To Whiten the Hands

Dear Miss Doom:
Will you kindly advise me what
can do to whiten my hands. Thank
ing you in advance, remain,
NJ. P, E.
The following lotion is said to be
excellent for whitening the hands:
strained honey, one ounce; lemon
juice, one ounce; cologne, one ounce.
Mix and rub well into the hands
at night, then wear a pair of large
Kid gloves, the palms split for ven
tilation.
Only proper care will keep the
hands soft and white in winter if
there is the least siuggishness Of
circulation, for unless the blood
flows freely cold temperature either
causes 1t to settle in the fingers
making them exceedingly red, or
prevents II from reaching them,
and 50 they become pinched and
dry.
Grease in some form is necessary
TO the beauty Of a hand. There are
many good cold creams on the mar
ket. Apply plentifully at night,
Tubing in well after the hands
have been cleaned thoroughly. Then
wear a pair of loose gloves.
A paste that viii restore red

from one ounce of powdered myrrh.

ounces Of yellow wax and six
ounces of rosewater. The wax Is
melted in cup set into a pan of

Modes of the Moment

In spite of the dominant idea OF
flare in the winter skirt-and the flare
of them is their most characteristic
feature, whether they be fashioned
of one layer or two, tunio wise
there are some evening frocks with
skirts that are looped up about the
hips almost like bustles. one on each
side. Usually these puffs are irreg-
ular-the one on the right side is
higher or lower than on the left.
When the frock is made OF tulle or
lace, roses, artificial. of course. are
used to accentuate the loop, where
they are garlanded over the puff,
says the Buffalo Express.
The V-shaped neck line is stiil in
evidence. 1t is, when everything else
is left out OF consideration, proba-
bly, the most becoming neck line
there is-some OF the great designers
to the contrary. To be sure as they
contend, IT does cut the figure. buI
what line doesn't unless 1t be the
line of neck affected by Mother Eve
herself? And the V-shaped line is
graceful and soft and still persists,
even in some of the last frocks that
were sent from Paris.
Fur is a trimming to be reckoned
with in the house frocks OF the win
ter. Many there are that have fur
hems-those of cloth, of tulle and of
velvet-and these are very effective.
Sometimes the long, flaring tunic is
so cut that nothing of the founda-
ton skirt but the wide fur hem
shows
Checked sports are still worn, with
the coming of cold weather. They
are made in every fabric which can
be induced to show checks. even in

tive when frost chills the air as they

Christmas Customs

Many countries claim that they
have given the Christmas tree to the
world. but its early days are so hid
den in antiquity that it is difficult to
say positively how It came to be. In
the days of the early people Of Europe
trees were associated with their vari-
Gus observances.
The pine tree was especially re-
vered, and during the winter 1t was
the custom OF the mortimer to hang
gifts upon that tree for their gods.
When Christianity descended upon
these heather people the idea of gifts
was translated into a custom where
offerings were made instead to the
Christian God.
Gift giving at Christmastide had
this early origin, and since the early
part of the nineteenth century the
Christmas tree and the spirit OF
Christmas have been inseparable and
will be for many years to come

THE princess Ermentrude and
her nurse stood on the stone bal

cloud of dust come nearer. After
a few minutes they could see the
sun shining on metal, and the nurse
said the metal was the lances and
