No woman need have unsightly
hands if she gives them a little at
tention.
They need not be small and petite,
nor yet perfect in shape, but scrupu-
lousy clean, and with a little extra
care the hand can be made a delight
to the eye and a joy and beauty to
the owner as we'll as to the observer.
1t certainly is pleasure to watch
the manipulations of refined lily
white hand. Not only does it add
materially to the whole appearance,
but insures certain amount OF pose
and self-conhdence.
If we do not have sufficient self-re-
spect to attend to all the minor de-
tails of our person we cannot demand
the respect from strangers,
Many a woman, no doubt, will say.
How can | have beautiful hands
when l am compelled to do all my
own housework?'
There, madam, that is the secret,
and therein lies the merit, to possess
beauty in spite OF work.
Housework is not as injurious to
the skin OF the hands as most women
imagine; little judicious care is all
that is necessary to keep them in per-
feet condition.
If the skin of the hands is very
sensitive, pair OF loose gloves should
be slipped over them when perform
ing any particular mental tasks and
above all things never permit any
foreign matter to cat its way through
the pores OF the skin. A piece Of

Strict neutrality is being maintained
by the Riddles using the South Side
public library.
After greatly enjoying a series of
German myths narrated on Thursday
afternoons at the library, they have
now voted almost unanimously in
favor of listening to English myths
in the next series to be given.
Miss Kate Swartzlander, children's
librarian, told the last Siegfried story
Thursday, with over $50 youngsters
in attendance. Next Thursday she
will tell the first King Arthur tale.
Photograph music formerly used
tor entertainment at the children's
hour gatherings, and was popular, but
the story telling seems to be more
popular, supposedly because its source
is personal and living instead of in
animate.

Care of the Hands

lemon kept on the kitchen sink will
remove any stubborn stains with very
little trouble. A few drops of hydro
gen of peroxide will bleach them be-
yond recognition.
Avoid the use of strong soaps and
if possible always use piece of ivory
soap for dishwashing, not only for
sanitary reasons, but because it is
made from pure fats and oils.
Dishwater is not such menace to
the hands as great many persons
seem to think it is. If one is care
full not to use the water too hot
the grease lurking in the dishwater
will be found to contain healing as
we'll as softening qualities.
Thorough cleanliness, above all
things, is absolutely necessary to OBJ
tain tie best results and with the fire.

Prof. Fling a Social Lion.

Prof. Fling Social Lion.
DR.. Frederick Morrow filings an
nual visits to Omaha to lecture on
behalf OF the Equal Franchise So
ciety are looked forward to by host
esses who delight in having this bril-
liant man and gifted conversationalist
as honor guest at their tables. In
past years, as this year, the requests
for dinner engagements have quite
exceeded DR.. filings time, and so
many are disappointed.
DR.. Fling is member of that small
exclusive club of Lincoln men called
The Round Table, which might be
thought a miniature OF the famous
Gridiron club. At this club he has
been subjected to many grillings and
particularly since the advent of a
young son in his household the ia
bles have been turned against him
more than once. DR.. Fling, like any
scholar or scientist, is man of de-
cded opinions, which arr the result
OF long and careful study. His
sturdy adherence to his own opinions
through thick and thin has been one
Of his chief characteristics. One of
the best stories told about the change
which the youngster wrought in him
is one about an English nurse.
DR.. Fling is to lecture during the
series in Omaha this year on various
phases of the great war. True to his
pro-allies' sentiment, when the baby
was very small an English nurse was
engaged for him and he was put to
sleep on white hair mattress which,
according to the French, is less ener-
waiting than feathers and more sani-
tary than colored hair mattresses.
Now the English nurse followed her
English customs in regard to the care
of the baby, so that he was clothed
lightly. One day DR.. Fling feared
that she was OVERRIDING the matter
and ventured to suggest to the nurse
that there are various theories in
regard to the clothing Of infants. "For
instance" he was about to -emark,
when the nurse interrupted him-"Dr.
Fling, if my services are not sctisfac-
tory"-l Before she had time to COM
plete the sentence this doctor, who
was famous for maintaining his own
opinions, demonstrated very earnestly,
"Oh, yes, perfectly-perfectly."
During DR.. filings series of lectures
in Omaha this year he will be the din
ner guest of Mr.. and Mrs. E. w.
Dixon. Mr.. and Mrs. c. w. Russell
and Mr.. E. M. Fairfield will entertain
him at dinner at the Omaha club.
This evening Mrs. Joseph M. Metcalf,

wit.
A third came up and solemnly Ie-
quested the privilege of shaking hands
with me. A fourth declared that he
wanted to get little OF the shearing,
just enough to stuff mattress. And
a fifth ventured the opinion that the
city improvement clubs had prevailed
on me to take this step, so important
to the city's well-being.
The news spread to the business Of
flee and all the little girls going on
their way to lunch met me and
greeted me with a smile" l really

with more respect.

ner, looking guilty and Fastening

Perhaps you think that is not an

But you err, ah, you err grievously.
There are hundreds of people to
whom this announcement will have
far more interest than the days news
of the European war. Yes, indeed.
For you must know that my locks
have been strangers to the shears for
well nigh six months. Exactly 249,-
867 jokes, jests and quips have been
hurled at me because of them and
l,247,869 people have looked their dis
approval at me in the streets and pub
lie places of the city. So you see
this is an important event and should
be recorded in the paper.

l did not falter in this great mo-
ment. Assuming an air of levity, l
informed him that he was the sue
cessful bidder and had been awarded
the contract.
A fellow in one Of the chairs said
I ought to get a lawnmower busy on
the job. There were other low jests.
But l paid no attention to them, main
tanning an ait of dignity and aloof-
ness.
Mr.. Meyer seemed deeply affected
as he began operations. Snipp-snipp-
clipp-clipp. My Sansonian locks fell
from me. At precisely 1882 the op-
Grafton was completed.
l have to admit that it is an i'm
provement. 1t adds much to my nat
ural and striking beauty. Mr.. Meyer
is a tonsorialist of great ability and
he gave me one of the best examples
of his art. It's worth going miles to
see.
