YOUR BEAUTY
KEEPING THE HANDS SOFT AND LOVELY.

: certain disadvantages. Hard wa
ter and soap may dry the skin and
hasty drying leaves it damp and
liable to chap.
To counteract this you will find
soothing and smoothing lotions =
great help.
Lemon is an excellent aid in
cleansing the hands. Rubbing your
hands with the pulp and juice of
lemon cut in half will clean them
and may save too frequent scrub
bling in water.
One wise woman who, because
of the nature of her work, finds it
necessary to wash her hands often,
keeps on her toilet shelf a small
bottle of lemon juice mixed with
a teaspoon of salt. After washing
her hands she pours few drops Of
this mixture over them before she
dries them. Both salt and lemon
are cleansing anC the iemon is a
DIedCn as Well.
OF course, lemon juice does not
keep fresh indefinitely, SO it is bet
ter to make up just a little of this
lotion at time.
You may like to apply a cleans
ing. nourishing cold cream to your
hands at night
The following formula makes a
cream that is both soothing and
nourishing:
Spermaceti. six ounces: white
wax, two ounces; oil of almonds,
sixteen ounces; glycerine, four
ounces; rosewater, four ounces:
borax, once ounce; oil Of rose,
twenty minims; extract of Jasmine.

Do not make the mistake Of
thinking that your hands require
less faithful care in summer than
IN winter. In winter, it is true.
the cold air and sharp winds NAV
roughen and chap them. But in
summer you are sure to wash
your hands oftener because they
are more exposed to dust and heat,
ana this dries the skin. Also in
summer freckles and sunlurn are
to be guarded against.
But it is an easy matter TO apply
the simple beauty measures 7 have
suggested. And they are lust as
useful in case of sunburn or freck-
les as in cleansing and whitening
the hands.

her a chance to gain the child's

more quickly if Mother stays out.
After that, the nurse will get along

It is better for Mother. then. to
stay out of the sick baby's room
as much as possible.
The nurse, to render her best
service must have a few hours
out of the house during the day
and a reasonable amount Of un-
interrupted sleep.
But remember, the essentials or
baby's sickroom are:
Air-the most important Of all
remedies.
Sunlight-the next most import

Quiet-to save every possible bit

Wise nursing-to secure intelli-

Proper medical supervislon-to
interpret the case and direct every
phase Of treatment until baby is
