It's the heart of Hastings, Ne

who vitalized the heart.
The Hastings Woman's Club had,
for several years. wanted to open a
home in Hastings, not especially a
home for old people but a refuge
which would serve both old and
young in time of need.
Three hundred precious dollars
were gathered toward the project
but it seemed impossible to get
further. So the money a put in
the bank and the plan temporarily
tabled.
Right there, however, fate took a
hand. Grandma Ball, whom all
Hastings knew and respected. fell
and broke her hip. For a little while
Grandpa Ball served as breadwinner
inc nurse. but the double duty soon
proved too much and county officials
took charge.
The officials devised what seemed
to their masculine minds a sensible
and subtle scheme.

BEAUTY HINTS

OF course you've had them nicely
manicured today-those pretty pink
nails of yours. But that isn't enough,
not nearly enough.
II hands are to be really pretty
they must have more than nicely
manicured nails. Even the shape of
your hands is not all important. The
real beauty Of beautiful hands is in
the s of them.
Artists-if we can judge them by
their masterpieces-quite agree with
this.
For instance. from Durer's Pray
ing Hands emanates a spirituality OF
character wholly apart from the
purely physical dimensions.
The hands of the Mona Lisa of
Leonardo da Vinci are not famous
so much for their shape and size as
for their graceful flowing line of
wrist and hand which so often dis
guises poor structure.
Long ago we learned the art of
facial expression and repression, but
our hands still tell the tale of our
emotions or u lack OF them.
Nervousness and irritability are at
once evident in the hand. Fingers
m%incingly curved over a teacup tell
a story of ~artifciality and super
vanity. The brazen hands of a Car
men planted firmly on her lips not
only emphasize her defiant imperti-
nence but hint of ancestors long
used to hand toil-of women aecus-
toned to resting IN aching back by
Strengthening and bracing their
hands on their hips.
No member tells more about your
self and the kind OF person you
are than your hands. One wonders,
in this connection. whether the long.
enveloping sleeve of the Chinese
bears any relation, in his scheme of
things. with the inserutability of the
oriental countenance.
Neither do their hands Or faces
express more than their spoken
word.
But that isn't quite what you want!
Your desire should be a hand which
does say things in a poised sort of
way. And you can train them so.
Watch your hands! Don't let them
tell a story of nervousness and lack
OF repose.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-10-13

she asked suspiciously.
HE can go down to the county
| farm until you're we'll" They tried
to be casual.
But Grandma Ball understood and
protested fiercely.
There Sunnyside came into being.
Mrs. Dietrich heard of the protest,
put the matter before the club and
the $500 was drawn from the bank
for the establishment, of Sunnyside.
In the house which was immedi-
ately rented and furnished through
contribution, the old couple were
given a room. They took with them
to their new home only their most
priced possessions-five life-siZe
crayon portraits of themselves and
their former spouses. All were done
By the same itinerant artist at the
same time.
They INDUCED in no petty jeal-
ousies. Indeed. If you happened to
call on Grandma Ball she'd inform
you. in a voice grown thunderous
from years with a deaf husband:
That's Balls first woman. 1 never

and that's my other man."

The New Coat Gown
BY MARIAN HALE

NEW YORK-The coat gown, the
combination cape and gown, the
wrap and dress effect-you see more
alliances OF form and fashion this
season than ever before.
It's the old theatrical expression,
"doubling-in brass" brought into
practical demonstration in a new
line. And it is great for the econom-
ical woman.
The combined wrap and dress of
brocaded canton crepe, worn by
Irene Castle. illustrates the point.
The straight lines of the gown are
unbroken except for a silver, metal
lied belt. The brocade, which is
silver-gray, forms also a sweeping
wrap effect with deep hood-like COL
lar.
From deep shoulder seams the
material falls in long drapes.
The sleeve line continues into a
sort of Jacket.
This entire wrap may be removed
and a straight-lined gown remains.
The long, tight sleeve, which Is
revealed when the coat is removed,
is completely disguised when the
wrap is adjusted. It then takes on
the new flowing effect.
Indeed, two complete costumes
are made from this combination.
The small turban of gray duvetyne
is embroidered in silver.
