Shoe Rationing Is
DISGUISED Blessing

Shoe rationing may turn out TO
be a blessing in disguise, Those
of us who have complained for
years about how tired we were
after a shopping tour downtown,
may discover that it was due to
nothing more than wearing the
wrong size shoes.
Today. statesmen are urging us
to try on size larger than we've
been used to wearing, just to see
If they aren't a mite more COM
Portable. They realize that your
shoe coupon is far too precious To
be wasted on shoes that are too
short or too tight.
As matter of fact. one au-
thoritv believes that most people
should wear a size larger and two
sizes wider than they do. Fit
your foot, not your mind" is the
way a famous Fifth Avenue shoe
craftsman puts it. And try this
test. Insert your forefinger be-
tween your heel and the back of
your shoe. II you can manage to
slip 1t in. then your shoes are
large enough to allow feet 10
expand.
Walking is wonderful exercise.
But it can be just plain torture If
you don't walk correctly, Most OF
your weight should be borne on
the forward part of your foot. And
hit a good brisk stride If you want
to streamline your figure. Stroll
ing will never do anything more
for you than provide bit of fresh
air.
Today shoe stylists are conven-
trating on designing shoes that
combine walking comfort and at
tractive styling. Make certain that
the pair you purchase not only can
be worn with several ensembles,
but really fit. And you'll prob
ably find you're never as tagged
out or short-tempered as in the
good old days" when you could
buy all the uncomfortable shoes
you wanted.

Guard Your Girdle;
II Is Precious

This is advice you've probably
seen or heard before. but II will
stand reiteration these days. It's
about taking care of your girdle.
If yours has rubber in IT, you
know well why it's doubly i'm
portant to take good care of II
and treat II as tenderly as mu-
scum curator does a precious
tapestry.
First, don't be afraid to wash
II. In fact, you should wash II
frequently. The water won't in
lure the rubber but the perspira-
ton acids 1t absorbs will blitz
Il in no time. Wash il in mild
pure suds and give it a thorough
rinsing in several changes OF
water to make sure that every
bit of soap is removed.
The way you dry it spells life
or death for your girdle. Never
dry II over a fire. on a radiator
or any other way involving direct
heat. This simply dries out and
hardens the rubber. Just press
out (don't wringl as much water
as you can and hang the garment
up to dry naturally, This takes
longer, of course. but it's life in
surance for your girdle. You
should. of course. have two, sew
eral are better. so that you can
wear one while the washed one is
drying.
Repair any tears or breaks RS
soon as possible. Little rips will
quickly stretch to big tears If you
don't. If a garter breaks, fix il
also. right away, One garter out
of commission puts an extra
strain on the remaining one and
on that whole side of the girdle
One final tip. Beware OF too
great bargains" in buying a new
foundation garment. 1t may look
bright and shiny on the outside
but there's no way you can be
sure that it isn't very old stock
with tired rubber.
Co to q reliable store or corset
iere, and pay a little more. Times
being what they are, it's better &c
be sure Of getting full value for
your money.

Instead OF Canned Food

When fresh vegetables are avail
