'brisk rubbing. Then rub on any
cream or lubricant. The follow
ing mixture is very good:
ounce mineral oil

5 drops Of Oil of lavender
This mixture is for the body

Creams are better for the fine
texture of the skin on the face.
The oil bath may be applied any
time, and need not be preceded by

When there is an extreme irri-

antiseptic should be patted on.

It is wise to give dry, sensitive
skins a great deal of careful and
expert attention, not only for the
improvement in skin texture and
appearance, but for the sake Of
comfort and relaxation.
When skins become dry and
harsh, we are sure to know that
the skin lacks oil and that only
fabrication with creams and oils
will bring about a normal condi-
tion.
Some skins are so lacking in
natural fabrication that they need
an abundance of oiling to keep
them from being chapped and
irritated. The cold weather is
very hard on dry skin, especially
if soap and water is used for
cleansing.
The combination of the dry
heat, cold weather and frequent
bathing is often the direct cause
Of the rash and itching they call
winters Itch" 1t will usually
start on the lower leg or the most
exposed part between the knee and
shoe top. Then the hands and
arms may be involved.
The inclination is to scratch the
area, with the result of an infec-
tion or at least a further spread
of the irritation. When this is a
chronic occurrence, one should con-
suit a physician and take treat
ment for it.
The average case may be re-
lieved by omitting the soap and
water baths. We simply cannot
give up our baths, but they must
not be the hot or even warm
temperature baths. The bathroom
window should be closed so as to
avoid too much air circulation.
Then, instead of soaps, use oat-
meal bags for rubbing and to
soften the water. A tablespoon
full of borax to the average tub
will soften the water also.
Bath oil perfume or salts may
be used always.

g 0 many people are calling
~ in these days to ask what
they shall take on cruise,
that it's probably a good idea
to go into the matter as we'll
as we can. Cruise wardrobes
depend, of course, on where
you're going, and how long you
will stay-whether you will
stay on the boat with the same
crowd all the time, or whether
you will stop a while in Ber-
muda, Havana, or wherever
you're going.

going to be two weeks or more
on a boat with the same people,
we recommend a wardrobe some
thing like this! A warm coat to
start out and come home in, per-
haps just the topcoat to a three
piece tweed suit, such as you al
ready have. A simple felt hat
with this that can also be worn
with some of your other clothes.
One printed dress for days on the
boat before you get to tropical
climeS, and for sightseeing in such
cities as Havana. With all your
sightseeing clothes, or daytime
things, remember that the most
comfortable shoes possible are nee

and it's advisable to haze one in

Shorts should be the net1 longer

essential too. Remember that
you 1DtlI need t1Do bathing suits
on most cruises or at most resorts,
and many people haze one of

are simple and you vary your &C

making them look different. This
applies to your other clothes as
well. With these dresses you will
want simple shoes, perhaps of

A1OW for your clothes if you're
IN not going South, but are TAX
ing to the snOw-cOvered hills some
where in the nOrthland. There are
several Washington stores special
izing in ski things this year, and
they're now ready to help you.
You can find everything you will
need, including ski shoes and skis
themselves. And the most dis
arming array of suits, sweaters and
all that, that you've ever dreamed
of.
0H things fall generally into two
~ classes, expertly tailored jack
cts and such that have a Norwe-
gian look, and gay things of Tyrol-
can inspiration. Of course you can
mix them, wearing a tailored jack
ct Of waterproofed gabardine, with
a colorful wool scarf, socks, nit
tens and hood of knitted wool, COM
bining all the colors of the rain
bow. In fact many people go gay
in these accessories, and others
prefer plain white, yellow, or some
thing Of that sort. Tyrolean belts
are quite the rage, and are worn
other places besides on the snow
fields. Sweaters in several differ
ent weights are a good idea, and
plenty of mittenS and socks, so
you'll always have some that are
dry. Again, do not forget sun
glasses, for the glare of the sun
on the snow is just as bad as it is
on the water. and can do as much
damage to your eyes. You will
need much cosmetic equipment,
too, for wind and snow burn your
face bitterly, if you do not use
proper protection, and if you get
too much. Be sure you have a
good soothing cream, and a
foundation for protection while
you're out.

the items described here, call

WIFE BEATER
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"He is ten years older than / am,
but he seemed to be everything
that is good and manly, and 1 mar
ried him. I was 18, an orphan
and wanted to go on to business
college, but the aunt with whom
/ lived could not afford to send me.
II tramped the streets looking
for work, but had not enough train
ing or education to get job.
"He hal been asking me to
marry him for a year, SO I gave
in and we were married.
From the start, q woman with
whom he had been Overfriendly
kept calling him up on the phone,
and when 1 objected, he got very
cross. She wanted him to 90 to
New York with her, and he told me
he was going.
"He claimed they had some
property near ROckaway, but 1
knew that was lie. I cried and
begged him not to go, and he beat
me so terribly that people living
in the same apartment house came
in and interfered.
"After two weeks he came back
and wanted me to live with him
again, but I refused, and again
he beat me. But this time I
screamed for help, and the police
came and went back to my aunt.
81 now despiSe this man whom
1 married, and l wonder at women
who write to your column saying
their husbands beat them but that
they still love these men.
''It would be unsafe for my huS-
band if / went back to him. I
know 1 would do something deS-
perate. Why don't they have a
whipping post for wife-beaters in
all States? JUSTICE"
Various States are beginning to
hand out rough and ready punish
ment to wife-beaterS. Washington
State is the last to join the list.
It's a good thing, too, and a
certain justice, who as penalty in
flictS twice the number of blows
given by the wife-beater, has said
he has never known a man to
come back for second dose. It's
getting the laugh from other men
that effects the cure.
Go to the Legal Aid Society, and
in your present frame of mind it
would be unwise to think of a
reconciliation.
The Washington times., 1936-12-31
CAN'T FORGET HIM

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"It all started when he began
putting his car in our garage.
We fell in love, and though I try
hard to forget him, can't.
81 just see him before me all
the time. He is nine years older
than I am. Do you think that is
too great a difference in our ages?
He is rs and / am 16.
"UNHAPPY."
Why anyone 16 years old and
in love, not to mention seeing the
object of her affection every day,
should be unhappy, is mystery to
me.
Why does the course of true love
not run smooth? If the young
man isn't married or engaged to
someone else, you seem to me to
be in a highly strategic position.
Nine years difference in ages
has never been an unSurmountable
difficulty to love.

Wife Objects
To Talking
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX


(FGnous Authority on Problems
of Love and MGrriGge)
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Sometimes I drink more than
1 can manage, and on retiring /
get in very talkative mood. My
wife doesn't care to listen, and
L can't blame her. But always the
next day 1 apologize and am ter
ribly sorry.
"We have baby, and the last
time talked all night I was Or
dered out of the house in the
morning. I've been having bad
luck about jobs. 1t just seems as
if everything is against me. I've
tried to beg forgiveness from my
wife, but she is considering divorce.
Last time 1 saw her, promised
that if she would give me only
one more chance 1 would quit
drinking absolutely. I have a job
now, but she won't listen to me.
If she won't forgive, my life is
ruined; can't go on.
"HERBERT."
You have diagnosed your trouble
so accurately that you do not need
any outside help. The help must
come from yourself.
It's up to you to prove to your
wife that you've stopped drinking,
and with it, these all-night chatter
ing matches, which must be try
ing in the extreme, especially when
there is a baby whose wakefulness
is to be considered.
If she turns you down once,
twice. or even three times, don't
go back to the bottle for COM
fort. And the fourth time per-
haps she'll relent.
