Take Proper Manicuring
implements on Vacation

When the sights and sounds of home
are left far behind, when a city seems
as far away as the moon, when the sum-
mer vacation has actually begun, there
are regrets, generally for some of the
comforts OF home" The needle spray
that is in your own bedroom seems, on
some warm day, far more convenient and
refreshing than even the tossing ocean
waves, the hammock in your own door
yard holds more promise of peace than
a walk in the pine woods, perhaps These
traitorous regrets are generally only
short lived. The vacation soon again re-
gains its rightful pinnacle.
There are always some things lacking
even in the most carefully planned trip
some little comforts or conveniences
that every one longs for. One of these
is the professional manicure. She may
be found, of course. at the big summer
hotels even when they are located in a
wilderness, and she may be found in the
more popular summer resorts. But where
is she in the country farmhouse. the
camp, or the quaint little way-back viii
lage that attracts so many vacationists?
She is not there, and the only way to
keep from missing her is to go prepared
for her absence.
Need Not BE Numerous.
To begin with, take the proper mani
curing implements and preparations. II
these are carefully chosen, they need
not be many. A pair of nail scissors, an
orange wood stick, a good steel file, and
buffer-these are all the really neces-
sary implements. Benzoin, vaseline, or
cold cream, powdered pumice stone, pol
ishing powder, and lemon juice are the
only preparations which are needed for
a really careful manicure.
No matter how many times you have
had your nails manicured by a profess
sional manicure, you may not know how
to do the work yourself. To begin with.
IL the nails are not dry and brittle, trim
ana nIe them into the desired shape.
Then soak them in a little basin Of soapy
water, to which a little tincture of ben
zoin Is added. II the nails are brittle,
soak them slightly before trimming and
fling them. After they are soaked and
trimmed, push back the scarf skin with
the blunt end Of an orangewood stick.
Never cut this skin which 30 persistently
clings to the nails. The professionals
often cut Il. but that Is because they are
more interested n making the nails LOOK

evasion is worse than direct refusal to

curiosity in the mind OF the young ques-

less pure source.

ness with health, thousands Of little
helpless children who come into the
world cursed with hereditary diseases,
thousands Of young men and young

the truth in showing their children the
light"
Every child has a perfect right to go
to the keeper OF his or her young life
with questions concerning the things
they do not know. and they have just
as perfect a right to a truthful. enlight-
ening answer to their questions
But don't imagine because your little

that she is ready for all the knowledge
which you have gained through all the
years of your life. and don't make the
mistake of crowding her inquiring mind
with information for which she is not
ready.

more knowledge. for the young mind
turns information gained over many

promotion of that single moral standard
which should exist for men and women.

by Mr. Bennett throughout the country
next fall is calculated to have a far
reaching influence in the breaking down

majority Of mothers.
But that such a course is necessary to
make them see their duty toward the
children to whom they give life is their
shame.

Actor-Producer Makes Plea

BY JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

Those who saw damaged Goods -
Brieux's dramatized sermon on eugenics,

New National Theater, must have been
impressed with the profound character
OF the man who would venture such an
