NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Always give careful
attention to your hands. At least once a
week visit good manicure and have the
nails shaped like filbert, es the very point
ed are no longer fashionable. Use very faint
tinting, if any. A good way to make blunt
finger tips tapering is to be found in wear
ing tight thimbles of variegated sizes on all
the fingers at night.
Always keep in mind your complexion
and style in choosing color. Big women
never look well in unrelieved white
Blonds, except in the pale moonlight tone,
should avoid yellow. Small women look
best in white or decided pale hues-colors
like brown or black except for the street
are apt to make them insignificant.
Always consider the dreadful hues tresses
take when they are going back" when
ever you are tempted to bleach or dye your
hair. l assure you a woman sat next me at
a dinner the other evening, and above the
original gray seen family at the temples
there were hints of bronze, saffron and
green. After a bleaching process the hair
never regains its elasticity and frequently
becomes prematurely gray.
Always use sachet scents. The crude ex-
tract upon clothes is like an affront. The
woman whose draperies give out a trem-
bling, faint. Intoxicating fragrance, suggest
i've of no particular odor, yet seeming to
embrace ALL Is the woman who lays her
linen in bureau drawers lined by big sachet
cases, and who hangs little bags of sachet
powder in the skirts and bodices of her
gowns.
Always give due thought to exercise
Ellen Terry has reached the horizon of
middle age, yet she is hssom and agile as
a girl of 16. AS she confded to friend, the
result is attained by constant exercise and
a fluttering, girlish way of moving about.
She believes that devotion to the rocking
chair and couch brings stiff joints and the
stilted bearing of old age many years too
soon.
Always follow the fashion when it saves
trouble and money. The black MORE scarfs
so much in vogue now bid fair to hold their
own throughout the spring, and the reason
is self evident. With about a yard and a
half of silk cut in two up the length, the
ends pointed and trimmed with some effect
i've yeilowish lace, you have pretty cover
ing to bodice which may have seen its
best days. Besides they are very becoming,
the big bows under the chin suiting faces of
almost every age and style.
Always pass by bargains" which are use
less to you. 1t is often surprising to see
the JOY with which a woman purchases
something she does not need and will prob
ably never need just because it is marked
at figure that tempts her. An example
of this came under my notice few days
ago. A little housekeeper with fewer dol
lars than she desires Joined the rabble
around bargain table. She caught hold
of one end of piece of stuff she admired
only to find that another woman well on
the other side of the table and partly hid
den from view had seized the other end
They tugged at it, gared, and eventually
the little housekeeper had the better of the
struggle. Imagine her dismay when she
found that by gaslight the material she
thought green was drab and useless for her
purpoes. and that, moreover, she had lost n
pretty chatelaine III the crowd as well as
her temper.
Always burn the ends of the hair instead
of cutting them.
Always wash the face in very warm and !
then in very cold water. This has the eff |
feet of first thoroughly cleansing it, then |
hardening 1t so that it withstands rough |
weather without chapping.
Always battle the eyes in very warm wa |
ter when they are tired
Always when resting let yourself lie |
passive and heavy, even letting the Jaw /
drop. the arms lie by the sides, the hands |
open loosely. People who sleep with limbs |
twisted and teeth clinched are never more |
than half rested. The latter is a common |
falling in the nervous American tempera-
ment, but the devitalizing of every muscle
can be acquired, and the consequences are
beneficial beyond expression.
