ana the ultra woman cultivated her
finger nails like claws. But everything
rights itself in time and all that is really
excellent survives. The manicure tray
is now on every dressing table, bird claw
nails are no longer the fashion. and the
woman with unkempt nails puts her
hands behind her and feels painfully
conscious of the fact. Then she visits
a manicure establishment. She learns
how TO attend TO her own nails in one
lesson. If she can afford it she goes
every week. If she cannot indulge in
that luxury and has no maid to perform
the service she can easily do it for her
self, says the New York World.
a Busy Woman
with ink on her fingers went to a mani
cure parlor one day last week. New
York processes to have the most luXu-
riOuSly furnished and properly conduct
ed establishments of this nature in the
world. Paris and London are aYOwedly
in eclipse. Plenty of money flows into
the Golfers. There is no tariff, no Nc
Kinley bill. no mandate of any sort or
description to interfere with the finger
nall business. In some respects it re-
SemDles Col. Sellers eye water, because
the more you use 1t the more you want
it and the more determined you are TO
have il. 1t costs 10 cents finger to be
manicured.
The lnky woman was first hidden By
a gentle, pretty-faced little attendant To
put her finger nails TO soak in a solution
of soap and warm water. 4 silver bowl
was placed upon a white and gold ped
eStal at either side of her chair for the
purpose. The hands of the inky woman
at once took on a red and purple hue
from very embarrassment at the inSpec-
ton they were to undergo. They were
useful hands. They had no need to feel
ashamed of themselves, but they did.
The little maid said the nails were
shapely and she felt sorry they had
been so ill-treated and neglected. The
hands felt encouraged at this and as
Sumed a normal complexion. The maid
scraped and filed and clipped and pol
ished and anointed and pinched and
powdered each Individual finger.
During the grooming she divulged
some important facts regarding men and
Women and Finger Nails
She said men take better care of their
nails than women do. She said nails
could be made any desired shape by
treatment. She said the inky woman
would have to come once or twice a
week for two months before hers would
be fit TO be seen. The hands grew very
red again when she said this. She
eSSayed the name of the woman who
had the prettiest nails in New York
She is an actress and she is not we'll
known. One could not reasonably eX-
peet to find fame and finger nails in the
same person.
When the inky woman'S nails were
pronounced complete her ten fingers
looked very much like family of cOun-
try cousins in red bonnets, and they
were uncertain whether they were in
tended to be useful members of society
or were made to stand around and be
admired.
Woman has always endured a mild
form of martyrdom for beauty's sake.
She has experimental with a nose ,
Shaper, and she has retired to her
dOWny couch with more horns to her
head than dragon. a crowned head
has rested never more uneasily. She
has wound her hair in wires and curl
papers until her eyes refused to close,
and her nerves rose up in righteous in
dIgnation. She has tried to bore
dimple in her chin, and on her hands
she has worn everything from mutton
Iailow and gloves to bleacher of alum
anu Dread-and-milk poultice. Now she
avails herself OF the massage treatment
for her face, and she sleeps under fewer

The face
Receives a Turkish Bath
with complications of novel order.
The cost of the treatment is s.. When
a woman turns that time backward in
its flight by dispensing few wrinkles
she does not Degrudge the expense.
When you go for the first time to
you your skin is very harsh and dry,
When you ask her what makes hers so
soft and Satiny she will tell you she
never washes her face. She hasn't
washed it in twenty-five years. Neither
has Patti. This is contrary to the rules
handed down to you from long line of
ancestry, but you are bound to accord
doubtful credence. Then she proceeds
to prove to you that soap and water are
Of no avail to remove soil from your
face. This is the way she does it.
You are invited to a small private
apartment. On the table is a steamer
Or boiler, nickle plated, and at the end
of series of pipes constructed accord
ing to mechanical principles is wide
mOuthed funnel. Madame is the engi-
neer. The first thing she does is to fire
up. This is done by means of an alcO-
hol lamp. She pins towel around your
neck, and while the steam is coming up
she anOints your face and neck with a
creamy mixture. This remains on about
three or five minutes and then it IS
scraped off with an ivory blade.
You may have secured your face
with hot water and soap just be-
fore you left home. You may have
scrubbed it until you looked like a
boiled lobster and shOne with the virtue
near akin to goodness, but it avails you
nothing. The peculiar substance she
scrapeS from your face you will never
forget. The cream was white when it
was laid on; it is black when it comes
Off.
You Apologize TO Madame
instinctively. You are glad your friends
are not by. They would refuse to as
sOeiate with you. By this time the
steam is up and she turns it OH to your
face. 1t is indicated steam. 1t pours
out upon your visage, like the flow from
a leaky valve, for fifteen minutes. Very
sOOn the perspiration pOnrs down your
face like rain or like the tears of Wom-
an with an imaginary grievance. The
brlny shower falls ON the towel about
your neck. The next treatment is
the regular massage or else vigorous
cupping. This takes out wrinkles.
1t is followed by drying process with
a soft linen cloth; dust of powder and
the face grooming is over. 1t has con-
Sumed about 45 minutes. But you feel
as though you had new suit of clothes,
a clear conscience and new lease on
lite, and are ready to begin your tenn
poral existence all over again.
This is what New York women are
doing. Some Of them have the conven-
