Beautify Your Ankles

NOW

OW that skirts have be-. come shorter, ankles are

in the limelight more than ever, so it is a wise plan to pay attention to your unkles.

Don't weaken them by running downstairs, by too much walking or by the wrong kind of shocs. You will need to have strong ankles if you are to enjoy the evening of life.

See that your shoes fit the

ankle as well as the foot itself;

morning help to strengthen one

of the most complicated of the

human joints. Stretch the legs
