There is a new way to manicure, and
q discovery has been heralded by those
who delve in the regions where beau
tvs secrets are hidden. 1t means a
great deal to the woman of poetic tenn
permanent and dainty habits
BY the new process of manfcuring the
myers are kept soft and fair and free
from STAINS The new process also
helps the cut'c'a, keeping it firm and
healing H. should it be sore. 1t does
away with al tendency to that trouble

Hnger tips. or finger tips that swell and
look angry in cold weather. 1t acts
upon the hands as vigorously and hap

1shed by the rev system of manicuring.
and rough, . I'd hands are gone, and
gone forever. as long as the new treat
ment is kept up.
Those who have deep creases in the
hands, those who are bothered with a
rough surface, running along the sides
on the fingers, those who have a coarse
rough, open grain, can all be benefited
by the new style of manicuring
Inc new treatment begins with one
pint of the oil of sweet almonds. slight
ly scented with a few drops of the oil
OF rose or any other agreeable per
tune This pint of oil can be pre-
served in a covered jar, for it is to be
used daily in the scheme of manicur-
ing. Take the oil and place it in ba-
sin that Will stand fire, and slightly
heat. Do not let the oil get on fire. |
Set it upon table and dip the finger |
tips in it. Hold them there at least
i've minutes, if possible. And, if the |
hands are in bad condition, set the !
basin of warm oil in a pan of hot wa |
ter and renew the hot water once or |
twice to keep the temperature of the
OIL high enough to heat the fingers.
The warm oil acts as healer. and.
at the same time, as a remover of the
nail and the cuticle. Being warm if
penetrates the skin and pumps it out.
Being pure, natural oil, it makes the
flesh bright and youthful looking. And.
being an oil which, by its nature
mingles, so to speak with all the
oils of the system, it is able to per-
meate the substance of the skin and
the substance of the nail, renovating
both and making them fresh and
youthful to a remarkable degree.
The fingers should be soaked in the
oil bath twice day, if one wants nice,
pretty hands, and the finger bath at
night should be given to the finger
tips just before one retires. so that the
oil can be left on the hands and al
lowed to do its curative work during !
the night
Nails that begin to look old-and. to

and, if the oil be persisted in, they t
can be kept quite youthful looking TO j

is in her teens and early twenties. y
they soon begin to grow aged. AT 30 a
a gradual and almost imperceptible S
change comes over them. and they I
slowly lose their shape and color. The t
SKIN rails away, and they become bony,
the veins show, the knuckles knot. and q
there is withered look that is far {
from pretty. Ornaments, such as finger
rings, bands of velvet around the wrist
and the like, only accentuate this pe- Y
culiarity, and the hands lie in the lap
q hopeless tell tale of advancing years.
with the oil treatment, time is put y
10 hight by many a year. The oil
acts as an emollient upon the nails
and 1t acts as a plumper 10 the fin +
gers. The skin loses that wrinkled
look, as of parchment, and the natural I
~ pink color returns to them.
