AYER.
SEVERAL pretty girls and some who
want to be pretty have asked me
the best way to car* for the hands,
and I am going to answer them all at
once today.
Bessie, who is just fourteen, assures
me dolefully that her hands are ruined
forever because she has always bit ten
her nails, and still continues to bite
them. <>f course, if she goes on in this
pessimistic frame of mind her hands
will not improve. In the meantime,
my dear Bessie, don’t you think you
could make an effort and control your
self and stop biting your nails without
having to resort Io the treatment given
children, which consists in rubbing a
little extract of quassia on the finger
nails and the tips of the fingers each
time after washing them. The taste
of this extrait is very bitter, and it
will remind you that you are doing a
foolish thing and spoiling the looks of
your hands, which poets call the “sec
ond face.” and which should receive
all the care and attention you can give
them
It isn't difficult to have soft and
pretty hands, and I have known lots
of girls who did housework whose
hands were better looking than others
who never washed a dish and never
came In contact with a smoky and
greasy pot or pan.
First of all. you must take pains to
make the skin of your hands soft and
: w-hlte. A good cold cream or camphor
’ cream should be used for this As al-
I most all of the articles used for the
I hands can be bought chear>er than they
I can be made it Is better to go to a
reliable place and buy such things
rather than to experiment with for
mulas.
No matter how good the formulas,
unless you happen to have the knack
of making it properly, it will cost you
more than the article manufactured
by the wholesale, and consequently sold
at a moderate price
What To Use
Keep a small far of roid cream near
your washstand, and if you have kitch
en work to do. have it near the sink
It will pay you to make som* small
hand towels for your own particular
use In the kitchen, and every time you
wash your hands before drying them,
apph a little bit of cream or grease.

and then drv off thoroughly <>n your
own towel.
There should also be a piece of puna
ice stone and a' fresh cut lemon to
remove stains m ealloue spotsJi’fim the
hands.
If your hands are always very rough
take a little good oatmeal, boil it in
Kaier sufficient to make a thin gruel,
strain it through cheesecloth and add
a little more water; use this liquid in
stead of fresh water for washing the
hands. This is also good for washing
the face, especially for girls whose skin
chaps easily.
Few girls are willing to wear gloves
at night, and I think it I s more or less
torture even if the gloves are two or
three sizes too big But the same re
sults can he obtained that is. nice,
soft, white hands—if cold cream is used
frequently, and a good massage or
cleansing cream is thoroughly rubbed
Into the hands every night.
This treatment will sometimes fatten
hands, but ordinarily the hand does
not get plump until the rest of the
body fattens up. and very nervous peo
ple are not like!.'’ to have plump.hands
until their nerves are cured or con
quered. .
Red and swollen hands are usually
caused by tight lacing, or stricture
somewhere on the body: tight garters
will show in. this way. and so will tight
armholes, and very red hands after eat
ing are sometimes the effect of indi
gestion.
If you have much housework or
kitchen work to do. keep al! your old
gloves to wear at this time Rubber
gloves are excellent for dishwashing and
for some rough w ork with a scrubbing
gloves to crack or rot', be sure and clean
them very thoroughly before drying.
1 How To Manicure.
Now as to the care of the nails. You
only need a very few simple imple
ments. and If you take twenty minutes
1 once a week and two or three minutes
fvery day you ought to be able to keep
1 your hands in good condition. The in
struments you will need are an orange
wood stick, a nail file, some emery
boards, a nail clipper, a nail polisher
or piece of chamois, nail paste and pol
ish. Instead of liquid bleach, use lemon
juice on a little piece of cotton, rolled
round the point of your orange stick,
for bleaching discolorations under the
nail. First of all. c lip your nails in the
shape desired. Don’Kut them too long
or too pointed. File the edges and
.finish off with the emery until the edge
is perfectly soft and smooth. Wash the
hands thoroughly and soak the nails in
water; now press the skin or selvegc
around the nail gently away from the
base, sb that the half moon shows. If
thin, white skin clings to the nail, you
can get it away with the orange stick
and a little bit of powdered pumice. See
that the edges of 'he nail are cleaned of
this white skin.. You should press the
selvegc down every evening before go
ing to bed, as that will make the opera
tion very much simpler, and will keep
she nails in good condition, especially if
you dip .your fingers in oil. Always
keep the cuticle soft by generous ap
plication of cold cream or olive oil.
Wash the hands once again, applv a
little bit of rose paste and then polish
with the buffer and nail polish Ridges
on the nails are due to uric acid and
they can not be scraped or polished off.
but when this condition of the blood is
rectified, the nails will grow smooth
again.
If you've gotten your hands very
dirty, instead of washing them at once
in water, clean them off with cold
cream, vaseline, or olive oil. Then wash
them with pure soap and lukewarm wa
ter.
Dry Thoroughly.
Unless you dry your hands very thor
oughly. you needn't expect to have them !
soft. Girls are very careless about dry
ing their hands, and women who are no
longer in their first youth will find that
the skin of the hands begins to wrinkle
and grow dry unless a good deal of at- |
tention is paid them. The older woman
needs plenty of oil for her hands, either
in the form of cold cream or pure olive
oil. or some good skin food. ’ I
She should rub them every night and
she will be repaid for a little extra at
tention every day. The hand is a
dead giveaway of a womans age. I
have «een lots of women whose faces
have been skinned and operated on un
til the> looked thirty years younger
than th°y really were, but the hands |
have been forgotten, and proclaimed
the exact age which they were trying
to hide !

Anty Drudge Advises the Fireman
Fireman — “Morning, Anty Drudge! You had better
over to Mrs. Slims; she's terribly burned."
Anty Drudge- did it happen f"
Fireman — "Over-heated stove. Trying tn net the fire hot
enough to boil her clothes. Mv wife was badiv
burned last week doing the same thing."
Anty Drudge— “ Yes. I'll go right over. But look her®,
young man! Get your wife Fels-Naptha. Then sh®
won't have to boil the clothes. Just use hike •.'•arm''
or cool water: let the clothes soak for half an hour;
that's all there is to it."
Friendship begins with acquaintance.
All Fels-Naptha wants is an introduc
tion and it will become your boon com
panion in laundry and kitchen.
We are advertising to get Fels-Naptha
that introduction into nexx' homes.
Then we depend on the soap itself
to keep it there.
If Fels-Naptha wouldn’t do what
we claim; if it wouldn't wash clothes
quicker and better in cool or lukewarm
water without hard labor or boiling;
if it wouldn't save time, work, fuel and
health would over a million women
use it every washday ?
Not much.
But Fels-Naptha will do these things
and more; has done them and is doing
them for more and more progressive
women every year.
