HOW TO SAVE
MONEY WHEN
SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
HOW TO BUY SHOES
20, 1922. Harland H. Allen.)

Never before have shoes and stock
ings played such an important part in
women's Dress We simply cannot wear
the popular short skirt with stability
shod feet. And it is often problem
how to provide the necessary pairs of
attractive shoes on the same inelastic
budget. 1t means that we must put
more care and deliberation into their
purchase than ever before.
One thing is certain-cheap shoes
are never an economy. You may think
to save money by buying cheaper
pair in the beginning, but two good
pairs of shoes will wear you longer
than four pairs of cheap, badly-shaped
ones.
For ordinary street wear, soles Of
moderate thickness, and soft, flexible
uppers are most satisfactory. Shoes
with thin, delicate uppers and paper
thin soles are not made for rough
usage, and cannot stand heavy street
wear and rainy weather. The present
vogue of the low shoe is a good one,
as the muscles of the ankle are thus
exercised and strengthened, while it is
desirable that the foot be ventilated.
All city shoes should have rubber heels.
Buy well-made shoes of good leather
and good shape, and be sure that they
fit. You can get nearly twice as
much wear, not to say comfort, out of
a properly fitted shoe as one that does
not conform to the shape Of your foot.
This often means only the habit of go
ing to a good shop, for in reliable
store the statesmen are generally more
willing to take the time and trouble to
see that you are fitted accurately.
The person who wishes long service
will not buy novelty shoes and expect
hard wear from them. Such shoes are
made to supply the fancy trade, and
in general are not designed to be as
long wearing as the regular standard
shoe.
1t is always an economy and not an
extravaganza to have more than one
pair Of shoes. BY having two or three
pairs and changing them frequently,
giving each pair a rest, you will find
that each pair will wear more than
twice as long. Any shoe will last long
err if given care. They should be put
away at night clean, with 'trees" in
them to preserve the shape, and should
be repaired the moment the heels be-
gin to run down or the soles wear thin.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1923-02-15
THE COAL RANGE


Winter weather makes friends for
the coal range. SO if the house has
no furnace, or the kitchen is for any
reason unheated, you will want to be
ready to shop intelligently for cook
stove that burns coal.
And a coal stove can be disappoint-
ment in so many different ways, it
should be selected with unusual care.
Too much Importance cannot be
given to the oven. 1t should be thick
walled, to hold heat, and Of ample pro-
portions for ordinary and occasional
needs. You should also see that the
heating fues run all around the oven
so as to heat bottom and sides as we'll
as the top. For myself. I think Their
mometer in the oven door is too useful
to get along without.
OF course the f1re-box must be large
enough to keep lingering fire, and to
heat the stove well without being full
of coal.
The best crate for your new stove
will be one that cuts the bottom from
the fire with a slight turn without dis
turbing the Goals. The increasing use
of anthracite coal in ranges makes the
poker less and less desirable.
There must be a perfect draft, and
perfect draft-control. Study the damp
ers- carefully: If they are well placed,
and you know how to use them to best
advantage, it will economic fdel and
greatly increase the heating efficiency
Of your stove. !,
There should be convenient openings
to clean the various tues-especially
under the oven. For the ashes and SCOT
must be kept from cIogging these pas
sages.
An important item is to see that the
fire draws under the top so as to heat
it all over. A stove top is an expen-
sive table, and that's all it is If not
properly heated.
Many women think that provision
for dumping the ashes right through
the kitchen floor into the basement is
Indispensable 1t does. greatly help to
keep stove and kitchen clean, and can
be arranged on most any make Of stove
by clever mechanic.
A liberal-sized tank for hot water
is a great convenience provided the
heating arrangement is efficient.
If you have had experience with a
good warming oven you will want one
with the new stove-high enough from
the stove so it will not get too hot or
be in the way are good points to look
for here. The warming oven serves
best when it will keep things warm but
doesn't bake them.
