HANDS
BY ANNETTE ANGERT.

vEA 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-
fit 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-
tiring, 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 a basin filed
with clear warm water; allow them
to remain go for two to four minutes,
after which dry them with soft
towel.
Now apply liberal amount Of CO.
eoa 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 1t 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
lows brought higher and higher.
Your wrist at first will be quite
stiff, but in a week or SO you will
wonder if the treatment and exercises
are continued if in time you will not
be able 10 lay the back of the hand

ZIONIST out OF you-simply trying to

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

gown are out in goodly numbers,
Offering ample opportunities for rem

The silhouette remains slender, and
while skirts have increased in ampli-

the short square train, but the taste
for this cannot endure long in a day

White dresses, trimmed with fancy
silks printed Ill the gay colors, will
solve the color problem for many

Shoes with cloth uppers of almost

The tops, of course, must harmonic
with, if not match, the gown with
which the shoes are worn.
The tayorite costume of the season
is a suit of soft heavy silk. The coat
is usually lcEe and made on one Of the
extreme models, while the skirt is
draped and slashed at the bottom.
