ated for preserving the satin smooth
ness of the skin and overcoming the
effects of dryness often caused by
dieting or extreme nervousness, as
well as the commoner causes Of hard
water and cold weather.
This is creamy flesh-colored lotion
delicately fragrant. Begin at the feet.
Take some Of the lotion in the palms
of the hands and stroke upward along
the top Of the foot and up the shin
bone, not forgetting the heel, then give
the knee good supply. Continue
over the body, giving the arms the
same treatment and as much of the
rest Of you as you can reach. Made
expressly for the body. it is more sat-
isfactory for this purpose than hand
lotion, which you might reserve for
use on the bad spots like the heels
and elbows.
A hand lotion with medicated oil
base Is good one to use frequently
on the rough spots, or better still, to
keep these spots from becoming roughl
It is petal pink and very pleasant to
use. In the same category is an ex-
cellent skin balm, milky and white
and slightly bleaching, which is noted
for keeping its good qualities to the
last drop, and does not turn rancid
from standing on the shelf in a warm
room. This balm is very successful as
a heel and ankle smoother and has
proved its worth for a number OF
seasons.
MANY people prefer creams to To-
tons for the hands and some
people with particularly dry hands
like to use both, particularly at night.
Creams are usually more penetrating
and many manufacturers of hand
lotions also make hand creams. One
Of the most satisfactory hand creams
that We have discovered is one that
is often recommended for very rough
hands, and comes with its own kind
of soap and gloves to help along the
good cause. However, the cream may,
of course, be purchased separately
and Is wonderful to use at night
In addition to your regular hand lotion
that you use every time you wash
your hands. Instead of being pink, or
white, this cream is pale green. just
to be different, or perhaps on account
Of one of its ingredients.
Another well-liked hand cream that
comes in tube has been mentioned
before in this column, and deserves
a repeat. That Is the one that con-
tains lemon oil with its bleaching
qualities, as well as its soothing prop
critics. 1t confines itself to one shop,
but has large and enthusiastic fol-
lowing nevertheless.
ONE of the most amusing things
that we have discovered while
making the rounds Of the cosmetic
departments is that they have now
extended their clientele to include
milady's pets on leash. Quite startling
Is q new eau de toilette intended only
for the freshly shampooed canine!
But why not? It is quite intriguing
from its fanciful dog-house box of
white with high sloping red roof, to
the nice pungent smell Of the toilet
water itself. It has q good, clean,
wholesome odor, much better than dog
soap. Even fussy little Peke herself
could not possibly object to it, and
for larger members Of the well-bred
canine family it might be a real bless
ing. So it has come to this, that we
even have perfumes for our petsl
What will we be having next?
