We will assume that you have not
taken as good care of your nails as
you should have done.
If you can't go to a f1rst-class
manicure and get started right, this
is the way to do it yourself:
Soak your fingers in water warm
er than tepid. Do not put soap in
the water unless you want your
hands to look as If you had been do
ing washing. Trim the nails close
ly at the sides, curving them to a
little more length in the middle, but
don't have them look like claws.
Bevel them with the file. Put the
orange stick into the Ivory soap and
cleanse the nails IN under and about
the edges, pushing back the cuticle
at the base until the half moon
shows. If the cuticle is ragged clip
it even with the scissors. II any ad-
heres to the nail remove it with the
cuticle knife.
You will never have those dis
agreeable hang nails if you keep the
cuticle free and veil pushed back,

KEEPING A LIST.

A custom that is gaining ground is
that of keeping catalogue of all
small belongings, such as jewels.
lace, fans, etc., which are not of an
exactly perishable nature,
Such practice is of great assist
ance to that harassed individual, the
lady's maid, and also a source of per-
sonal satisfaction when an article
one had imagined one possessed could
not be found.
Most women own so many trifles
more or less costly-pertainipg to
their toilet, that they hardly know
the number themselves.
A catalogue. to which special note
could be added when furs or blouses
were sent to the cleaners, would real
ly be a boon, and if descriptions were
included of valuable Jewels or lace
1t would become in time almost a
historical document.

but, nevertheless, it is doubtful IL

oath she would declare to be the most
precious article, using all her bou-

ever you will, and just now she Is
having all her silver or bronze or
brass belongings engraved with the
swastika design, which is said to be
one of the oldest and, of course, most
potent good-luck symbols known.
II is a simple design, merely two

already its popularity is unbounded'
and Jewellers are plying all their IN

When buttonholes on a skirt waist
are finished, sew on upper and lower
button. Then button and see that
the buttonhole hem evenly bveriaps

insert strip of cardboard the length
of the waist underneath both hems,
and with tracing wheel gently
press into each buttonhole. Unbut-

KEEP BILLS.

1t is well to keep every bill, paid
or not, for an indefinite period. One
never knows when mistakes may oc-
cur or when dishonesty may be at
tempted. The steel bill files are all
very we'll, though they are not re-
markable for their neatness or order,
but better way is to use a large
scrap book and paste the bills in al
phabetical order, according to the
names of those by whom they are
preferred, therein. If possible, 1t
would be well to prepare the leaves
like those of an address book. so
that it would be c .sy to find any bill
at any time. OF course, this is only
a cheaper homemade substitute for
a regular letter file, which Ia the
very best thing for the purpose.

10 turn the mattress make straps
of stout ticking and sew on both
sides OF the tick, using two loops on
both sides. This will be found very
| helpful to one in turning the heavy
tick mattress, which is quite diff
hcult task for a delicate person.
When ready to sew on row of
hooks and eyes place the two edges
of lining to which they are to be
sewed evenly together one on top
of the other, then take the tracing
wheel and mark places on both edges
at once. a
II the ruffles on silk petticoats be-
come ffimsy and trifle worn, cut Off
the fringed pieces and sew on the
bottom of each ruffie very narrow
picot ribbon. Place tho edge Of the
ruffie in the middle of the ribbon,
sewing at the top only, leaving the
lower edge to fall below the ruffe
edge.
Pillowcases will have their use
fulness prolonged If, when they be-
gin to show signs of wear, they are
unripped at the bottom and, before
being scanned up again, are folded
so that the seam at the side now
comes down the middle. In this way
the whole of the pillowcase gets an
equal amount of wear.
When embroidery begins to fray
around the edge, and the best pieces
will in time, it is advisable to place
the embroidery under the foot of
the sewing machine and carefully
sew several rows of stitching around
the scalloped edge. This will pre-
vent ravelings from appearing and
keep the embroidery good much
longer time.
You have two odd pieces of cres-
cent-shaped lace and wonder what
possible use they en- be in waist
arrangement. They will serve nicely
for the outline of lace yoke by
bringing the two ends to a point in
the center front. This makes neat
arrangement upon a silk waist when
the yoke is tucked and finished with
lace insertion. Again, these odd
pieces look well for a small bolero
effect, but they must be crescent in
shape, without any gathers in the
lace.

