You can't work properly If you are

HANDS
BY ANNETTE ANGERT.

~ HE following exercise may be
practiced most any hour of the
day when one has leisure time
but the time to receive the most bene-
At will be at morning and night when
you are at home; then more time may
be devoted to 1t and you will also be
surrounded with necessary things to
make the treatment complete.
Before beginning the beauty exer-
else, on your way home secure some
cocoa butter, some olive oil and a
small vial of benzoin, also a jar OF
white vaseline.
OF course your hands are washed
before dinner, but after dinner, and
about half an hour or so before re-
firing, wash your hands, wrists and
arms with mild soap and warm (not
hot) water-hot water Is too severe
on the skin-it causes wrinkles to ap-
pear. After the dust, CRIME and pow
der have been thoroughly removed
from the pores. the hands and wrists
are then submerged into basin filled
with clear warm water; allow them
to remain SO for two to four minutes,
after which dry them with soft
towel.
Now apply liberal amount of CO.
Goa butter to the hands and wrists
which Is rubbed we'll with the hands
using a downward stroke, ending at
the tips of the fingers.
The cocoa butter not only feeds the
tissues, but it serves to neutralize the
drying effects of the soap
After you have prepared the hands
In the above manner, you have got
them In the best possible condition for
an active exercise: in other words
they have been awakened.
Begin by holding the arms at sides
and bring the hands up in front until
the finger tips meet; then raise the ell
bows until the forearms are horizon
tai and the palms of the hands meet
This should be repeated only eight
or ten times the first few times you
practice, but this number may be in
creased gradually and finally the ell
bows brought higher and higher
Your wrist at first will be quite
stiff, but In week or SO you will
wonder If the treatment and exercises
are continued if In time you will not
be able to lay the back OF the hand
on the forearm? But don't try that
l am not wishing to make contor-
ZIONIST out OF yOu-simply trying to
give your hands health and grace.
From the above position reverse the
hands SO that the backs meet; this is
done by raising the elbows. When the
entire length of hands have come in
contact with each other they are held
SO and the elbows lowered. then rails
ed and lowered for eight or ten times
This movement is the reverse of the
first and puts an entirely different set
of muscles on the stretch; in fact
muscles that have become stiff from
not being called into activity, and the
fact that the muscles are inactive
not working-the blood does not
course freely, which causes weakness

diseases such as rheumatism. skin
trouble, enlarged joints. etc.

~ UNICS are fuller than last year
futed, full In back and assume
their greater length there
Some OF the new effective fiouncings
are Of linen and they show floral pat
terms in blindwork, with an occasional
lace medallion.
The basqued coat and the basqued
gown are out in goodly numbers,
offering ample opportunities for rem
ovating half worn garments.
The silhouette remains slender, and
while skirts have increased in ampli-
tude on the hips, they still cling close
ly just above the ankles.
The gowns of the moment retain
the short square train, but the taste
for this cannot endure long in a day
that is essentially pratical in dress.
The oblong buckle of chiffon or silk
flowers, similar to those worn on hats
four or five years ago, is now quite in
vogue for evening slippers.
A stylish material Is an extremely
finely woven cotton crepe, which is
termed cotton crepe de chine. 1t Is
as pretty for evening gowns as those
for afternoon wear.
White dresses, trimmed with fancy
silks printed in the gay colors, will
solve the color problem for many
women who realize that they cannot
array themselves in costumes of many
colors.
Shoes with cloth uppers of almost
every shade are found in the shops.
The tops, of course, must harmonic
with, II not match. the gown with
which the shoes are worn.
The favorite costume of the season
is a suit of soft heavy silk. The coat
is usually lose and made on one of the
extreme models, while the skirt is
draped and slashed at the bottom.
In spite OF the humanitarian per-
sons who are trying to save the plum
age birds from destruction, the costly
aigrettes and paradise feathers con-
tinue the most popular and fashion
able millinery trimming.
A black taffeta parasol with gold
ribs has the edge trimmed with two

of the ribs is arranged a small bunch
Of black and white satin rosebuds
which also appear upon the handle.
A new train is cut with q wide
square end and the end gathered into
rather broad tucks. The tucks were

ironed down fat they were slightly
pressed the reverse way. so that they
gave the futed appearance that was
very attractive.
