1t is not given to every woman to
possess beautiful hands but it is within
the province Of almost everyone to
have welI-kept ones. And. after all.
what do beautiful hands avail, If they
are not well kept?
The housewife makes a plant in that
her work is such that well-kept hands
are hard to attain. for the frequent dish

cleanings. are liable 10 spoil their good
looks: but as a matter of fact. she IS
no worse off than the business woman
be she stenOgrapher, bOokkeeper. sales
woman. telegrapher OF whatever branch
of industry she finds herself in. for Of
fees are proverbially dirty. typewriter
ink leaves many a stain. books are dusty
and dirty. the endless handling Of goods
roughens up the skin, spoils the nails
and soils the hands. and the same rule
applies 10 the telegraph key. All work
Is more or less "of the earth, earthly, -
and hands need frequent cleansings
whatever the trade Jack or Jill is en-
gagged in.
Now. whereas the housewife may wear
gloves when doing her sweeping. dust
ing. stove cleaning Of she does IL, the
business woman has to keep hers un-
covered; dust her desk. mayhap, ma
chine. store fixtures and so forth with
out gloves. and endeavor TO get rid Of
the grit afterward as best she can, fol
while engaged in these wonanly duties
Of tidying up her services may be re-
ouired elsewhere at any moment. There
fore, the housewife has the advantage.

Eat Before Dining Out.

A thorough society woman. one who
understands herself. will take some
thing before going 70 a dinner party.
II may be just a cup Of hot tea, per
haps n stimulant in the way Of a cup
Of black coffee. or. better than all. Il
cup Of hot milk and a biscuit. This
braces up the nerves. stays the stom-
ach. and keeps the body well nouT-
shed until II is time for dinner.
The woman who sets out for a formal
dinner party without eating anything
before she goes runs the risk of faint
ness and dullness before the dinner
hour. She IS certainly much less alert
than the one who takes a bite before
starting out.
The most successful beauties are those
who do not eat a great deal at a dinner
Iarty. They take a bite Of this and a
taste OF that. but nothing more They
do not pretend 70 do more than taste
the dishes. and they are rewarded for
their abstemiousness by the brilliant
complexion. the clear eyes, and the
sharp wits OF the woman who is a;
Peace with her digestion.
Great beauties eat very little. and
what they do eat IS OF the simplest and
most nOurishing sort. While they never
efuse delicacies. they do not eat heart
ily Of them, reserving the appetite for
the simpler and more nourishing viands.

STAND WELL AND
LOOK STYLISH

Elizabeth A. c. White, Of the Dress
makers Protective Association, who IS
claimed as one Of the best authorities
on dress for women, has a clever
method Of her own for developing the
figure Of the would-be stylish woman.
THAT dress makes the woman is as
old as the hills, but il takes more than
beautiful gown 10 make fine figure. ~
declares the criterion of female attire,
and a fine figure is essential to the
well-dressed woman.
I fit my customers every line and
curve, but in nine cases out Of ten not
the lines and curves they possess when
they first come to me-" continued Miss
White, whose own Tines" and curves
are all that they should be.

herself properly and wears the right
support: and to do this does not take
a whole series Of lessons in physical
culture, nor valuable time spent in very
much exercising. II I were 70 attempt
10 make gowns for she majority of
physical wrecks that come 10 me
would lose my reputation as a irst-class
dressmaker.
Some one has said that most women
are deformed. one hip higher than the
other, round shOuIdered, etc; but these
so-calIed deformities are. as a general
rule, self-made. and the easiest thing
in the world TO remedy II handled prop
erly.
Now, then, stand up, don't slouch
