Of Feet
During Hot
Weather
Generous Amount
OF Salt and Oil
Very Helpful.
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

A UGUsT with It's sultry weather
and heat is hard on feet In most
sections OF our country. Hot pave
ments or sands, even the high tenn
perature, cause our feet to swell and
perspire more than usual. During
this month you must try to give your
feet little special attention.
The most important factors in the
care Of the feet are cleanliness and
properly fitting shoes. It Is q good
idea to have your shoes q size larger
and wider II you are to be confined
to city or town during these muggy
days.
Tender feet should be given q cold
salt water treatment after the daily
bath or shower. You might take q
handful Of table salt, rub your feet
vigorously while they are still damp,
then rinse them in cold water. Or
you might just dip them into cold
water in which has been dissolved a
couple Of handfuls Of table salt or
sea salt.
After drying massage them well
with little mineral oil or olive oil.
Leave it on all day CThis means you
must wash your hose wellD
At the end Of . hot day, when your
feet refuse to serve you any longer,
try this refreshing treatment.
Apply generous amount Of min
eral oil or olive oil on your feet
Work 1t into the skin gently for sew
eral minutes and then soak feet in
soapy hot water. As hot as you can
stand 1t. Brush your feet well and
after drying thoroughly, rub them
with . piece of ice wrapped in a
towel. Pat them dry and dust with
half and half mixture Of ordinary
starch and salicylic acid (Which you
may buy at any drug store). This is
particularly good If your feet perspire
1t is cooling and preventative.
1t is good to rest your feet when
you can at q higher level than your
reclining body. Place . thick book
under them when you are lying nat
on your back.

Surely If in the days OF courtship
she kept only one eye open like the

the cut OF his jib and the set OF his
collar was to her liking. She could
have perceived how strong was the
lock on his pocketbook and how long
it took to get it open. She could have
got a fairly accurate line on his dis
position and discovered whether his
society in large doses would be a stim-

would sink her in depression, and that
was only to be endured by the grace

Hilda is IL, overgrown. 80 that she
Is bigger than any girl in the senior
class, while she is still in junior high.
She is pretty and the boys like her.
She loves pretty clothes and wears
those of the older girls, but she won't
have anything to do with the boys,
and insists upon playing with dolls,
hosts of dolls.
But, my goodness, you're growing

Il don't want to grow up. Why
should I give away my dolls? love

play with them than with any Of those
silly boys and girls"
Just let her alone with the dolls and
say no more about them. Help them
to disappear by refusing to replace
any, by neglecting to discover any that
are lost, but be careful not to speak
about them one way or the other.

They do not like to run errands, they
hate to pick up after themselves. They
leave whatever they have been using
right where it fell and go their way
When they need it again they ask
where it Is and blandly look for one
to recover it. Their rooms are a crows
nest, SO are their bureau drawers and
their shelves. Leave them that way.
The only way to teach them the need
for order and care is to let them feel
the inconvenience of disorder and
confusion.
When such . child leaves his be-

right to impound them. When they
have their bedrooms In a mess it is
right to leave them that way and have
them put them in shape for cleaning.
When they delay the family by for
getting to dress. because they wanted
to see the funnies, because they wanted
to play with Rover, either force them
along on time, or leave them home
and go without them. Leaving them
home is the cure. II it can be done
without Furnishing innocent ones.
Always be patient and long suffer-

medicine for their souls. They are in
an unhappy plight, and they cannot
help themselves very much. But keep

do it. 1t covers every one from the
sales girl to the college miss. and each
rates an itemized list Of necessities.
Luckily. too, they are logical lists. and
not the hopeless kinds that are so
often advocated.
ESPECIALLY helpful is the part OF
the book devoted to the cost of
clothes" for it describes limitations in
materials, feathers. furs and jewels
how you can detect them, and what
to avoid. Under IA headings, Mrs.
Byers has listed the essentials Of cor
rect shopping, and they should be a
guide to every wise woman:
/. Never trust to love at first sight
in buying costume.
O. Never buy anything you hadn't
planned to buy.
3. Buy, or plan. major purchases
first and build your wardrobe around
them.
4. Buy things that can be used more
than one season.
S. Never buy anything, however
charming, if you are well stocked with
that type of thing,
s. Buy things that are interchange
able, to make several costumes
7. Stick to one basic color scheme
per season-a dark or neutral color.
8. Avoid imitations-stick to poor
but honest purchases.
9. Buy comparatively expensive ac-
cesSories.
10. Try things together before buy
ing them.
II. Have price in mind before you
60 shopping.
IL. Beware of high styles.
