Poise And Beauty
Vanity makes us care for our feet during the summer months! We realise that many people look at our feet when we are on the beach or wearing dancing sandals without hose. When autumn comes there is a temptation to grow lax in' foot care but this templation should definitely be squelched, for your very poise depends upon comfortable, well-groomed feet!

To stimulate your desire for foot care, invest in a smart little pedikit which is full of aids you do not find in your manicure kit such as callous remover and pads for applying it, pumice stone for smoothing, mentholated foot cream for easing tension. All are im- portant to foot comfort
and beauty.
Treatment-
We all have a callous or two. which should be removed. Molsten' one of the felt pads in callous re- mover liquid, place it over the callous and fasten securely with' adhesive strip. (I callous is very hard and rough ruk first with pumice stone.) Let pad remain : for ten minutes and then rinse surface with coarse towel to re- move all dead, loose cuticle.
Repeat this for several days un- til callous disappears.
When massaging, concentrate on the ball of the foot for that is where strains and constrictions centre. Use a rich toot cream (the mentholated one has a soothing effect) and grasp the foot at the arch and work down. with firm rubbings towards the big-toe in crab-like movements. Begin at the arch again and work toward sec- ond toe and so on until all muscles of five toes have been massaged.
Then grasp the ball of the foot with both hands and pull in op- posite directions as if you wanted to split the foot in half length- wise. Continue this pulling along the length of the foot to counter- act the pressure of shoes. •
If you keep your feet soothed and massaged and your toe nails bright with polish your morale will be high and your step will be, youthfull, This gay pedikit simplifies your task.
