he drove.
Janet Carstairs is back in

had to know what Ken would say,
remembering that morning in New
York five months ago when she
had seen them together.
Ken had explained everything
about how he had once been en-
gagged TO Janet, but the engage
ment had been broken. He hadn't
really cared for the girl. They had
found definitely they were not
suited to each other. She had gone
to California and he hadn't seen
her until that morning In New
York when he had met her by
accident But now she was back
in Pennington.

at her. He had told her that Janet
didn't mean anything. but he had

her at the party this afternoon.
They said she was going to be at
the Country club dance tonight.
Is she awfully pretty. Ken" She
mustn't let him know that she had

Apply your polish in up and down
strokes, brushing from the base to
the tips. If you want your nails to
look longer, cover both moons and
tips. And to make your polish more
lasting, carry it over the edge and
under the tip. Do this for protection
even if you like white hair-line at
the tips You can put that on after
wards, if desired, with an opaque
white polish.
Two and sometimes three coats of
tinted polish, plus final sealing
coat of colorless base is good trick
to know, if you want to raise your
nails and dress them up to the lac
quered perfection that screen stars
achieve.
AS for the shade of polish you wear,
there is only one rule that applies.
1t should maintain some harmony
with your lipstick and your costume.
Smart colors for nails are keyed to
new cosmetic and fashion shades and
give you every red in the spectrum to
facilitate your choice. Some of the
newest of these are candy colors. such
as lollipop, rosy violet-red, and but
terscotch, rosy amber brown, each
of which can be harmonized with lip
sticks or matched exactly to candy
themes in costumes.

length, keep the sides square. The
more square nails are at the sides,
moreover, the better support there is
and the fewer casualties you have.
Since slenderness of hands is the
cameras ideal. Louise uses trick to
create the illusion of more ethereal
slimness. It's simple, too, and you
might want to use it. File the nail of
the middle finger little shorter than
you do the Others. Then slightly grad
uate and increase the lengths of the
other nails as you go to the outside
of the hand.
Evening star., 1941-06-08

Your filing done, smooth down any
ridges or roughness on the face of the
nails with the fine side of your emery
board. Then, soak your cuticle. When
it is dry or horny, you can shred it off
more easily if you will rub soap-and-
oil dressing around the base of the
nail before you begin to soak your
fingers.
. Your cuticle softened, dry your
fingers, rub oil or cream over each
cuticle. and begin your probe. For
that, use the flat end of an orange
stick, cotton-wrapped or rubber

hooved, and press gently. Brutal dig
ging with steel instruments frequently
causes the nail to split up in layers
and invites disfiguring scars. If you
will push the cuticle downward when
you manicure your nails - and con-
tinue to do that with a towel each
time you wash and dry your hands -
you won't ever need to use scissors or
nippers, yet you can exhibit ovals as
sharply outlined as medallions.
Pvmies Suves Cutting
Nor will you need to do much cut
ting at the corners of the nails, where
calluses form, if you will whet the
thickened skin gently with piece of
pumice. Where there are stubborn
stains on the fingers, apply dab OF
household ammonia, or one of the
ready made bleaches, and then rub
pumice over the spot.
Now, return your fingers to your
basin of soapy water All oil must be
removed and the nails must be bone
dry before surfaces are coated.
The base coat - a colorless jacket
for the nails - is important ON three
counts. 1t keeps polish out of the
grooves. thus giving you smoother
surfaces. 1t gives polish longer wear.
And it strengthens nail tips.

The reason is that the nail at the tip
is dead, and Nature has little interest
in it. Her concern is for new nail
growth, which she issues at the rate
of about l-32 of an inch week. What
happens to old growth, pushing out
