Necklace lines around the throat

fortunately. usually can be elm
mated more easily than those
across the forehead or around the

Persistent Dreaming Is impor-

time you use 1t on your hands.
Once or twice a week, massage
night cream into them and leave

Cuticles as well as knuckles will
be benefited by a home treatment
which consists of applying a spe-
cial cream or oil lavishly, then
wearing lightweight cotton gloves
all night or at least for a couple
Of hours. Several manufacturers
Of beauty preparations for the
hands now sell inexpensive gloves
for this purpose along with var
ious creams or oils.
USE LOTION
EACH DAY
BY all means scrub your elbows
with a bath brush or nail brush
each time you battle. Put grease
less lotion or hand cream on them
before you dress each morning and
six times a week at night. On the
seventh night, use some of your
regular face cream. In other
words, keep the skin from becom-
