BEAUTIFUL ELBOWS.
For rather bony elbows, first wash them in fairly warm water to which a pinch of borax has. been added. Now dry on a soft, fluffy towel, and rub a little skin food in each night, massaging for five minutes or until the skin absorbs all the moisture. This will round out your pointed elbows, and the effect will be lasting. Where the elbows and arms always appear red instead of a pretty pink-and-wkito effect, poor circulation is mostly the root of the trouble. In this case, go in for a little exorcise, and always use friction gloves on the arms and elbows after a bath. For easy removal of the ugly ‘‘corrugated" skin which spoils so many elbows, a fivo-minute nightly massage with a solution of peroxide of hydrogen, fresh lemon juice, and rose-water, in equal parts, is the best home treatment you can apply. Always soften the skin as much as possible beforehand by bathing for a few minutes in fairly warm water. a«nd apply the lotion immediately you have finished with the towel. And, do not' prepare more lotion than you can use up in two days, or it will lose its effect. 1
