Beautiful legs are one Of the
greatest attributes to a woman's
beauty and charm. They should be
well-developed, neither too plump
nor too thin, free from superfluous
hair and with skin as smooth and
white as satin. Exercises to main
tain this degree of perfection take
less time than any other part of a
beauty routine. And almost any ex-
ercise benefits them even though 1t
is practised to reduce or fatten
other parts OF the body.
For instance, consider that good
old simple exercise, walking. It's a
muscle developing form
less legs and making over-plump
ones firmer and more shapely.
Walk a mile or two in the fresh air
every day. Don't saunter-step
briskly along and reap the full
benefit from your exercise.
Dancing. whether ballroom. tap
or acrobatic, is excellent for under
developed legs. If yours persist in
remaining scrawny. join a dancing
class. It's good fun as we'll as ex-
cellent exercise.
And now, what about the ap-
pearance of the skin on your legs
If you see rough spots here and
there, perhaps you need a body oil

1S9 KINDS OF SHOES

100 We o1AoAIS
In 1892 there were no less than
1879 trade brands of shoes market
ed through the mystic power or
the title Doctor" That Is, the
makers of the shoes used the title
Doctors as part of the name to
distinguish their shoe from other
makes.
Some of the shoes that exploit
the title of Doctor" are all right.
I'd recommend them for every
body if the manufacturers would
desist from this misleading pro-
motion.
The general run of shoes sold
today far excels the footwear pro-
vided ten or twenty years ago. so
far as the health and hygience fac
tors are concerned. Even women
and girls are getting better break
than their mothers ever had in
shoes. I suppose the increasing
participation of women in all kinds
of healthful open air games, gym
nasium work and the like brings
some sanity in the selection OF
shoes. The woman who plays golf,
tennis, basketball. who likes hik-
ing, bicycling, bowling, skating,
skiing, riding, fencing, archery or
other sports, cannot participate in
such activities with ballroom slip
pers and French heels on.
The prevention and cure of foot
troubles is discussed in a mono
graph on Care of the Feet which
any reader may have if he asks
for it and inclose3 a stamped en-
velope bearing his address.

Plan your wardrobe before
you set out to shop for a coat.
If you're going in for printed
frocks, you'll need a plain

simply tailored, the coat
should follow right along.
Plain dresses, though, can

about. The second is to become
genuinely interested in the other
fellow so that you honestly want
to talk with him, and want to hear
him talk about himself, his inter-
ests and experiences. Third, study
good manners until you carry
them on unconsciously and do not
get in your own way. Finding out
what the other fellow likes and is
interested in Is the best way TO
overcome your own self-consoious-
ness. Get him stirred up to talking
about what he likes and conversa-

I not mean he is bad by any means.
In encouraging good behavior, 1t
is necessary to go deeper than that,
| The good" child is one who is not
, mean, who has the moral courage
| to tell and act the truth, who plays

sympathy and kindness and gener-
osity. Virtues, such as the latter,
cannot be expected of him now as
they should be later. He can be
guided toward them and remind
ed. This is necessary, but he will

At first the kindnesses have to
be fixed through self" That is
with the pre-school child, when
self-importance is developing and
praise counts for so much.

Jimmy take little different view
of matters. He can aid a child, or

mother, not because it makes him
feel noble but because it is the
manly thing to do. or course I
say, Jimmy, but always remem-
