of these odd-looking shoes for
while, but evidently no one cared
for them, as we never see any OF
them worm However, we fire.
quently receive letters from some
of the younger readers asking if
they should wear them, as they
say they hear the girls of Holly
wood are all wearing this type OF
shoe.
AS far as we know, this fad
has never been taken up by the
screen beauties, as they are too
smart to wear anything that
would give the feet so clumsy and
awkward an appearance. There
are few, however, who do it oc-
casionally just for a change, and
they say the petite Dolores Del
Rio wears them when she goes
out to night clubs, but when we
saw this smart beauty she was
wearing a little pair Of bright
Spanish slippers with extremely
high heels.
The screen beauties do intro
duce number of lovely new fash
ions, mad it is nice to be Informed
as to what they do so we can copy
their styles, but we must always
keep in mind the fact that they
are before the public and can
afford to indulge in fadS of all
kinds. Frequently they pose in
styles that they themselves never
wear.
When we wear shoes without
heels We sacrifice the curve of the
instep that makes the feminine
foot so dainty and smart, as you
know when there are no heels, the
instep has no support.
Shoe specialists warn us to avoid
this type of a shoe unless we in
tend to wear it permanently, and
then we must do it gradually with
specially made shoes and heels
that may be changed gradually
to a flat, and then to a no-heel
style.
The Indians wore this kind Of a
shoe, but then they did a lot OF
things about dress and no-dreSs
that do not fit into our current
modes and costumes. Wear your
moccasins on the beach, if you
like, but stick to heels for other
things and your feet will be more
attractive and comfortable.
The really important thing to
remember about shoes is to keep
them in perfect condition-that is
when you first have the size and
style suitable to your feet. A
large shoe that is a real fit to the
feet is always inconSpicuouS; one
that is much smarter than the
smaller, pinched and uncomfort-
able one that makes one seem aWk-
ward.
Even large feet are smart when
they are well Shod. Make it a
rule to see that your shoes are
in perfect condition before you
put them away. Your maid should
be instructed to put shoes on
trees and to clean them so they
will be ready to wear any time,
and if you attend to this yourself,
just have a set of soft brushes |
and polishing cloths, as well as
the rubber sponge cleaner for
your suede shoes.
Heels should be inspected every |
few days, as even a slight wearing
will detract from the Well-groomed
appearance we should like.
"Dear Donna Grace: The CIR
culatiOn of my blood is very bad,
as have cold feet and red nose.
How can 1 prevent this?
PUZZLED"
Miss Puzzled"-It would be
impossible for me to tell you what
the cause of your poor circulation
might be, or to offer a cure.
Only a physician can do this for
you, but some of the causes of |
poor circulation are lack of eXer
else and fresh air, tight clothing |
and improper diet. You must /
learn to breathe correctly so the
lungs will supply the blood with
clean, fresh air and keep it cir /
culating normally. There is al
ways a poor circulation when we .
do not get sufficient oxygen
through our tissues to take care OF
the waste matter.
We all need some daily exercise
and frequent baths to relieve the
dormant sluggish circulation that
is indicated by the red nose and .
cold feet. Eat less Starches and
more fruit and fresh vegetables.
Then try to go out for an hours
walk every day. Go in the evening
if you have no time during the
day, and wear comfortable cloth
ing.
