and YOU will frequently see hands
Of this type, but they are NOT 90
common In real life.
Some girls have small hands ana
short fingers. but the fingers ara
weIl-tapered !; that Is. they are some
what pointed. being narrower II the
tips than they are al the base. WITH
this sort OF hands the malls can ',e
pointed, although the point should
be rounded somewhat, and the nails
should not be as long as those worn
with longer fingers.
"sensibie" Nails Always Correct
Ii you can't decide what type Of
hands you have. study the hands OF
other women you meet. TO see
whether your own are i0nger or
shorter than the average. Perhaps
you never formed the habit OF no
ticing hands before. You will soon
learn TO recognize the various tynes,
and to decide what class your own
hands lit into.
or course, It's also well TO consid.
er your occupation In shaping your

tipping or housework. It's not wise
to choose long nails. as they will
frequently break or split. Better
be satisfied with neat, rounded lin
gernails than to have four long ones
and the fifth only halfway grown

In my next column, two weeks
from today. I'll have some useful

they will be attractive on every

must .tit'' your hands just as your

Short Malls for Blunt Fingers
Look at your own hands. ff you
have d small square hand with
short, blunt fingers. II would be
ridiculous for you to wear extremely
pointed nails. which might look like
artificial claws stuck on the ends
OF your fingers. Instead, we.r your
nails rather short and rounded. and
don't let them extend any farther
than the tips OF your fingers.
If your fingers are broad and
somewhat square at the ends, but
still! long. the nail shape should be
about the same as the first case
but the curve of the nails can be
longer so that the oval projects
slightly beyond the tips Of the
fingers.

long, tapering fingers can wear hei
nails as long and as pointed as she
wishes. Since her hands do moi

And, just to keep the record up to date, dur

CHANGE
TOBEF|RSTD
BILL STUDIED.
Special Session to
Speed Measure

Legislation providing for mod
ernizing the Juvenile Court will be
the first District measure likely
to go through the special session
Of Congress next month, it was in
dicated at the Capitol today.
The bill setting up a chancery
proceeding instead of q criminal
procedure in handling the cases
Of minors already has passed both
the Senate and the House. It is
now in conference for a settle
ment Of differences between the
House and Senate, particularly in
connection with the manner in
which cases shall originate,
whether with an officer Of the
court or with an assistant corpora
ton counsel.
The conferees met a day or two
before Congress adjourned and
after a preliminary canvassing OF
the situation decided to let the bill
go until the next session.
ACTION sPEEDED
Ordinarily this would have
meant that the measure would not
be taken up until January, but the
special session is expected to bring
about prompt consideration.
Conferees representing the
House include Representatives
Palmisano, Maryland; Nichols,
Oklahoma, and Dirksen, Illinois,
while the Senate is represented
by Senators King, Utah; Copeland,
New York: Tydings, Maryland,
and Austin, Vermont.
AGE LIMIT RAISED
The bill raises the age limit
Of cases coming under the Juvenile
Court from II to IS and radically
modifies the procedure Of the
court. There is, however. a gen.
eral disposition at the Capitol to
enact the measure, and it is not
expected that there will be pro-
tracted discussion in conference.
It was recalled today, however,
that the first attempt to moder-
nize the Juvenile Court, which
was made in 1914 under President
Taft, failed because of inability
Of conferees to agree after both
the Senate and House had passed
modernization bills. A similar at
tempt in 1928 came to naught
without the measure even reach
ing conference.
