stuffed with tissue paper, because in
this way the wrinkles are forced out
and the original shape is preserved.
Wetting tends to spoil the appearance
of shoes and to shorten their period of
service; therefore overshoes should be
worn in bad weather to protect the
shoes. If shoes do get wet. they
should be very slowly and carefully
dried. for heat tends to crack the
leather. 1t is especially important to
restore the shape of wet shoes by
shoe-trees or paper stuffing. Even
with the most careful drying, moisture
tends to rot the threads with which
shoe is sewn. and IAN ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound of cure"
Arctics Afford Protection.
For walking in snow or deep mud,
arctics with rubber soles and water
proof cloth tops afford excellent pro-
lection, as do also rubber boots. When
only a little protection is needed, the
slip-on, or sandal, is comfortable and
economical. for it covers the sole of
the shoe but leaves the heel free All
tyDes of rubber overshoes are now so
expensive that they should be treated
as carefully as the shoes they protect.
They should be kept away from great
heat. and set right side up with care"
to prevent their losing shape. They
should also be washed, or brushed so
that the grit on them may not wear

Clean Canvas Shoes.
White canvas shoes are usually
cleaned with one OF the commercial
preparations for this purpose. If
water is used. no more than necessary

they must be cleaned on shoe-trees or

should be carefully wiped from the
edges of a colored sole; otherwise the
shoe Will have a sovenly appearance.
White suede and buckskin shoes are
cleaned in much the same general way,
but with special cleaners made for the
purpose.
If there is sufficient space. a small
chest for holding shoes may be added
to the furnishings of the bedroom;
