Comfortable Shoes
Are Important

Think first of how your shoes feel
rather than how they look is one of
the late advices of health specialists.
To permit free action of the feet, shoes
should be loose and flexible. Tight
or short shoes press the toes together
so that the muscles and bones lose
their strength, and the toes become
deformed.
Two rules to remember are: Toe
straight ahead, using the large toe as
lever; never toe out and keep the
weight on the outer border of the
foot.
Exercise often helps foot troubles.
These exercises should be taken in
the bare feet two or three times n
day. First pull the toes in and under
as If picking, up something-repea
thirty or forty times; pick up marbles
or pencils with the toes; walk pigeon
toed; walk slowly on the outer bor-
ders of the feet with toes turned in.

Training the Children in Use of Money

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
A very simple method of starting
children in the use Of their allowances
is that employed by social service
agencies in dealing with foreign or
illiterate families. 1t consists of sew
eral envelopes - preferably stout
manila for durability-one for each
kind of expenditure. Two would be
enough for child at first, one marked
ITO spend and one ITO save for
something NICE"
Many parents give their children
few pennies each week when they are
as young as four or five years old.
When child has learned to make
change, to add or subtract amounts,
and can be sent to the store, he is old
enough to have some money of his
own to handle. The envelope system
is help until he can write his "ac-
counts" down in q book. Then he
should be taught gradually how to
find out what he has spent and what

nate to give height TO the room, not
only in the curtains themselves, but
also through the up-and-down edges
of the books, the straight candlestick,
and even the sections of the radiator
under the second window.
The walls Of the room are of plain
creamy tan paper, so it is suitable to
introduce some color and pattern In
The curtains. Rayon damask was Sc.
lected for the overdraperies, and sheer
marquisette for the glass curtains.
The latter are made with casing for
the rod and one-inch heading Full
ness in the outer curtains is laid In
pinch pleats and attached to the rod
by means of hooks on the under side.
One advantage of making the glass
curtains as long as the other pair,
reaching below the window sill, is that
they do not blow out 50 readily when
the window is open.

) Prints Foretell Coming Of Spring
B

The purplish tones of navy, such as
fleet blue and pilot blue, will be in the
lead. Other tones all the way to the
palest watery tints of aqua blue and
aqua marine will appear as accents
or entire dresses to contrast with dark
coats.
There are two important groups in
silk weaves for spring-the crepes and
the heavy sheers. The French cou-
turiers favor canton faille crepes for
morning and town wear because frocks
of these heavy crepes look well under
coat for early spring, and with
fur piece or scarf later on.
Every wise wardrobe will have at
least one dress of heavy sheer crepe
These luxurious weaves combine the
supple grace of sheer fabric with
the flattering depth Of color which is
generally associated with heavy silk
crepe-andante, triple fiat chiffon, and
crepe canta, triple crepe Of the geor-
gette type, are examples OF this trend
to thick sheer weaves with mat sur
face.
An early spring costume of mono
tone crepe from the showings of a
Paris couturier is here illustrated.
Polka dot crepe edged with little
pleated ruffles lends bright note of
color in the scarf and under blouse,
the entire displaying an entirely new
silhouette. These narrow pleatings
are ever so smart and they are Law
ished on spring frocks.

1t is sometimes Il problem to cur
tain short windows in small living
room successfully, especially If there
are bookcases or radiators under any
of the windows. One fixture or built
in piece more or less determines the
length Of all the curtains in the room.
The problem has been pleasingly met
in this living room photographed by
the bureau of home economics Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. Both glass curtains and side
draperies are carried to the lower edge
of the window casing, but the over
draperies are slightly looped back to
make the effect less severe. The in
ner edge of these draperies is kept as
straight as possible, paralleling the
vertical lines of the window.
AS the ceiling Of the room is low
and the windows short, no valance
should be used with these curtains.

! Hints for Housekeepers

Hot cranberry sauce is good with
waff1es on wintry mornings.
Plenty Of fresh fruits and vegeta-
bles in the diet aids the family's appe-
tite.
Now that the eggs and milk are
relatively cheap, they can be used
economically in the low-cost diet.
A broom placed just outside the
door and used for brushing snow from
the feet saves work for the housewife.
Because only little food value is
lost in the drying process dried fruits
are satisfactory addition to the win
ter diet.
The stout woman should emphasize
vertical lines in her clothes and not
wear colors that will make her con-
spicuous.
To stimulate love Of reading in
the child, see that he has COM

The fairies went to different parts
Of the woods and some went to the
park in the cities, and whispered to
the snow which was falling fast:
"Now you know, old snow, that you
can be very, very cold If you want
to be.
'You know, too, that you can be
really quite warm If you will only fall
where you will be shelter from Mr..
North Wind.
"Mr. North Wind, we know, is never
warm. He is always tearing around
so much himself and blowing and rag
ing so much that he just keeps warm
himself and is too busy to think about
others.
But we will tell you what to do,
old snow.
''Here, in the woods, you fall around
the trees Don't cover up the holes
and hollows where the rabbits can get
shelter, but fall around the hollows
so the rabbits can crawl in and get
nice and warm.
"Then fall in just that way around
the homes of the little squirrels, and
the homes of the birds who have come
too early or of the little sparrows who
have such long winter trying to keep
warm.
"In the cities watch the trees where
the little birds go, and be very care
full, oh, so careful, not to cover up
the holes.
Fall so you will make big atrong
fort where the little animals can creep
inside"

just as the fairies had asked. 1t fell
steadily all day.

What Gandhi Would
Find

If Mahatma Gandhi were to accept
the invitation to visit this country
and study our race problem, he
would find as much dssension and
lack of unity as exists in his own
India, but he would not find any
colored leaders rolling in wealth as
do the Indian princes. He would
find that the colored leaders have
sold out for a mere mess of potage
and would realize that a problem
exists that does not seem to lend
itself to analysis and reason. He
would find very little of the relg.
ious luminosity and antagonisms that
have disrupted India, he would find
very few well defined caste systems,
he would find no untouchables but
he would find people laboring in
darkness, exploited from without and
from within virtually slaves in thot
and action. We do not believe that
Gandhi could do very much good.
1t will be well for him to inspire
us with his thrilling battle for the
liberty of India and the darker races
of Asiatic Europe.
