Special Care should be Taken with the
Hsnds OF Grow Ing Children.
No woman OF refinement will disre-
gard the appearance of her hands. be-
cause these useful members are al.
ways In evidence. and cannot be over
looked In the general estimate OF her
appearance. To certain extent the
care which a woman takes of her
hands indicates her character Con
trary to the popular Impression. soft.
white hands are dificult to attain, be.
cause nothing Of value is procured
without effort.
Red, puffy hands are often caused
by wearing gloves which are too small
or fasten too tightly.
The best gloves to wear are those of
animal skin. such as kid, buckskin and
doeskin. The hands should be OK
posed to the sun and winds as little as
possible, and hot water is sure to in
jure any skin, be II on hands or face.
Lifting heavy objects, excessive bicy-
Gle practice and wearing rings too
small inevitably result In disfigure-
ments.
Parents should take special pains to
care for the hands of their growing
children, for early neglect often de-
stroys the possibility of future excel
lence. In order to acquire a soft,
white hand, great care must be OBJ
served in the selection of preparations
and toilet soaps. Nothing exceeds the
quality Of pure olive soap Of Spanish
make; all highly colored and very fra
grant soaps should be avoided. Vio-
lent hand shaking is detrimental to
the hand. and is avoided by many peo-
pie in public life. George Washington
at public receptions always stood with
his hands behind him, simply bowing
with dignified courtesy
Mrs. President Harrison was forced
to refrain from hand shaking on ac-
count of the disastrous effect on her
hands.-Mme. Rowland in New York
