For those who missed the preceding articles
about proper care of the feet, let me explain
that too short shoes and hose push the great
toe back, causing an enlargement OF the second
joint, which, If left unattended. develops into
a painful bunion. Shoes that are too large rub
against the feet, causing callouses and corns.
Therefore, accurately fitted footwear is i'm
portant to comfort and beauty. since no one can
appear beautiful when each painful step etches
a woebegone expression into the face.
Callouses, because they are not painful in
the early stages, mislead one into believing that
they are not harmful, but constant friction
causes them to thicken and then the center Of

with a piece OF silk.
