  1. Care of the Feet

    Share Share Post
    Care of the feet.
    Long ago people began to wear boots only as soon as they finished school.
    Some people never wore boots only when they went to Mass, and when they come out side the door, they took them off again.
    Some boys at present go barefoot in Summer, but girls do not.
    John Hunt Seafield used to make boots about eight years ago.
    Boots are still repaired in this district.
    There are three shoemakers in this district.
    Clogs are not made in this district, but are sometimes worn especially in wet weather.
