THE HEALTH OF BARKING
Chiropody Clinic.
At other times I have spoken of ill-fitting shoes and now I would wish to put
yet another point of view before you.
Father comes home from work and finds his sloppy slippers already by the
fireside He takes off his boots; he puts on his slippers and he stretches his legs
with eased content and gets the impression slippers are a very nice thing and wishes
he could wear them all day. Anyhow, if father does not go so far as this, mother
does.
Now I have nothing whatsoever against father stretching his feet comfortably
in front of the fire in a pair of slippers many sizes too large for him, but I do say
these same slippers would be very bad for him if he wore them all the time.
