cut this cuticle with scissors The art
lies in keeping it rolled back without
spelling the shape of the nail
If the flesh is simply drawn back it
leaves a pale half moon, blush in tint.
II this is not carefully done it will leave
unsightly scars on the nail. Cold cream
should be massaged in and around the
nail three or four times a week: this
prevents the nail from becoming brittle
and splitting.
In many respects the hand should re-
mind one of a beautiful shell. The back
should be smooth and white and the
palm pink.
Pink ualms are the sign of youth. The
girl OF 16 has them, and the woman who
wants TO keep he'd hands from growing
old should study methods for making
them pink. The French woman rouges
them lavishly with a kind of rouge that
does not come off on her handkerchief.
Rubbing them with a rough Turkish
towel is a safe method.
A little cologne rubbed on the palms
will make most hands pink and perfume
them at the same time. A few drops of
oil of jasmine diluted with alcohol and
delicately massaged into the wrists will
scent ones sleeves and make the arms
mroe supple.
The women OF Europe display their
hands to much better advantage than
do the Americans. They express with
their hands what the American women
do with their eyes.
The ancients had the harp. which al
most seemed designed to display the
hands. The Spanish woman has the fam
with which she gives expression to her
moods. She also has the mantilla. by
means of which she shows off the white
ness of her hands. The French woman
has her wonderful lace handkerchief
The beautiful women of Venice are new
err without their flowers. Along the Med
iterranean women make free use of ges-
lures, the graceful movements of the
hands, and in this descriptive panto-
mime express their every mood
In far-away Egypt there is the coffee
cup. dainty and delicate, holding but
spoonful, but giving the Egyptian belle
an opportunity to display her hands.
Some appreciative man described his
hostess hands as white doves hutterng
around the coffee cups. Does this sound
like an American speech?

Care of the Hands,

| To be able to conceal the defects and
bring out the good points Of the hand
| is an art which women are always
striving to cultivate. The fingers must
be trained to show off their beauty
Even more-they must be shown how
to behave. The ill-behaved hand Is al
ways i'll al ease without showing the
good points which the well-behaved
hand has been taught to show
Some hands have defects which can
be hidden 1 have in mind woman
whose hands are too broad for their
length. They have the pudgy look which
gives one an idea Of commonplaceness
and poor ancestry. Now. this woman,
who happens to have the bIuest of blood
in her veins, is very sensitive about her
ordinary-looking hands. '"They are pos
ivtiley plebeian,' she confided to me one
day. They may look disagreeable to
you" said I, but I can assure you that
they are pretty hands-or would be, if
you knew how to hold them"
/ then placed her in front of mirror
to convince her by experiment Picking
UP one of her pudgy hands I placed il
in such 2 position that the forefinger
came just upon the tip of her chin. The
other fingers were curled under. That
is the Cleopatra, pose. The Egyptian
queen counted that one of her BEST at
titudes, if her casts are anything to go
by 1t certainly gave a classic length
to her forefnger and a beautiful line to
her wrist After some thought and
study this woman learned complete
control of her hands. and in a short
time they seemed to possess patrician
lines and grace.
Women neglect their hands and nails.
although ten minutes a day is the cost
of q welI-groomed hand. Surely it
should be easy TO spend so short a time
when such results may be attained.
All hands have faults. and unfortu-
nately. we get accustomed TO the faults
OF our own hands. The nail grows
crooked. one side is lower than the
other. the moons are irregular and the
nail itself is rough and corrugated from
too little use of the buffer. These de-
fects the owners may not notice.
Every woman can be her own mani
cure with a little practice and patience.
Nails must be trained to the proper
shape, which should be a trife more
pointed at the end than the moon at the
base-like an almond. This is done by
a good file which is smooth on one side
so there may be no danger of roughen-
ing the flesh under the nail.
After this is done the tips of the fin
gers are soaked in tepid water softened
with shaved soap and a teaspoonful of
borax powder. The a cut lime or lemon
is gently rubbed round the nail until
the cuticle Is soft. Again the fingers are
washed, and. with a small piece of cot
ton wrapped around the point Of a wet
orange stick. the superfluous cuticle
that has been allowed to grow around
the nail is carefully removed and the
flesh is gently lifted UP and pushed
back from the base Of the nail. Never

