Show for weary feet my old colored cook said a woman recently keeps a pad of her own manufacture always before the kitchen sink it is made of several pieces of old carpet tacked together with strong thread tho whole being made over and renewed quite frequently when I 1 asked her the other day why she kept tho rather un eightcy rug on her neat linoleum covered floor she explained that it was a great rest to her feet to stand off the unyielding floor and when my attention was thus called to it I 1 could see that it must be and the idea was worth handing around 1 I have beard saleswomen and men too complain to one another in the shops of the pain which they suffered from constantly standing on the wooden floors and I 1 presume this condition would bo much relieved if a strip of ropo matting could be stretched for their use new york times |
