Beauty
Nails Improve
With Care
BY DONNA GRACE

Nice nails are the rule now.
Every girl knows that good groom.
ing means wellcared-for hands
and nails, and she would not
think of neglecting her manicure
or hand lotions.
There is a variety of manicure
methods and we believe it is
advisable to change the system
from time to time, as new treat
ments are frequently quite salts
factory and are always Stimu-
lus to our efforts to improve our
selves.
The home manicure can be a
very thorough and professional
one if one will take the time to
follow directions, but we advise
everyone to go to a first-clasS
salon, occasionally at least, to
have an expert shape the nails
and give the cuticle a smooth,
even line.
We will tell you of one nice
method of a combined manicure
and hand and arm treatment that
may be had. The velvet manicure.
one of the leading salons calls it,
and this is how it is done:
The nails of the left hand are
shaped as usual, and the cuticle is
pushed back around the base and
sides of the nails. Then the whole
hand and arm up to and includ-
ing the elbow is covered with a
hot substance of a somewhat glori-
fled paraffin.
A large sheet of wax paper is
placed under the hand and lower
arm and when the application is
finished the arm and hand is
wrapped in the paper and left in
the sealed package while the right
hand and arm are done in the
same way.
When the right arm is finished,
the left hand and elbow is un-
wrapped, and when the paraffin
glove is removed, the skin will
be soft and lovely. Then the nails
and cuticle are finished in the
regular way. The cuticle is soft
and very easy to press back or
trim.
The emery board is used to
smooth the nail tips, then the
nail tips, then the hands and
arms are massaged with cream
and finished with smooth lotion.
The tips of the fingers are thor
oughly scru bbed, rinsed and
dried, and before the polish is
applied, it is nice to pat them
with toilet water. Wet the cotton
pad in ice water; then spray it
with toilet water and sponge the
nails quickly with the refreshing
finish. This will help to keep the
polish smooth.
If you are not sure you can do
q first class professional mani
cure, then send for my method.
There is no charge for it. Just
enclose a stamped, Self-addreSSed
envelope for your reply. Address

Etiquette
Plans Double
Shower
BY MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN


"Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
II have two girl friends who
are going to be married. I have
planned to give a double shower
for these girls, but I just cannot
think of any way to entertain the
guests, also how to present the
gifts to the girls? I will appre.
ciate any suggestions you are able
to give me, "T."
I'm sure that you won't find 1t
necessary to plan to have any defi-
mite. entertainment at a shower,
for there are always so many
things to talk about and when
the shower is a double shower"
there are double that many things
to discuss.
Your shower may be in the form
of luncheon party or a tee party,
and you may, if you wish, provide
for bridge or other card games
after luncheon or before tea. But
the main event is the giving of
the shower presents, and the obs
and abs and chatting about the
presents, and the serving of the
refreshments, will make the hours
fly.
For the assembling of the
shower gifts, have as charming
a container as you can buy or
make. In the stationery or box
department of a department
store you will find large boxes
already attractively and appro-
priately covered, or ready for you
to cover. Or gaily cover a
clothes basket for the occasion,
and put the presents in this. Or,
if they are of small size, group
them attractively as a center
piece for the dining room table,
or for a side table.

STYLES

Many of the swankiest tailored
suits boast lace gilets. They are
dainty and soft and provide just
the right background for a beauti-
full clip, brooch, or treasured
strand of pearls. Some of the
daintiest gilets have lace fronts
and collars and net backs with
elastic in the waistline. Others
are backless; others are really all
over lace blouSeS with, short
sleeves. Alencon, yards of Val, or
net are the favored materials. If
you visit the smart neckwear de-
partmentS or lace yardage depart

gilets to provide variety for your

The spot for the picnic is
across the Potomac on the West
Virginia side and is located on a
large flat rock high above the
main highway. Here you can also
plan on an outdoor meal, for,
while there are no fireplaces,
fires may be built with safety.
In taking this outing, it is pos
sible to go up to Harpers Ferry
on the Maryland side and return
to Washington through West Vir-
ginia and Virginia. There is little
difference in mileage.
If this plan is followed, drive
to Frederick, Nd, on Federal
Highway 240. At Frederick, leave
Federal Highway 240 to turn west
on Federal Highway $40. Cross
the Potomac over the toll bridge
at the Ferry.
In returning, follow Federal
Highway $40 to Charles Town.
There turn south on State Road
238. This leads into Washington.
For the menu, let's plan on a
barbecue in the modern manner.
For this you will need a grill of
metal, which can be purchased
inexpensively at any downtown
store. Also you will need a long
handled fork. The heavy iron
skillet is best for cookery, but any
type of pan or kettle can be used
and if soap is rubbed over the
outside of the kettle before being
placed over the open fire, the
black will come right off.

You are right. This friend
should extend the hospitality
of her home to you. And, since
you have called on her several
