In spite Of the fact that most OF

and have quit weighing themselves
women are still sold on the theory
that youth and beauty are the only
two qualities in the whole repertoire
of feminine charms that appeal tc
men.
Men are to blame for women put
ting this generalization on looks. fol
to hear them talk you would think
that they were such beauty worship
ers that no girl who hadn't won 9

BY all means, include a pedicure
in your routine. Don't cut your toe
nails; file, just as you do your finger

an orange stick and then go to work
with the polish. Toe polish Is more
than just prettifier. It's a prac-
tical reminder to take care Of your
feet. BY the time the polish chips
and looks shabby, your toes will
need another pedicure.
An easy trick in foot care Is to
cream your feet every morning
just as you cream your hands and

shower. Naturally. you won't cream
the soles unless you're trying to col

shower brush your toes hard with

drying. push back the cuticle care

some magic that can keep her a

wise, she concentrates on making
her home more delightful, more a

She improves the technique of her

mind from her physical appearance
so that he never observes that she is
acquiring crows feet and putting on
weight.
Wives are always complaining
that their husbands never notice
how they look. This is Gods mercy

anything but bride. Probably moi
one man in ten thousand ever falls
out Of love with his wife because she
has lost her beauty.
In fact, he would never have dis

There's no doubt about it. spring
may be fine for flowers. but it's GER
tainly hard on feet. With the first
warm weather, feet begin to swell
and you begin to feel that you have
too much foot for your shoes. An
other reason for foot-woes in spring
is that all winter long, while you've
been pampering your face and hands
you've been ignoring your poor feet
like stepchildren.

Another suggestion. which is Just

piece of newspaper into a cone like
shape, light one end with a match
and hold the chicken over the top
of the blaze. There is no danger in
doing this If you have large tin

let the paper touch the curtains or
anything near your work which

No raw fruits or vegetables, no

they acquire that barbecue taste
