how to use apostrophe in this sentence?

The ant crawled on Mrs.Jonas', the hostess', foot.

how do you write this sentence correctly? like punctuation and stuff

thanks

Update:

why am i getting different answers?

and the way I actually wrote it was

"The ant crawled on Mrs.Jonas's, the hostess's, foot." I don't think that's right though, is it?

Update 2:

and Mrs.Jonas IS the hostess.

and can someone explain WHY the sentence is the way it's supposed to be?

    Is Mrs. Jonas the hostess??? If she is, you only use the apostrophe with Jonas'.

    The ant crawled on Mrs. Jonas', the hostess, foot.
