is TRYING SEASON
CARE OF HANDS A DIFFICULT
PROPOSITION IN WINTER.
Nevertheless BY Taking a Few Sim
pie Precautions 1t Will Be Found
That the Task Is by no
Means Impossible.

Now is the season of the year when
women begin to worry about the con-
dition and appearance of their hands.
In summer they seem to take care of
themselves, but when winter comes
and the air is cold and sharp they re-
quire good deal of looking after.
No woman should neglect her hands,
for, II she only knew it, they are
really her greatest charm.
Do not say that as you do your
own Homework you cannot expect to
have pretty hands, for that is no ex-
cuse at all. There is no denying that
scrub water is exceedingly bad for the
hands, nor that in busting the dirt
gets clogged into the pores and under
the nails. But you do not have to
plunge your bare hands any more into
the d1sfiguring dish water; you can
wear rubber gloves when you wash
dishes, and also when you wash win
dows and scrub. There is never any
necessity any more for putting your
hands into dirty water of any kind.
The gloves should be thoroughly
washed after having been used with
clear warm water and soapsuds, both
inside and out, and hung out In the
air to dry. The hands should also be
washed thoroughly, not merely dab
bled in the water and out again
for this only grinds in the dirt-but
they should be lathered we'll with soap
and warm water and afterwards rinsed
in clear water. Partly dry with
soft towel, then rub in a little cold
cream, just sufficient for the skin to
absorb. When the hands are COM
pletely dried powder them with tai
cum powder or with a preparation
composed of prepared chalk, rs parts;
zinc oxide, 25 parts.
Never expose the hands to extremes
of hot or cold water. Use soft rain
water, or, If this is not available, put
in few drops Of ammonia or a pinch
of borax to soften 1t. A few drops of
benzoin also has the effect of soften
ing 1t. Never use anything on the
hands but a pure soap.
For busting use pair of old gloves
| belonging to one of the men of your
| family. Rubber gloves are too clumsy
for this kind of work. Gloves should
always be used for sweeping If you
would avoid unsightly and painful
| blisters.
After taking them off always beat
them out of a window in order to in
sure that every particle of dust Is
removed from them, and If you should
get them wet, rub them with a little
cosmoline and let it dry in.
In washing, of course, you will not
wear the rubber gloves, because they
would be In the way in the first place,
and in the second you will not need
them as the water will be clean. II
the skin rubs off your fingers, use
either glycerine or zinc ointment, and
do not expose the sore parts to water
any more than you can help until
they are healed. Do not tie your
fingers up tightly in a wad of rags
and an old glove finger, for this keeps
the air from the sore and thus In
creases the length of time required
to heal.
If you should burn your hand, apply
salve composed of so parts -four
and 90 parts vinegar. This will pre-.
vent it from blistering, The white OF
ali egg Is also good.

How to Wash Laces.

Make a lather Of good soap and hot
water, then squeeze the lace through
and through the latter several times,
