 There is something so luxurious about the best modern manicure. They call these de luxe manicures hand make -up" at the swanIky Peggy Sage studio where society and stage stars have their nailes done. Tho yare every bit of that, for they do not stop at the tips of the fingers. They add all sorts of hattering touches.
 There are three salient steps in this hand make-up." First, filing the nails. Second, applying the poll ish. Third, massage and final make up.
 Always Use Emery Board
 Filing the nails, according to Miss Sage, is comparable to mold to achieving the right "line" in your dress. Use an emery board, Nnever a file, and file very, very carefully. shape the nail up from the lower edge of the white tip. Carefully bevel the edges. Never file down into the corners or cut them. It makes hangnails.
 After filing, bun your nails be- fore you soak them. This pre- pares base for your enamel and keeps your nails from getting soggy while soaking. Soak one at a time, then dry carefully and work around cuticle with an orangewood stick wrapped in cotton and dipped inti cuticle remiver. Cuticle should not be a bother. If properly tended it should never to be cut, should stay pushed back, showing the half moons. If yours doesn't behave according to Hoyle, then use cuticle soap for washing 1t, cuticle cream at night and always use cuticle oil after finishing @ manicure. Rub 1t in gently, massagfng each finger in turn.

There are about 50 shades of red alone, and bronze, gold, platinum, violet, and even onyx, though all shades not red were originated for evening wear to match costumes. The three newest daytime shades are fire-engine red, which goes with pastels, light blues and light grays; a brilliant red for costumes with an undertonc of blue mad oxblood, q color created for the new wine, taupe, eel brown, and other off-browns of this win ter's costumes color card. How you put your color on counts as much us the shade you pick. The new enamels are thick. One coating is sufficient. Squeeze the little brush against the neck of the bottle to get the excess off. Then outline you nail, around the half-moon, down both sides across the top white-lino, then fill in. Thin gives you smooth surface. If your hand is unsteady and you havo run over, dip an orange stick into enamel remover and carefully straighten the outer edges.
 Massage Up to Elbow
 Last, but very important in the de luxe manicure comes the mas sage. First, cuticle oil Is used care. fully around the cuticle. Then the entire hand and arm, up to the el- bow, Is given a first class massage with hand cream. This is wiped off, then astringent Is used, and a flne finish of fragrant flesh tinted To- ton is used that leaves a velvety finish. finer than powder.
 There are various kinds of cream for this hand and arm massage. The important thing is to use one of them and really massage each hand and arm.
