, rub
them daily with pumice stone.
Be sure to change the stockings
every day and not to wear the
same pair of shoes two days In sue
cession.
Another warning especially ap.
plicable in the Winter is to dry
the feet thoroughly after bathing
them, particularly between the
toes, to prevent soft corns.

lite for It. II - on this theory that
famous chefs operate when they

At holiday time there is more
chance to decorate than at any
other season. We want to be gay.
and the foods should look gay also.
How shall we do It?
First, the arrangement Of the
table 10 important. It should be
symmetrical and balanced and
never have the appearance Of over
loading. The beauty Of the formal
table Is just this symmetry and
restraint, without business, II
there is to be centrepiece have
1t rightly proportioned to the size
of the table, not too large or too
small. II 1t be fruits or some form

Many attractive centreRieces
may be arranged with the AID OF
the trinkets from the tree--sleds,
and chimneys, and tiny tree, or
little elves, ETC., all found on the
favor counter at many stores. One
charming table piece was made
with the aid Of q platter mirror,
with a sled alongside, q small red
house near by. and, Of course,
Santa Claus within call. The
whole was sprinkled with pow
dered mica.
Poinsettia or holly is another
more dignified decoration. The
paper or velvet flowers are not
dear, and against the snowy cloth
make rich effect. A place card
of one flower should be at each
place to correspond with the CEN
trail decoration. The stores which
make q speciality Of Christmas
decorations, such as the paper nov
elites, are well worth visiting, as
they put out new things each sea-
son and will often demonstrate to
the shopper bow to produce certain
effects with their products.

easily corrected. 1t is the artinci-
ally acquired tenderness Of the feet

The Chinese women Of high rank

The steady ache Of tired or tor.

loss OF vitality, and sometimes even

Another reason why the feet that
have been made tender by misuse
produce old age prematurely is
that we all shrink from exercise
when our feet hurt us. Lack Of ex.

Chronic indigestion, paralysis, apo
plexy and fatty degeneration often
are the penalty exacted by nature
for lack Of exercise.
Every reasonable human being
knows that there is no reason, ex-

the feet should not be as free from

children love to use them. BY
pressing in one direction the strip

should be more used by the house
