TAKE CARE OF YOUR FEET

YT has often been said that man
is as old as he feels and wom-
IA an as old as she looks. But nc
one can feel young, and certainly nc
one can look young, if they are suf-
fering with sore and tender feet.
Very often sore feet are the result
of incorrect or ill-ftting shoes. Toe
short shoes cause callouses, corns
and ingrowing nails. Too long shoes
cause soft and painful corns on the
tops of the toes, and by bringing the
tread in the wrong place, may seri-
ously injure the instep and arch
Low-heeled shoes which afford in
sufficient support may cause falling
arches, and too high heels frequent
ly give rise to weak and aching
ankles. Rubber-soled shoes caus'
the feet to perspire profusely, anc
bring in their wake whole host o
discomforts.
Feet which seem to be just natural
ly tender from no particular o
ascribable cause will be great

heat, cold and fatigue.
An excellent corn remedy is made
of castor oil and baking powder
mixed together This takes all the
soreness. out of the corn and leaves
it in such a condition that it can
easily be removed.
To alleviate the pain caused by an
ingrowing nail try scraping the nail
at the top quite thin, then cutting q
"V'' in the center. If this does not
remove the pressure and prove ef-
fective in alternating the pain, try
forcing a small wad of absorbent
cotton under the corner of the nail.

grow up and out instead Of down

STRAY BITS OF FASHION GOSSIP OF INTEREST

n n AVE you ever seen anything as

On an terials for evening gowns?
Each day brings some marvelously
lovely fabric to the ever-entranclng
display. There seems to be decld-
ed tendency to use two harmonizing
materials in the same frock, perhaps
because both are so delightful that
one can not be persuaded to give up
either. This theme is often carried
out with the smartest of effects.
MateIasse Crepes Popular.
One of the most charming debu-
tantes of last year appeared at a tea
given for one of this seasons buds
in a gown whose upper portion was
plain, while the rather full skirt was
one of the new matelasse crepes
which showed large circles of bril-
liant coloring on neutral back
ground. The neck followed the
youthful and popular bateau lines,
which continue in high favor, and
with slight variations appear to be

ECONOMY HINTS

SA BLE oilcloth will last longer
if pieces of heavy muslin are
pasted on the wrong side of
the cloth where wear is apt to come,
as on the corners and edges of the
table.
When celery is at a prohibitive
price do without it. For salads you
will find little cabbage cut fine, with
celery seed to season, will take the
place of celery most admirably.

the rag will also absorb the dust.
Don't discard old rubber tubing
from the bathroom shower. A few
inches of this slipped on the kitchen
faucet will prevent nicking and
breaking of dishes. A foot or more
of 1t will help in cleaning the sink,
as the water can be forced from it
against the sides of the sink. Some
times when the drain pipe is clogged
in wash basin, tub or sink, a length
of hose fastened to the faucet and
held firmly in the drain by old cloths
will clear the pipes by forcing a
stream of water directly into the
drain.

wv YHAT is more practical for
WV the youngsters play hours
than this simple slip which
may be worn either over the rompers
or little morning dress, or, in the
event of warm days, may be donned
right over the baby's underbody.
1t Is made with a shallow Dutch
neck and roony kimono sleeves. The
skirt, which is cut on rather narrow
lines, is slashed up the sides to give
width and freedom of motion. 1t
fastens down the back and is finished
with belt.
This extremely practical little gar
ment may be developed in plain or
stained percale, seersucker, cham
bray, bingham or galatea. The
edges are bound with white linen
tape, which not only adds to the at
Effectiveness Of it's appearance, but
obviates the necessity of turning up
hens or bothering about what one
will finish off the neck and sleeves
with. The heavy f1sh-net pockets are

instance, they are often cut lower in
back than in front, and while this is
exceptionally smart when becoming,
it can be a most ugly thing when
worn by the wrong person.
Many gowns are seen which re-

only in the sleeves. A gown of gray

~LOTHING the little boy is OIL
of the hardest problems whic.
the mother of growing chill
dren has to solve. Trousers for hin
are a delight, but not always tn
most becoming thing. There is {
growing vogue for tunic suits
those with the little straight trousers
and a long loose blouse over them
resembling somewhat a smock in its
construction.
The tunic suit sketched calls for
two shades of material, for instance.
a light blue and a dark blue linen
This combination is always good
looking. Stitching and buttons in
the darker blue will suggest a belt
on the lighter shade, while bindings
Of the light blue will set off the dark
of the collar, cuffs and trouser legs
Those straps can be done in the cut
ting, or cuold be suggested by tiny
outlining bands of the dark blue.

