eludes the endless pursuit Of the wise
men of the West. Daily they 60
romping through the fields of geog-
raphy, history, chemistry, bacteri-
ology and scores of others. including
how to be beautiful, charming and
devastating to the opposite sex.
Today. for example, they return
from the pursuit Of knowledge with
formula for keeping the hands supple
and flexible. which is very i'm
portant thing you may be sure. The
hardy publicity man who trudged back
to his typewriter with this great secret
had to go all the way to Anna May
Wong-who probably was working on
sound stage 8-to get it.
But to come quickly to the point of
how to have hands like Miss Wong, it
is a simple matter of walnuts. All
that is necessary is to follow the
example of Miss Wong, who always
goes around with walnut in each
hand, rolling them constantly with the
fingers. If the practice induces a
slight feeling of goodness at first, it
is due entirely to the fact that one
is breaking a lifetime habit of not
rolling walnuts in the hands. The
habit may prove stubborn in some of
the more severe cases Of non-supple
hands. but it Is breakable II the desire
for Wong-like hands is sufficiently
strong. The Warner Bros man who
is liberating women from non-supple,
the walnuts should be hulled, but in
view of the fact that they stain In
the unhulled condition it undoubtedly
would be well to remove the outer
surface. The most flexible hands in
the world would be unattractive other
wise.
incidentally, the recipe (who are
We, the woman's page) is one OF long
standing. High-caste Chinese have
been using it for centuries. thing
the walnut industry seems to have
overlooked in the promotion Of its
product in this country.
