Well Polished Nails.

A good polish win save a bad mani

fingernails are neatly shaped. not too
long nor too short. and If the edge

There are so many polishes on the
market that no one can go wrong.
happen to prefer a polish in cake form,
because the powder does dry the skin
around the nails. On the other hand,
the powder generally gives a quicker
and more lasting polish and the cha
mois on the buffer need not be changed
so often. If you use a powder polisE
use it once week when you give your
hands their most thorough manicure,
then scrub off the. powder that cling;
to the skin and polish again with a
clean buffer. This will bring all the
gloss back at once And each day a
minute or two with the clean buffer
will keep the gloss until time for the
next thorough manicure.
OF course, there are polishes that are
painted on. In Paris once found an

Astringent for Throat.

Much can be done toward improving
the lines of fiabby, fat throat just by
cultivating correct posture. Persons
who habitually carry their heads up.
with chin level and shoulders square,
are seldom bothered with double chins
or sagging wsttles. unless they allow
themselves to become too thin or too
stout. Most young girls who complain
of double chins have developed them by
carrying their necks thrust forward
and thin shoulders rounded.
Any ex- Use that necessitates correct
posture Of neck and chin is good for
about the Jaws and the throat. A SIM
pie exercise o. this kind consists OF
throwing the head back and whistling
or blowing through pursed lips. Open
ing and closing the jaws while the head
is thrown back is another good exercise.
An astringent pack is helpful in case
of excess flesh and sagging throat. To
prepare for the treatment first cleanse
the skin with cleansing cream or oil.
Now steam it with several hot towels,
applied successfully. Dry and pat on
an astringent cream or non-greasy 10
ton to lubricate the massage. Massage
for about five minutes, using an up
ward stroke from the center OF the
throat up to the ears.
The next step Is to prepare the as

muslin or cheesecloth about foot WIDE
and 2 feet long. In the center of the
strip fold in handful of clear, alb
sorbent cotton Split the ends Of the
cloth for about a third of the length.

have to prepare sandwich lunch
for my little girl, age 10, to carry to
school every day. Can you give me any
suggestions for sandwich filings that
are a little different? She hasn't
very robust appetite, and it is so diff
cult to MAKE up lunches that she does
not tire of.-Mrs. r. G. N.
There are many things that you
might do to make lunches interesting
for your little girl aside from supplying
different kinds OF sandwiches. In the
first place, l would advise the purchase
of small thermos bottle. unless there
is the facility for getting milk or
some hot dish at school. A lunch box
that is easy to carry. that will hold the
thermos Jar, sandwiches and small
glass Jar or cardboard carton OF des-
sert or salad, is almost necessity. One
of the little glass jars with the screw
top, or the individual cartons that are
used for jelly, peanut butter, mayon--
naise, ETC., are in some cases even bet
ter, because they are light and easy to
carry. These may be filled with tapioca
pudding. with gelatin desserts. creamy
rice pudding, chocolate blanc mango
or any of the similar simple desserts.
For sandwich filings the following
are suggested: White bread spread
lightly with butter. then generously
with peanut butter and layer of small
seedless raiSins. If time permits, for
variety the .raisins may be soaked in
orange juice. white or whole wheat
bread, spread first with butter. then
with generous layer of. cream or cot
tage cheese mixed with chopped dried
peaches or apricots and. if necessary,
moistened with a little cream. 3-Nut
bread. spread with cream cheese and a

one has been in a room with a group OF
persons. some of whom actually radiate
beauty of character and draw us to
them, while others, just by their per-

"rune in" to the one mind and shut
off the current against the other.
How, then, can we pick up the good

this is done and how to make correct

TRY this experiment and note the re-

YOU will be convinced. If you want
persons to be nice to you, try being

it is the thought vibrations that carry
not the surface veneer. When 1t is only
that, the discovery Is sure to be made.
Then persons "see through" acts or

The connection is spoiled. But sincere
kind actions and loving words are not
lost. They are caught. Your very per-

you are broadcasting them.

and kindly actions.
When you are sending out fine
thoughts, even though they may be to

the sum of higher vibrations in the air.
Where love is strong in a family the
very atmosphere of the home is full of
lovely vibrations No one can enter
such a household without being re-

This is an easy one; the answer Is SIM
pie: Just hysteria,' and simple
form of 1t, quite common in girls Of the
fiapper and post-flapper age. A cry
ing spell is an ordinary innocent at
tack. and its most frequent occasion
is fatigue. We we're all that way as
children, some more so than others.
When we were tired or hungry or hurt
we cried. Dur emotional equilibrium
was uncertainty poised; under the least
provocation we toppled over emotion
ally and burst into tears. Soon all was
smiles again. Alternate laughing and
crying is a symptom of hysterical in
stability of the mildest variety.
What strikes this amateur psychol-
ogist as peculiar is that one should

come so depressed" as to cry. He puts
1t that way because he himself must
feel pretty blue before he cries or even
feels like crying But there Is no real
depression needed to start tears when
you are near to tears. anyway, and
tears don't mean grief or depression
only.
There are tears of Joy and tears of
self-pity and tears of excitement--and
just tears because tears are on tap.
That tear apparatus. for some reason.
which the professional psychologist
cannot completely explain, has become
involved with certain order of tender
emotion and centrally with grief in the
adult. (The child cries most readily
for physical pain. then by transfer for
mental pain or grief.) But though a
state of depression is the chief inducer
of tears, other allied emotions will start
the flow. the sympathetic ones mainly.
At the theater during the tender pas
sages the house is just as moist as
during moments of piteous tragedy.
The common garden variety OF
hysteria Is an exaggerated suScepti-
bility to emotion. If aggressive, as 1t
often Is it explodes in a fit of anger
or temper then people get snappy, and
the least irritation starts the quarrel.

Aristotle had something to say on the

Of saying getting it out of your system.
He regarded the theater as good out

emotions of the characters by proxy,
and SO relieve our own. There may be
as many people who go to the .theater

The confessional was another institu

to repress There are occasions when

relief. and it is more blessed to give
than to receive. Freud gave vogue to
the doctrine that too much repression
is bad. as confession is good for the soul.

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT

10 years later, she is happily married
and her job is that of mother; and it
would take far more than bit of fatigue
to start the tears.
Expression is relief, and many girls
of various ages feel much better after a
good cry. They get it out of their sys-
tenn the tension is relieved and there is
calm. So in this case this young lady
doubtless felt like crying from the start,
but she held back She yielded to the
gayety and excitement, forgot her ia
tigue and enjoyed herself. But the ia
tigue didn't forget her. Even joyous
excitement uses energy; it's recreation
when you're up to it and have spare
energy. but 1t doesn't rest. So on the
way home when the excitement was
spent, the fatigue reasserted itself. and
