Dancer

is on her feet

nine hours a day that is simply routine work for the premiere danseuse of the Ballet Russe. Re- hearsals limbering routines, per- formances-all are taken "on her toes." So quite naturally, she is more concerned about keeping her feet in the pink of condition than any other part of her body. But I must confess the petite darling Icolts meticulous and charming from head to toes!

:

Even on brief vacations there is no rest for her twinkling toes for muscles would soon stiffen and lose their flexibility if she did not go through limbering routines. "There is no excuse for let down fect," she bubbles, "the kind that give a droop to, your carriage and whole personality. A few minutes cach day devoted to the proper care-massage and exercising--. counteracts muscle strain and develops flexibility!"

Foot Grooming

At the age of four Slavenska was preparing for her career. At five she learned routines to strengthen toes, arches and, im- portant muscles at the back of her leg, and ankle. To-day at 23 she is slin, lithe, quick and definite of movement, and hopes nature will keep her young for she has little time for beauty beyond caring for her...two..precious feet!
