ways toward nourishing the mai! bed

to tuck into week end bag because
it is so light. We are most enthusiastic
about these new composition con-
tainers that are rapidly replacing the
heavy glass jars for various kinds OF
cosmetics.
THEN, II you have got some bad
stains on your fingers from cigar
cites. Ink or from handling vegetab ables
and fruits. we know Of an easy method
OF removal. A clear liquid Is applied
with a pad OF cotton to the annoying
spots and worked under the nails
with an orange stick. This is another
one Of those Springtilne necessities
for every bath room shelf, and it Is
not expensive, either.
If you have gone in for gardening
or housecleaning in a bigger way than
you had intended, and forgotten to
wear gloves on several occasions,
there is splendid new fingertip treat
ment that will help you out Of your
difficulties. This consists Of q nail
brush, small bottle Of lotion and an
orange stick with a little rubber tip.
Dip the stick into the bottle of creamy,
sea-green lotion and then work around
the cuticle and under the nails. Next
dampen the nailbrush and pour few
drops Of the liquid on 1t and work
up into a nice lather to use on your
hands. After thorough scrubbing
you will be able to push back the
cuticle and remove the old loose par
ticles. Your hands will then be ready
for shaping and polishing the nails.
But do try to remember to wear
gloves when you are working around
the house and garden. We know of
some excellent ones OF soft, light tex
ture that are treated with cream on
the inside to make your hands extra
soft while you have them on. They
may also be worn at night as beauty
gloves. They come In small, medium
and large sizes, and are good for
everything except use in water. For
this purpose we suggest some very
thin, yet sturdy, latex gloves, with
rough-textured fingers to keep glass
and china from slipping through them
when wet. These are splendid, and
come with q special jar Of hand cream
for $100.

JUST in time for the first real vaca-
ton week end Of the season comes
the news about two kinds Of sun To-
tions, one to keep you lily white and
the other to allow you to tan gently
and painlessly.
For those who prefer to keep their
skins soft and white, the milky sun
lotion will make an immediate ap-
peal. 1t is thicker than regular hand
lotion and very soothing. It Is quickly
absorbed and leaves no trace Of sticki-
ness, yet 1t is made to give complete
protection from the burning rays Of
the sun. A bottle can easily be car
ried in the golf or beach bag.
For those who want to acquire q
rich, natural tan without painful
burning, the same firm is Offering a
sun brown oil. It is we'll known
fact that ordinary vegetable or min
eral oils give only partial protection
against burning, even when copiously
applied. This oil, however, is said to
contain special constituents which
have an additional element Of protec-
ton that will make a, more thorough
job than the average oil. It is not
sticky and soon sinks into the skin,
so that you will not look like we'll
creased channel swimmer when you
take your little dip in the ocean or
loll upon the beach.
