uneared for Nails.

There cannot be a beautiful hand
with uncared for nails. Nails ought to
be slightly arched and only long
enough to extend as far as the flesh
terminating the fingers. They must
be well polished and of rosy hue.
The white crescents or half moons
seen at the base of most nails should
be developed by pressing back the
soft rim Of flesh. which. unless kept
back, will grow over them. This can
ordinarily be done after washing the
hands, using the thumb nail of each
hand and the towel to crowd the rim
downward and away from each halt
