Mrs. A. L.-Wear a finger stall over
the nail that continues to split. DO
this until the whole nail grows long
enough so you can trim on the split
parts and still be clear of what is
termed the quick"
I believe that the splitting continues
because you are always opening the
crack, and that protection over the
nail would prevent this. If this does
not work out as anticipate, you may
have to remove the entire nail; this
is not as bad as it sounds either, but
try the protector first.

So whenever Peter saw a piece Of

about to be more feminine. And lace
is feminine. To be sure, men once
wore it-brave, bold men wore yards
of it frilled at their shirt fronts and
dangling about their wrists. But now

another of the utmost effeminacy he
suggests that his undershirt is trim

unmasculine. But the boyish, man.

lace has been revived.

still finds favor and is sometimes
classified as banana beige, rose beige

Pretty Elbows.

Elbows are most satisfactory to
treat, because 10 matter how ugly
they are, FIVE minutes spent intelli-
gently treating them will improve
them beyond recognition. The trea {,
ment is quite simple, and the same in
all cases.
First rub them with cleansing cream,
using lots of cream and rubbing well.
The friction of the massage works
loose the dirt that gets deep down in
the pores and, If there is enough
cream. works ii out to the surface of
the skin. This should all be scrubbed
out with hot water and soap, mild
soap that will not dry out the skin
too much. A small hand scrubhing
brush is good for this. and the water
should be quite hot and the soap gen.
erously used.
When you have thoroughly cleansed
the skin of dirt, it WITH still be dry
and ugly If the treatment stops here.
Wipe the arms, and then rub on a
little vanishing cream, and powder.
If you do this every day your elbows
will always look well. If you haven't
time for this not very lengthy treat
ment, however, you can always dress

Rouge, like powder. is best applied
over a vanishing cream. Before re-
tiring the face may then be washed
entirely clean. Rouge is colored by
either carmine or one of the aniline
dyes. Some skins are sensitive to
aniline dyes, but their possessors are
usually aware of the fact. and avoid
aniline rouges.
When selecting rouge try to dis
cover color that seems to suit YOU
naturally. A conspicuous rouge is
invariably a disappointment and a
failure. It helps frequently to think
OF your face as a mask that needs

doubt in the Summer clothes
You may account for the revival of
lace simply by the fact that it has not
been very much worn for the past
decade or so. Most students of cos
tune agree that the various types of
fabrics come back every so often

It was about time for lace to be re-
