THE HOME ITS PROBLEMS IND INTERESTS
HOW TO GIVE YOUR PLUMP
HANDS a SLENDER EFFECT
Much Can Be Done by Shaping the Nails Properly
and Keeping Them in Good Order.

Longing for lovely hands is natural
II is recognized fact that French
women possess the most beautiful
hands. The hand itself is neither too
fat nor too lean. but eo-actly in proper
ton with the long. slender. tapering
fingers. while the nails are of a beauti-
full delicate pink. their charm enhanced
by the pretty half moons at the base of
each.
With the view of learning the secret
of some of the beautiful hands I'm Paris.
1 once called upon the best known man
icure of the French capital. and asked
her to tell me her method of dealing
with hands which had grown thick or
fat with the fingers short and square.
In the first place. she said Il get
a basin of skin food. or soft. sweet oil.
and fill it until the hands are almost
covered. This makes the fingers soft
and oily, and after a time I lift them
out. and give them a thorough wash
ing with very hot water and very good
soap.
1T is no half-hearted washing, but n
real scrubbing. in which little flesh
brush plays an important part. 1t
takes fifteen minutes to shampoo the
hands as tt " should be shampooed;
for one part Of the process is to fill the
nails with soap, which must be rinsed
out with hot water. The hands are dried
and little skin food rubbed in. But
the most important part is in the dry
ing of the hands. In the method Of
drying you can tell a good manicure
from a poor one A poor manicure will
mop the fingers little. sOpping off the
water with cloth. But a good mani
cure works right the other way He

the skin al the back of the nail. He
keeps pushing and driving. all the while
pressing the skin back. until the base
of the nail IS revealed blue and pretty,
and the delicate little half moon shows.
Do Not Cut the Nails.
IF you want pink nails. a little rouge
is put upon the nail. and If you want
| them very bright, the polisher is used.
But if you prefer them dull, then leave
them just as they are.
How do I improve the fingers them
selves and make them slender and tap
ering? BY taking care Of the nails. 1t
( is a great mistake to clip or cut the
nails, il you want long, slender fingers.
The French women allow their nails TO
grow to a great length, and as they do
not keep clipping them, they become
very curved. delicate and extremely
pretty. Once in a while It may be nee
essary 70 trim the nails a little, but II

though one were trimming the eye

rs there not a great danger Of the
nails breaking"
Yes; but II a woman is careful, she
will slip on an old pair of gloves when
working I'm the house. The nails break
when opening a drawer; when one is
busting. handling ones toilet articles,
etc. But II a woman will protect her

On Keeping Young.

fully. Her hair was snowy white, she
was eighty s-ears old, and her energy was
waning: but she never impressed one
with the idea of age, for her heart was
still young in sympathy and interest
And this was her answer: Il knew how

TO master the art of saying pleasant

my friends. I kept my nerves well in

Wisdom of One Woman.

a certain woman who has a good
library and is always buying books and
music is very generous in lending both
to her friends Naturally she has found
that people are often more ready to
borrow than to return. so. in order TO
be able to lend without loss she has de-
vised a nice little plan. In a certain
album each borrower writes mis- or her
name opposite the title Of the book and
the date on which the book is Dor
rowed- On returning it the borrower is
expected TO comment on the book and
10 initial It. This album is naturally
quite interesting. and as IL is always
10 the fore, IL is often turned over BY
visitors, who soon see who is and who
is not prompt in returning books lent
The result is that the books are always
returned. and yet there are no irritating
reminders from their owner, whose al
bum is always kindly regarded

On investigation I found that the nails
had been clipped off at the side again
and again, until they formed no support
for the finger tips; and the flesh. thus
deprived of its natural nail. had sunk
down and was al soft and shapeless.
Il advise a course of treatment for
those fingers which never fails. I put

have them so encased as long as pos
sible At the end of two weeks the
nails would be long and the fingers well
grown out. The finger nail would also
be partly curved and the fingers would

Brittle Nails.
This would never have been accom-
plished had the corner Of the nail been
clipped and the cuticle cut
Women who have rittle nails should
rub a little vaseline into the cuticle
every night They should keep the nails
clear with hot water and soap, but
should avoid polishing them.
The polished nail, while pretty, is not
so durable as the dull nail. Polishing
Trims the nail: the more you rub it with
the polisher the thinner it becomes. II

Furthermore, don't let the polisher

the longer you soak your hands in hot
water the better they will look next
