HINTS FOR LADY DRIVERS.

'TALE HANDS" FOR THE GIRL

MOTORIST.

The girl who runs a car or a motor cycle is apt to despair of ever possessing lily-White and cared-for looking hands, for there is always something to be done to make them grimy and rough. Of course she can put off doing dirty jobs until there is someone else to help; but it is much more satisfactory to treat the hands before "tinkoring" with the engine.

_ It may be possible to buy a preparation to rub on the hands which makes the dirt very easy to remove; but in an emergency a little engine oil rubbed in before starting work has the same effect. All lady motorists are in danger of having jet-tipped finger nails, and before starting on a run or doing any work on the engine it is a good plan to scrape them on a cake of soap. This facilitates later work with the nail brush.

Cold cream or oil should be used in preference to glycerine preparations. And the golden rule on a return from a run is to wait and warm the hands before washing, or purple, swollen hands will result, and the "pale hands" will be farther away than ever.
