months"
Accusations Made
The memoranda charged the al
lies had long been attempting TO
extend the war To neutral coun-
tries; that they had intended TO
intervene in the Russo-Finnish war
and use Scandinavian territory as
a base OF operations against Ger
many but that the swift conclusion
of peace In Finland had thwarted
them there.
II said Germany had documen-
tary proof that the allies were
planning to carry out their action
through Nordic territory, even
against the wills Of those coun-
tries.
The memorandum TO Norway
charged that Great Britain had
taken all measures to place itself.

Suggestions
For Care
OF Feet
Daily Exercise Will
Help Strengthen
The Muscles
Star Stsh Photos.
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Many faulty posture habits ar
caused by weak and ailing feet
You see men and women walkin,
along the street as If the weight o.
the world were resting on theiI
shoulders. If your feet are strong
II you wear properly fitted shoes
II you do not allow your heels tc
run down, you should be able to
walk in good posture and you should
not have any footaches.
Now that it is summer. try to
run around barefooted on a lawn
or in the house if you have no lawn.
Do not go without shoes too long
for your feet have grown used to
heels and you may feel a strain IN
the leg muscles. But going bare
foot on the grass or on the beach is
splendid for Strengthening your
feet.
If your feet are in a painful and
weak condition you should exercise
them at home, with the weight of
them. The restoration of weak feet
is apt to take time, so don't expect
results the first week. Keep at the
following exercises and follow the
rules in my free leaf1et, Beauty
Through Foot Health" You should
then be able to correct your foot
trouble.
Exercise l.
Timber your feet: Lie down on
the floor with feet about 18 inches
apart, Extend the heels by pushing
them downward and then turn feet
inward so the toes meet. Bring
them back to the original position,
relax trifle, then repeat the exer-
else. Work up to 20 times a day.
Sit on a chair, stretch legs out
with heels on floor. Pull foot back
from ankle joint as far as you can
with toes gripping under. Relax.
Then bend foot forward with toes
leading and grip floor with toes.
Relax and repeat both movements
five times. Work up to 20 times
day.
Exercise III.
Massage metatarsal arch: Sit
ting on a chair, with left leg ex-
tended from body, loop towel un-
der the metatarsal arch or at ball
of foot. Extend heel, keep knee
straight and pull towel taut. Now
grip your toes over edge of towel
and pull harder with right hand
so the foot Is rotated inward. Re-
peat five times with left foot, then
with right foot. Work up to 20
times day.
Exercise III.
Make feet flexible: Stand with
feet slightly apart. toes pointing |
straight thead. Raise the right |
heel. letting part of the weight |
fall on the ball Of the right foot. |
Then as right heel begins to lower,
raise the left and continue. Both
feet should be moving all the time.
When your movement is co-ordi-
mated, start moving around the
room. adding a slight spring to
the movement. Do this for five
minutes.
Those Of you who stand on your
feet great deal, or use your feet
constantly in the work you do,
should make 1t a habit to sit or
lie as frequently as you can, with
your feet higher than your body.
For instance. sit on a chair with
your feet on desk or table. Or
lie on your bed with your feet
'esting high on the headboard.

the table choice and the side chairs
were ladderbacks.
In contrast to this, actual sales
at the Furniture Mart disclose that
traditional and modern styles are
advancing side by side, with ma
hogany topping the list The trend
is away from the Early Georgian
and Chippendale and the more or
nate period, toward the Hepple-
white, Sheraton and Regency styles
of the late 18th century, with
straight lines and quiet dignity.
There has also been approval of
these styles carried out in the light,
honey tones of bleached mahogany
or the so-called blond woods.
Back to Mrs. Americas bedroom
we find that blue leads as an up
holstery color, while pink, rose and
mulberry are grouped as second
choice, green next, followed by yell
low and gold, with chartreuse at the
end of the list. Drapery colors rated
about the same, with cream, ivory
and white taking the place of green

sales bear out this schedule with
the exception that light, sheer cur
tains in white, cream or ivory top
the list. This, however, is perfectly
reasonable as almost every one Sc
lects these, with draperies addi-
tional in the majority of cases.
One of the outstanding features
of the furniture offered this year
is the great improvement in finish.
The hard sealers which penetrate
deep into the wood, protecting it
from soil, moisture, stain and crack
ing, are found on the better pieces
and are well worth the extra price
asked for them. Bleached woods
with this type of finish will keep
their pale, light color, since it is
actually sealed in, and may be kept |
clean easily, as well as resisting
bumps and scratches because of the |
hardness of the surface.
If you are inclined toward modern
take time to select wisely,
lest you find your choice terribly
out of style in year or so. There
is much ''fashy" furniture being
made on modern lines which de-

Alice Hepplewhite

Was Alice Hepplewhite the first
great woman furniture designer?
There is a chance that she was
just that. She published THE Cabi-
netmaker and Upholsterer's Guide"
two years after the death of her
husband, George Hepplewhite. She
carried on the business under the
name of A. Hepplewhite & Co. Both
of these activities are totally out of
character for an 18th century house
wife. Tney could not have been a
sudden inspiration after her hus-
bands death. They point very
strongly to the fact that she had
been a silent partner in the business
for many years before. In that day
wife, no matter how talented as
a designer, would naturally be
silent partner.
Whether she was the designer who
really created the mahogany shield
back chair We may never know, but
certain it is that she made the
name Hepplewhite famous. With
out the book she published, the
name Hepplewhite would have been
as obscure as a dozen other English
cabinetmakers of the period.

