YOUR FEET

IN WINTER

IN these busy times, with changeable weather an addi- tional factor, our feet are apt to let us down. Often the subject of jest, feet ailments deserve more sympathy than they get.

The range of shoe sizes available being now what it is, there is little excuse for the cause of most complaints-wearing shoes that do not fit and are uncomfortable. But certain troubles are constitutional and require constant attention.

If there is the suspicion of a chilblain paint it with lodino-never if the skin is broken, when boracic ointment should be used and a doctor consulted if it is bad.

Hard patches or callouses on the soles of the feet can be re- moved by rubbing them regularly with a soaped pumice stone. Apply some lanolin to soothe the spot afterwards,

I am not one of those "stodgy In the self-reliant, compotent old things" who can see no good Miss of the present age. Most of them are amusing to talk to, easy going, and not at all the bad mannered hussies many of their critics make them gut to be.

But, speaking from a man's point of view, are they really worth marrying?

We hear quite a lot these days about women's changed place in the schome of things-how she is no longer just a decoration, but" man's equal-and lots of other claims of a similar kind..

It seemed strange, but by, no means unusual theso days, that n girl who was within a month or two of getting married should be so little interested in what was going to be her future career.
