These shapely legs belong to a worldfamous tap dancer. Can you guess her name? Now see if you can guess to whom the other legs belong. See page 104 for the right answers.
Right, here's a hard one for you. You'd never recognize her by her feet, but oh, her voice, in those Mother Juice rhymes!
A petite star rests her limbs after a swim in the pool. She sings, is French and has just finished her second picture.
Left, these are the legs of a very young dramatic star who's heard on a thrilling aviation serial that originates in Chicago.

THERE'S BEAUTY AFOOT
By JOYCE ANDERSON
BYRON certainly said a mouthful when he wrote that poem beginning "She walks in beauty!" For, whether that's just what he meant or not, the way a woman walks has so much to do with her beauty. And the way she walks depends upon her feet. That's why the lovely stars of radio and screen take such good care of those famous feet pictured on this page. They know that no woman has ever been glamorous when she looked as though her feet hurt! Yet, with all the importance of healthy feet for beauty, they're the most neglected part of our body; our faces get loving attention with creams and cosmetics, our hands are carefully groomed and manicured, we wouldn't dream of cramming a really uncomfortable hat on our heads — but what do we do for our feet? No wonder it's been estimated that seven out of ten people have some form of foot trouble. Sadly enough, most of those seven are women, too.
So much depends upon our feet — grace of movement; the ability to wear becoming, stylish shoes; an unworried, unlined face. So little is necessary to keep them in the very best condition, for nearly everything you do for foot health produces several beneficial results with one operation. The regime's so simple, just a number of little tricks to be employed while you're dressing, bathing or resting, and things to watch when you're buying your shoes and stockings (yes, stockings can be every bit as important as shoes).
First of all, good fit is essential; a comfortably clad foot really looks better, too. The shoe itself should have a fairly straight inner edge, not curved inward at the joint of the big toe, and should leave enough room so that the tips of your toes never touch the end. Naturally, it should never be tight, either in rest or in motion. Your stockings should be long enough to provide half an inch of material to spare when you stand flat-footed on the floor.
Fortunately, extremely high-heeled shoes are going out of style — but be careful, don't change from high to low heels too suddenly, for your leg muscles will not be accustomed to the shift in weight and balance. When you do buy shoes with high heels, be sure to get well-made ones. They may cost a little more, but it's really economical, since healthy feet actually save wear and tear on your shoes.
