Foot Relief
Obtainedin
Short Time
Ache May Be Eased
by Right Shoes and
Good Exercises.
BY LOIS LEEDS.

SUMMERTIME seems to aggravats
foot troubles. Perhaps this IA
partly due to wearing light sandals
with high heels that do not give ade-
quate support to the feet. Ventilated
footwear is, of course, very hygienic al
this season, but it should be chosen
with care.
The heavy girl should select the
| oxford type Of shoe with cutout effects
and she should not try TO wear high
heels all day. In hot weather the
shoes should be changed often not
only to rest the feet, but to give the
shoes themselves chance to get aired
1t Is more clearly to wear socks in
stead Of wearing only shoes. The
socks should be changed at least once
day. Even in sandals the Soles OF
the feet perspire. When stockings OF
socks are not used, the inSoles of the
shoe should be sponged with an anti
septic solution every day or at least
well busted with foot powder.
Hot, tired feet are one Of beauty's
worst enemies. They sap your vitality
and cause facial wrinkles. You can
not be poised and magnetic when your
feet are crying out for rest. Holly
wood stars understand the Importance
of foot care and each has her own
recipe for keeping her feet healthy and
happy.
People who spend much Of their
time standing or walking should make
it rule to sit with feet elevated for
q certain period every day to equalize
the circulation through feet and legs.
There Is nothing new about thh
beauty hint, but 1t has gained fresh
point recently since miladys feet and
legs have come out in the limelight'
for Summer sports.
Foot comfort and efficiency demand
strong muscles and correct habits OF
standing and walking. Shoes should
be wider in hot weather than in cold
to allow for the natural swelling of the
feet. There should be enough room
for the toes to curl and stretch as you
walk. Five minutes a day spent on
foot exercises are worthwhile tnsur.
ance against common foot troubles
and will also strengthen weak feet
and ankles.
The pedicure becomes as important
as the manicure when the toes are ex.
posed in beach sandals. There is little
difference in procedure between the
two except that the toenails are filed
straight across or nearly so instead Of
being given a pointed or oval shape
like the fingernails. The same nail
varniSh is used on toes and fingers,
but it is put over the entire tcenal
with no half-moon showing. The
same antiseptic measures should be
used when grooming toenails as when
manicuring.
A perfectly formed, well-pedicurec
foot is a thing Of beauty. OF course
corns, callouses and bunions should
not be allowed to deform it. There
are simple home remedies for the two
aforementioned blemishes, but, in addi-
ton to removing them, you should re-
move their cause. Bunions need spe-
cial care. the more severe ones requir-
ing surgical treatment. My leahet,
care of the Feet and Legs" gives
some tips on beauty for these mem
bers. Readers who would like copies
may obtain them by sending me re-
quest in care of this paper, accom-
panied by a stamped (3-cent), 80

BY MARGARET WARNER,

- HOPPING notes for the last Sat-
urday that the larger stores
will be closed have been taken
- from smaller shops that do not
observe this custom. There are quite
a number Of shops that do business
all day Saturday the year around, so
that those who find it more conven-
lent to make purchases on that day
may have the privilege Of doing so.
You will find that these shops often
do not use direct advertising, but de-
pend largely on attractive window dis
plays to attract your attention. They
will put their best frock foremost in
a conspicuous spot for passers-by to
see just how nice a frock really can
be bought for q remarkably small sum
Of money. These frocks have all the
earmarks Of the latest style features,
many of them even being copied from
more expensive models, but Of neces-
sity the material is not of the same
quality and the workmanship not 80
meticulous.
THE frock at the left in the sketch
has lots Of appeal for the girl
with slender purse who wants
double-duty dress, for this is q two
piece model in black novelty crepe
with jacket that fastens in the back
for street and business wear, and a
blouse that is attached to the skirt of
pastel blue, with tiny metallic fiecks
giving a dressy effect with its short
sleeves and ruffie collar. The shirring
and notched vat the front Of the
jacket peplum are interesting details.
Another dress for the limited budget
is a green crepe with ripple sleeves,
elbow length; peplum giving the ef-
feet Of a two-piece frock and an &C.
contemplated skirt with plain panel
back, which is quite new and smart
looking. Another green crepe, also
with short sleeves, has a boat neck
with metal clips at the shoulders and
pointed panels of shirring on the
blouse that break the plainness In a
very pleasant way. making a useful
and practical frock that Is good for
many occasions. It has one Of the
new hared skirts.

