A young lady who has a beautifully
kept hand, as well as an extremely pretty
one, says that she believes that she owes
her taper fingers and almond-shaped nails
entirely to her mother, who accustomed
her from her earliest childhood to dry her
'hands in a certain fashion. After the
hand was carefully wiped she pinched the
ends OF each finger with the towel and
then rubbed back the skin which grows
around the nail ''to find the moon" as the
children call it. Then came final pinch
to the fingers and the process was finished.
This method of drying the hands soon be-
comes habit, and if persevered in is sure
TO elongate the fingers and make them
taper. 1t is better than manicuring for
preventing the ugly growth of the skin
around the base of the nail
A caution to the woman story-writer of
certain sort who is apt to rhapsodize
over the "small white pearls" which she
puts in her herOine's mouth is found in the

An inquiring Frenchman has set about
studying the history of the corset from
the earliest time it was used as a sheath
for the female form divine. He has pict-
ures, too, which are rather flattering as
indicating the advance made from certain
early monstrosities, For example, unre-
formed as is our present corset, it is
fairy web compared to one dating from
the middle ages. This was a work of art
in its way. 1t was of wrought iron and
would have done credit to the greatest
Flemish metal workers.
A woman writing in a weekly Journal
talks very sensibly of some matters touch
ing the treatment of children, which are
pertinent to all mothers She says:
we lOFt our CllluEtu very IuuCil, Dub
we are curiously cruel to them Who
does not know the child in small hood
in the hot summer sun, getting its eyes
hurt in the dazzling light2 Who does not
know the babies under handkerchiefs
which keep them breathing the same air
over and over again} Who does not know
the bare arms, bare legs, and bare necks
of little ones whose delicate frames are
far less fitted than ours would be to
bear the same exposure? A mother
was talking about these matters to
me once and said, %, could not bear to
cover his neck, / do so love kissing itr
She was what YOU call a very loving
mOther-there are certainly many
and different ways of showing love.
We are reminded of that excellent lady
who said, kissing don't last, but cookery
dO'-and we say, kissing don't last, but
good health do If our magma
tions were now more awake, and our will
ingness to obey busters were less active,
we could, not only in clothes but also in
food, give them better chance to grow
up with sight and hearing active and Wig
