NEGLECTED HANDS
A Little Wise Care Might
Make Poems of Them.

Many women who are far from beautiful
yhvsically possess in their we'll developed
and cared for hands a most subtle charm
ana fascination. The hand tells much. Try
as one may to conceal natural instincts. the
hand oftentimes betrays them. In motion
or repose il mas an expression OF its own
which is not to be mistaken. The coior
the shape ana texture all tell their tale.
Hands are certainly capable of wonder
rul Improvement, far as texture and ap-
pearance are concerned. though no amount
OF treatment can effaco lines. There are
numerous splendid exercises for relaxing
and contracting muscles which naturally
tend to impart suppieness' and grace to the
hand. Much Of the daily work which falls
10 the lot Of woman, careful though she
may be, has a tendency TO soil. spoil and
almost deform her hands. Many house
keepers feel that IL they could just keep
their hands perfectly clean they would be
satisfied, as they have no time to visit
ulanicures for the fancy touches.
Cleanliness certainly is a most important
factor, but the washing can he overdone.
Too frequent washing keeps tha skin hard.

In the way OF food We. took a SOzen eggs
carefully wrapped. some bacon, lard, and
canned meats and vegetables. We also
took our rifles along, four hundred bullets
and fishing tackle.
On the first day GIonday) We arrived at
New Rochelle az about 9 80 o'clock. and
soon had our outfit stored in a good sized
rowboat which belonged to my friend In
fifteen minutes the boat grated on a small
sandy beach OF the island We were to Oc-
cupy After fastening the boat We found
a good place for the tent, set il up and
found a safe corner for our supplies. The
fun We had for the next three days would
nearly fill a book, and therefore cannot
say much about it. We shot at targets and
floating bottles, caught fish and had them
at our meals, and on the whole had the time
