LEMON FOR THE HAIR
THE FINEST RINSE

Next time you wash your hair,
whether bobbed or long. rinse with
The Juice of two California lemons
in an ordinary wash bowl full of
water.
Soap forms a curd which stays on
the hair, no matter how frequently
you rinse it with plain water. The
hair is sticky in comparison, not
really clean, when lemon isn't used.
The curl comes out.
Try it, and then simply feel the
hair. Note, too, its lustrous, fine
appearance. See how the curl stays
in it. One experience and you'll
always use the California lemon
rinse as thousands do, including all
the better Beauty Shops.

" yERY woman who values

- that her feet are. just as

I mean that her feet should be
graceful and gracefully handled,
trinity, comfortably and appropri-
ately shod and expressive Of
the poise that looks out from her
eyes,.
incidentally, woman's eyes are
far more likely to express serene
poise and harmony IL her feet are
comfortably shod. No amount Of
beauty culture can make the face
attractive that is strained to an
agonized, expression by pincl1ed.

;afe to add that no pain is more
wearing on nerves and disposition
than aching feet.
: : Good shoes have most Of all to
do with foot.comfort, although
well-fitted stockings are also inn
portant. Have your feet meas
ured when next you buy shoes.
Then follow the size your meas
urements call for. The foot al
ways looks smaller and more
graceful in shoe that Is long
enough and wide enough to be
comfortable and hold its shape.
See that your stockings are
neither too long nor too short il
you would avoid foot discomfort.
Also be careful to adjust the
seams at the back of the stock
ings correctly. and to keep them
pulled tight enough to avoid
wrinkles.
For walking and street wear,
either moderate Cuban or low
heels are healthful and in good
taste, rather than extreme French
heels, which are likely to turn
on rough paths or pavements,
and which also force the feet,
legs and back out of normal,
healtl1ful alignment.
High heels for dress wear are
correct and becoming but for
walking they aAe unloveIy. be-
cause they make a graceful, ath-
Ietic carriage quite out of the
question.
If your feet are troubled with
corns and 'bunions, a trip to a
chiropodist is wiser than trying
by your own efforts to cure them.
He will give you the advice you
need to make your feet comfor-
table and free from these ugly
defects.
Every day, the feet should be
bathed in warm water then rims
ed in cool water.
Here's a dainty foot powder
which you'n enjoy sprinkling over
your feet after bathing them. Or

to a foot-tub containing two gal
Ions of water.
Powdered alum. one ounce; pow
dered boracic acid, two ounces; tai

to add fragrance.
