TIL E. IMPORTANCE OF
BEAUTIFUL HANDS
Ways whereby Their Appearance may be
Rendered Attractive

one is called upon to do rough labor,
gloves should be worm The rubber
gloves are useful for those who have to
have their hands in water, and do much
to save the hands from the roughening
and reddening of such work. 1t is very
trying to the skin of the hands to put
them in hot suds and water and then
again into very cold water.
Those who do their own work should
be careful of their hands, not because
of the looks, but because of the comfort;
for homework done without due atten-
ton to the hands will, especially in cold
weather, cause them to chap and crack
and bleed. Much dishwashing can be
done with the little mops that come, or
with the dishcloth on the end of a fork,
SO that the hands need not be wet One
could write chapter on the proper way
of washing dishes in relation to pre-
serving the health of the hands
The Uses of Rubber Gloves
When the hands must be in water pull
on the rubber gloves. In sweeping and
busting, and in working in the garden,
wear gloves. 1t is good plan to grease
the hands we'll before drawing on the
rubber gloves Wear large gloves while
working, so that the hands will not be
cramped. Some wear mittens made OF
gray canton flannel.

One should learn to do manicurina
for ones self. It is very easy, after .
little practice. At first soak the nails il

ammonia haye been added. Then raise
the cuticle about the nail and push it az
far back as it will go. Trim the nail,
with the scissors (the small curved
nail scissors are the best), and then us,
the toughest side of the emery board;
which come for the nails, until they arc
shaped properly.
Manicuring at Home
Do not point the nails. I think it il
in very bad taste. Fingers thus tippet
with nails remind one of claws Use
blunt nail-cleaners or orange wood
sticks to clean the nails Never scrap,
them; it destroys the naturally polished
surface, and the nails will easily collect
dirt. If there are hang-nails, cut them
close to the skin, but above all thing.
do not cut the little selvage edge which
surrounds the nail. You will be troubled
with hang-nails if you do, and it will
make it raw and, bleed easily.
Rub plenty of white vaseline into thu
nails, or the carmine pomade that come.
especially for this purpose, remember
ing that it is not in good taste to MAKE
the finger-I1ails too pink with it. Their
take the nail-brush and with hot soal
and water scrub the nails, after which
you can polish them.

Speaking Tones

Speaking Tones
The full, free chest-tones should be
cultivated in speaking and the throat and
head-notes avoided The voice in speak
ing may be trained to be as flexible and
melodious as the voice in singing
Reading aloud is good practice, remem-
bering to open the mouth and utter
sounds clearly Words are not to be
slurred over, syllables are to be enun-
ciated carefully; vowels should have
their broad, full tones and consonants
should not be dropped.
Slovenly habits in speaking are in
closing the mouth and speaking between
the teeth. These bad habits, including
the hard, nasal tones, may be cured by
the simple and persistent practice, many
times day, of opening the mouth wide
and uttering the syllable oh from the
chest. No one can speak we'll who has
not the power to utter this sound freely
from the chest. Musical critics mean
this when they mention the pure and
free delivery of the voice"

srnoothness, need plenty of grease One
should have wide-mouth jar or bottle
of grease upon the .wash-stand, and
before drying the hands after washing
them, rub some of it we'll into the skin.
White vaseline and almond oil, mixed
together in equal parts, make a very
good lubricant.

If the hands are very dry, wear loose
gloves at night after rubbing some
grease we'll into them. The difficulty

Some use glycerine for the hands. 1t
should always be borne in mind when
using glycerine for any toilet purpose

therefore should be mixed with water
