WOMAN'S PAGE/ MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Strengthening the Feet. hAmonc the common causes of pre- Flmre loss of youthfulness painful eet have a prominent place. When a girl's feet hurt she may try bravely to fonceal the fact, but there will be little %elltale lines of pain on her face which Kay by day are etched deeper. She evelops mitdle-aged habits of physical activity which in time spoil her figure. w_ There are many causes of painful Heet. Of course, shot. tight shoes hurt, . ‘ut this cause may and should be eliminated by common-sense footwear. Weakness of the feet, which may be corrected by suitable exercise, causes discomfort in walking or standing. There are many of my readers, I feel sure, who want to have healthy, effi- cient, comfortable feet, and so I am giving _below a few _exercises for strengthening these much abused mem- NOT PASSED BY CENSOR BY DE WITT MACKENZIE. The Tangled Skein. ¥ The World War gave the fates an bpportunity of exercising to the full their penchant for the eccentric. Take, for example, the queer cases of those world-famous air fighters, Capt. Georges Guynemer, the Frenchman, and Capt. Baron Manfred von Richtho- fen. the German. The three goddesses of destiny had Snterwoven the life threads of these he- yoes until there was a tangled skein. Then suddenly the cords were torn msunder to give one of those unexpected denouements which the fates love so well. ‘These two men probably were the most romantic figures of the bitter war of the air. Each had exacted a terrible toll from the enemy aviation force and young fiyers spoke of them with bated breath, like children whispering of the bogey man. But each of these great birdmen was more than a fighter—he was a cavalier of the air. Young Baron von Richthofen, he of The crimson colored airplane, who com- manded the famous air squadron known as Richthofen’s Circus because of the wvariegated planes, was one of the few Germans for whom the allies had a real ‘gegard during those years of hatred. They looked upon him with near Bffection because of his chivalry. He would fight like a devil against any odds, but he never took advantage of a disabled opponent. It was said that at times he had even ceased attacking an enemy because the latter’s machine gun had become jammed and he was de- fenseless. Guynemer was of the same breed, a gallant gentleman whom all reverenced. It was natural that these two should ‘have sought each other. Daily they maneuvered for a clash of arms. Fre- uently they almost met, but always e Tates intervened to keep them apart. Then on a dreary day late in 1917 Guynemer was shot down on the edge of that hell hole known as the Ypres salient. Word flashed far and wide that Guynemer and Von Richthofen finally had met. Indeed, even to this day many believe' that the baron was the conqueror of the great Guynemer. It was only re- cently that I uncovered the real truth from a German who was an officer in the Kaiser’s air force and was on the spot when Guynemer's plane fluttered to earth like a wounded bird.