Dorothy Dix Says go
Philandering Husband Certainly
Is Not Worth Grievins About

Dear Miss Dix: have been mar
ried for 20 years and have just dis.
covered that my husband has beer
going with married woman for the
last three years. For economic rea-
sons, and because of my two very
fine boys, intend to keep my home
intact. but what I need is a philoso-
ply that will help me bear this mis-
fortune that has befa,len me and a
code of action that will enable me
to meet the situation with dignity.
Can you make suggestion that will
help me? A WIFE.
Answer-It is pretty hard to find
any philosophy that will salve a
hurt heart. but you might find COM
fort in the thought that losing
philandering husband is no great
misfortune and that he isn't worth
grieving over. Certainly a woman
is foolish to wreck her life bemoan-
ing man who loved her so little
that he wasn't even faithful to her
and VINO had so little loyalty and
sense of responsibility that he re-
neged on the vows that he made at
the altar.
Forget all about the romantic
young love Of your youth and see
him now as paunchy. bald-headed,
middle-aged Romeo who is ridiculous
rather than a devil among the ladies,
and you will find thai you can laugh
at him and be a little sorry for him
instead of weeping over him. And
you will soon be as indifferent to his
affairs as you are to those of any
other man who has wandering foot.
But there is a code of conduct for
the forsaken wife that will do lot
to ease the situation. If you are
going to live with your husband and
accept his support, do it cheerfully,
amiably and put good face upon it.
Don't make your home a scene of |
perpetual strife. Don't keep it flood
ed with your tears. Don't reproach |
him with his affairs Don't act like
a self-abnegating martyr.
You had far better get a divorce |
than to bring up children in home
where the air is always heavy with
tragedy; where the mother is always
dragging the fathers weaknesses out |
before the poor little creatures eyes, !

Picnic Place
Should Not
Be Marred
Remember to Take
Your Manners to
The Country
By ANGELO PATRI.

Good manners ought not to be
left in the city when one goes to
the country for a rest. There are
still some unknowing people who
think that the country is the place
where Everything goes" One need
not dress properly, one need not
observe conventions that are strictly
observed in town, one need not con-
slider anybody or anything in the
country because one is out for a
good time. AS if one could not have
a good time and still be good man.
nered.
Don't park your car on the side
of the road and picnic on somebody's
lawn. He won't like it. He has
| worked hard to make that lawn and
to pay for it. He likes to look at it.
You must haye liked the looks of it
well enough to want to sit on it, so
why shouldn't he?
Clean up thoroughly after you
have had your lunch Gather up
every paper, every can, every paper
cup and plate. If you bury them,
well and good Otherwise, carry
them home to the ashcan. Other
people dislike seeing your garbage
spilled along the highway.
Stay out of pastures, especially
stay out of those that have signs
posted. The farmer means it. His
cattle are in that pasture. They are
valuable. He does not want them
frightened. He does not want them
let out of the fields and onto the
roads. They are likely to be hurt |
and most likely to cause accidents
to motorists on the highway. Cows
and bulls and horses are not ex-
pected on the highway. Don't enter
the pastures and, above all, never let |
down pasture bars.
Don't break off limbs of shrubs
and trees because they hang over
the fences. They belong to the |
people who planted them. Those
people love and cherish their flower
ing shrubs and go to great trouble
and plenty of expense to maintain |
them along the highway. Enjoy
them, and leave them alone for the
next fellow to enjoy too.
Don't go into fenced fields to pick
flowers. Often these fields are hay
fields on which the farmer is de-
pending for his winters hay for the
cattle and horses. When you walk
through it you spoil the hay. That
means loss not only in money but
in precious labor, more precious
time, and most precious product.
Hay is the mainstay of the dairy
farm. Stay out of the fields.
Don't sit in your car honking your
horn at a countryman's home. He
won't like it. Get out of the car
and ring his bell or knock at his
door and make known your errand
with as much courtesy and grace as
you can command. Country people
are keen on formality with strangers
and they respect and expect cour-
tesy and grace.
Just remember that the people In
the country live there because they
love the earth with its growing
plants and lively creatures. They
live there through good days and
bad to enjoy the beauty you see
there, and to create it with their
hardened hands and bent backs.
They make the fields and hedges,
hey preserve the streams and the
lowers and the trees that go to
make the pictures you "Oh" and
All" over. And they know manners
when they see them because they
them daily. You might
ven make them like you In spite
