Suggested Tips
For Enhancing
Your Hands
By Patricia Lindsay

For nearly 30 years 4 vell-known
beauty authority has devoted her
time to the study Of hands, their
care and their beauty. From her
experienced notes We offer these tips
for summer hand care:
When shaping the nail, use an
emery board and run it across the
nail rather than deep at the cor
ners. The nail must cling to the
fingertip to be strong.
Bun nails before applying liquid
polish. This smoothes the nails and
you get = prettier painting job. 1t
also peps up the circulation Of the
blood which feeds the nails.
For ragged cuticle, dip gauze strips
In manicure oil and wrap them
around the fingertips. A little oil
goes long ways If used in this FASH
ion and does 4 grand job OF soft
ening. Leave strips on for IS min
utes while you read or rest.
TO tidy up after painting on your
polish, dip = cotton tipped orange
wood stick into polish remover and
run 1t around the nail frames light.
".
Let first coat OF polish dry before
applying the second. For longer pol
ish wear, use polishield-that color
less nail lacquer.
Funny As 1t may seem, your nm
gers require specific exercises If you
desire to keep them timber and slim.
Here are. two movements designed to
keep fingers graceful and timber.
l. Stretch your fingers like 4 fan.
Then, working on the left hand first,
spread your thumb and little finger
far apart as possible with the right
hand. Then switch to thumb and
third finger, thumb and middle nm
ger, thumb and index finger. Push
each pair apart as far as possible.
Then work on right hand in like
wise manner.
2. Make 4 circle with the thumb
and first finger. Then stretch the
three free fingers as much Is you
can. Alternate, using thumb and each
finger In turn, always stretching the
free fingers. Some stretches will be
more difficult than others, but prac-
tice with each hand until your nm
gers quickly respond to your bid
ding.

one small planting should provide
the family with a liberal supply
from early June until frost.
Beginning in July, paintings
should be made of the fall crops.
Choose from these: Spinach, en-
dive, corn salad, kale and mustard
green's.
Most of these crops are fairly
easily grown and are troubled with
few insects and diseases Give
them a fairly rich moist soil and
clean culture that they may make
rapid, tender, succulent growth.
Without feeding there is the danger
OF slow, tough growth that is
neither f1avorsome nor tender.
Moisture is needed for rapid growth,
Aphids (plant lice,, sometimes are
troublesome on some of these crops.
but they are controlled easily by
spraying with nicotine sulphate and
soap. A hard blast from the garden
hose will knock them onto the
ground and kill them.
In harvesting the greens it is
we'll to gather them in the early