WHEN 1T is TOO LATE

After long separation the two
friends had met and parted; but
their individual thoughts, as the
train carried one of them swiftly
away and the other turned home
ward, were virtually the same.
Each regretted the kind things
left unsaid; each, when 1t was too
late, remembered all the sweet and
loving thoughts which had been left
unexpressed.
Why thought the one, "did 1
not tell her this or that or the 9TH
er? Why did ! let the minutes go
by In trivial conversation and say
nothing at all of the fact that nv
heart was running o--er with love for
her?"
1t would seem that some malev-
olent deity rules which keeps us from
saying the kind things or doing the
thoughtful deed while there is yet
time, and then reproaches us for our
oversight when it is too late.
What are the thoughts which are
strongest as the living look upon the
placid dead face in a coffin?
"Oh, that / had been kinder! oh,
that / had let them know that
loved them! Oh, for a few little min
utes given me that they might hear
how sorry am that was not better
friends to them!"
After any of the partingo of life,
whether they are temporary separa-
tions or those irrevocable good-bys
spoken of the side of the grave, when
1t is too late. we all wish we had
been kinder.

sors in the future, which is bad for
the skin.
Dip the orange stick into the per-
oxide and remove any stains that the
soap fails to reach. With the finger
put bit of paste on each nail. Dip
the polisher intthe lusterite and with
it rub the nails vigorously.
Remove any powder from under or
about the edge of the nails, wash the
hands and dry thoroughly.

After thorough manicure, which
should be done weekly, all you need
to do each day is to keep the nails

Put the milk In small tin can,
such as an empty cocoa can, and place
1t in basin of hot water. Move 1t
rapidly around. and in a. short time
the milk will be warm enough. When

would be better to heat water over
the blaze than to put milk directly
over fire, where 1t is apt to boil and
become unfit for baby's stomach.

A new waist Is called the Boule,
and is very becoming. 1t is usually
of embroidered linen and valencien-
nes and shows no visible seam, as
the waist and sleeves are put togeth-
er in one piece.
Many of the sleeves show bewitch-
ing puffs above the elbows, with
cuff binding it just below. This in
turn is supplemented by odd little
lace cuffs, which reach quite half
way down the forearm.
When plain tailored shirt waists
are worn by school girls care should
be taken that they are not too severe
in effect. Sufficient fulness should
be allowed to make the waists be-
coming to the immature figure.
For street wear young girls will
wear semi-fitting three-quarter
length coats with plated and plain
skirts. Heavy gloves in tan or gray,
hats very simply trimmed, and perky
bows are all the adjuncts needed for
correctly gowned school girl.
The short sleeve is destined to last
through this summer, but with the
first, fall frocks will come the long
ones-very long ones-for already
there are strong indications of this
shown in the creations which have
come over from Paris and Vienna
The most exclusive of the French
modistes are narrowing the skirts
around the bottom, and, in fact,
making them to cling more closely
to the figure below the hips than
they have been doing. The change
is being made almost imperceptibly.
BY winter, however, it is more than
likely they will be In full vogue.
A simple and effective skirt trim
ming is made of three applied bias
folds, each one two inches wide and
separated by its own width from the
one below it, the bottom fold set on
the extreme edge of the skirt. Each
fold is headed by a fold half its
width stitched on through the CEN
ter and gathered ever SO slightly.
The tunic skirt, without any pro-
nounced vogue of its own, has been
steadily advancing in favor for some
time, and the outlook shows strong
possibility of its increase in fashion
able costumes for fall and winter.
The latest manifestation of it is the
long, straight draperies hanging
short at the back and long at the
front of the skirt-a style that saves
the undesirable cut-into effect.
