The longer I live, and the
more life stories I hear, the more
aware I am that the blow which
will send one woman INTO a tail
spin of tears and bitterness will,
to another, be just a new oppor-
tunity fol achievement.
Take for example, Theresa H.
Theresa married "a no-good
man. He never kept a lob. He
was an alcoholic. In between
drinking jags. he gambled with
whatever money he could get his
hands on. And, finally, he walked
out on Theresa, leaving her with
three babies under 5 years of
age.
Most girls would have gone
home to the family, if any, and
spent the rest of their lives being
that poor dear thing" with a
good excuse for bitterness and
cynicism forever. But not

We had a big, old-fashioned
apartment, with three extra

that we were never able to take

Why Grow OId7
Winter Care
For Elbows
And Feet
By Josephine Lowmon

SSSS RbubS 6VWut0h
This is the time of year when
we must give our feet and ell
bows and hands special care.
Cold winds and dry air may
cause them to become rough.
Here are a few suggestions:
Keep several bottles Of hand
lotion in different places in the
house. Every bathroom should
have a bottle and there should
be at least one downstairs and
one upstairs. We often fail to
apply lotion after washing our
hands because it is nots by our
side. This adds up over the
winter months.
Wear gloves whenever you go
outdoors, even If it is for a
short trip to a nearby store or
to take the children to school.
Two or three times a week
massage your hands with hand
cream and then sleep in a pair
of the little mitts designed es-
pecially for this purpose. This
has a wonderfully softening eff
feet.
There are also elbow and heel
mitts on the market. These are
really sort of cute looking on a
cold winters night. They come
in pastel shades. Most people
have trouble keeping the cuti-
Gle about the toenailS and the
skin of the heels soft, especially
In cold weather.
Treat the cuticle of your toe
nails as well as you do that about
your f1ngernails. The former
takes the greater beating. After
soaking in your bath, rub the
heels and toes with a rough
washcloth. After drying your
self massage the feet with q
body lotion. Then massage
cuticle oil about the toenails.
This procedure, If used regularly,
will keep your feet soft and give
you much restful comfort.
Actually not many women
treat themselves to pedicures,
but once in a while this is a
great luxury.
During winter months use a
bath oil in your bath water in
order to avoid very dry skin.
Sometimes a warm bath just be-
fore retiring leads to insomnia
because sensitive thin skin may
itch after the bath during cold
weather. If your skin is dry, the
winter weather dries it out
more. Remember that when
you bathe you remove the nat
ural oils from the skin surface.
A bit of care in such SEEM
1ngly small ways will keep YOU
looking younger and feeling
more comfortable.