Exercise 1—Sit on a chair with feet flat on the floor and parallel, knees bent at right angles. Place a marble beside the left foot, about 6 inches 4o the left of the toes. Now reach over in front of the left foot with the right foot, pick up the marble with the toes and place it in the left hand, which is held outside the left knee. Repeat the exercise, using left toes to pick up the marble on the right side and deposit it | in the right hand. This exercise is es- | pecially good for metatarsalgia, which is sometimes called Morton's toe and is accompanied by painful callouses on the ball of the foot. Exercise 2—Lie on your back on the floor. Raise right leg with knees straight to & vertical position, with foot bent inward somewhat. Exhale. Lower }eg to floor. Inhale. Repeat with other eg. Exercise 3—Lie on your back on the floor. Bending the knees slowly, draw your feet along the floor until they reach the buttocks. During this mov ment the heels are raised and the toes pointed downward. With feet slightly toed in begin straightening the legs again by pushing the heels forward and then extending the toes forward, alternately. This is a heel-and-toe- movement; first the heel is slid along | the floor, then it is raised as the foot | is stretched, with just the toes resting on_the floor. Exercise 4—Stand erect. Walk for- ward, gripping with the toes as the fore part of the foot meets the floor. (Copyright, 1929.) e Stories from 3. Correspondent’s Notebook. across with their freight of death in the early morning. Out of the clouds below him swept a squadron of enemy atrcraft—the bomb- ers. ‘They quickly disappeared from sight, and Guynemer slipped a bit lower. There through the mists he saw a sin- gle German plane which had fallen be- hind the others. The Frenchman raced toward this enemy, and here is where the fates played one of their fantastic tricks. Guynemer didn't know it, but this German bombing plane was piloted by 2 “rabbit”"—that is, an inexperienced youngster who was being taken along with the veterans of the squadron for training. His observer, too, was a “rab- bit.” The “rabbit” pilot had fallen hind his colleagues because he was a “rabbit.” The young observer glanced over his shoulder and saw a French plane tear- ing toward him. He was terrified. He didn’'t know what to do, but, acting on an impulse, he swung his machine gun about and then in a frenzy emptied it at his adversary. Nintey-nine times out of a hundred he would have hit nothing with such hysterical gunning, but the fates di- rected his aim. One of the bullets found Guynemer. TIL On a April day in 1918 Von Rich- thofen in his crimson air-chariot came zooming over the battle line at Fricourt on the tail of an Englishman. The baron was flying only 300 feet up—a dare-devil feat, but he was like that. He provided a huge target for the rifles and machine guns of the British front lines, but he paid no attention to the de. Richthofen was over No-Man's Land, half way between his own line and the British, when a bullet reached him. Richthofen the Dauntless—probably shot down by a mere infantryman from the ground! Iv. Perhaps I am over-imaginative, but as I turned away from Von Richthofen’s funeral I couldn't help thinking of Guynemer, of how these two had sought each other for long gnonths, and of what, & sorry ending the fates. had given to the story—Guynemer shot down by a “rabbit” and Richthofen -laid low by the bullet of a rifieman in the trenches.

The hospitable homemaker likes to have plenty of tables and ash trays about her living room or sunroom, but it one is supplied for each chair the rooms soon become to look very much like a showroom in a store. The house which possesses a cluster of tables like those shown in the ac- companying illustration has the small table problem pretty will solved. ‘When the nest is put together, it does not take up any more space than a small occasional table. but when it is put into service it will hold a pitcher and six glasses, thus providing individ- ual tables for each of six guests, leav- ing one table on whieh to keep the pitcher or a nlate of sandwiches. Aside from the refreshment advan- tage, there is an ash tray attached to each little unit; so that only one table will be required to make each guest happy, as far as smoking is concerned. ‘These tables may be had in any one of three finishes (Chinese red, ebony or green), and any onein search of something decidedly different will be de- lighted with this unusual set.

