My Secrets
of Charm
By Josephine Huddleston

OTHTNG 50 truly betrays
N ones character, tempera-
ment and physical condi-
hon as the appearance Of the hands
and fingernails. Whether they
are kept immaculate and well
groomed or are carelessly cared
for they are q guide to the char
acter Of the individual.
By the contour Of the hands
and the flexibility Of the fingers
ones temperament and mood
may be forecast. Rigid finger
nails and weak, scrawny appear
ing hands usually indicate some
physical disorder.
Whether scars from hard work
or callous spots mar the feminine
trace, or whether they are the
pampered digits Of the lady of
fashion and leisure, the hands of
the honest, sincere and healthy
person have a flexibility which
makes them harsh and brutal
when that person becomes angry
or gets into any other unpleasant
mood.
This II not a dissertation on
palmistry or palm reading, how
ever. but one on hand culture
which begins with the proper
care Of the nails and ends with
massaging the hands and finger
tips TO achieve q beautiful con
tour for the fingers and nails.
Consequently, every woman
should devote a little time each
day to the cultivation Of hand
beauty since hands are one of the
first parts of the body TO show
physical age.
Realizing the Importance OF
well-groomed hands the clever
woman messages remedial oils
into the nails TO keep them
smooth and healthy Just as hand
lotions are employed to keep the
hands soft, white and youthful.
Before getting down to the ac-
tual business Of manicuring the
nails. carefully study the contour

Abruptly she dismissed these

she demanded. You call your

They argued heatedly until. in
disgust, Hester asked Dick to
leave. IL was one o'clock, ne

up the steps and he had his arm
around the girl.
The thought occurred 20 Dick
that Boo-Boo was not the kind
of friend he would have chosen
for Hester. "She's "a reckless
flapper who'll get into trouble"
he thought, "and Hester must
stay away from her"
As he tried TO fall asleep that
night the sound OF Boo-Boo's
high-pitched laughter Knocked his
discomfort.

of the hands and fingers, espe-
cially the tips, to determine the
best and most f~lattering shape for
the nails. If the hands are short
and pudgy, no one is led to be-
lieve that the fingers are long
and tapering If the nails are worn
long and extend far beyond the
fingerstips. A more flattering
shape is found for this type Of
hand by allowing the nails to
grow only to the tips Of the
fingers and keeping the sides
filed quite close to the sides of
the fingers.
If the fingers are long and
the hands of nice proportion,
study the fingers carefully and
wear the nails ut whatever
length best balances the hands,
bearing in mind that extremely
long nails give the fingers q
claw-like appearance.
Half moons cannot be de-
veloped unless they are already
present. However, they may be
enlarged to the proper proper
ton for the fingers by daily
massage and the proper use OF
an orange-wood stick.
After the nails have been filed
to the desired shape, an orange
wood stick should be dipped into
a reliable cuticle oil-olive oil
or mineral oil-and applied
literally around the sides and at
the base of the nails. Then let
the thumb Of the left hand rest
lightly on the forefinger Of the
right hand and with the right
thumb, gently but firmly mas
sage the left one, pushing the
cuticle back as far as possible
and allowing the oil to spread
over the entire nail. Then mas
sage, using the simple rotary
movement ten times To the right
and ten times to the left before
going on to the next finger.
Continue until each nail has had
an equal share of the massage.
Repeat with the right hand.
After the fingers have been
well massaged. the cuticle Is

again pushed gently back with
the aid Of an orange-wood stick
and the oil is allowed to remain
on a few minutes. This Is more
advisable than soaking the fin
gers in soap and water for long
periods as the cuticle becomes
swollen under such conditions
and then, since most soaps con-
tain at least a small amount of
alkali, an over-dry condition that
causes what is commonly called
dead cuticle results shortly after
removal from the basin of soapy
water.

A. NJ. A. ASKS TAX
UNIFORMITY

A single standard for computing
motorists Federal income taxes was
urged this week by the legislative
committee of the American Motor
lists Association.
Under the present method the In.
ternal Revenue Bureau employs
three separate formulas for comput.
ing the motorists annual income
tax, in so far as 1t relates to gasoline
taxes, 1t Is pointed out.
This is no criticism of the Blu.
reau," declares Thomas J. Keefe,
general manager Of the A. M. A.
THE bureau interprets the law in
each state, imposing gasoline taxes,
according to the laws phraseology.
In the states where the law imposes
ist is allowed to deduct this from
his annual income return.
In those states where the law i'm
poses the tax on the dealer or the
distributor, the bureau uniformly
holds that the dealer or distributor
pays the tax and that it Is not col
lected from or paid by the motorist.
Notwithstanding the bureaus
technical ruling, the motorist does
pay the tax, regardless of the word
ing of the law. 1t follows that he
should be granted an allowance in
his income tax returns. To deny
the deduction amounts to double
taxation in that he Is taxed on his
taxes"
