and then realize, sadly, that it
just isn't for US. Today, however,
many of our real beauties have
proved that on unusual feature
may be turned into an asset. So,
whether you decide to play up
your unusual feature or play it
down, your hairdo can provide on
important setting.
Most women know that beauty
shops are fun, that it is nice to be
fused over, to have a trained

Before climbing a stepladder, see
that the spreader is fully extended
and the footing firm. If the ladder
is to stand on a concrete sidewalk

keep the ladder from sliding. Use
a board under the base on soft
ground. Face the ladder when
climbing; don't lean too far out or
attempt to carry too heavy a load.
When you clean outside windows,
use a ladder and move it frequently
to reach window easily. Sitting on

even for first floor windows. It's

says the Delaware Safety Council,

There are gardens to be dug,
lawns to be moved, hikes to be TAX

All these activities should be un-
