NAILS.
By EDNA KENT FORBES


 HI There is a good sound reason why khe nails should be polished ire Aquently. It not only gives them Q l# Fashionable gloss, but makes them M bouthfu1 looks all your life. A woman f may grow old in every other way, but if she takes good care of heI
 nails, they at least will always stay
 young.
 Polishing the nails helps to do away N with the ugly tendency toward ridges. j#Ht makes the nails pink by stimulat- lMkng the circulation of blood under E Them, and it keeps them smooth and M healthy by this same stimulation. This l# does not mean that the nails should Hpe polished for long period every nhay-25 or 30 swift strokes with afwell- polished buffer are all that is lhecesSary.
 W Some nails have a naturally high Floss. These should never have pol 4shing powders used on them, flor any lRowder e1 this sort is drying. There
 are nailssthat will not look well un- Hess some artificial polish is used; but fn this case, the powder should be
 washed off thoroughly and the nail made glossy again with clean buff H Never use an artificial gloss which Ills painted on over the nails. This is ID lazy habit and is bad for the nails 1t will dry them out, and eventually !3t will make them crack and become lfidgy in appearance. According to iHl11 the SOOQ n1antCUT1SIS, the cnlSI IFaIue of polishing the nails lies in Rhe friction of the bufting. Using a Exlossy. paint or enamel does away with a beneficial habit and forms a bad one. Several people have asked wlret her SA pink or white polishing powder is 1best. It does not matter in the least, lbs long the powder is of good duality and is washed off before the Ihnal polishing. " Thank You. Miss R.

 If you'll buy ten tickets, think what crowd you could take-or a hundred tickets! And going to a Mother Goose party is heaps more cute and kiddy than even going to a peanut and popcorn circus.
 See Fairy Things
 You can see in reality characters you have had big imaginings about maybe have described to your own babies.
 The party has happened on ac- count of the Riddle Ramp, where frail little children are trying to grow so strong and robust this three weeks.
