The fumes given out by a large

are quite as overpowering and danger
Gus as those OF any strong alcoholic

HAND REQUIRES CARE
NO DETAIL OF THE TOILET is

Even Where Nature Has Denied
Beauty Much May Be Accom-.
plished by the Persistent Use
Of the Proper Lotions.

A pretty hand. well kept. with nails
brilliantly polished and trimmed. is q
greater ornament TO woman than
the most priceless jewel. Even a com.
monplace hand can be made attractive
looking by careful treatment. There.
fore the girl to whom Nature has de.
MED taper fingers and an altogether
model hand can take heart OF grace,
and so improve on the commonplace
that her hands and nails may excite
admiration and envy.
II the skin Of the hands is rough. Il
can soon be softened by the applica.
ton OF well-chosen creams or lotions
and the use OF soft water for ablu.
uonal purposes, care being taken to
dry the hands thoroughly every time
after washing. Neglecting to do this
Is the cause of many a rough-looking
hand, and encourages chilblains. The
first thing 10 do in treating the hands
Is TO get the skin soft and the fingers
pliable.
Hands that are inclined to be red
and rough are often benefited by be-

liquid to wash with night and morn.

the oatmeal. the whitening effect OF

the hands white. some women sleep
In gloves smeared inside with melted
tallow.
Five or ten minutes given to the
toilet OF the nails every day and an
extra 20 minutes every week will keep
them In good order.
To keep the finger nails clean the
nail-brush and soap and warm water
should be used daily. and every time
the hands are washed the free edge OF
the scarf-skin, which, IL not attended
to. is apt to grow upward over the
nails, should be gently loosened and
pressed back In neatly rounded
form, by which the occurrence OF
cracks, hang.nails, etc. about the
roots of the nails will be prevented
and a graceful oval form and the dis
play of crescent.like space OF white
will be ensured. This scarf-skin ms

on no account be torn or picked of

recommended. the better.
Very often finger nails are disfigured
by dark coffee-colored rims that lie
between the nail and the flesh sur

moved at once with strong cleansing
fluid. for it mars the beauty of the
