COMFORT FOR THE FEET

Many women, especially those who do not walk very much during the greater part of the year, suffer very much from tender and swollen feet during their holidays. Remember that it is quite impossible to walk far with any ease or comfort in high-heeled shoes or shoes with barricades of tight straps across the insteps, or court shoes.

Be sure to have both shoes and stockings long enough and broad enough, for not only does the pain and and discomfort take all pleasure away, but it lines the face with surprising rapidity as well. If the feet are sore from overmuch walking or dancing wash them first of all with very hot water, then with cold, and rub them well with eau-de-Cologne or methylated spirit, letting the spirit drv on.

Two or three grains of permanganate of potash added to the water or a little peroxide of hydrogen will remove all odor of perspiration. Sponging with a weak solution of ammonia will do the same thing. 'To prevent the heels and toes from blistering, see that there are no hard darns or creases in the stockings, dip a cake of soap ,in water, and rub it over them, letting: the soap dry on. Dust the feet with a powder consisting of equal parts of horacit powder and starch; never use scented powder for either the feet or underarms.— ‘ Everylady’s Journal.’
