WATCH YOUR ELBOWS.
Short .sleeves are making women elbow-conscious, and it is high time. Of course, every woman i can't have dimpled elbows, but it is her own fault if the skin is not as smooth and white as the rest of her arm.
The habit of resting the elbows on the table or desk tends to make the skin thick and parchment-like. And it takes something more than a heavy layer of powder to conceal roughened elbows. There is no better "elbow grease" in the world than the homely lemon combined with, cold cream. Half a lemon, into which a generous helping of cold cream has been inserted, should rest on every woman's wash basin, and the elbows rubbed twice daily. The lemon juice acts as a bleach, while the cold cream tends to make the skin soft and smooth. ("Star" and A.A.N.S.)
