their Autumn wardrobes. They
have possibly decided on the general
outdoor color scheme-whether they
are to get first of all new coat or a

Scientific beauty schools Of the kind
that train operators for beauty shops
emphasize proper care OF the ringer
nails as a fundamental factor in being
well groomed.
There are differences in nails as
there are in compilations and hair. The
| first thing to do is determine the type
you are blessed with and give them the
care their type requires.
For dry or brittle nails an oil mani
cure is recommended. This consists
merely of massaging the nails with
warm olive Oil and then exposing them
| to the rays and heat Of an electric light
| for a few minutes. Hang nails, that Is
| tears or cuts in the skin extending from
| the dead cuticle into live tissues, should
| be cut of as close to the finger as pos
sible. They should never be torn on.
Because cutting thickens the nail.
beauty culturists frown on scissors and
clippers. Adult nails should be filed in
stead.
The cuticle should never be cut unless
| through lack Of care 1t absolutely de-
mands cutting. It should be pushed
back with the towel or orange stick
after each washing.

The nails should be kept so closely

That is the surest way, combined with

Among other things that manicurist
should know before she begins q mani

strokes given a nail with buffer causes
a burning sensation. II this over

The Beauty School

was once the sign Of an aristocrat to
have long, highly enameled nails, and
high caste Chinese still allow their nails
to grow to extremes. The modern
American girl uses her hands and in
dulges In no freak shapes for her
nails.
She learns that to drive a car, play
the piano, WELD paint brush or per-
form the hundred and one tasks that
confront her at home, in school or IN
the ONCE, she must have efficient nails.
There are, however, three shapes
from which she may choose, round
oval or almond. Usually she selects the
variation that best fits her type of hano
and the kind Of work she does. The
up-to-date manicurist will tell her that
the curve at the end Of the nail should
correspond with the natural curve at
its base, thus accentuating the in
dividuAlity OF every girl.
Enamels for nails have been passe
for some time, and the real beauty of
today looks upon liquid polish and
artifcialities of that ilk as IN indi-
cation of laziness or iii health. She
keeps the luster Of her well groomed
finger nail by daily care and knowl-
edge Of lnanicuring.

there are ways Of getting around the

eggs for breakfast has an easier matter

Of the commissions order, but
had only read accounts Of it In

forced.

Order Is Tentative
Following an intensive cam
paign by The Washington Times
the commission drafted q tenta

The number Of taxicabs on tn

not only asks for financial LID
bility, but provides for strict il
spection of the mechanical cond

The amendment Is to take ef-
feet within a month, and followed

immensely, he said, over the
commissions stand.
Clayton and Ralph B. Fleharty,

fight any move Of the companies
to nullify its effect.
The commission in denying the
petition took the stand that the
petitioners had not made out
their case and left the argument
open for further hearings. This,
it was held, takes away much Of
the grounds on which the com
