FOE MADAM AND MADEMOISELLE By BEATRICE IMOGENS HANSEN

caiie of tub feet. That a pretty foot is one of woman's greatest charms is universally conceded, and the woman who wants to preserve the shape of her pedal extremities must perforce bestow considerable more attention upon them than sho is credited with doing. To keep them trim and shapely, hot baths should be resorted to. A frequent change of shoos is advisable, as it rests the feet and helps keep them in good condition. After a long- tramp bathe them in warm water, afterwards rubbing with bay rum or cologne. But

after all the weekly pedicuring should

not be forgotten. It is Just as im

portant as manicuring. After a hot foot bath all callosities should be treated with pumice tone, and if one

desires to prevent their return, apply a rd.inter of chamois ekin with a hole

in the center. This not only will re

lieve. but cure. Toenails do not need

trimming as often as finger nails. They

should be trimmed square across, kept

at a moderate length, ,and otherwise

treated as those of the fingers.

The feet should re wasnea every

morning. If it were made a dally cus

tom, the beauty of the feet would be

better preserved and there would be fewer corns, blisters, and bunions. Should the feet be prone to dampness.

many feet and therefore women with

tender feet should avoid it. Slippers of

a much thinner leather, called patent kid, can be obtained. This looks quite

as smart and does the feet far les harm.

Just as we disfigure our hands with our gloves far too small for us, so

with our feet with boots and shoes that do not fit, and we injure them by being too tight, too short, too high In the heel. The men and women of classic days realized much better how important it was to leave nature unrestrained, and thus it comes that few modern feet can rival those that the Greek sculptors have left tis. A long foot is the desideratum, but if you put a wide, plump foot into a boot too narrow and long you only thicken the foot. Those who have too long a foot should wear buckles and bows on the Instep, for that diminishes the apparent size. High heels hrlp a very flat foot, and feet look much better in low-cut shoes than in others. Much

ill health is caused in winter and in cold countries by leaving the ankles exposed. If you wear shoes under such circumstances, they should be supplemented by gaiters. We are beginning once more to look kindly on cloth boots. This is all very well if accompanied by sides of stiff leather, which coma to the toe; on cloth it makes the foot look larger, and nothing is so unbecoming for day wear as a white shoe. Thick ankles can be obviated by plenty of embroidery on one side of. the stocking. When you buy new boots try them on at night, whon the foot is larger than in the morning; exercise and use have enlarged them. Those who have to stand realize how the feet get bigger In the process, but they soon recover when you rest at night. We spoil our feet by allowing the thickening of the ekin to remain on them, they should be rubbed down daily with the emery rubber made on purpose. Those who want to take long walks should rub their feet with salt, and a little spirits makes them less tired when taking long excursions. Salt in the water is excellent for washing the feet, but

do not soak them too much. Foot that become hot and damp should be washed in water with a little powder In it, and when dry, use some toilet powder on thorn, and stockings should be frequently changed. "When the nails grow in, it is because they are not as they ought to be square. Consult a chiropodist at once. Half the. corns are due to boots and shoes that do not fit. Constrained t-s baa io cramp damp beneath the knee; get your foot out of the bed on the floor, or rub the leg. These are the best remedies. It is often excruciating pain. Depots and shoes should be kept

on trees, specially when undertaking

long, continuous walks.

Silk Stockings Never use soap in washing silk stockings. F.ran in the

u-ntor i the nroner fluid to use four

tablespoonsf ul to a quart of water

Kir.se in several clear waters, pressing the water out. Dry stockings in the sun. There is one sound rule for the women with, shall wo say, long feet it sounds better than "large" it is to foreswear colored footwear for sober Mack. Indeed, one is not sure .but what our late pusslon for gray and tan, not to Bay white, shoes most trying of all has not drawn attention to Kie feet that might else hav "passed" o to speak, "in a crowd unnoticed." It goes without saying that with smart gowns some of the dainty tan or gray chaussure is very charming, but black patent leather and glace kid run them very hard, and are a thousand times more becoming to the average foot.

A DAINTY NEGLIGEE.

NOTES OF FASHION. Do not buy any new shirt waists if you have more than a dozen unworn, j Put these old ones at the top of the drawer and wear them out or give them away, but don't have them hang on unworn. "The lingerie waists are lovely," sighed the economical woman, "but I'm mighty glad to get back to the tailor made. You never know when you put one of those airy, fairy, lace and embroidery affairs into the wash whether it will come out whole or In inch pieces. They are extravagant, especially for common wear, but they might have been saved from' ruin sometimes by more care in launder

ing. Fine lingerie waists do not require boiling unless they are very solid. If they are allowed to soak in warm water over night they will not need

rubbing on the board. Do not put the waists through the wringers but squeeze them carefully by hand. Rinse

n tbe hlulner water. little starch

should be used if the waists are very fine. Hang in the sun to bleach.

The feather boa and collarettes are timely. The yare exceedingly becoming, giving a softness about the face, and also dressiness to the toilet. They

are to be had in all colors, besides black and white, and this season are

Vcr-v much favored in dark blues and

greens for street wear.

At the afternoon tea they are worn

by the ladies receiving as well as by

tbr.se wearinsr their bats. The boas of

this year are flat as well as round, the ilat ones being shorter than others, and finished with lace, or knots and bows of ribbon. In some bows of ribbon are

caught in with the feathers, and for boas are made of lace

and flowers, combined in Frenchy fash-

Harmonious Draping. In draping a black lace or net gown over a silk lining try pearl or oyster gray for the foundation instead of white and you will be well pleased with the results. The contrast between the two materials is less marked, and a more harmonious effect is obtained than if dead white be used.

VSEFII- HINTS. To wash woolen of silk goods I find that the best way to renovate old silk and wool goods of a fast color Is to wash them with soap bark. This can be bought at most drug stores, and is used almost altogether in cleanIn gestablishments. It takes out all grease and will give body to the goods and restore rusty black to Its original Lolor. Use a tablespoonful to each quart of water. An excellent way is to put two tablespoonful in two quarts of water, then boil down to one quart and add to the water in which the goods are to be washed. Sevitnc System The sewing of many households Is left, like the housecleanlng. for general disturbance of happiness, comfort and health when, if a little system were used, the burden be lighter. For instance, every house needs napkins, table clothes. plPow cases, washrags and towels. The peaceful method is to secure these long before they are actually needed, and do the sewing at odd times. Cut carefully by the thread the 12 napkins, folding each on in clean tissue paper. Then when time lags, sew a napkin ditto table cloth. In like manner tear from the muslin half a dozen pillow cases.

HEALTH AND HEAVTY. The first visit to one's dressmaker this fall will undoubtedly make the 'average woman wish she had not been quite so reckless during the summer months, exposing her complexion to the tanning inlluences of the elements. However, a good healthy coat of tan can have no terrors for the person who Is the fortunate possessor of a good bleach formula, that is. an old, tested and reliable skin bleach. Oat-meal bags are made by filling cantily. bags made of cheese cloth, with oat meal, shavings of a good soap, and a little powdered orris root. Let the bag remain in a basdn of water for a few minutes, then squeeze out and bathe the face in the water. A fresh bag should be used for each bath.

Lemon Juice is also an excellent skin bleach, but as it is a strong astringent it should not be used unless followed by a gentle massage with a cold cream.
