SHOES DEMAND PROPER CARE

Will Respond to Good Treatment and Are Quick to Resent Neglect or Carelessness. - ‘Not very long ago the average woman felt she was becoming quite gay and extravagant when she indulged in the luxury of buying each season many pairs of shoes. Today she believes- It is economy. Shoes, even the best of them, need rest; and, if they are to last long and always appear at their best, they demand It. ~ And Incidentally there is something very restful to one’s feet in a change of shoes. If you have few shoes or many, he sure to remember that you must treat them with consideration. The shoe which is carelessly kicked off and allowed to lie where It has been kicked will soon retaliate for this treatment by looking its ugliest. All shoes should be wiped off carefully before tbey are put away; and the shoe tree is as essential to the shoe as the coat hanger is to the coat. Each helps to preserve the-original shape. Remember, a shoe tree used is a pair of shoes saved.— Woman’s Home Companion.
