Cold w e at h e r
Hard On
T h e m
By Maria JeritZa
Prima Donna of the Metropolitan
Opera Company. One of the
Most Beautiful Women of
the Day.

How are your hands, now that
winter cold and winter winds are
with us? Are they symmetrical
in shape. fine and velvsty OF
skin. texture, white, pink-tipped,
as poets depict a lady's hands!
Do not be discouraged even
though your hands and fingers,
as you hold them up for your
own inspection. fall far short or
the standard / have described.
If you have been neglecting
them you can begin today to
give them the care they need.
And hands respond quickly, beau
tifully, to intelligent care.
In summer time. your hands
need a softening. bleaching To-
ton to keep them -at their best.
But in winter they need just
three times as much of the
same oily. bland. astringent mix
ture in order to keep nourished
and normally moist despite win
try blasts.
Here is a good hand cream,
which should keen the skin sur
face soft provided you rub in a
bit after each washing of yCGr
Ahands and wrists:
Petrolatum, 8 ounces.
White wax? 1k ounces.
Spermaceti, liz ounces,
Witch hazel. 3 fluid ounces.
Oil of lavendar Tor other perfume
oi1). few drops.
Melt the first three ingredients
in double boiler. Remove them
from the fire and cool them
slightly, then add the WITCH
hazel. Stir the mass until it IS
creamy and pour it into wIae-
mouthed jars. The amount in
dicated by the formula should
make enough of the hand cream
to last six months and the mix
ture should keep at least that
length of time in a cool place.
Many women destroy the beau
tiful skin texture of their hands
at this time of the year in two
ways. First. they immerse their
hands in water and soap and fail
to dry them thoroughly, which
leaves the skin damp and ex-
posed to cold air. This in turn
dries the cuticle until it shrinks
and flakes, and badly chapped
skin results. When you immerse
your hands in soap suds be sure
to choose a~bland, pure white soap
even for dishwashing Afterward
rinse your hands we'll in cold
water. dry them carefully and
gently and rub in your ever-handy
hand cream or lotion. A still
better plan is to wear rubber
gloves while washing dishes. doing
laundry work and preparing vege-
tables.
The second way that hands are
made to suffer cruelty in winter
IS by submitting them to cold out
door air without gloves. Do not.
j beg of you. neglect to wear your
gloves in cold weather. Even our
caveman ancestors knew how es-
sential gloves were and wore
leather gloves neatly stitched with
leather thread when hunting.
Wear gloves that are comfort
ably warm and also washable.
Fabric gloves for every day come
in excellent styles and materials
and have real warmth. If your
gloves are soiIed. they will grind
more dirt into your hands, which.
in turn, will make the gloves more
soiled. Gloves can be washed out
in a moment each night just as
silk stockings are washed.
Proper glowing. thorough wash.
ing and drying and frequent nour-
ishment with a good lotion should
keep your hands things of beauty
throughout the winter season.

FIND ANCIENT
STOVE

School essays written on clay,
business receipts duly stamped,
and label from the first known
museum in the world are among
the finds Of an expedition while
excavating in Mesopotamia. They
also discovered remarkably up

WOmen's Wear

Almost fit for a museum is the
exquisite embroidery on a pair Of
silver cloth evening sandals. Pale
green. blue and rose threads are
woven on a background of silver
cloth in the manner of an old
tapestry, covering the entire slip
per. The result, needless to say, is
very charming and quaint.

A warm water bath to which a

All pickles are improved by
