Beauty
Grooming the
Elbows
BY DONNA GRACE

To much attention is often
spent on the perfect grooming of
the face, hands and hair, in pro
portion to the time given to the
arms and elbows. Somehow their
Importance in the beauty regime
seems quite forgotten, or at least
reckleSsly neglected.
One young lady writes that she
forgets all about her elbows eX-
cept when she wears evening
gowns, and then finds it impos-
sible to give them the attention
they need before it is time to be
dressed and on her way.
The poor little elbows are ex-
pected to stand the brunt of all
the abuse we give them.
There is really no reason why
the elbows should be rough and
calloused any more than any
other part of the arm. They re-
Spond to any beauty treatment
just as the hands and face do,
and they need about the same at
tention to keep them smooth and
lovely.
I will give you an emergency
treatment that will do a lot to
improve their appearance for
special occasions, but it is only
a temporary makeup, so do not
depend on it to last for more than
q few days.
First, cleanse the arms thor
oughly with cold cream or, while
you are in your bath you may
wash the elbows with soap and
water in the usual way. Do not
use stiff brush, or they may be-
come irritated. Scrubbing is Just
what they need, but not when you
are in hurry to dress, especially
if the skin is sensitive. Use tepid
water for bathing and a final
cool rinse.
The next thing to do after the
arms are dry is to apply cleans
ing cream to soothe the skin be-
fore you put on the following
bleach:
tablespoonful of Almond Meal
The strained juice of a lemon
p teaspoonful of Peroxide
Mix together with tablespoon.
full or enough witch hazel to make
thin paste.

This national military park at
Fredericksburg and SpotSylvania
was the scene of seven cam
paigns during the war between
the States.
1t has much the interest Of
Gettysburg and the areas have
been m arked in such a way
chronologically as to make clear
the position of the infantry
trenches, artillery emplacements,
fields of attack during each Of
the major battles.
The drive down to the park is
very delightful. 1t is one of the
many places near Washington
that can be enjoyed leisurely on
days outing.
One of the additional attrac-
tionS to the park are foot trails
leading through the jackson
Wild Flower Preserve. Every
species of wild flower and bloom
ing shrub native to this region
has been labeled both with the
botanical and common name.
Four BattlefieldS
The facilities for picnicking
are excellent. On each of the
four battlefields are rustic tables,
benches and stone fireplaces
These are placed in shaded areas
The Wild Flower Preserve is on
the Charlottesville battlefield.
To reach Fredericksburg, leave
Washington on U. S. Highway
No. l, through Alexandria and
continue on this highway until
you reach Fredericksburg. The
park is only few miles outside
of the town.
In driving back to Washing.
ton, you may wish to return an.
other route or to stop at Quan.
tico on the Potomac, the U. S.
Marine base.
Your lunch for the day need
not take long to prepare. The
sandwich filling can be blended
well in advance and made up
into sandwiches just before leav,
ing.
This menu would be very pleas
ing on a hot day. If there are
small children milk can be sub.
stituted for the lemonade and
simple cream cheese and peanut
butter sandwiches used in place
of those on this menu.

Repels Moths

Closets for storage of clothes are
now being built SO that they are
"cedarized." All walls are covered
with a thickness of cedar Suffi-
cient to frighten away even the
most daring moth.
A new paint product has been
introduced that contains cedar oil
among other chemicals. This
also gives protection. The closet
walls need only be painted with
this to become moth repellant.

sTEPMOTHER DIsGUsTED

Dear Miss Fairfax:
81 can't tell you how disguised
I'm becoming with my husband
over the way he treats his own
children. All three Of them stop
playing and hide when they hear
their fathers footsteps. For the
least breech of discipline he beats
them numerically, then beats
them again if they cry.
"When l told him considered
him a sadist, and threatened to
leave if he didn't treat them better,
he said they were his children and
he'd bring them up as he pleased.
I'm strongly tempted to take
this up with the proper authorities.
"STEPMOTHER."
I've often wondered at the bru'
tality of parents dealing with
sensitive, helpless little creatures
and laying up a store OF hatreo
for themselves in these children'S
hearts. I am thankful your STEP
children have you for refuge
and T think when their father dis
covers you are in earnest about
stopping his brutality, he will be-
come more humane and civilized.
Many children have gone through
life cowardly failures on account
of the treatment they have re-
ceived at the hands OF thelr
parents.

LOVelOrn
Might Scare
Him Off
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"He hasn't q steady job, but
makes very good money when he
does work, and a steady job is
in the Offing at present. Every
one tells me / am just wasting
my time going with him, as he
never says a word about love or
getting married.
"If he's in earnest, why doesn't
he talk 'business?' I'm very fond
of him, and would be willing to
wait years to be his wife. But if
he's just palling around and in
SiStS on keeping our relations on
a strictly friendly basis, what can
1 do? 1 hate to ask him if he ever
intends to marry me. GA"
In spite of the fact that this IS
leap year, my dear girl, blunt
request as to mans intention is
never wise. 1t frightenS them
away, even as Little Miss Muffett
was frightened away by the spider
who sat down beside her.
The indirect method of discover
ing a young mans intention is
much safer. A correspondent
wrote me the other day and said
she checked up on stallipg suitor
by saying: II believe our friend
ship means more to me than il
does to you" He came across and
proposed. But, of course, he might
have faded from the picture.
And it's never wise for girl who
wants to be settled to devote all
her time to a man who never drops
a word to show that he is serious.
LET HER STOP FOR MEALS
''Dear Miss Fairfax:
"One month ago today met the
girl of my dreams, and it was a
case of love at first sight. pro-
posed to her the same evening,
and since then l have proposed
every time / see her and also daily
by telephone. But she will not
take me seriously.
THE principal difficulty is that
1 work nights in a local concern,
and she works days IN a lawyer
office. Life seems to hold moth
ing for me but thoughts of her.
perhaps I'm a little too bold
and continual in my attentions,
but cannot get her to respond
to a world Of love. AL.
If you continue to pop the
question to this young lady,
every time you see her, why ex-
pect her to take you seriously?
You probably suggest a bottle Of
pop, or several Of them in sue
ceSSion.
AS to proposing by phone.
what could be more maddening
than to be called from the din
ner table on such an errand?
Have a heart; let the poor girl
finish her meals in peace.
Glad you have such a rolllck-
ing sense of humor.

'Is not my word like fire." saith

likened unto fire, a hammer, that
breaks rock to pieces, is quick and
powerful, sharper than any two-edg-

ing asunder of soul and spirit, and
of the joints and marrow, and is a
discerner of the thoughts and in
tents of the hearts by far, too
much to hold any congregation after
