Fingertips.

Short cuts to beauty are much in de-
mand these days when most of us are
too busy to spend much time prinking,
but sometimes as the old proverb says,
the longest way around proves to be the
shortest way to our destination in the
end When We are thinking of how
quickly we can finish q given task, we
are more than likely to do it slightingly
with the result that 1t has to be done
over again.
For instance, there is manicuring-a
branch of beauty culture that every
girl and woman practices to some extent
To do 1t correctly one must take time
but how often one is tempted to give
the nails haSty clip with the scissors
and a careles dab with the liquid polish
and let 1t go at that The polish gives
high gloss at once, but, unless the
previous coating has been entirely re-
moved. the fresh polish will look lumpy
and will peel in spote. Applied hurriedly
1t fills up the groove around the nails,
which looks untidy.
Clipping the nails with scissors in
stead Of taking time to file them first
with long steel file and then with an
emery board tends to make them thick
and rough AZ the free edge. Forcing
down the cuticle about the base of the
nails when 1t is dry causes hangnails
which might be prevented II the skin
was first softened with warm water and
soap.
Perhaps the worst result OF careless
manicuring Is the danger OF infection
from small cuts and tears. The whole
finger may become sore and there is
danger OF blood poisoning. To prevent
such trouble one should in the first place
use scissors very Sparingly and never
prod or 1ab the tender cuticle with sharp
instruments. Should the skin become
broken, apply peroxide or other suitable
antiSeptic at once. If any swelling or
Inflammation develops. see a doctor.
1t is not necessary to have an ex-
penSive manicure set, but ones tools
should be cleaned often and kept for
ones own private use. A long, flexible
steel file is an important part OF the
manicure equipment. Then one should
have package OF emery boards. an Or

A simple nail bleach may be added to

for this purpose or one may use a mix

There is q fashion today for keeping
pins out of sight on a dressing table
They have long since lost that novelty
OF newness which gave them glamour
when pins were so scarce and expensive
that it almost bespoke wealth to have
more than one or two. 1t is difficult
for those of this era to appreciate that
there was time when pins, as we
know them, did not exist. The evo-
luton of the pin from a thorn to
the present Stout-headed bit of steel
is one of those thrilling stories known
to few except manufacturers and those
interested in antiques and origins.
Lacking such import the common
place pin is relegated to obscurity on
most dressing tables, although the
need of them makes it imperative that
they be handy.
There are various ways of hiding
pins and yet having them at ones
command There are exquisite boxes
of gold and silver, enamel and glass
that adorn bureaus, and in any one of
these pins may be discovered if one
IS in need of the commodity. Then,
too, there are all sorts of dainty
French frivolities in the way of pin
cushions that deity conceal their pur-
pose of sheltering pins. One of these
fascinating frivolitieS is wee doll with
full-founced and beruffied skirt that
spreads unanimously over the pin
cushion base. AS it is something any
woman who is at all handy with her
needle can make. am going to tell
you how to do it.

lodging into it with such quick move
mentS that it is hard for an ordinary
pair of eyes, such as yours and mine,
to follow him. When he is running
about this way and that, apparently in
tent on business of his own, those sharp
eyes of his miss nothing of his sur
roundings. He may not appear to be
looking, but he is. Every stump, root,
clump Of grass, log, stick. stone or other
thing in, under or behind which he
might hide his slim form IS made note
of, SO that in case of sudden need he
will know just where the nearest hid
ing place is.
This time Billy had slipped into a
small hole between the roots of an old
stump. From it he peered, his bright
eyes fixed on the moving red spot he
had seen so Unexpectedly.
1T is Reddy Fox himself" muttered
Billy under his breath, after watching
for a few minutes. Yes, sir, 1t is Reddy
way over here? He is a long way from
home"
True enough, it was Reddy Fox. He
and Billy Mink were old acquaintance.
They had known each other as long as
either could remember. Hello, you red
robber," said Billy as Reddy was pass
ing.
Reddy Whlrled and instantly ne saw
Billy peering from between the roots Of
that old stump and knew that Billy was
quite safe there. He grinned as only
Reddy can. Hello, you brown thief"
he exclaimed. What are you doing so
far from home?"
Seeing a bit Of the Great World"
replied Billy promptly. And what. may
ask, brings you so far from the Green
Meadows and the Old Pasture?"
Appetite" replied Reddy, and then
grinned again. Appetite. I thought
might find better hunting over here
There have been times in the past
when I have had good hunting around
here when it was poor around home"
so you have been over here before!"
exclaimed Billy.
Often" replied Reddy. "By the way
be careful what you eat around here
unless you catch it yourself. There's
something queer going on around here
Just watch your step"

