to use on delicate white fabrics and it

The Home Manicure.

1t Is good plan to have professional
manicure treatment once in while,
even though you prefer to groom your
own nails ordinarily, but you should be
careful to choose a good manicurist Do
not allow the nails to be trimmed or
the cuticle pushed down before your
fingertipS have been soaked for some
time in warm water or oil when you
are having complete manicure treat
ment. Do not patroniZe manicurist
who jabs down the cuticle so hard that
it becomes sore or bleeds. In such cases
there Is danger of infection as we'll as
possible loss of the nail or of the finger
itself.
To keep your nails always in the best
condition you need a manicure treat
ment twice a week, and 1t is easy to do
this for yourself The tools required are
simple and include small bowl, mani
cure scissors. emery boards steel nail
file, buffer an orange-Wood stick, cold
cream and absorbent cotton. II your
nails are stained beneath their free ends
you may add peroxide to your manicure
kit. A commercial cuticle softener is
useful to have for quick manicure, but
is not essential
Don't hurry over your manicure treat
ment If you want good results, however.
Begin by soaking your fingertips in
warm, soapy water. If the skin of your
hands is too dry and the cuticle IS
horny. use warm olive oil in place of
the water. Soak your fingers for 10
minutes. then dry them and trim the
nails with the scissors. II your nails
are brittle and tend to split when cut,
do not use scissors. but file them into
shape with the rough side of the emery
board Use the finer side of the board
next and finally the steel file to smooth
the edges of the nails in an oval shope.
Twist wisp of cotton around the
blunt end of the orange-wood stick and
with it gently push down the cuticle at
the base Of the nails. Avoid breaking
the skin.
