i toward enhancing the charm
Of a woman. Some women are

hands and these women usually
take pains to keep them so. How

It Is very simple to keep them
filed neatly in any shape desired.
Warm olive oil or cold cream ap-
piled to the cuticle nightly will
do away with the necessity OF
cutting.
Every time the hands are
washed 1t is a good thing to push
the cuticle back gently with the
towel.
If the hands are splotched a
bit Of lemon juice will help
bleach them. Cold cream mas
saged into the hands will keep
them soft and white.
