As soon as she has conquered them. as to
their motions and movements. she has
given them charm which they did not
have before.
1t is said that the beautiful hands in life
are those that are most useful. But do you
believe It?
All useful hands are not beautiful hands.
But there is no reason why they should not
be so.
Take the woman with hands that are
thin. absolutely bony. skeletonesque. with
knuckles that stick up and veins that stick
cut and bones that show Inside and out.
Such hands can be pumped. but II Will take
a great deal Of massage and a great deal
OF skin plumping foods and 1t Will take a
special diet.
Such hands should be incased in coo!.
loose gloves well lined with fattening
paste at least three nights a week: and
their owner should keep the gospel OF cold
cream in her mind and frequently rub her
hands with some paste that Is quickly ab-
sorbed by the skin.
Remember that fats can be rubbed into
the cuticle and that hands that are very
thin can actually be pumped by simply
rubbing them with the right kind Of plump
ing food as often as possible.

And It begins with hands that are awls-
ward.
The hands Of most people are awkward.
The exception to this is the hand OF the
piano player. which is usually a very grace
full hand.
Another exception is the hand of tho
singer and another the hand OF the actress
and the hand Of the society woman.
All Of these people have hands that are
simply exquisite in their grace.
OVER THE TEACUPS.
The society woman will make you a cup
OF tea in a way that makes you think tea
making a bit OF poetry in ITSELF
She will defdy arrange the tea service and
Drew the potion. putting in the sugar and
the lemon with a grace that is fascinating.
Over the teacups her hands will hutter
like white pigeons and you will drink your
cup for the very sake of seeing her make
another one.
The reason for the grace Of the piano
player and the grace OF tho actress and
OF the society woman is that all Of these
people Practice hand exercises.
II you could see the society woman when
She is not on duty. you might catch her
taking course OF physical culture lessons

stretching them as though she were knead-
Ing dough. She will lift her hands and
touch her fingers in front Of her face SO
that She can make eyes through them.
She Will make frame of her hands and
peep at YOU through the frame. She will
stretch her fingers to tiicir utmost

But this cannot be strictly true, for the
finger tips of the proudest dame living are
known to spread: and. in these degenerate
days the finger ends of the best -blooded
woman In the world may be pump and
round and almost knotted.
the woman who finds her finger tips in
this shape should indulge in course of
physical culture for them and with them
She should exercise the entire fingers
without exercising the tips
This Is done by opening and shutting the
hands. interlacing the fingers and stretch
ing them out as widely as possible
As for the tips, they will really grow
smaller IL let alone, but letting them alone
Is difficult.
The corners Of the nails should be al
lowed to grow out, as they support the
flesh at the sides Of the finger, and IL
these corners can be left undisturbed. the
fingers will really begin to grow taper.
As soon as you .'ut the sides Of the nails
you rob the finger tips OF their support
and the flesh begins to sag down. and this
makes the finger tips coarse and chubby.
The nails can be worn pointed. II you
please, but you must not shave the cor
ners down close or you will certainly make
the ends Of your fingers large and knobby.
The rule for making large knuckles small
begins with the Pumping Of the hands.
This alone will tend to make the knuckles
disappear.
The next rule Is that the fingers should
not be strained or pulled. for the swapping
of the Joints will have the effect Of making
them knotted In appearance.

She will open and close her hands and she

Then she will open and close them with

The actress will take seriea Of Delsarte

the arms and fingers.
The latter are exercised right down to
the very tips
The actress with the pretty hands will

palms turned out, the fingers interlocked
She will stretch them backward to exer-

A GRACEFUL HAND.
The hands should be exercised every day
TO make them graceful. for the hands. like
the rest of the body. will not be graceful
unless they are trained in grace.
An awkward hand Is like an awkward
pooy. of no beauty at all.
But II you make the hand graceful II Is

esin with hands that are well shaped by

begin with hands that are well shaped by
nature.
If your palm is plump and pink and taper
ing little toward the wrist. with dear
little cushion near the thumb, then you
| have something to start with.
II to this you can add that your fingers
are long and slender. tapering each toward
the tip as though thimble-shaped, then you
have something else at which to rejoice.
And II to this you can add a covering
Of pretty pinkish white flesh, then YOU
may indeed be thankful. for you have the
beginning Of that which is a very great
attraction to any woman-namely a pretty
hand.
But how many people have good hands by
nature?
In the cradle all hands are pretty. But
a. soon as the girl is out of tho cradle she
begins to suck her thumb. and when the
thumb days are over she takes to cutting
and hacking her finger tips.
Often she ruins them by pressing down
upon the cuticle. making great dents in the
base Of the nail and causing the same to
grow crooked forever afterwards.
The white spots upon the nail are scars
caused by the cuticle knife or the orange
wood stick.
Again, she abuses her fingers by constant
scrapinE underneath them. utterly spelling
the nail by pressing 1t outward and making
it grow wide of the finger.
If girl has been guilty of such indiscre-
ton toward her hands as this she can only
remedy the evil by cutting the nails very
closely. way down into the flesh. and an
plying vaseline profrsely to the finger tins.
She must now put on gloves and not re-
move them. any moro than necessary. until
the nails have grown out.
This will result in a set Of nails that .r.

white and ragged.

- HE woman with homely hands is
generally content with keeping
" clean and well groomed.
When she has done this she
feels that her duty toward herself
and her hands has ceased.
Now, there is no denying that perfect
cleanliness is a great aid to beauty 30 far
as the hands are concerned, and that a
grimy hand is never pretty.
But there are very few women In the
world who are neglectful as far az these
points are concerned.
And there is no gainsaying the fact that
good grooming in many cases makes a nice
looking hand.
But neither washing nor grooming will do
everything for a. pair Of hands.
There are q great many women who would
on no account be guilty of grimy hands
and who manicure as religiously as the sun
rises. but who have. nevertheless, very
homely hands.
Homely hands come under one of several
classes.
And many a pair Of homely hands coma
under all the different Grades Of possible
LONELINESS.
Hands that are too thin are not pretty.
Hands that are knotty a. to the jcints are
not pretty.
Hands that are heavily ve,ned upon the
back are not pretty.
Hands that are too thick are not pretty.
Neither are hsEds pretty that are red.
speckled. tanned on the back knobby in the
fingers or rough.
It Is safe to say that physical culture win
do more for the hands than any other one
thing on earth.
Hands that arc uneven IN shape, hands
that seem to have gone astray a. to their
taper qualities and hands that have q
strained. painful look can all be made love
ly with the aid Of physical culture.

Killed in His Cab.

Fireman J. B. Howard of a B. &
O. Royal Blue train discovered
that engineer J. Walter Furley
was dead in the cab of his engine
Saturday night, as the train was
approaching Foy's Hill. The en-
gineer's body remained in an up
right position with the head out of
the window and it was not until
his fireman had taken hold of
the throttle that he discovered
Furley was dead. Examination re-
yealed an ugly wound in the side of
the head. Furley's cap was found
near a signal post just west of
Childs station, where the last stop
was made, and it is thought in
leaning out he struck the post. 1t
is also surmised that he struck a
small crane or mail catcher at Leslie
station. The deceased was As
years of age and had been an en-
gineer on the B. & o. railroad for
twenty years. His home was at
Elkridge, Howard county, where
he has several grown children
living.
