Help Make
Shopping
A Pleasure
By EIeni

There's one sure way to enjoy
your Christmas shopping. That
is if you will pay attention to a
detail which is very important
but which any number Of people
overlook in their search for just
the right gifts for those on their
Christmas list.
The holiday shopping season
should be one of gayety and
warm thoughts of pleasures to
come. Instead, often it's q Pc
riod of fatigue and period that
is anticipated with dread and
lived through in discomfort.
You can do away with the
nagging headaches. the pains in
the back and the aching feet by
keping few simple recon-
mendations in mind.
l. Wear shoes with medium
heels when shopping.
2 Make certain your shoes Mt
properly and that they have sup
pie leather upperS and flexible,
resilient leather Soles. The
leather uppers will give with the
foot during the walking you'll
do and at the same time will pro-
vide the support needed for a
long period on your feet.
3. Make sure your shoes fit
snugly, but not too tight. If
they're too loose. they'll quickly
rub a blister on your foot. If
too tight, the circulation will be
impeded and you'll feel really
bad off.
