Correct Care
Of the Feet
Important
Treatments Twice
Each Day Should
Prove Helpful
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

The natives of very cold coun-
tries know what they are doing
when they smother their skins with
thick oils as protection against icy
blasts. And from them we, in a
warmer country, can learn a beauty
lesson.
If your feet have good blood cir
culation you have no cold weather
problem. But If your circulation
is poor then you should take q
few precautions to keep your feet
snugly warm both during the day.
time and during your sleeping hours
Because If your feet are habitually
cold all the muscles in your body
grow tense and you grow faigued
and conscious of little aches here
and there.
During the night sleep in woolen
socks or a pair of those pretty cro-
cheted bed slippers. And before
you 60 to bed-at least three times
q week-pamper you feet in this
manner.
Before taking a nice slow tub
bing, rub pure olive oil we'll into
your feet, massaging each toe sep
arately. Leave the oil on while
you soak" in your bath and when
you dry yourself, remove only the
surplus oil with the bath towel
Powder them we'll and slip into
your bed socks.
On alternate mornings (after
night treatmenD massage your feet
we'll, and ankles too. with a quickly
absorbed cream lotion. Any good
hand lotion will serve the purpose
Work 1t we'll into your skin and wipe
off the surplus oil if there is any.
You may think that such a treat
ment will get your hose very greasy
but that is not so. You will be
amazed how the skin on feet will
take in the not too rich lotion
And they will feel warmer during
the day. If you have callouses they
will soon soften and disappear,
making your feet more lovely. and
giving you great comfort when you
walk or dance.
If you top off this daily massage
with a weekly pedicure, following
the same procedure given in my
leaf1et on the home manicure) you
will be assured of more foot COM
fort than you have had for long
time. And 1t is pretty grand to feel
that you are nicely groomed right
down to your smallest toe!

Dorothy Dix Says
No Young Woman Makes Mistake
By Being Chary With Kisses

Now concerning kissing. No sub
ject is of more burning interest to
women than this. For, curiously
enough, kissing has passed from its
original status of spontaneous ex-
preston of affection and become a
moral issue, a payment of debt and
a conjugal duty.
get hundreds of letters from girls
debating whether to kiss, or not to
kiss; whether it is better to be an
unkissed and dateless maiden or to
make their lips free lunch counter
for every Tom, Dick and Harry who
comes along. For it appears that
the modern youth is kissing bug
who collects luxury tax on his at
tentions. No kiss, no movie. no
dance, no nothing is his idea. Kisses
are just taken in the way of trade,
you might say.
No young woman makes mistake
when she is chary Of her kisses and
keeps her lips to herself until after
some man has filed declaration
that his intentions are honorable
and mean marriage. Nor should girls
forget that a kiss is valuable in pro-
portion to its rarity and being hard
to get. Men used to risk their lives
to steal kiss, but you hear of no
fatalities along that line now. Or
maybe gummy lipstick has some
thing to do with it.
When we come to the conjugal
kiss we open up another phase of
this subject: namely, the mania
that wives seem to have for being
kissed by their husbands whether
the said husbands desire to kiss
them or not. Indeed. so insistent
are women on this matter that one
of our leading authorities on domes-
tic peace urges every husband to
kiss his wife every time, even if
he is only going to the corner mail
box to stick in letter.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;: I have a

in my apartment which would like
to utilize as a corner for my own
desk and work. 1t is only feet wide
by 18 long with one standard size
window at the far end. It Is very
dark now with deep brown paper
on the wall. I like the north light
that comes in the window as I do
a great deal of drawing, but would
also like the room to be attractive.
Can you make suggestions for
papering and furnishing that would
make the room useful and COM
Portable as we'll as pleasing,
MRS. D. s. A.
Answer would suggest cream
colored wall paper with a wide
satin stripe. Striped paper is very
smart just now and it will help
to cut the length of the room. Use
gay chintz draperies, set back from
the window frame, with a valance
across the top which merely hides
the frame but does not cover any
of the glass In this way you will
get softened effect at the window
without losing any light. I would
not use glass curtains. Place your
desk in front of the window so the
light rests on your working area
coming in over your left shoulder.
Two comfortable chairs, small
table between them and a bookcase
would seem to me all the necessities.

Scandinavian countries "can build a
