A DRIVE FOR WINTER BUSINESS

Atlantic City hotelmen and many other business men
are supporting the suggestion put forth by Judge John
j. White of the Marlborough -Blenhem Hotel that the hotel
who linked in cooperative advertising
ment to agreement aot the bulk of the advers
ing proportion to boost the attractive spot
in which spend the months of November December and
January. In other words, instead of advertising
ensvey for the months of July and August is the
of Judge White that better results could be obtained by
boosting the lean months of the year.
There are probably fewer visitors in Atlantic City in
the months specified by the Judge than in any other months
in the year, and the belief of the sponsor of the plan
and that of other prominent hoelmen that it proper
advertising campaign undertaken and followed up,
with hotel charges which would only the cost of food
stuffs heat labor, light without allowing for overhead
the would attract crowds of visitors at time when
there few here under present rates, etc
Most of the hotelmen agree with Judge White that the
proper advertising campaign would bring about the results
desired although point that additional attractions
would have to be provided such keeping the piers and
other places open, after the regular closing
time in September.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR
FOOTWEAR

Today l am going to tell you
how to choose your footwear and
this will be beauty talk with a
double purpose. First, l want to
discuss footwear for the health and
beauty of the foot itself, and then
to go into means of choosing the
most flattering shoes for your type
of foot.
The chief rule in choosing shoes
is to get them big enough and be
sure that they fit the shape of your
foot. The style for fitting the foot
to the shoe has completely gone
out. This same rule applies to stocR-
ings. Foot troubles can come from
stockings that are too small as
well as from shoes. Also, you
shorten the life of stocking to
half if you do not have it large
enough.
For perfect grooming, comfort,
and economy as well, you should
have a complete shoe wardrobe.
Have your high heels for party
slippers (if you like them), sub
stantial heel for street wear and
flat ones for sports. Do not try to
go directly from your flat heel to
"a high French, but wear the medium
ones at leasan hour or so between.
You should have at least two pairs
of wearable everyday shoes. so that
you can change about. 1t is not
good for your foot to wear the same
shoe continually, also shoes last
longer if they are alternated with
another pair.
If you spend a large part of the
day standing or walking, always
change your shoes when you come
home. This is Immediately restfui
as we'll as beneficial to the feet.
And let me warn you against wear
ing out your old shoes with run
down heels around the house. They
are exceedingly bad for your feet
and poor economy. Uneven heels
throw the whole line of your body
out of proportion.
l do not advise wearing pera
pumps without straps for the
street, as it is too much strain on
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1927-11-08

For a foot that is broad at the ball
or that is distorted by bunions, a
colonial style shoe is the most be-
coming. A long thin foot can wear

length is reduced by straps.
Only the small and naturally
shapely foot should resort to fanc:-
full cut-away effects, light colors
and extreme styles. The combin-
ations of two feathers that are SO
popular this season are wonderful:
for giving style and smartness to
feet that are not naturally petite
nor well-shaped.

the ball of the foot to hold them
on. This is especially true if the
heels are comparatively low.
Now for the wellgroomed foot.
Remember that comfortable foot
is always more beautiful than a
pinched one. However, you can
change the apparent shape of your
foot by the type of shoe you wear.

hands for the food he sees that it is

At first, apparently, it doesn't hurt

The baby has had his bottle and is
ready for bed. This hour of excite
ment robs him of his natural drowsi-
ness after eating, and he howls fear
fully when he is put to bed. He sees
every one eating and, being an imi-
tative little rascal, he wants to eat,
too. He begs for food, and his mother
says: ''He acts starved, poor
darling" This is UNIVERSAL mother
