Beautlfying the Hands

it will be infinitely more graceful than
II its full width and shortness are
allowed to be in evidence.
To use the fingers gracefully is a
matter Of only a little thought and
practice. Objects should not be
grasped by all Of them, but by the
first two and the thumb. Any object,
except those especially heavy, may be
easily held In this way and the slen-
der illusion is not dlspelled.
Moreover, 1t is not with the tips of
the fingers, but half an Inch from the
ends, that articles are grasped. 1t is
Impossible to use the extreme tips
without bending the middle joints and
to avoid doing this is the aim of one
whose hands are not pretty.
1t is a mistake to think that trim
ming the nails to extreme points will
give the fingers an appearance OF
slenderness at the tips, On the CON
trRry, II the digits are broad this fact
is emphasized by the contrast between
the shape Of the nails and the flesh
behind them. Nails must always be
trimmed with reference to the fingers,
and the anne outline must be fol-
lowed, modifying 1t. OF course, But
only a woman with long, slender fin
gers can afford to have pointed nails;
others, to look their best, must con-
tent themselves with filing in oval
shape, pushing back the cutlcle at the
base, but not cutting Ii. To do that
is to thicken the skin.

- Ew persons are born with
beautiful hands, but many
- can improve their fingers by
intelligent care asserts an
~ expert. One can't stretch
fingers into such shape. but one
can hold the fingers in position

This is done simply by bending the
fingers from the palm knuckles in
tea Of, as is common, from the mid
die joint. To make the break in line
in the middle is to foreshorten, and a
stubby aspect cannot fail TO result.
So important is the correct use OF
the joints for one who would rave
her hands attractive that I consider
these exercises worth practicing; a
TALLY close the hands by bending the
palm joints, the little and next finger
being slightly closer to the palm thar
are the next two. This will make the
hand appear slender by causing the
width to be slightly concealed. The
last two fingers are not really to be
bent; II is more exact TO say hat they

A simple rule for making mincemeat by
measure, calls for a pint bowl of well
cooked beef chopped to the finest mince
and measured after chopping, two bowls
OF tart apples chopped into coarse bits and

pound seeded raisins also chopped, a pound
currants, a quarter Of a pound of citron

HANDBELLs OF ALL KINDS
Many Lands and Ages Are Repre-
scented in an EnEIisbmRn's
Collection.

LONDON, Dec. 18.-An English woman
has the finest known collection of hand
bells. She has specimens Of foreign bells
from all over the world as well as antique
British bells.
The bells range in size from an old Eng
fish packhorse bell, which weighs five
pounds, to the tiny bells worn on shoes
centuries ago. There is an ecclesiastical
bell Of very early date with a fleur-de-lys
pattern on II.
Other specimens are an apostle bell,
which bears the faces and emblems Of the
evangelists, and two china bells of the
Georgian period, one formed Of a droll
figure in a FOOLS cap with hunting scenes
on the skirt Of his gown, the other a
specialized man in tall cap with a very long
forefinger touching his chin.
An Elizabethan bell shows a female
figure in a Medici collar and a wonder
fully fitted bodice with a basque. The
bell portion which forms the skirt is en-
graved in a conventional pattern.
There are models far more interesting
that the English bells in his collection
which will doubtless some day be placed
in an English museum. There are bells
from Rome which were found in the
Forum. One is Of silver, worked in fish
scale pattern, and is over a thousand years
old another is also of silver and has on It
a representation bf Romulus and Romus
and the wolf.
There is a bell from a temple near
Lhassa. 1t Is Of copper inlaid with gold,
and is Of great antiquity. A bell from In
dia is of silver latticework and is said to
be the only one of its kind in existence.
1t was found in Benin.
There is a Siamese bell in the form OF q
dancing girl enamelled in green and gold
which was one Of those used for barter
during the French invasion. There is q
Medici bell with the crown and balls OF
the ~pawnbroker, and there are bells from
the tombs Of Egyptian kings and from the
boudoirs OF famous French women. There
are hundreds and hundreds Of bells In this
collection gathered together by one woman
and shown on rare occasions to lovers OF
the antique, unique and beautiful.

USING GAS FOR COOKING
Where Some Of the Needless Waste
Occurs, Causing Large
Bills.

A gas stove may be the most economical
way Of cooking or the most expensive.
Many men have a rooted objection to them
owing to the increased size of the gas
bills. Some even go so far as to have them
ordered out Of the kitchen after they
have been installed.
1t rs a woman's own fault II such a
tragedy occurs. There is no reason why
cooking with gas should be more costly
than with a range. If It be it is from
carelessness or from not knowing about
gas saving utensils. The waste usually
comes when one has a maid to run the
stove. She should be impressed with the
fact that if bills are bigger the gas will be
turned off. The suggestion is usually
enough for economy.
In using a gas stove the flame should be
turned out as soon as it is not needed and
should not be lighted until necessary.
Matches are cheaper than gas. If there is
air noticeable turn off the key and relIght.
There is no greater waster of gas. After
anything comes to a boil turn down the
flame until the cooking is finished. It will
keep at boiling point as we'll as IL gas were
burning full head.
More gas is wasted in the oven than else
where. often one burner will suffice after
the oven has been well heated. 1t is Better
to run one burner than to turn too low,
as they frequently blow out.
Knowing how to arrange cooking Is
probably the best way to reduce bills. On
baking day, for instance, when the oven
must be lighted, plan to have baked maca-
roni, pudding and baked potatoes for din.
ner.
Cooking utensils should also be chosen
with an eye to gas economy. Pots in tiers
or arranged In triplicate will mean the
use Of one burner instead of three.
| When using the tea kettle, which takes
affixed time to come to a boil and must
be kept heated a long time economize by
having made for l. a flat lid perforated
with holes on the top. Thus supplied,
another dish can be kept hot, or things like
rhubarb or milk can be cooked on top while
water is boiling.
Another important item In gas saving is
absolute cleanliness of the parts of the
stove. Where the burners are clogged with
grease and dirt more pressure is need ID
to get results. not to mention the ~slovenly
housekeeping.
