Light Rubbing.

If your pumice stone Is soft and
fairly smooth, as it sometimes is, you
won't need anything else but a little
light rubbing over the hairy surface
But if the pumice stone is coarse and
rough, wet it little with soapy water.
and then rub it briskly and lightly in
| circular manner over the skin on
which the hair is growing. You will
soon wear off the hair and if you rub
lightly you won't irritate the skin II
you do, apply little glycerine or cold
cream.
Most people can use glycerine on
their hands and arms, though they can
not use it on their face, and it is a
good thing to have on ones wash
stand. for its constant use will keen
the hands very nice and soft.
Probably the main reason why the
skin of so many hands is so coarse
and ugly Is because people don't take
time enough to dry their hands prop
erly, but hurry over them as best they
may.
The little white spots on the nails
are due to poor circulation, and the
ridges on the nails come from excess
uric acid in the blood.
The white spots occasionally come
from bruises or bumps and then they
soon disappear, but when they are the

Preventing Dirty Nails.

| If one has any dirty work to do like
| polishing shoes. for instance. or the
kitchen stove and one can not save
ones fingers from getting dirty, little
grease or lard. rubbed around the
finger nails, will keep the dirt from
getting in them.
| After the hands have been thorough
| ly washed, they should be dried with
powdered starch, and sometimes it is
good thing to use oatmeal boiled and
strained, instead of using soap. Oat-,
meal makes the hands nice and soft
and so will almond meal or bran.
For the woman who has much house
work to do, there are various kinds OF
gloves to protect the hands while do
| ing it, and if she objects to the doors
which may linger on the skin, she can
remove the unpleasant odor by rubbing
them with powdered mustard or by
putting mustard in the water in which
she washes her hands.
! l have found that the best whitener
! for ordinary purposes is plain lemon
juice and the oil in lemon peel. This
softens the skin and makes it delight
ful to the touch
| When your hands are very rough and
| you want to get them soft in a very
short time, take a little sweet cream
cold cream, buttermilk or butter, wash
your hands thoroughly in warm water
| then rub in any one of these creams
! you may have, while the hands are
still wet Rub until there is nothing
| left to absorb; then wash off quickly
in warm water, just enough to do away
with the sticky feeling which is so un-
! pleasant. People whose hands chap
very easily ought to 90 this every time
they wash their hands, using an mex
pensive cold cream and a pure soap.
| have heard lots of women complain
That the use of grease in any form on
| the hand and forearm would make the
hair grow. Well. there is a simple
remedy for that. 1t consists of five
cent piece of pumice bought at the drug
store and rubbed on the arm in this
