Smooth Hands.

These are bad days for hands The
frost reddens and chills them, the

and the trouble begins. Mother takes
a brush and soap and scrubs them
well and then the children start off
for school secure in the faith that
their hands are clean. Then they find
that they are not.
When they were washed they were
wiped dry, but not dry enough After
the patting and stroking with the
towel they are still damp. II the
child goes with damp hands they will
surely be chafed, and that is a most
uncomfortable condition. The hands
feel stiff and sore and they do not
work well at all. Writing is diff

papers are smeared and the teacher
says something about having clean

school work falls down and every
body is unhappy about it.
