the fingers look more tapering.
The habit of leaving a fine line
without polish at the sides of
each nail, adds to this illusion
also.
S. If your hands are not so soft
as you would like them, apply
cream to them before washing
them and a lotion afterwards.
Sometimes sleep with cream on
the hands at night. using cotton
gloves or hand mitts.
s. Be sure that your hands are
restful and graceful. Do not strum
or tap or f1dget. Let them rest
quietly in your lap, or on the
arm Of your chair. Do not make
too many or too vigorous gestures.
z. Do not put your hands in hot
water any more than absolutely
necessary.

Our hands are much more in
evidence than most of us remem-
ber. They are so necessary to us.
and we take them so for granted,
that too often we fail to realize
what a big part they play in the
picture we create as individuals.
They are literally always in evi-
dence unless we sit on them.
There are many things we can
do to make our hands more at
tractive. Some people are born
with prettier or more attractive
hands than others. We cannot
change the shape, but good groom
ing. softness, tone, grace or move
ment and a few tricks in nail
polish. can make them lovelier
Here are a few suggestions.
l. OF course you must give your
nails faithful care. I take this
for granted.
2. Nails which are too long are
repulsive to many people. Be
reasonable in this matter.
8. II your cuticle is rough. use
cuticle cream each night. Mas

is very helpful.

Miss Kirkwood belongs to two
women's organizations in yelling
ton, but says that New Zealand
women. for the most part. are not
as much engaged in club work as
women here. They are too busy
keeping the home fires burning
literally speaking. There Is no
central heating in the homes and
hardly any domestic help. she
pointed out. Dairy and sheep
farming is one of the country's
biggest industries and the farm
wife plays a large role in the busi-
ness operation.
When she first arrived, Miss
Kirkwood said she was confused
at references to "the South" "the
Middle West" and the Far West"
until she learned they referred to
sections of the country. That's
why she's most understanding
when people ask her "in what part
of Australia did you say you
work?" Actually, Australia is 10
hours by plane and a three-day
journey by ship from New Zealand.

that I feel right at home. OF
course there are some small differ

One of Miss Kirkwood's most
vivid first impressions is the "tre-

Fashions
Darling
By EIeni

Newest fashion darling is the
ensemble that can double as q
coat and/or suit.
Sometimes skirt and jacket
may be made up in a bubbly
heavy-looking but light wool, or
the jacket-coat will be in a
textured fabric and the skirt in
a plain wool for contrast.
Washington women will take
to this costume idea. At least,
those women who know what
the weather is like here will. It
can be "a sometime thing" with
one day cool, the next luke
warm, and the next downright
cold. This type of ensemble,
particularly the three-piece va
riety with jacket, skirt, and a
wool jersey blouse-top, will meet
any temperature adequately.
All our pictured coat-Suits
are available in a fine F street

American clubwomen who are
working so tirelessly to get out
the vote in this falls election
might well envy their sisters in
New Zealand.
For there, the distaff side of
the voting population "automati-
lcally accepts the vote as a re-
sponsibility," declared one of their
number on a visit here yesterday.
In fact. it came as great sur
prise to Miss Henrietta Kirkwood
that women would have to be
urged to exercise their franchise
rights.
"The only kind of arrange
ment we have on election day."
the friendly New Zealander ex-
planned, "is that each party ar
ranges to have cars to transport
the sick and elderly OF the polls. If
person is too sick to go to the
polls, then special ballot is pro-
vided so he will not have to leave
his home"
Miss Kirkwood, a home econom-
ist, arrived in San Francisco just
last Thursday after a long plane
flight from her homeland. Yes
terday she wound up a brief visit
here which included a meeting
with United States Office of Edu.
