FINE HANDS MATTER or CARE
Must Be Constantly Attended To, but
Effort 10 Worth the
Making.

It Is not an easy matter to have
hands that are always soft and white
and nails neatly trimmed and pol
ished, especially for the housekeeper
who is obliged to do most OF her own
work. This woman should apply cold
cream nightly, particularly about the
cuticle around the nails, to prevent
hardening and drying and ultimately
producing hand nails.
When washing the hands, one
should never fail to press back gently
: the delicate selvage-iike edge around
the roots OF the nails; by doing so
the lMnula or little whitish half moon
at their bases is brought into prom
inence. Sometimes the edges OF the
cuticle will have to he cut little
with a nail scissors II 1t has become
ragged. But do not 40 this unless II
Is positively necessary. for II the cuti-
Gle is pressed back while the hands
are wet. 1t grows symmetrically and
makes delicate setting for the nails;
ii the skin is LETT to grow around the
nails, 1t leaves an unsightly appear

EVIDENCES OF TASTE
DRESS ACCESSORIES ARE T,+E
THINGS THAT COUNT.
Scarf May Be Used as an Example
sCoIored Handkerchief to Match
Suit or GoWn--Short Skirts De-
mand Fine Stockings.

This Is the age Of the accessory in
dress history, 1t is by the accessory
that the wearer's refinement Is ex-
pressed. The woman of no taste what
ever may make a presentable appear
ance SO long as she wears just what
her tailor and dressmaker give her.
but let her loose among the little extra
things which her clever and well-bred
sister chooses so we'll and she betrays
herself at once.
I The scarf is foremost among today's
little dress Injuries. Time was when
the wearer Of one of these airy moth
tngs met with stern disapproval. She
was suspected OF trying to be artis-
tic, which was once considered quite
bad form. But now every welEdressed
woman has whole range Of them
carefully laid away In her favorite
perfume sachets, and Is out at the
sales buying more
There are lovely examples In all the
shops, from the useful tribes In plain
or shot ninon to the painted or bead
embroidered crepe de chine ones ttat
are wide and long enough to be caught
up into cloak for evening wear.
There is quite rage for the coll
ored handkerchief Now that mere
men are having their handkerchiefs
to tone with their socks and neckties.
the smart woman has hers to match
her linen suit or her embroidered
gown.
The Importance of the stocking Is
one of the most interesting circum-
stances of today's dressing, and II Is
really difficult to find whether we got
such pretty stockings because of our
short skirts or we shortened our skirts
to show our hosiery. And stockings
are among the articles In which one
may plunge" without fear at sale
time. One can scarcely have too many
pairs-especially during the holiday
and visiting season, and they cannot
become questionable - at least 30
far as shape Is concerned.

the extravagant statement, for it is

SUPREME COURT
 CANNOT ASSIST

Washington, October 31.-The supreme court of the United States today declined to grant the request of the commonwealth of Virginia to speed the cause in the commcnwealth's suit against West Vir- ginia to compel it to pay portion of the ol1 debt of the Virginia commonwealth.
 Last March the court arrived at the conclusion that West Virginia's share of the $93, ,000,000 Virginia debt in the eos was $7,s21 600. At that time the court said many figures must be ascertained or agreed upon before final decree was en- tered principally in regard to interest and with the suggestion that "great states have temper superior to that of private litigants" brought conference between the states to settle the matter.
 The court today, speaking through Jus tice Holmes, found that West Virginia, as a state had not yet shown that it was not proceeding, with all deliberate speed.'
