Revised Method
Of Hand Care
Practical
By Patricia Lindsay

Hands are used harder today than
before in our feminine history.
Ladies of yore never imagined that
the women of today would be work
ing at machines in grease and CRIME
Naturally hand care has had to
be revised. No longer will ordinary
soaps and lotions keep hands in
lovely condition. More potent aids
are in order and they are right on
your cosmetic counter today.
For instance an invaluable aid for
the protection of the hands is a
white cream which forms sort of a
masque on the skin. 1t acts like an
invisible glove for all grimy work
Soap and water removes it and the
CRIME when the job is done. Count
less factory workers are finding this
cream a good protection.
Then there is the problem of re-
moving grease and CRIME and
dirt If a protective cream cannot
be used on the hands while you
work. For this purpose there is
friction cream soap which con-
tains, powdered soap and calcium
grains. When this is massaged in
to your wet hands it acts very
much like kitchen cleansing
powder but it does not irritate the
skin. 1t leaves the hands soft
and clean, ready for fabrication.
| Now, in some instances, the
hands may be fabricated with the
ri Fo 11{
which you have used for years
But If you have used your hands
so hard and scrubbed them harder,
the chances are the skin has been
torn or irritated No ordinary
hand lotion should be used then
But there is a remedy.
A rather new household lotion
has made its appearance which is
a germicidal cosmetic-one which
would protect and heal skin that
has been broken. BY the by, this
same lotion Is splendid to use for
sun and windburn, slight infec-
tions and other skin irritations. A
rather useful lotion to have in the
home.
The three aids above are prac-
tical aids and will suffice in keep
ing toiling hands in good condi-
ton. But night comes, or a day
when you want your hands te
smell nicely as we'll as look nice
ly. For such gala occasions you
should use scented cream CO.
logne after using the antiseptie
lotion above. There is one which
is ideal for last minute scentine
and grooming and 1t has the mos
lovely fragrance of pink clover. II

Pressed hardboard chests made
with a walnut wood grain finish are
neat in appearance and certainly
are a joy to the housewife who lacks
sufficient closet space. These chests
are designed especially to hold blan-
kets and clothing for storage and
the overlap top keeps out dust. This
is an excellent feature. A moth
humidor is included also.

Stoves are another article that
need special care in these days.
Don't put off giving your stove a
thorough cleaning, for before you
know it something will go wrong
and anyway it will lose its luster.
Keep on hand a jar of cleaner
that is said to do wonders. 1t will
keep your stove looking like new.

Most of the new apartments equip
the kitchens with built-in, table top
cabinets, but there are a few who
leave that up to the tenant. A friend
of ours was faced with this problem
recently and for days she looked for
just the right type of work table.
II you find yourself in this same
predicament, be sure and see a
cabinet table made Of wood with
baked on white enamel finish. 1t has
a large drawer and spacious COM
partment, with shelf, where pans
can be conveniently kept. The
article boasts sturdy hardboard sides
and back. One could use the drawer
for cutlery or even linen and the
table top is just what's needed when
preparing vegetables.

Shopping the town in the van

amazed to find how we'll the young

Young Woman
Should Join
Husband
By Leffice Lee Street,

Dear Mrs. STREET.: My husband
wants me to go to the town near the
camp where he Is in training in the
Army. 1t is about 300 miles from
here. I am now in my mothers
house, and I did not want to come
here when my husband left, but she
made me. She fought my marriage,
and will not speak to my husband,
and now she won't let me go to him.
She says that the trip will hurt my
3month-old baby and that it will
kill her If I leave her alone. She
says that won't have decent
place to live and that crowded towns
near camps are terrible.
But love my husband and miss
him and he writes that he is miser-
able without me. He says that
nice apartment has been promised
to him in six weeks time.
I am nursing my baby; will the
trip affect my milk supply, do you
think? Will it hurt her to travel?
Am I selfish to leave my mother?
She has always done everything for
me and now when she is no longer
young, and when she is sick, should
I leave her? What shall I do?

ner merely to keep you tied to her
side. If she really loved you she
would send you to your husband,
and thank the kind Providence that
has arranged for you to lead a
normal life with your own man,
baby and home.
The best possible course for you
to take is to bundle yourself and
your bambino onto the first train
for the town where your young hus-
band so eagerly awaits you-and
needs you.
If a home were not available for
your use I would certainly advise
you to postpone your trip until one
could be found. Please do not leave
unless the apartment is really ready
for you. A soldiers wives-crowded
towns, with hotels jam packed, is no
place for you and your infant to find
yourselves without living accommo-
dations prearranged
Travel as lightly as possible, and
select week day for departure.
Pack one suitcase for baby needs,
and don't forget rubberized bag
for so!led diapers. Take jar of
sterile nipples and at least two bottles
of boiled water, but orange juice and
cod liver oil can be safely omitted
during the journey. Do not bother
with an elaborate bath for the baby

lap. Let her wear rubber panties
