This shouldn't be. Shopping for Christmas can be fun -- if you go about it the right way. Foot doctors -- who get a great | deal of business around this time {of the year -- blame most of the | fatigue suffered by Christmas shop- pers on their feet. The doctors point out that hik- | ing around for five or six miles and that's how much distance you | can cover during a day of Christ- mas buying is hard on your | feet, unless you are wearing the right kind of shoes. | Here are a few simple sug- | gestions, prepared by a leading foot health help to keep you smiling this shop- ping season: For long periods of shopping, wear shoes with medium heels. Make certain that your shoes fit properly and have supple leather uppers and shock - absorbent lea- ther soles. The leather upper, be- ing flexible, will 'give' with your foot at the same time that it pro- vides firm, but not binding support. The leather sole has the a to take the terrific pounding to which feet are subjected during six miles of walking. Check that your shoes fit snug- ly, but not too tightly, at the heel. Shoes that are loose will work a bliser on your heel before you've completed a quarter of your shop- ping. Likewise, if the a is too small and cramps your toes, your feet will be protesting in short or- der. At the Christmas season espec Widow Manages Trucking Business And Rears Family WINNIPEG (CP)--When Fred Johnson died in 1949 he left his widow, Winnifred, with a handful of problems. She had five children to care for, a home to manage and a thriving trucking business with no one at the helm. Mrs. Johnson surmounted them all, and today the 49-year-old Eng- lishwoman operates a trucking business between here and Por- tage La Prairie, 40 miles west She still keeps house for three of her children--David, 19, Joan, 17, and Brian, 10.

It is not. costly and right for either evening or casual wear. Such coats are being made up for $255 in muskrat, $495 in grey lamb and from $345 to $365 | in sheared racoon. What of the imitation fur fabrics which have flooded markets in the last four years? Furriers don't show any fear for their business and say smugly--furs are still a gal"s best friend. Chinese Girl Opens Law Office In B.C. VANCOUVER (CP)--As British Columbia's first Chinese woman lawyer, pretty Margaret Jean Gee, 26, believes it's never too soon to start out on your own. Just three months after she oe came the :irst woman of her race to be admitted to the bar in tho province, Miss Gee is established! 2 a richly-furnished downtown of- ce. | "You have to start sometime," | she says, "so I decided to do it ht now." ost young lawyers spend their first few years with an estab- lished firm, and Miss Gee admits the early going is hard. "I'm certainly not setting the world on fire, but already I have a practice that keeps me busy.' One reason is that she is her own secretary, bookkeper and re ceptionist FEW CHINESE CLIENTS Asked if most of her clients come from her own people, Miss Gee said: "'Strangely enough, most of them so far have been Occidentals. Peo- : ple expect: me to have Chines Y clients, but it doesn't work out tha ry way. How did she decide to become a lawyer? "It was just a process of elim ination. I didn't make up my min until I was at university." In her graduating class she wa one of four girls among a class o 60.