The Plous JACK TAB.
Life on the Ocean Seems to conduce
to Habits Of RietY.
From the Ave Maria

L rom the ave -h6Tl9.l
A story which it will edify our read
ers to hear has been told to US by a
near relative of the late Admiral
Franklin, L. S. n. He was a convert
to the faith, and seems never to have
lost his first fervor. His religion was
the greatest thing in the world to him
1.-The pearl of great price" for the pos
session of which he would have parted
with all else. A young lady, meeting
him in the vestibule of st. Matthew's
church in Washington, whittier he had
gone for his regular visit to the Blessed
Sacrament, remarked why, Admiral,
did not know you came here, too
Certainly, Miss -" was his reply
Il have to report every day to my COM
mander-in-chief. you know
What is it, we wonder. that is so con-
ducive to piety in a life on the ocean
wave? One of the most ptous persons
that we know of is an officer of high
rank in the japanese navy; and not
long ago an English admiral applied to
us for the best Life of a saint to whom
he has a special devotion One of the
sailors of the American navy, Chato-
lie chaplain, once said that many of
them were las pious and good as sem
inarians."

WITH CHILDHOOD GONE.

1t wouldn't be much of a world for me
With childhood only d used be;
1t wouldn't be much OF life to spend
We're love and laughter of child tC
end;
A dreary road and lonely way
With childhood gone from the land OF
play.
It wouldn't be much of a dwelling place
With childhood gone, and its April
grace
Dim and faded, and little feet
With their music lost from the field
and street;
No laughter heard, no fairy born.
No patering down on the steps of
morn.
1t wouldn't be morning at all or noon,
Nor fall or winter, or May or June,
Nor day or night or the even hour,
With no one folding little flower
Or childhood dream on mother-breast
While the twilight dTifted down to rest
1t wouldn't be much of a world to ma
With never a lightheart on my knee:
And the house would die, and the doors
would rust
And the stairs of morning fall in dust,
And dawn forget us, and laughter
come
Like ghosts of music on lips grown
dumbs.

THE poER.

Her hands were not soft as you touched
them,
Nor were they of delicate hue:
They were hard and labor had
smutched them
She had always SO much to do.
Others might idle in pleasure
The lingering hours away:
She never had a moment of leisure
Except when she knelt to pray.
She was IowIy of race, and no beauty
Nor riches she ever could boast;
And that was the way she loved
most
So unto the sad and the weary
The touch of her hand was as balm.
And the words of her comforting
CHEEKY
As sweet to their ears as psalm.
To those that were burdened with sor-
row
She came like an angel to bless,
With hope of a brighter tomorrow
When comfort should Danish distress.
So she lived only known to her neigh
bors.
Remote from the worlds busy ways;
And when she had ceased from her Ia
bors,
There were few TO mourn her or
praise.
But into the mansions of glory
Who can doubt of the welcome she
had
From the Master, who knew all her
story.
How she labored and loved and was
glad?

never be used in the beginning Of treat
ing q case of blackheads.
For the coarse, oily skin calnphor
water is good. Mix half an ounce of
borax and the same of glycerine into
half a pint of camphor water, not the
spirits. Wet the face with this in the
morning and let it dry; it is very heal
ing and helps to cure the oiliness. But
the softening and thorough cleansing
should be done every night without fail
If the skin is TO become refined in text
ure.
Warm water has to be used for these
oily skins, but a cold spray should al
ways finish: then the cold cream, well
rubbed in, helps to make the glands
soft SO they will perform their natural
functions of supplying just enough and
no more natural oils to the pores.
A mixture that takes the place of
soap in making d lather is half dram
of iodide of potassium in one ounce of
glycerine added to a pint of soft water;
apply with the wash cloth or the brush
and rinse off in warm, then cold, water.
