Of correcting It, II Il Is attended to
in time. Properly fitting shoes not
only keep the feet In correct con-
tours, but will encourage good pos
ture. There can be no doubt OF the
fact that good shoes give q child .
better start In life.
Flat feet. which are quite COM
mon In children, 10 q condition In
which the muscles Of the LEG have
been 80 strained that they no longer
are able TO hold the foot In an up.
right position. The victim usually
toes out and walks with q sti1 gait.
He may complain Of pains In his
feet and legs and possibly backache
also. He won't be able to participate
ct sports to the extent that he
should. He will lack grace and poise.
and this will further handicap his
social development.
The child with weak feet should.
In addition to wearing the hight
shoes, be taught to walk with the
toes straight ahead. Have him ex-
ercise In his bare feet morning and
night. Walking and running on the
toes are good exercises. Another
strengthening exercise Is to have
him walk first on his heels and then
on his toes.
The human foot Is SO delicately
constructed that faulty fitting
shoes or stockings worn during the
first baby years may easily throw 1t
out Of balance or distort toes and
joints. Stockings should be at least
half an inch longer than the foot.
Whenever possible. have the child
60 along to have the shoes fitted.
Shoes should be an inch longer
than the child's stockinged feet,
measured while he Is standing with
his full weight upon them.

Patient Feels Blue

: BY the time the patient goes to

he must continue to take nourish-
nent, there will be gas and disten-
tion from undigested food.
The jaundice lasts from two to
six weeks and gradually fades. II
Il persists longer than six weeks,
there Is probably some other cause.
The more rest the patient gets.
the sooner he will get well. If he
6rags around and tries to keep
moving. the congestion will SUBJ
side less quickly. His mental worry
Is far greater than the condition
justifies~ But II Is hard to convince
him that the discoloration Is not
permanent.
The treatment consists OF an
initial dose Of calomel. One fourth
grain Of calomel every hour till
four or Ave grains are taken, fol-
lowed by a saline laxative will start
him on the road to recovery.
OF course, many persons are as
afraid Of a dose Of calomel as they
are Of snake bite. But that Is far
from juStifiable. Many persons did
become salivated In former years
from taking calomel. That was be-
cause doses Of one half to a tea
spoonful OF calomel were given at
Q time, repeated frequently. and
continued for days.

Broomstick Skirt
Makes a Clean
Fashion Sweep
BY ELEANOR GUM

NEW YORK-It may irritate you
~ to have a saleswonan say that
a garment or hat you are looking
at is amusing. But don't let It,
for the chances are the article may
really be amusing. that being a
quality much In favor, especially
for play clothes. And In play
clothes We spend much Of the day.
Sheer black is all very well In
its place-which Is IN town-but
when 1t comes to country living
it's California. here I come" for
ideas. They know how to cope
with sunshine there and they GER
tainly know how to be luxuriouSly
at ease as to play. Hence the
clothes selected for either occasion
are chosen with IN eye to ease and
to their amusing as well as dec
orative qualities.
Half-and half effects, one color
fore and one aft. or one above and
one below are very well liked this
season. II plain and striped stuffS
are combined, Just to be different,
the stripe makes the skirt gather
ed. like Is not, with the plain color
above the table line. Sometimes 1t
is just the back Of the blouse that's
a contrasting color. Again It's the
whole back.
Broomstick skirts are new
enough to sweep clean. They are
worn with skirts or peasant blouses
and by all ages, though happily
not all sizes.
Blue denim. or unbleached mus
lin. overall suits are fiattering and
strike just the right note In
rustic setting. No need to mention
the fact that skirts. unless very
short and full, are old stun for
country going. Women love Stacks
although II you ask me. I can't
tell you why. It isn't just because
they provide ample pocket room
for makeup. cigarettes and such,
because most dresses are long on
pockets too-the big patch kinds,
often Of contrasting solid or multi
color applique.
There Is no occasion for anyone
who predicted Q big year for peas
ant dresses to back down or, worse
still, eat their words.

Spivy Keeps EN-
Happy With
Comic Songs
By TALBOT LAKE

CPIVY said: My last names LIE
~ Voc. Do you really want to know
it? Few people give damn. My
folks were Russian and was born
in Brooklyn. Geek"
A little green bug had hoped
from the ported Ivy plants that rim
her roof garden, "Spivy's Roof" III
New York City. to her rotund bosom
and then on to our notes. Brushing
it of, she said to the insect:
You dope. you can't read"
Spivy and her roof are unique: 1t
Is nostalgia to those who can wildly
remember the speakeasy era. Both
Manhattanites and out-of- towners
throng to the place to hear her sing
comic songs, or rather to hear her
recite them in an inimitable style to
her own piano accompaniment. She
is perhaps the last Of the Texas
Guinan type OF hostess.
You don't quite believe that Spivy
isn't a flgment Of your imagination
when you first see her. She Is short.
tubby. swathed In tisht-flttine
clothes and looks for all the world
like q gaily animated cocktail saul
sage. II she seems sweet and gay
and full Of pep. she Is 50 with an
effort. for she sleeps days, works
nights and has gotten q cockeyed
metabolism for her pains - low
blood pressure and indigestion.
"In my line you get tolerant and
q new sense Of values. You see q lot
Of very obnoxious people, but you
feel that they came to your place:
they paid for your rent by drinking
your liquor and they took the bother
to come, so you forgive them. You
never see people sober and so you
get the idea that nobody's sober.
Whenever people are called up at
our place, you have to Be cagey
about 1t because you don't know
whether they want to be called
there"
It takes a stout heart and q
strong constitution to 90 into
Spivy's line Of work. It also takes
keen. quick Judgment. While she
talked to US. her majo domo would
softly whisper In her ear. To one
table she sent a note-good Gus
toners were rewarded by free
rounds Of drinks.
Spivy got her training as . singer
In q speakeasy where fuddled Gus
toners tossed coins to her. These
she spent on sheet music, while she
lived on free lunch. It was hard
work, for she had very little voice
and no training. Finally. she got her
break In Joint where the custom
ers were winners from the rnce
track. The flrst night they chucked
her ninety dollars In coins. Now she
has her own place.

skin take on a yellow tinge, even

dangerous. but very distressing. It
usually comes on slowly. with no
fever. but the patient loses all en-

blood pressure low. There Is loss OF
appetite, nausea and often vonlit-

The Importance Of knowing how

overempl1Asized. Placing too great .

remember that the object Is not
matrimony. but mutual enjoyment
of each others society. One should,
at least until the vacation Is over
and one Is back to normal living, see
