WOMAN,S REALM -

0AAU&& Glorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
MA servlce stafr Wrlter


 Hands that move amidst fragile china and cleaning silver on the tea table, play bridge or applaud an especially good performance at the theater must be smooth and white and perfectly groomed, No beauty minded woman imagines for Q mos ment that the appearance of her hands, arms and elbows Is even a little bit less important than the way her hair Is done, how her gown Ats or the looks of her face and throat,
 Immediately after she stops go- ing to the country or beach every week end, gets the children off to school and Is ready to pick up the threads of her social life in town, she renews her attention to routines which improve her hands, She makes sure that she has two bottles of hand lotion-one in the kitchen, thS other in the bathroom, She applies lotion and messages 1t Into wrists and elbows and hands many times 0 day,
 Bleach OH Sun-tAn
 If she has decided to get rid of her. suntan as quickly as possible, she bleaehes tho skin on hands and arms with plain, fresh lemon juice, She always remembers, however, to use hand lotion or cream after the lemon juice has been applied, allow ed to dry and rinsod off,
 Two nights Q week she messages some of her regular night cream in- to hands and arms as we'll as face and neck, Or she may buy a Jar of special hand cream, apply it lavishly Just before going to bed, then wear clean, loose cotton gloves during tho night, Or she may put bit of warm olive ia two small bowls and soak her elbows in oil while ereamhAg her face or waiting for Q mask to dry, She knows that hot olive oil treatments work won- ders with elbows that arc rough and diseelered,
 She has or gives herself c thor ough manicure once Q week, At least once between manieures she goes over her nails with the fine side of an emery board, smoothing away rough edges then puts on e coat of fresh lacquer, She doesn't tolerate clipped or cracked polish for even an hour, The minute the coat on one nail shows signs of wear, of it comes,
 She never digs around the base of her nails with e sharp steel in- strument, and she wouldn't let Q manieuriSt do this either. She pushes eutiele back with Q towel after her hands have been in wa ter, And if tho eutiele on ono or two nails Is particularly stubborn about staying back, she diseiplines it via tho eutiele remover rather than miniature steel hoo method.
 Nails Are off-Rcd
 This fall, she files her nails Into medium length oyals, definitely frowning on extra long, pointed elaw-like effects, And she likes subtle laeauerS better than fam heyantly scarlet ones, Her favorite polish may Do e rich, deep shade, but 1t is more likely to be wine.red or purpliSh than clear red

RAISING A FAMILY
SCHOOL CHILD NOT CLOTHES CONSCIOUS
BY OliVe Roberls barlon

that I diseredit the worn and the mended, let me hurry to explain that nothing delights me more than to see little pants, skirts, sweaters and smoeks having their lives prolonged and doing their utmost in this world, I hate waste and love Q good sense of salvage, Here's to the reSoureeful mother who can take In seams, let them out and attend to coats, Who can darn, press and clean and then send her flock out with their heads up, neat, clean and as good as the next fellow,
 Wants Neatness, at Least
 The way children are sent to school has so much to do with their success, Once the child Is conscious that he is dirtier than he should be, he stops trying to be good and he won't study, It hardly ever fails, I've seen many a child suddenly retrieved by some sympathetic soul at home, or taken in hand at last by con- verted mother, come marching into the room as though he own- ed 1t, And almost invariably, If the renaissance was permanent, lessons and behavior improved,
 There has been tendency in upper schools and some colleges to emulate the gutter. It's a pity to say the least Shoes united, socks dragging, sweaters shape less and smelly. Children imi- tate their big brothers; I don't say sisters. for girls have gone the other way, mostly. The wise mother will do all she can to fight this carelesSneSs, insist on hair cuts and see that the family is- tied up, at least.

 All have gone to the Land of Lost Things. If a child went to school today with all the sartor- ial salvage he used to take for granted. he would feel like a specimen from a museum. In fact. he probably wouldn't go at all. Which all goes to show that children don't mind too much what they wear, but they do mind being different. This, they can't stand. Nothing makes them more wretched than being out of line with the rest of the class.
