BEAUTY OF HANDS.

TT HE first requisite in the care Of the
hands is to have the nails properly
manicured. This can be done almost as
wefl as by professional If one knows
Just how to go about it and is willing
to take the little trouble it necessitates.
The nails should first be trimmed with
manicure scissors or nail clippers, and
filed the proper shape, which depends
somewhat on the shape of the ends OF
the fingers. Then have ready bowl
of warm soapy water, in which the tips
Of the fingers should be soaked for dve
or ten minutes. The fingers are then
around the roots of each nail If the
nails are stained they should be
bleached with peroxide Of hydrogen.
Twist a small piece of cotton on the
end of stick, dip 1t in pure peroxide
and run under each nail. The next step
is to remove the cuticle from the base
of the nails. A little more cold cream
should be put on and the cutfcle pushed
back with the hoof-shaped end of the
stick, while any portion that with
stands this genetle treatment is cut
away with the cuticle knife. This knife
or sharp manicure scissors can be used
also for removing hangnails.
ing powder in cake form is rubbed on
the buffer and each finger polished sep
arately. red paste Is then put on
each nail and the fingers polished
again with the buffer. and they are also
given a polish with" the palm Of the
hand, on whfchfa touch of the powder
has been placed. The fingers are then
dipped in the bowl of soapy water and
scrubbed with the nail brush.
The hands are then dried carefully
and little more cold cream rubbed
into the cuticle with an orange WOOD
stick. They are then given a final
polish with the palm OF the hand, and
the operation Is finished. A little cold
cream, olive oil or mutton tallow rub
bed into the nails every night will keep
the cuticle from growing over the nails
and prevent Its breaking and forming
hangnails.
A simple preparation for healing and
whitening the hands is carbolic acid.
rose water and glycerin. A good pro-
portion for this mixture is two or three
drops of carbolic acid, half an ounce OF
rose water and an ounce of glycerin.
After washing the skin with warm
water and soap, it must be thoroughly
dried and the lotion rubbed in. Effort
should be made to force it into the
pores, but that which Is not taken up
must be wiped off with a soft cloth.
The preparation is best II made every
other day.
Ordinary stains can be removed from
the hands with lemon Juice. The nails
can be made clear and transparent by
burrowing the finger tips around In
half juicy lemon. Ink and fruit stains
are easily removed In this way. The
following is also good for the purpose:
Into a bottle pour one ounce OF perox-
ide of hydrogen and one ounce of tine
ture of green soap, shake well and ap-
ply to all the crevices around the nail
with an orange wood stick, but do not
push the stick under the nail, rather
permit the mixture to drip from the
point of the stick under the nall. This
acts on discoloration like magic.

Fall Suits and Coats.

are even longer. Jackets all show q
fitted tendency above the waist line
and nearly all are full and flaring over
the hips. The general tendency is tc
show the outline Of the figure without
making the coat tight fitting.
The collars of new suit coats are very
high, especially at the sides and back
They are made so that they can be
worn open or closed at the throat. Suit
skirts are cut on simple lines. A few
plaits are used. and m any models have
a yoke around the hips. Skirts are a
little longer.
Separate coats are longer than last
year. Sport coats are about knee
length. Some are close-fitting above
the waist line, others are semi-fitted
while many hang loosely from the
shoulders. Frequently a yoke is cut at
the shoulders with the lower part of
the coat hanging loose and faring from
the yoke.
Ali coats are very full and faring
around the bottom. Cape collars and
sailor collars, either long, square or cut
in points. are highly favored for sepa-
rate coats. Other collar ideas are those
that softly roll, and military types that
stand straight up.