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

There are a few adults whose ex-
periences have led them to fear domes-
tic animals, but it is a commonly &C
cepted belief that all children love
them. As a matter Of fact, most chill
dren will love dogs and cats If they
have not been knocked down by a big
dog, or snapped at by q small one, or
imbued with fear by overcautious par
entS. When a fear is acquired, though,
1t isn't always easy to erase.
1t is well TO introduce a small dog
or cat into the household OF the child
who is terrified by animals. The help
less, artless. young puppy or kitten will
win any child's heart, and as it grows
in size and its department becomes
more cat or dog like. the child will
have grown so used to it as to be in
capable of fear of it. In turn, the child
will forget his fear of other dogs loud
banks or of other cats unheralded leaps.
Sometimes this doesn't work. Some
children cannot be induced to go near
even helpless little animals.
Human nature being what 1t Is. q
child's unusual fear of animals becomes
a matter of open comment ana dis
cuSsion. Susan finds that her fear is
unusual. that most little girls like cats
and dogs, but that she doesn't! She
screams perfectly awful; you could
hear her a mile" says her mother
She just frightenS us all to death when
she does this
Screaming so as to be heard a mile
may have been an early reaction to a
real terror, but it soon becomes a mark
OF individuality. The child knows that
every one expects her to become hys-
terical at the sight of an animal and
naturally she does.
If we are going to change the child's
behavior, We have to change our ex-
pectations of that behavior. Even if
she is frightened, she need not exhibit
her fright in such uncontrolled man.
ner, and she would not If We expected
her to act otherwise
The most helpful attitude for the
mother to assume is that the child is
improving. even If the evidences are
not Immediately apparent to weak eyes.
The first step is to pretend that we no
longer recognize it. A dog that is left
unmolested is not q source of danger
to any child. and the child should be
told this constantly. If the subject is
discussed at all, it should be with this
attitude. Polly used to be afraid of
dogs when she was little, but now she
knows they won't hurt her. and she
isn't the least afraid" Polly NAV still
cling TO her mother and look askance
at any friendly, shifting dog, but she
is imbued with the idea that she isn't
as afraid as she used to be. and shortly
she discovers that she isn't.
One should not try to shame fear out
of a child. nor ridicule it out of her
but one can suggest it away, and thus
sell him or her the idea that the fear
is no longer there.

ELEVENTH ANNUAL RALLY OF
4.H CLUBS OF KENT COUNTY

Arrangements are being made by
Helen L. COmstock for the eleventh
annual rally of All clubs in Kent
county on Dover Green, Saturday,
May %. This gathering is in the ma
ture of an achievement day for the
many boys and girls in the county
who have completed the project of
work that they had undertaken in
the fall. .....
One feature of the day will be a
style show. In each of the first
three years of clothing club work,
dress is required-for the first year,
a kimonO dress; for the second year,
d dress with set-in sleeves, and for
the third year either a good summer
dress or a made over dress. 1t is eX-
pected that seventy-fve girls will
take part in the style show, wearing
the dresses that they have made in
their clubs in the many cOmmuni-
ties of the county.
The club roll call has become an
annual event at the rally. Each club
responds with some little stunt, drill
or song, Origina or otherwise. The
response which is adjudged the best
is awarded scholarship to the Jun
ior Short Course at Newark, June 16
to 20.
Games and singing will have
part in the day.
