FEET WELL

By Prunella Stack

THE feet are two of the most hard-working mem- bers of the human body and, as such, they require care and attention. They have two main duties to perform. First, to act as a stable support for the weight of the body. Second, to act as a spring or a lever to propel the body for- ward when walking.

Toilet waters are really "exton- sions" of perfumes. You can get both of the same formulas. But there is this sweet and lovely dif ference. Perfumes cost plenty, Toilet waters are inexpensive. You can slather them on like mad and never have a conscience pang, be- cause they aren't making a big holp in the beauty budget..
