TO BEAUTIFY FINGER TIPS
Care of the Nails Will Do Much Proper Trimming Is an Essential
 of First importance.

If your finger tips are pudgy, don't blame it on nature, for 1t is only the result of cutting the nails away too far at the corners. The nails on the fin- gers serve as brace and support for the flesh. 4 great many cut their nails away in at each corner and run them out to point, believing that 1t assists greatly in giving tapering ef- feet to the fingers.
 It does not, however, have this ef- feet. Quite the contrary, il takes away the support from the flesh, wherenpon the flesh proceeds to spread out wider and wider the more the nail is trim med away, until it is almost impossible to get it back in shape again.
 In trimming your nails. let the sides of the nail alone and shape only the top. Never use the scissors if you can help it. and if you do, be sure to give the nails d final finish with the file. Remember that yaseline will not only keep the nails from becoming brittle, but will also improve the texture and help to make them shapely.

Many of the seasons styles for juveniles" are quaint tabloid editions of gurnents deSicaed for grown-up members of the family.

Checked taffeta in a vivid tartan de- sign and navy taffeta were employed for the original model, checked silk forming the underskirt and lower half of the sleeves. while the plain taffeta was used for everskirt. round-neeked bodice and upper sleeves. The frock was. of course, one-pieee affair, but toning in the center back.
 Straight-from-the-ne dresses dis tinguished by plaited side panels or panels of contrasting fabric, and fair number of little frocks of the Kate Greenaway type are also liked.
 The little frock shown in the sketch is the "jaQuette" type, short waisted and demure. Plain and plaid serge or taffeta may be used for this frock, or it may be a distinctly summer model, made of chambray. gingham or linen. The dress af the tailored type. there fore better suited to a sturdy material than to one of the sheer flmsy weaves, such as yoile. handkerchief linen, etc.

What Makes People Laugh.

This comedian told of the time when he sought to obtain "job" with a certain manager, who said to him, Make me laugh if you are q come dian." That was rather q hard one, but the comedian, equal to the occa- sion, replied: T am too hungry to make you burst right out into laughter, but I can make you smile if you can lend me eighty dollars, and then don't take my address.
 "The manager smiled first" continu- ed the comedian, but not really at me. It was the mental shock of being asked for eighty dollars, and then realizing that he didn't have to give it to me. A happy mental shock usu- ally results in laughter, as nearly all mirth is caused by little brain sur prises. There is a reason -' the slapstiek stuff. Just enter stl e"t car with certain pose, and see what hap pens. Why, n little innocent bobbing fea ther nf wUman's hat, which tick les the nose of the long suffering man next to her. is provocative of audible mirth. h."-"Affars at Washington" Joe Mitchell Chapple, in National Nigga zine.

required, although braid or narrow vel vet ribbon may be used If wool or silk material is selected.
 The dress might be made of white or colored heavy linen or chambray and heavy embroidery in conventional de- sign used to decorate the skirt and jaquette and smart little pockets.
 To make thiH frock for q child six years, if only one fabric is used, two and half yards, 36 inches wide, will be required. If the jaquette employs different material two yards for the dress and three-quarters of yard of material 36 inches wide for the jd- Quette will be needed.
 A study of type, with the idea of harmonizing the individual and her apparel, is quite as important in select ing the wardrobe of the very young woman as in choosing clothes for the grown-up member of the family.
 Setting the foundation of good taste in dressing may begin quite early Tn life, with profit to all concerned, and the question of expenditure plays only a minor part in the final showing.

MADE MocKERY OF MONARCH
In the Reign of George IT English carieaturists Proved the Power
 of the Pencil.

Nearly every great diamond has a history. These histories are always TO- mantle. embodying numerous adven- lures, some Of which are tragic. In the history of the Hastings tragedy of Eng land is a charge of bribery against a king. George III. which gave the gentle art of carieature an opportunity such as had never come to it before and showed the power that earicuture could wield upon people. At levee of the king held on June II. 11S6. a very valuable diamond of unusual size and hrillianey, was presented to George III. ostensibly as d gift from the nizam, or native ruler of the Dec can, India. At the period when this magnificent peace offering was given to the king the impeachment of War ren Hastings was advancing in parlia- ment and it was current rHmor that this and several lesser diamonds were the purchase price of Hastings acquit- tai. Caricatures appeared in the win daws of the printshops. One repre- sented Hastings wheeling the king to market in a barrow and saying: What a man buys he may sell again." In an- other. the king was exhibited kneeling. with his mouth opens and Hastings throwing diamonds into it. An Italian juggler then in London pretending to eat paving stones placarded the walls with bills describing himself as "The Greatest Stone Eater" Improving up- on this the carieaturists represented the king in the character of the Great est Stone Eater.
