HINTS FOR THE BUSY HOUSEWIFE exercise, and put on fresh stockings if you wish to be fresh and cleanly. Choose your Footwear carefully. — Boots and shoes should be chosen with the greatest care, comfort principally being taken into account. Also keep your footwear in good condition and the leather soft by regular cleaning and polishing. A good shoe polish not only helps to keep them water-tight, but also preserves the leather and keeps it pliable and comfortable to wear, so that foot soreness does not arise. Children should be led to regard the cleaning of their own boots and shoes as one of the little household jobs in which it is their pleasure to assist. If thus encouraged, they may even co-operate to the extent of keeping father's boots clean for him. Every little help given in this way goes to lighten the task of the busy mother.

Long-distance walkers find that soaping the soles of socks prior to setting out helps to prevent chafing. Page Thirty-nine
