WRIST AND ELBOW BEAUTY.

Much attention is bestowed upon one's hair and complexion, but one's wrists and elbows ?,re generally left to tako care of themselves with disastrous results.

A pretty rounded elbow is indeed a thing of beauty, and it is very seldom seen. Roughness and redness replace the soft white dimpled skin on the elbow, and tlio wrist is far too often reddened and roughened by exposure Elbows that are too thin and pointed are comparatively easy to improve. Warm olive oil, applied every night in the form of a bandage composed of cotton wool steeped in the oil and kept in position .with a strip of muslin which should be wpund round the arm and fastened with a safety-pin, will soon put matters right. Redness can be removed by rubbing every morning, after washing, with half a freshly-cut lemon A good cold cream liberally applied every night, and a little rubbed in after washing, when the bands are half dry, will soon whiten a red wrist. Tan and freckles should be treated with half a ripe tomato. Tomatoes have bleaching pioperties which are most effective in removing sunburn from the hands or arms, but the juice must be well rubbed in and allowed to dry on the skin. It is best to apply it at night and leave it on till next morning.
