It was a frying time, as they recall: "A neighbor offered us a corn planter and we bought another one, so we could both put in the bean crop," Mr. Wick lund remembers. "We went down the rows to gether, planting beans and look ing fqr all the world like a cou ple of jackrabbits. We'd go a few jumps and then dissolve in laughter," says Mrs. Wicklund. "Weeding was about the same, Eric recalls. "By the time we had one row done, the last one was Brown -up with weeds again. I never had a blister in the Marine Corps, but my hands and feet were covered with them that first summer working with the beans."

REDUCED 33!3 sportswear, 2nd floor (Brought to you la the Interest ot good grooming by TUlaay's) DEAR MISS LAVONNE: I am a housewife with 2 small children and a busy active husband. I enjoy doing so many things such as gardening, ceramics, sewing, cook ing and mainly taking care of my family. My hands are constantly busy and take terrible abuse . . . especially when I paint around the house. My problem is I have terrible looking hands. They have frequent stains, raised veins, rough spots and my nails never keep a coat of polish so I've stopped wearing it. How can I continue my busy life yet try and have decent looking hands and nails and I don't mean like a movie stars' but just decent. Thank you. Mrs. A. B. D. ' DEAR MRS. A.B.D.: You are constantly pre senting your hands to the world in everything you do as you carry packages, write a letter, fluff your hair or serving food so it is wise for you to start talcing care of them. Some time each day, give them a gentle treatment massaging them gently in a rotary movement from tips on up as high as you want. Stretch your' fingers then shake them vigorously to stimulate circula tion. This takes but a moment yet youll love the rejuvenated tingling. Detergents rob your hands of natural oils so have a bottle of rich hand lotion handy by every basin in the house to remind you to use it Apply before and after submerging them in water. Have a bottle of silicone lotion handy to apply before putting on gloves for gardening, painting or handling foods that will stain. The only way youll beautify your hands is to give them a little care and prevent the wear. Give yourself a weekly manicure and if you don't like wearing colored polish then at least apply extra -coats of clear base polish to protect them. Don't forget to massage your hand lotion gently into the cuticle. As you love your garden remember your hands can look like flowers or weeds. DEAR MISS LAVONNE: nails, all covered with white spots. Can you tell what ! causes this and what to do about it. J. V. DEAR J.V.: White spots on the ncdls come from a bump or pressure. I suggest you watch j your hand movements and try preventing these bumps you are giving them, they are a bruise. Try leading with your wrists and break the bump. Apply extra coats of base polish on the nails to help strengthen them then extra coats of polish to cover up the white spots. They will, gradually disappear as the nail grows out. DEAR GLOREA LAVONNE: Is It considered fashion able to wear fake fur? I can't afford real fur yet love the new fake furs being shown in the stores. Furs have been copied for many years and always have looked cheap to me. Thank you. S. M. DEAR S.M.: They have so many beautiful fake furs now and they are being used in so many ways, and very fashionably. I do suggest however, that you buy a good quality fake fur , as this will take away Have A Personal Bring or Mail Your Letter to Any Tiffany Store KORE TUNE Monday Q thru Friday ' A.M. 1450 LARGE SIZE SALE Now on at all 4 stores!