Smart New Shade.

more brown in it than taupe usually
has, will be universally becoming,
for there are any number of smart
gowns being developed in this
shade. Chiffon velvet broche adopts

with oil or enamel paint. The latter
is more easily cleaned. True, it is
more expensive to put on, but con-
sidering that it does not wear away
as rapidly as does ordinary paint I'M
der the constant washing necessary
in kitchen, it is as cheap in the end
as oil paint, if good quality of
enamel is chosen and applied care
fully.
1t is a good idea tor fasten glass on
both sides of a swinging door lead
ing from the kitchen into the dining
room, buffers pantry or closets. Each
piece need not be more than a foot
long and five inches wide. 1t will
save the woodwork from soil and the
wear of cleaning.
AS for the floor covering there are
several materials from which to
choose. Some prefer to have bare
wooden floors, but the best thing is
oilcloth or linoleum, and the quality
of either one should be first class if
one desires something that will last
a reasonable length of time and
give service.
1t is not possible for one to get an
ideal arrangement of furniture and
fixtures in a kitchen not planned by
the one to use it, but every effort
should be made so that one does not
cross and recross the kitchen in or
der to do any task.
The best receptacles for holding
materials is glass. Those sold spe-
cially for this purpose are expensive,
but fruit jars and candy jars can
be satisfactorily substituted Label
each one, using black paint and
shellacking over the writing. Or use
paper labels
Care of the Sink.
Too much can not be said about
the care of the kitchen sink. Every
sink should be thoroughly cleansed
after being used. Sand soap or any
cleansing preparations should be
used. After the sink is free from
dirt it should be flushed with boil
ing water. This dissolves the grease
in the pipes and Pushes it out of the
entire system. If this precaution is
taken after every dish-washing there
will be no trouble with clogged pipes.
The sink and drain boards should
always be left dry. This dryness will
war against waterbugs and other bugs
that frequently visit damp places. 1t
is advisable to flush the sink once a
week with hot sal soda or I've solu-
ton.
Do not fail to keep the kitchen
properly ventilated

where the sun streams in, the glare
caused by the white walls is very
trying to the eyes. Either deep
cream or a light tan is very good
color choice. Oil paint is an excel
lent finish for kitchen walls. 1t can
'be cleaned and is durable. Where
the condition of the walls will not
permit of the paint washable paper
is a good substitute.

GIN AND JAZZ ARE

Washington Woman Police Head Scores Evil Surround
 ingS Of Present Day

CHICAGO. Nov. 24.-Gay cabaret life, with it's gin and jazz and the cheap literature that is flooding the country, are making the modern American girl unfit to become a good wife or mother, Mrs. Nina C. Van Wrinkle, chief of the women's divis- department, told Chicago police women in an address while visiting F here.
 Even the boys. who are tradition ally supposed to be a wee bit naugh- tier, are better than the girls now, Mrs. VanWinkle said she had found in her investigations. The boys are getting better all the time, while the girls between the ages of 12 and 20 years. are becom- ing more and more wayward,' she declared.
 "A boy is born to be man, but girl must be taught to be a woman. The more innocent girls are, the easier they fall prey to the so- called easier way"
 Most of the girls turned over to Washington policewomen are from the middle and wealthy classes, Mrs. Van Wrinkle said.
 "'rhe poor families think more of having sgood home than of having a good time dancipg and drinking.
 "The cabaret is doing more than anything else to lower the moral standard of our girls. Jazz has a subtle influence.
 Then, too. many girls want a ca reer in business away from home. The only career in every girls life should be the rearing of a family and the development of 8 real home.
 Instead of being taught to be so cial butterflies. our girls should be taught to be good wives and moth CTS"
