How to Keep the Hands Soft.

New York Analyst /: A little ammo.
MIA or boraX in the water you wash
your hands with, aud that. water Just
lukewarm, will keep the skin clean
and soft. A little oatmeal mixed with
tie water will whiten the hands,
Many people use glycerine on their
hands when they go to bed, wearing
gloves to keep the bedding clean; but
glycerine makes some skins harsh and
red. These people should rub their
hands with dry oatmeal and wear
gloves in bed. The best preparation
for the hands at night is white of egg,
with a grain of alum dissolved in it,
"soman toilet paste" is merely white
of egg, barley flour and honey. They
say 1t was used by the Romans in
olden times. Anyway, it is a first
rate thing, but it is mean, sticky sort
of stuff to use, and doesn't do the work
any better than oatmeal. The toughest
and hardest hands can be made soft
and white in months time by doct-
oring them little at bedtime all the
tools you need are nailbrush, a bottle
of ammonia, a box of powdered borax
and little fine, white sand to rub the
stains of, or cut of lemon, which
will do even better, for the acid of the
lemon will clean anything. Manicures
use acids in the shop, but the lemon is
quite as good aud isn't poisonous,
while the acids are.
