Some one once said: "Treat your
friend as II he might some day
be your enemy" II could give one
tip more valuable than any other to
brides, I would copycat the cynic's
advice and say: Treat your hus-
band as if you were in perpetual
danger o. losing him" If they listen
to me they would save themselves
a lot of grief, and keep out of the
multitude Of heartbroken women
who are searching frantically around
for the husbands they have lost
or mislaid somewhere along the
matrimonial journey, and whom
they suspect some other woman
of having purloined from them

there is no patent nostrum you can
slip into a husbands coffee that
would cure him of having wandering
feet after he once acquired them,
to the thousands upon thousands OF
wives who ask how they can re-
awaken their husbands love and
make themselves glamorous again
in their eyes.
The trouble with wives in dealing
with their husband is that they
lock the stable door after the horse
is stolen, and then it is too late.
They could have kept their husbands
in love with them and eating out
of their hands II they had taken
the trouble to look after them in
the first place, but they didn't.
They loafed on their jobs, and
after their Toms and Dicks and
Harrys have jumped the fence and
wandered into green fields and pas
lures newer, they have no conjure
by which they can lure them back
again into their own corrals.
So I should like to say to the
little bride: Don't be too sure OF
your husbands love. Don't delude
yourself into thinking it is some
thing you can't lose. no matter how
little care you take of 1t. Don't
think that because you are Johns

Proper Care of Feet
Eases Discomfort
From New Shoes

When women think Of foot beauty
they usually think in terms of shoes
that fatter the feet and ankles.
This season the shoe manufacturers
are showing variety of fashions
which should make it possible for
every woman to be becomingly shod
but the shoe experts say it is up to
the customer whether she will be
comfortable as well as fashionable
Shoes that are too short, or too
narrow, they point out, may look
smart for time, but they will hurt
for almost as long as the shoe is
worn. A correct fit is necessary to
foot health and foot comfort. and
even for facial beauty, because there
is nothing that brings an harassed
look to the face so quickly as pair
of aching feet.
Regular foot care will not atone
for improperly fitted shoes, but it
will help relieve the smart or pain
from new shoes or from shoes that
are not good fit. 1t is always a
good plan during your daily bath to
scrub the feet, the toes, and the toe
nails thoroughly with a brush we'll
lathered with soap. Scrub the heels
if friction of shoes has worn the
skin to roughness.
AS part of the care of feet, after
bathing them, push back the cuticle
with a clean towel and clean the
toenailS with an orange stick, just as
you do the fingernails. Change fire.
quently to clean stockings
These instructions are good for
men and children too. Children fire.
quently suffer temporary discomfort
from new shoes because the counter
may be stiff. When that happens,
thorough foot cleanliness will ease
the painful areas and will reduce
the danger of infection in case q
blister is formed.

A lot of you have been calling up
lately with queries on what to wear
when . So here's one general idea
for formal daytime dress.
If your favorite ex-date is getting
married at an ultra" afternoon
wedding you'll have to give her one
last pang of regret by wearing a cut
away coat, striped trousers and high
silk hat or derby. Plain white shirt,
bold wing collar, ascot or four-in-
hand in plain colorS or stripes of
modest designs are also in order
White, gray or fawn-color gloves
match your waistcoat of a washable
material and black patent leather
or calf shoes may be topped by spats.
Accessories include single pearl or
jeweled tie pin, cuff links to match
or of gold or semi precious stones.
Suspenders, dark silk or Isle. hose
complete the accessories. And for
chilly weather a Chesterfield keeps
you from turning family blue.

Monochromatic Scheme

A monochromatic color scheme
lends itself well to a dining room
with dignifed mahogany furniture
The walls and woodwork painted

and chair coverings of old gold
complete the scheme.

or frame them in around the
fireplace SO they will look like
they belonged there. If it is
not possible to set them into the
wall, the area above the mantel
may be set out to the edge Of the
mantel with paneling, and an arch
framed for the opening of the cup
board with sunburst top. The back
might be curved and the front Of
the shelves cut out in correspond
ing curve. If the back and shelves
are painted a color to set OF your
dishes and the frame painted white
with a white mantel, you will &C
ouire q whole side wall treatment
that is very decorative.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
l understand that placing furni-
ture "catty-cornered" is against all
the rules of good decoration, yet l
have room that seems to be noth>
ing else but corners. All the other
places are taken up with doors or
windows. What do you do in case
like this?
D. N.
Answer-All the best rules were
made to be broken, and this one may
be also if you have good reason for
it. Generally speaking we do not
place furniture across the corners
of a room, as it detracts from the
lines and proportions of the space
and pulls the room to the far cor
ners rather than into areas for
use. But you may do lovely things
with corners if you treat them as
corners. A square room is very nice
with corner cupboards and side
chairs in two places. A living room
may group a small sofa or love seat
pushed into a corner and with a
large chair opposite and table
and lamp between it becomes con-
versation corner that is both pleas
ant and useful. Modern design util-
ICES corners intelligently with book
cases, desks and similar wall furni-
ture that decorates as well as serves
a purpose. In your case I should
develop two corners for converse
ton groups and two with wall fur
niture. The semi-circular double
chairs are very nice when used OPP
posite the corner group as the curved
low back does not seem to wall of
the rest of the room.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
We have a small solid wood gate,
painted white, at the end of our
walk. Just outside the gate is an
old carriage lamp set on post.
This distinguishes our house to most
of our friends, but as it is suburb
where numbers skip" we would like
to use some method of Identification
other than numbers, so that
strangers can find us. Can you sug-
gest something that would do?
P. r. D.
Answer-Why not cut your last
name, as it is short one, out of
the solid boards of the gate with
a jigsaw? 1t will show up nicely
by day and at night also will be
evident, as the lamp will light the
white boards and the name will ap-
pear black. Use fat block letters for
this.

my bathroom which formerly was

ter to use an enamel undercoat be-
fore applying the white finish coat
on this. Some enamels will not stick
over enamel witho' t. it. Remove
what is already there with paint
