LEMON CURE FOR UGLY ELBOWS.
Elbow grease, in Victorian time, spelt energy-to-day it is a very literal thing, a preparation that will improve the appearance of the elbows and make them dainty and attractive. Elbows are frequently far too red, and wrinkled, but it is not a hopeless task both to whiten and sinooth the skin.
The best treatment is to hathe them nightly with lemon juice, and then, immediately afterwards, to rub in plenty of benzoated lard, and to cover them up with a piece of soft rag
The lemon juice will whiten them and the lard will prevent it crack- ing the skin, and at the same time soften it. When applying the lard the part must be well kneaded with the finger tips. If the skin is ex- tremely harsh, warm oil may be substituted for the lard, or it may be used on alternate nights.
In addition to a rightly treat- ment, the elbows need care at all times. They must always be per fectly dried, and then finished off with a little skin food, or a bath powder such as oatmeal-to ensure

The sunburn has vanished, hut the liking for green and white per- aista. With fabrics in every weave and all the variations of white, from chalk to deep ivory, go orna- ments of emeralds and jade mixed with diamonds or crystal.
Real jewels are not worn singly, but massed together. Women who can afford them choose large cme- ralds and jade with diamonds. For more slender purses, chryso- prase and eventurine take the place of emeralds and jade, and crystal the place of diamonds.

As far the new line, all dresses tend to have a high waist, and very full skirts flowing out widely or sometimes pleated. A little longer for day time wear, they are quite long and generally irregular in line for the evening. The suppleness and lightness of these printed velvets lends itself wonderfully to the winter mode,
How charming these very full skirts may be, can be well seen in the new collection which is now on view. chez Pamela. You will notice that the skirts often measure four or five yards round the hem, though the close slender line is always in evidence round the hip. Such lines would be impornible spent with the use of these very light and supple new materials!