Finds They Turn Children From Father Wives' Injustice DorothyDix| {Women Who Bring Up Children to Believe That| Mothers Have Monopoly on Parental Love Rob Husbands. to Husbands I OFTEN wonder what women think their husbands think about their children, The attitude of the average mother is that she possesses a monopoly on parental love and that her husband's feeling toward his children is merely the mild affection of a casual acquaintance. The mother considers that she is the one who cherishes the children, who sacrifices for them, who is anxious and worried over them and whose heart would break if she was parted from them. Not cne woman in & thousand ever even suspects that his children may be the very core of her husband’s soul and that his passion of devotion to them surpasses hers. Yet the wife expects the husband to work and support these children for whom she thinks he cares so little. She sees him growing old before his time, foiling to give his sons and daughters advantages of education that he never had himself. She sees him slaving at his job through Summer heat and Winter cold to give his family the vacations he never takes himself. She sees him going shabby that the girls may have pretty frocks and driving the old flivver so that the boys may race around in a sport car. But it doesn't occur to the mother that the reason the father does these things for his children is because he loves them better than he does himself or that the man who spends his life toiling to support his fimily has sacrificed just as much to his children as their mother has. Now this belief that women cherish that they love their children better than their husbands do would matter little except that mothers, perhaps unconsciously and unintentionally, inculcate the idea in their children’s minds and thus rob the father of the gratitude and appreciation and affection from his children that are his due and that are the only reward he can possibly receive for all that he does for lhe‘m. . FROM their very babyhood the mother teaches her children that she is their friend, that she is their protection from the harshness of their father, that she is the one who wants to indulge them in everything and that father is the one who denies. She is the mediator who stands between them and father's wrath, It is mother who wheedles the new skates out of father for Johnny when father has sald that he can’t afford them. It is mother who runs up the bills that make father groan because she says that Mary must have as pretty clothes as the other girls. It is mother who helps Jane to slip out for a joy-ride with young Blank of whom father disapproves. It is mother who is always on the children’s side making them feel that she is the one who loves them and who wants them to be indulged and to be happy, and so they grow up under the ::ll;;rcs!kit? that father cares nothing for them and is utterly indifferent to eir welfare. Worse still, many women hold father as a club over their children’s heads. The children visualize him in their infancy as a figure of terror whose purpose in the family is to beat their small bodies and deal out harsh punishments for childish misdemeanors and they never see him in any kindlier light. Nothing is more common than to hear a woman say to a child: “I'll tell your father about that when he comes home tonight.” Or: “T'll have your father give you a good thrashing for that,” and she never seems to realize what an injustice she is doing both the child and the father. L For she is making the child hate the father and she is defrauding the father of the thing that he most desires in life, the love and confidence of his children. It must be a bitter thing to a man who has worked his fingers to the bones for his family, who has denied himself the gratification of every personal taste and whim to give likewise to them, to realize when they are grown that he has scarcely & speaking acquaintance with his sons and daughters; that they fall silent in his presence and have nothing to say to him; that they never show him the slightest evidence of affection and that they turn to their mother for sympathy and companionship. Yet you can see this tragedy of the family, in which the father is the | outsider, in many households. And all because mother has brought up the children in the belief that she was the only one who loved them. Cifr e ANOTHER {llustration of women's fallacious belief that they alone are capable | of parental affection is shown by their action in divorce cases, when they | part a man from his children with no more compunctions of conscience than they would have in separating him from a pair of old shoes. Many women break up their homes for no good reason. They are tired of matrimony and want to be free or they have lost their love for their husbands and they trump up an excuse to leave him and rush with it to the divorce courts and ask for custody of the children. 1t would kill them to have to give up the children. They couldn't endure the silence of a house in which there was no patter of little feet, no little faces watching against the window pane. They would go mad with longing for the feel of little arms around their necks and little hands clinging to theirs, but they have no hesitation in inflicting this ruthless cruelty upon the children’s father. Yet there are many men who have the paternal passion just as highly developed as any woman has the maternal passion, men who are all fathers just as there are some women who are all mothers. There are even men who are bad husbands who are good fathers and there are millions upon millions of men whose love for their children makes them stand by the bad bargains they have made in matrimony and endure the nagging and the tempers and the petty tyrannies of wives who make their lives a hell on earth for them. Believe me, if women could look into men’s hearts and see how they love their children and crave their children’s love many a one would be more careful not to alienate her children’s affections from their father and many a one would not be guilty of the inhuman cruelty of taking a man’s children away from him and leaving him desolate just because she lost her taste for him.

' FEATUR WORLD FAMOUS BS.7 STORIES THE BOOK AGENT BY ELI PERKIN (The real name of Eli Perkins. n | humorist. was Melville D.

Mr. Watson wants to see you.” “Watson? Watson wants to see me?” repeated the seemingly puzzled book agent. “Oh, I know what he wants. He wants to buy one of my books, but I can’t miss the train to sell it to him." “If that is all he wants,” said Mr. Stevens, driving up to the car window, “I can pay for it and take it back to him.
