DANCING FEET
GOOD dancers will take good care of their feet—the tools of their trade. They are essential factors in your salary—drawing power. Treat them kindly, and they will thank you and remain your meal ticket for many years.
A hot foot bath followed by a careful pedicuring it seems unnecessary to recommend, for that is a daily habit with all dancers and other ladies.
If your feet are tired and cry aloud for care, prepare a bath for them of common baking soda and warm water, using two tablespoonfuls of soda to a bowl of warm water. This will reduce the swelling of the feet and ease them greatly. Now rub them with a cut lemon. This freshens them and also makes them white and pretty. Allow the lemon juice to dry on them, then apply cold cream and massage them thoroughly. Now wipe off all surplus cream and dust them with talcum powder. Put on soft house shoes and you will feel like a new person.
Massage with olive oil is splendid for tired swollen feet; soaking them in salt water is also good.
