SUNBURNT HANDS
A GOOD LOTION TO MAKE At this time of year our hands are so much exposed to sun and weather that it is almost impossible to keep them white, but they must be evenly browned with the arms. If the skin of the hands is even a shade darker than the arms, the hands have a tendency to look larger than they should. The golden rule, then, is, do not expose the hands to the direct sun-rays more than the arms and shoulders, and keep the skin soft and well cared for \fith suitable hand creams, massage and exercises. Here is a good hand-cream whibh you can make. Melt an ounce of lanolino and while it is warm stir into it half an ounce of almond oil and half an ounce of almond meal. The oils soften and whiten and the almond meal gives a gentle friction, which, with the masRage, is very beautifying. There is nothing to equal the effect of rubbing in this cream at night and sleeping in a pair of loose gloves.
