Why cutting gives you
ragged nail rims

VXZHEN you attempt to trim off the
w hard, dry cuticle about the base Of
the nail, you cannot help shipping through
in places to the delicate nail root lying
less than one-twelfth of an inch below
the surface.
To heal these wounds, Nature immedi-
atcly covers them with new tissue that
is coarser than the rest of the cuticle, and
this creates the ugly, jagged edge you are
o anxious to do away with.
The surplus cuticle can be removed
easily, harmlessly with Cutex Cuticle Re-

orange stick and absorb bent cotton. Wrap
little cotton around the stick and dip it
into the Cutex bottle. Carefully work the
stick around the base of the nail, gently
pushing back the cuticle. Then rinse the
fingers and the dead surplus skin will
simply wipe away. Then for the cleaning

the touch OF his mouth upon hers
She was stripped bare tonight
of all pretense, face to face with
that truth which she had refused
to acknowledge. which she had
hidden half guiltily, but Of which
she had been aware as long ago rs
that misty morning when she had
rowed herself away from Ruff's
Island.
II was a truth that left her dazed
and numb while It dominated her.
She had forgotten the black shadow
that hung over Denham Carson.
She felt only as though the fame
of his passion still enwrapped her,
waking answering fires within her
own soul-unsuspected, fierce fires
that left her trembling and afraid.
She loved Denham Carson. She
made no longer any attempt to
deny II or to thrust the knowledge
from her. And presently. with a
long, shuddering sigh that was al.
most q moan, she turned and laid
her forehead wearily against the
silken cushions piled about her.
Here Terry found her twenty
minutes later.
The girl dashed in with her usual
impetuous lack of ceremony. halted
with a little exclamation at finding
the room in darkness, then, as Lee
stirred and looked up, went toward
her quickly.

She put a nervous hand against

back OF the brocaded Chesterfield.

advised. They're all playing. cards
or dancing In the music room-you

His outstretched hand touched
her arm. She caught her breath
sharply, shaken by the rising tenn
pest of her own emotions. She
was incapable OF very clear thought.
She only knew that beneath the
deepening note Of passion in his
voice her heart was stirring and
throbbing wildly. She longed 20
break away from his touch, to rush
out into the night; but she had to
stay. She wanted to close her
hands over her ears and shat away
the maddening tenderness of his

would despise herself for her weak.

His fingers fastened upon her

tightening there, tensely. His

was husky.