husband could have done 50 mucn
better II he had married them.
r AwYERS likewise have their allure,
and there are probably no women
more pulled up with pride than those
who can address their husbands as
Judge" but II q man succeeds as
lawyer he has to be a student, and
that makes him q poor fireside COM
panion. His nose must be buried In
q book instead Of bent over a bridge
table, and he must sit up IN brooding
silence turning over his cases IN his
mind Of an evening instead Of en-
gaging In bright chitchat about the
neighbors and the baby's new teeth.
The wife Of q famous lawyer once
told me that she never spoke to him
first for fear she might break UP some
important train Of thought. That
wouldn't suit the average woman who
likes the sound Of her own voice.
Moreover, q lawyer must have thou
sand secrets and know hundreds Of
perfectly delicious scandals about his
clients that his wife Is just dying to
hear all about that he won't tell her,
and II that isn't aggravating, ask
you.
A s FOR the travelling statesmen and
naval officers, they are Q good
choice Of husbands only for women
who are sports enough to take $3.50
chance on marriage, secure in the
fact that no matter how things turn
out they will be happy half Of the
time, either when their husbands are
ut home or when they are not. And
you might play worse tip than that,
anyway.
Take 1t all in all the best bet in
marriage for o woman is the business
man. He isn't often temperamental.
He isn't spoiled by public adulation,
and so he doesn't expect his wife to
be the queen Of the incense burners.
He knows that in every undertaking
there Is bound to be losses as well as
RkOA1S e1kd AVG 0OCoA1 0CAIla41A HNAACC-
ton In the woman to whom he is
married. He Is satisfied If she strikes
q good general average.
A ND he is used to making bargain
and sticking to 1t, no matter II it
isn't all that he thought 1t would be,
and so he doesn't rush OF to the
divorce courts every time he sees q
platinum blond who looks better than
his wife.
Naturally a mans occupation affects
his point Of view, his tastes and his
habits, and hence his desirability as
o husband. SO woman does well to
consider o mans profession In picking
out q husband.

Rainy days are not good for our

We have to select bright, snappy songs
for the rainy days, bring out the spe-

put our best foot forward all the way

Weather counts.
In the hot days Of Summer take

to try to break up an old habit and

The Old Gardener Says :

Questions have been asked
about the propagation of tiger
lilies without dividing the bulbs.
This Is one of the few lilies that
multiply themselves by means Of
little bulbils which form in the
axis Of the leaves and drop to
the ground as the plants ripen.
Investigation will show many Of
these black bulbils, which are
really seed pods, on established
plants. In a garden where the
tiger lily is growing, new plants
will usually come up in many
places, often where undesired.
They can be moved, but it Is a
simple plan to gather the bulbils
when they are ripe and plant
them an inch deep in rows in
the garden. It is best to put
thin layer of sand under them
If the soil Is heavy. The plants
will reach blooming size in two
or three years.

N THE QUESTIONABLE recently SUBJ
mitted to the students in wom-
ans college as to what line Of
occupation they would like their
prospective husbands to follow, they
voted overwhelmingly in favor Of the
medical profession, with bankers,
brokers and travelling statesmen fol-
lowing after and preachers, once the
goal OF every girls hearts desire,
coming In almost at the end OF the
list.
OF course, in these times Of unem-
ployment when q man with any sort
Of q job that makes living Is the
answer to q maiden's prayer for q
husband, girls cannot afford to be
choosy about the line Of endeavor the
men they marry follow. 1t Is any
port In q storm, and thank God for
. safe anchorage.
1899
NEVERTHELESS q mans occupa-
= ton does have a lot to do with
his desirability as a husband, and 1t
is something that girl does well to
consider before she signs up with him
as a life partner. Take doctors, for
instance, who are the hot favorites
with these college girls. Nobody will
deny that they have special attrac-
ton for the feminine sex. They are,
to begin with, well educated; they are
spotlessly clean; they are trained to
assume q sympathetic attitude, and
they are the only men on earth who
will listen with an appearance Of in
terest when o woman talks about her
self, all Of which makes q hit with
women, and would apparently put
them in the three-star class as hus-
bands.
Yet there are no other wives in
the world who are, as o class. so
universally jealous as doctors wives.
And with as little reason. For to the
average physician o woman Is not q
woman. She is just q case. His
sympathy is sold over the counter.
His interest is purely professional. and
always he sees woman at her worst.
when she Is sick and ugly and I'M
reasonable.
But for all that, his wife can't help
getting green-eyed when she thinks
Of him holding the hands OF ladies in
pink silk and lace negliges, and 80
the doctor is no man for the girl to
marry unless she has searched her
own system and Is certain she has no
symptom Of jealousy about her.
DREACHERS also have always had
= an especial fascination for wom-
en-, and any young clergyman, espe-
cially If he was slim and pale and
dyspeptic looking, could always have
the pick Of the feminine part Of his
congregation. His line was irresistible
because he talked to women about
their souls instead Of their bodies as
other men did, and every woman gets
a morbid Joy out Of Uvisecting her
self.
But the preachers stock isn't quite
so high as it used to be because, for
one thing, the modern girl isn't near
ly SO religious as the maidens Of the
past were, and, for another thing, she
has realized that girl who marries
q clergyman marries the congrega-
ton.
She has to consider how the frumps1
will like her new hat and what the
prudes think Of one-piece bathing
suit with no back to 1t, and that no
