BEAUTY CHATS
Rejuvenating the Hands.

Let us suppose that you are well along
in years and your hands show it, or that
you have been neglecting your hands for
some time. How would you go about the
process of making them young and at
tractive again?
They may be badly ridged. Some Of
this you can correct by diet, for this
rigidness frequently comes from an
acidy and rheumatic condition. Begin
by buying yourself pair of loose rubber
gloves, scrub the hands with soap and
water, smear them thickly with ordi-
nary white cooking lard, pull the rubber
gloves over them and keep them on for
an hour, during which time you can
work or read with little inconvenience.
hands and nails will be so much I'M
proved that you can go on to the next
step, which is as follows:
Take the sharp edge OF one OF the
blades of your manicure scissors or the
sharp blade of your cuticle knife or any
implement which has a very sharp edge
for scraping. A small piece of broken
glass is ideal, though you must wrap
something around the edge that you
hold in your hand. Scrape lightly over
the worst ridges on each nail. You can
take quite bit of each ridge without
affecting the nail at all. Rub some pol
ishing powder on your buffer and give
the nails five minutes thorough POLISH
ing. The ridges will almost disappear.
Then rub the nails thickly with cold
cream, rubbing 1t over the nails and
into the rims around them and wipe
the surplus of lightly. The nails and
the partly-grown nails under the skin
take up this cream. This makes the
new nail come in in a much healthier
condition and much better looking.
Keep up the hour-a-day treatment
until your hands are smooth and young
| looking. Polish your nails at least five
minutes every day, for this is very slim
ulating. Rub them with cream at night.

If she lets her gray hair stay as it is.
It Is an easy matter to keep gray hair

to 1t as Is found on many youthful heads
of hair. The difference will be that the
glints will be toward the silvery shades,
while the others will be toward gold or
copper. Gray hair cannot be neglected,
and usually 1t should be carefully sham
pooed every week.
