Care Of the Hands

Because a woman does housework
is no reason why she should have
rough, red hands, with carelessly kept
nails. If not for their looks, then for
comfort the hands should have some
care.
Dish washing will not hurt the
hands if they are not put into too
hot water and are washed and
rinsed well afterward and thorough
" dried. The woman who
does not have to work and has
plenty of time to take care of her
hands. soalSs them in warm water
every day before she trims her nails
and polishes them. After washing
dishes the hands are well soaked, and
IL Is q good time to give a few minutes
to trimming and cleaning the nails
and pushing back the cuticle to show
the pretty white crescents and prevent
hang nails. Never use a hard instru-
ment for cleaning the nails, as it
roughens them and makes them much
harder to keep clean.
One needs a pair of curved nail scis-
.sors. a nail brush and a fine nail file.
If the nails are brittle rub a little oil
or vaseline into them at night. After
cutting the nails rub the edges smooth
with the file.
If you wish to polish the nails a
polisher may be bought, or a piece of
chamois skin will answer the purpose.
There is a powder which helps the pol
ishing. but only a little should be used,
putting a little cold cream or vaseline
on the nail first and not rubbing hard
enough to heat the nail. After this
the hands should be washed, to re-
move all the powder.
If the hands are stained, tomato OF
lemon juice will usually remove it.
When pairing fruit, If strips Of cot
ton are wrapped about the foreingeI
and the thumb it will prevent stain
ing. and cutting also.
Children should be taught while
young to keep their hands tidy. The
habit of caring for the hands and OF
brushing the teeth cannot be formed
too young. for the effects will add
much to the personal appearance OF
both child and adult.

which promotes the industry of the is

towels, doilies, table scarfs and bed

Care Of Plants

There is scarcely household which
does not boast OF a palm or rubber
plant, and the following hints regard
ing their care by a prominent florist
will be of interest:
Fresh air and light are both most
essential for the health of the plant.
Goal gas is most injurious and
they should never be placed near regis
ters or CRATES, whether coal or gas is
used"
These are the most emphatic points
he made:
"The plants should be kept in an
even temperature, if possible, as ex-
tremes Of heat or cold are always
harmful.
CAS- to watering, which is really the
first thing Of importance, the plants
should always be kept moist.
1T would be Impossible to give any
regulation period for the watering.
For, as with the human family, so
with the plant; we cannot force them
to drink when they are not thirsty.
But never permit the soil around
the plant to become dry and never al
low stagnant water to stand in bottom
Of the jardiniere. Always remove water
not absorbed by the plant otherwise
the gases from the decaying water
will certainly kill it.
"Once every week go over your planaE
and sponge all the leaves, top and bot
tom.
IF you follow this advice you will
give the plants all the care necessary
TO keep them in a healthy, green con-
ditiOn.
"If you find the ends Of your leaves
becoming yellow or the plants looking
faded, you win know you are not fol
lowing the directions given"
