Wv r OMEN who do homework good looking
w generaly-often beautiful This announce
ment is made by famous woman beauty
specialist says writer in the Chicago Tribune. There
is something about the doing of homework that bene
fits the health and spirits. Women who work in the
kitchen seldom have many wrinkles. The moisture of
the kitchen and the steam from the stove to keep
away creases. But the woman who does her
housework must look out for her hands The flesh
will get chapped, the nails will crack the fingers will
be spoiled
The first injunction to be given to the girl or the
matron who is going to be pretty in spite Of house
. work. because Of it, is this: Wear gloves all the
time There should be pair of big, loose kid gloves
at least two sizes too large for busting and such work
They have the tniest bit of glove paste inside
that the hands really bleaching while they work.
For work with discoloring substances there should
be pair of thin rubber gloves These be bought
in most drugstores, and they fine silk, and
finer. Being so thin, the gloves not too hot.
These be used when dyes polshes the silver
does wet and disagreeabe work.
The third pair should be Of soft WOOL to be put on
when the hands are exposed to the cold Window
washing and the hanging out Of clothes come under
this heading. These light wooden gloves should be
light in color for there is something in the color Of
gloves which affects the hands.
The real secret Of doing homework so that it acts
as beneficial exercise is found in the axiom:
'Have plenty of fresh air. The more open the
kitchen the better.
Early last summer famous singer went to
throat specialist and asked what she could do for her
throat and general health. Live in the open air.
said the specialist "And," he added, "do kitchen
work if possible.''
The singer built herself little cabin high in the
Alps, and there she lived all summer. She did her
own homework, living always in the open air. She
has grown in beauty until she is like rose She
does her cooking and her sleeping all in the open
