NEW YORK, Feb 27.-Always give careful
attention to your hands At least once a
week visit good manicure and have the
nails shaped like filbert, as 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 we'll in unrelieved white.
Blends, 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 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 u bleaching process the hair
never regains it's 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 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 sachct
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 lissom and agile as
girl of IS. AS she confided to Il friend, he
| result is attained by constant exercise and
,li Cl, f
| 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 yard and Il
half of silk cut in two up the length, the
ends pointed and trimmed with some effect
I've yellowish lace, you have Il pretty cover
ing to a bodice which may have seen its
best days. ,.esides 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 woman purchases
something she does not need and will prob
ably never need just because it is mark ed
at a figure that tempts her. An example
of this came under my notice a few days
ago. A little housekeeper with fewer dol
lars than she desires 52ined the rabble
around bargain table. She caught hold
of one END of a piece of stuff she admired
only to find that another woman we'll on
the other side of the table and partly hid
den from view had seized the other end
They tugged at it, glared, 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 a
pretty chatelaine in the crowd as well as
her temper.
Always burn the ends of the hair instead
of cutting them.
Always wash the ;ace in very warm aud
then in very cold water. This has the eff
feet of first thoroughly cleansing it, then
hardening it so that it withstands rough
weather without chappng.
Always battle the eyes i'll 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
failing in the nervous American temporal
ment, but the devitalizing of every muscle
can be acquired, and the consequences are
beneficial beyond expression.
