Beauty
Sensitive Feet
Need Care
BY DONNA GRACE

The feet, as you may have OBJ
served, may act as barometer Of
our physical condition. They have
a way of expressing symptoms such
as fatigue or the disorders.
There are persons who feel their
aches and what they call rheuma-
tism in their feet. Then the ones
who say they can tell when it is
going to rain just by the way the
feet feel.
All of this shows us the feet are
a sensitive part of the body even
though we expect them to endure a
lot of hard wear.
Affected by Foods
The circulation in the feet is
likely to be sluggish if we indulge
in the wrong food combinations.
Sweets, Starches and highly-sea-
Soned foods are frequently the
cause of the pains we call govt or
rheumatism.
Plenty Of salads and fruits
should make up the greater part
of our diet. Then to insure an
active circulation, the feet must
be kept thoroughly clean and
stimulated with a good rubbing
and exercises that move and
strain every muscle.
Walking or running barefooted
will release the restricted muscles
and really relieve bunionS and
cornS. Rise on the toes and walk.
Then try to walk on the heels and
on the outside and inside edge
of the foot. Fresh air and sun
shine are the best tonic for feet.
A little glycerin rubbed on a
corn every day will bring relief.
Try to exercise the feet as much
as the hands, and you will i'm
prove your health and insure foot
comfort.

Decorative Linens

NAY and informal are the
VI linens designed by Mar
guerita Mergentime, a Cali
fornian who believes in color
full and cheerful decoration.
She has used Belgian and
Church linens and printed
them in the most intriguing
designs that you've seen in
many a day. Some Of the
linens are hand woven, others
are not, but all are colorful,
original and gay. Every piece
is named and one particularly
is clever, called Food for
Thought" It's full of words
and phrases that will not only
provoke thought, but start
conversation rolling along.
Guest towels at Use have such
designs as gardens full of
flowers, men on horses, circus
animals. Bar towels are
equally animated, and cock
tail napkins, appropriately
named and decorated, are only
ST. for six. So you see the
linens aren't expensive-and
they are marvellous for Christ
mas gifts. All have a history
of some sort-and if you pre-
fer designs by someone you
know, there are a few by
Tony Sarg, too.

all blessings.
"MOSt sincerely yours,
MARY BROWN JONES'"
