beautiful hands, and there never was
a millionaire whose wife had ugly fin
gers. When a man has million dol
lars he looks for nice pair Of hands
and he will not be happy till he gets
them. A hundred instances can be
pointed out to prove this assertion
and single cay to the contrary is
not known. Women who have caught
millionaires have in every case had
the most charming Of hands. Some
times the hands have been almost
their sole claim to beauty.
Hands that have won millionaires
have been plump, expressive hands.
The thin, wiry hand has few admir-
ers The practical hand is the one
that wins out in the race Of life.
The ideal hand for millionaire is
the capable hand; 1t is the hand that
can handle a million as we'll as win
a million. It should be of medium
size, in full proportion to the figure,
and 1t should be well shaped. The
'sfngers necessarily need not taper. but
the nails should be long and filbert
shaped. This hand-the plump, white
hand, with its pretty pink nails-is
: the hand that captivates. A man is
willing to isiss 1t, and he generally
loses NO time doing so.
Then there is the ideal childish
hand, and 1t must be admitted that
this is the hand that is most desirable,
for 1t Is SO feminine. It is trife
small in proportion to the body-it
looks small on account Of its shape
and 1t is perfection.
The fingers are fat and they taper
1 to a point where they are tipped with
halls all pink, with silvery moons at
the base. And the back of the hand
is fat, with row Of dimples along
the tops. There are no knuckles. In
place of knuckles there is line Of
dimples. This hand is lovely, partic-
ularly If it be soft and white. But 1t
Is not an intellectual hand.
Seek Women Of Brains.
The millionaire, when he goes wife
hunting, wants woman Of brains.
She need not wear them in her COM
mon sense shoes and she need not
display them In a pair Of aggressive
bonnet strings, but she must have
them Just the same. Millionaires want
brains more than any other class Of
men. 1t has taken brains to make
a million, and now there must be
brains to share the million! And the
hand must show some intellect as well
as the face.
The hand Of Mrs. Clarence Mackay
is one of those hands you read about
In novels. It is absolutely perfect in
shape and Its outline shows intellect.
1T is the even white hand Of Miner
va. Mrs. Mackay's hand reminds you
of marble hand, 1t is so white and
80 perfect It Is not small, but 1t Is
shaped In the most classic manner. 1t
would be impossible for the owner Of
THAT hand to be commonplace or tame.
Mrs. Mackay's hand is historic. 1t
was described years ago by his
torian who wrote up her ancestress,
Mrs. Kitty Duer, belle of Washing
tons day.
When Mrs. W. X. Vanderbilt, Jr.,
caught millionaire with almost as
many millions as her own the COM
ment was: "He fell in love with her
hands" They are Of the little, pa
Ithetic type, white and helpless look
ing, like the hands of a baby, and
almost as plump. They are groomed
exquisitely always, and malicious per-
sons have accused Mrs. Vanderbilt of
! wearing gloves at night I'm no other
way could she keep their color SO
perfect they say. Her hands would
be useless hands were It not for the
shape Of the fingers, which are heavy
where they join the hands. When the
fingers are heavy 1t denotes force Of
character and also a good disposition.
The girl with beautiful hands should
display them. They are her most Of.
fectiye weapon. She should show
them OF all that ia possible, and II she
ben wise girl she will cultivate the
trick of having q little table Or stand
~ something convenient upon which
