Elbows Also Come
In For Attention
At This Season
BY HELEN VOGT.

Whether you're at the lollypop or
you can still get pretty excited about
the circus coming to town. There's
something about the gayety and
merriment of life under the big
tent that puts all of us in carnival
mood-and it's this same exciting
atmosphere that has inspired one
firm to produce nail enamel and
lipstick colors with the theme of
the circus behind them.
They're really snappy, these new
shades, and their originators are
so enthusiastic about them that you
can't fail to get into the spirit of it
all There are two shades, one
sunlit rose pink to be used as an
accent for blush pinks, pastel blues,
grey, mauve, rose, beige-in fact,
all the soft colors; the other is a
vivid rose-red with a raspberry hue.
This is ideal with dark grey, navy,
sharp yellow, turquoise, black and
white. Both colors are to be found
in nail enamel and matching lip
sticks-and both are of excellent
quality with long lasting virtues
that will make you confirmed user
once you try them.
This fascinating beauty combina-
ton comes in little polka dot purse
pouch at no extra cost. These draw
string pouches will hold in addition
to the lipstick and nail enamel,
all your other necessities for beauty
and keep your handbag in spic
and span order. Watch these soft
drink" colors which derive their
gayety and glamour from the cir
Gus. And watch their ever spread
ing influence on fashions for all
occasions. These new tones are
something to see and try-they're
our own suggestion for spring tonic.
Last week we told you about a
new kit to beautify and enhance
your knees since very short skirts
are sure to call attention to them.
Well, now comes another good idea
which should do away with those
rough elbows being exposed by the
short sleeves of spring and summer
frocks. A we'll known firm offers
this routine tc counteract the harsh
effect of winter which results in
coarsened elbows: First, pour a few
of their beauty grains on stiff
bristled hand brush and rub elbows
vigorously. These grains smooth
and bleach the coarsened, discolored
area. Then apply rich face cream,
smoothing it in with circular strokes
to soften the skin. Finally, before
going out, place a small dab of rouge
on each elbow and powder over it
to create a young and rosy effect.
Just because you can't see your ell
exist and there's nothing that can
make you look less immaculate
than this neglect.
- Along these same lines, we discus
sed the problem of blemishes on the
arms with a beauty representive
who visited here last week She
represents the product which has
become so famous as covering
for birthmarks and other disfgur-
ing spots on the skin. This creamy
covering, also serves as a founda-
ton, has proved boon to girls
who were made selfconcious by per-
manent or temporary blemishes
and now the product is available
in stick form so that any small
spots on the skin may be quickly
touched up and covered This item
no larger than a lipstick, is often
used to good advantage on arms and
legs, and with summer coming on,
it will be perfect to hide defects
otherwise emphasized by briefly
cut clothes. Just rub little on the
spot you wish to cover, work it
into the skin and then apply your
ordinary makeup over it. Simple
and very effective.
