Groom Your Fingertips
By BETTY CLARKE AP Beauty Editor

Give yourself home manicure you don't have to stop mani curing for the duration just be- cause your favorite beauty oper- ator has taken a war job.
 First, make sure you have the proper equipment. An orange wood stick, emery board, nail brush, polish remover and cot ton are all muSts.
 Don't cut your cuticle. If cut, an unattractive ragged edge will form around the nail in few days.
 Remember, if fingernails are extremely dry, to use cuticle oil nightly. To remove ink or cig- arctic stains on hands and fin gers use cuticle remover. If very stubborn, use pumice stone. When old enamel becomes thick, thin out with solvent and not with remover.
 Florence Pearsall, whose hands are insured for $40,0O0, demon strates how she gives herself a home manicure:

 "Ius a bit confusing" she admits, "as the boys don't call me BlOndie any mOre."
 Of the clothing bottleneck in Africa Miss Bateman writes:
 The Arabs are strictly up against it for material and it takes so darn much to make a dress for one of them. They would give you almost any thing for a sheet. COnsequnt- ly tn hospitals and hotels were missing sheets for while. One Arab was seen dressed in a GI barracks bag with a name and serial number on the seat
 Says Miss Bateman of the mar ital relationship:
 Sometimes you see hack or buggy pass with an Arab win all his harem. They all sit in the back and look at each other. They are herded around like a bunch of sheep and seem to thing nothing of it.
