the summer girl physical comfort is more important than beauty culture In the end comfort moans means m ans beauty in hot weather at all events for nothing is so restful and pleasant to look upon as a cheerful cool and comfortable person amidst a crowd of sweltering complaining mortals To be bio ble bl in summer first of all to the condition conditio of your feet The subtle con conn connection n between b tween the th condition n of ones feet and the condition of ones temper has lias Often been b en remarked Take the man or woman oman alive and inflict upon either cither a tight shoe and you rou roumay may be sure that storms will win follow follo As summer approaches the relationship bote these becomes more marked and much of oC the suffering would be lessened in hot weather If the feet were only properly attended to We expect so much of our feet yet we give gie them little or no consideration co sid ration and often dis distort dIstort distort tort them in early earl youth by wearing the wrong kind of shoe so SQ that a per perfect perfect feet foot without blemish of any kind is rarely if ever eer found in these days s A tight stocking is capable of doing U almost as much damage to the foot as asa asa a tight shoe and when putting on the stocking it should be well pulled down at the tho toes in order that the heel may find nd its proper place In buying shoes for wear ear in summer or in fact any tUne time of ot the year it Is well to try them on in the evening as the feet are me usually larger Jarger at night and more sensitive Too large a shoe can work as much harm harmand harmand harmand and discomfort as too small a one and the shoe has caused almost as much harm as the Louis XV Y for the flat t heel destroys thc arch of the instep and causes an immense amount of dis discomfort discomfort discomfort comfort When the feet begin to swell the Instep to hurt and the veins of the thc leg log and foot to become ropy the cause is very ery often found in a broken arch archor L Lor or instep which does not mean that any of f th bones of the feet are actual ly broken but merely that the boot has pressed down the th instep and the th weight of the body is 1 not allowed to te terest rest on the balls of the feet as it should do Several good inventions I have hac been made to raise the Instep One of these is of flexible leather with witha L La a sort of spring under the arch of the foot which is inserted in the shoe This I supports the foot and yet the ity It allows it to give ghe with every every step The best remedy for tired and nerv nervous nervous nervous ous feet in summer time is the one which can seldom be applied rest complete rest r st Next to that massage and the application of a soothing tonic will rest the nerves more than anything else In massaging the foot which of course can only be done by a second I person hold hod the foot firmly with the left hand massage each toe separate separately ly and then massage the foot and leg to the knee with the upward never I with the downward stroke Always I begin with the left foot the one on the I j j 1 I side of the heart as there is always more blood on that side of the body bod I f t a Great relief for swollen feet is gained j by b a bandage b of adhesive plaster about j I I inch wide around the instep p A small mall leather pad is cut of chamois j I leather and laid under the arCh of o each I foot The medicated plaster is then J bound tightly around the foot fo f t two or orI j I three times This should be done after I the massage treatment The cleanliness of the feet cannot be too much insisted upon as health and bodily bod I comfort depend de depend depend I pend so much on this scrupulous s care There are ate various methods of guarding against the excessive perspiration of the feet Sometimes a bath to which a few drops of ammonia or some som toilet vinegar is added will prove pro e sufficient i Massage with one ounce of sweet oil two ounces of alcohol and one table tablespoonful tablespoonful tablespoonful spoonful of ammonia will prove bene beneficial beneficIal in more severe cases or the th fol following folloWing following lowing lotion and powder are excellent Glycerine 2 ounces of iron ir n 6 a ounces essence of bergamot 20 drops Apply Appl to the feet with a small camels hair brush night and morning Lay this lotion lotton on and afterward dust them over with a powder made as fol lows Burnt alum 5 grains salicylic acid 2 23 grams starch 15 grains vio yb let talcum powder 50 grams Salicylic J I acid soap which may be procured of any aily druggist should be used in bathing the feet All AIl callous spots should be scraped down as soon eoon as they appear The best file for this tills purpose is the th Japanese corn file and at the least suggestion s of acom a corn a competent chiropodist should be consulted unless the tho corn can be filed flIed or removed by one of the many home honie remedies The simplest of these Is a rag dipped in turpentine and wrapped Tapped around the corn night and Next to the care of the feet comes the care of the digestion Nothing causes so much discomfort as troubles of ot this kind in

ivill need a larger lar er supply of lo lotions lotions lotions and reams creams to counteract the dis disastrous disastrous disastrous effect of the m de destroying destroying destroying glare than she who is td tO spend her vacation among the shadows of the mountain forests The skin tans and toughens just as leather does with each successive exposure to the sun unless something is done at once to counteract it The sun and wind ind will dry out every particle of oil oU from the surface of the skin and a tanned skin Js Is one that needs nourishment first of all If the girl who spends her days
