THE hands need care at all times, but
in the winter they need more nourishment
than in summer. i take the hands in
cold weather and treat them as / would
rigors Of the frozen north.
Il massage them with oil until the skin
is pliable. l dip them in alternate baths
Of hot and cold water to make them supple.
l warm them to keep the joints small
and shapely and j continually shape
the finger tips to keep them tapering.
In this way keep the hands nice when
the hands is to look dry and yellow.
The fashionable hand OF winter is
covered with soft cream colored skin.
The skin is padded with a layer Of firm
flesh. The palm Is very rosy and the
tips of the fingers are pink. The hand
tapers from the broadcast part down to
the ends of the fingers.
This brings one to a study Of the
fashionable pose for the hands. The
fingers should show that they are tapering
and the hand should reveal its long,
slender lines, and this it a do only
when properly surrounded.

The tank In which the queen trigger

] title. two by two. Finally she rests her
hands upon something to steady them.
Irresolute, trembling hands or hands that
continually fldget are unattractive.
The present problem OF the hand cul-
turist Is to get a hand that matches the
gown. A pudgy hand emerging from a
long. tight sleeve presents a picture that
is discordant, but a long slim hand with
an arm that Is long and fashionable adds
much to q woman's appearance.
we are giving the nail the long pointed
shape this autumn. Fora time 1t has been
the fashion to trim the nails to suit the
shape OF the finger tips. but now all
nails must be pointed. The points are
blunt but sharply defined.
We take all fingers and treat them alike
so that the woman with square finger tips
has pointed nails like the woman with
tips that taper. 1t is difficult, but the
effect is generally good.
Twice a week the manicure must
train them and each day they must be
anointed with an oil to make them glossy
and something to make them hard.
Even with the best OF care the long
pointed nails do break OF. and when one
becomes broken all must be trimmed
down to mach. So it Is in keeping the
whole set exact that the woman must
be particular.
AT night she must wear q pair Of big
soft kid gloves and during the day she
must protect her fingers with channels
or other leather gloves.
I'VE color the nails in various ways.
1t is the fad to use the fruit juices. and l
have made a little coloring fluid with the
juice OF a few Strawberries and some
boiled water. The nails must be soaked
and scrubbed before the coloring is
applied, for the surface must be dull and
clean or the color will not take.
'Knuckles are difficult for the hand
culturist because Of the fact that they
are insistent. The woman whose knuckles
are prominent will have much trouble in
making the hand pretty. She whose hands
show too much knuckle bone should de-
vote Fifteen minutes at night to rubbing
a fattening lotion into the knuokles and
Ave minutes next day 10 making them
Pliable. This can be done by exercising
the hands.
'The hand must be long and slim if
one is going to b. fashionable and the nails
must be slender and tapering. As for
the color Of the hand. it must be a rather
white flesh tint, for only with q hand

which have appeared on the menus OF
fashionabb lunching places this summer
to describe the several ways Of serving
the popular cold egg.
While the cold hard boiled G has
long been known as a culinary decoration,
only recently II has taken a prominent
place among the luncheon dishes Of New
York, and even more recently still has a
cold poached egg been regarded with
anything approaching favor. But now
all this is changed end there are offered
hard boiled eggs set in highly decorated
espic and cold poache1 eggs masked In
chaud -froid sauce and bedecked with
elaborate designs cut from t%ruffies, red
peppers and bright yellow carrots.
One cold egg fantasy bearing the name
"Romanof" may be duplicated by any
hou sekeeper who cares to give the time
to it's preparation. As a luncheon dish
1t is attractive to the eye and pleasing
to tn g taste.
1t is a plain hard boiled egg. ice cold,
m ceased in aspio jelly, the mould being
a little fiuted patty tin. In each flute
is laid a thin silver Of some brilliant COL
ored vegetable, the usual combination
being red peppers, string beans. carrots
and white turnips. The aspio may easily
be made from canned bouillon and gela-
tine, highly favored and usually improved
by the addition OF a little Madeira or
sherry. To line the patty tin with the aspic
set the tin in cold water, pourin the aspic,
which should be OF about the consistency
of cream, and let 1t stand for a minute OF
two. Pour out all that has not adhered to
the sides Of the mould and In each little
indentation lay q silver OF some prettily
colored vegetable. alternating them so
as to produce effective contrasts.
II the general color scheme OF the table
Is to be considered n vegetable may be
used throughout, thus intensifying the
color effect. The bottom OF the mould
should also be decorated In some effec-
tive way. either with a star cut from a
trufie, with little dots Of the colored vege-
tables arranged at intervals as a border,
or capers or caviar may be placed so as
to show prettily at the top OF the mould

ete on end In the centre OF the patty tin
and all the mould with the remaining
aspio. IL tho egg projects too far cut
sufficient from the end so that 1t will stand
evenly when taken from the mould. :,
Cold poached eggs trimmed into an oval
or circle also make an ornamental dish
when coated with chaud- froid u and
decorated with some bold design OF crea-
cents, stars or dots cut from bright red
tongue, truNHes or q combination o. car
rots and green and red. peppers, Each
egg may be served individually on q couple
Of lettuce leaves or it may be laid in a
little 1uted case Of pastry which has been
thoroughly chilled,
The chaud-froid sauce Ii the everyday
white sauce used for vegetables served
in cream. To the ordinary recipe must
be added one tablespoonful Of gela-
tine to every tablespoonful OF butter
used, and the u must be thoroughly
strained before using. As oon as the
sauce begins to harden spread In an even
layer over the cold egg and when suhf-
eral costipgs may be necessary In order
to cover the egg.

The trouble was their shape. The

Her shoulders and arms were dressed in
