A Fur Winter —Its Luxury and Comfort

that no one said they danced too much, and were both thin and nervy ? - Therefore I should say, to have an ideal figure get really fit, exercise in the open air as much as possible. If there is anything that needs special attention for perfect shapeliness, attend to it in an approved scientific manner, by special exercise, massage, or other specific treatment. Eat to be well, not to be thin or fat. Your Hands Reveal Your Age. As a rule when a women washes her hands she does not use enough soap. By this I mean that she does not use the soap to advantage. Soap is very softening, so when you have washed your hands clean you should again apply soap, and rub and massage the hands until it is all absorbed into the skin. By doing so, you will find your hands both whiter and smoother, even in the cold weather. After all the soap is rubbed in do not rinse the hands, but dry with a towel. If you have anything to do with saddlery, or leather of any sort, yQu will at once recognise the softening effect that saddle soap has 011 it, and if applied daily as it sliould be the leather in time becomes like a suede glove—all done by soap and rubbing. Cream is good for the hands, and rosewater and glycerine, and glycerine and witch hazel are all excellent. Hands give away age far more easily than faces. I can generally tell a woman's age by looking at her hands. Nails require almost a whole article to themselves, but here are a few hints for those who like them bright:— Paint with a colourless varnish from the half moon, to about the sixteenth of an inch from the tip, having first "bleached" the half moon and tip with peroxide, so that it is a pure white, now polish with an ordinary polisher, first having rubbed the varnished part, with any good nail paste.

There is a medieval feeling in the way many of them hug the neck in a smooth line up from the shoulders. Pique and organdie bows and scarves are still promenading everywhere. The new muffs are large, flat affairs, usually of fox, and are amusing when carried with furless coat. For the evening there is a new transparent crepe that looks like crinkled tissue paper, and is lovely in a combination of magenta and red for a dress with an exciting neckline—or rather lack of it. Amusing details are the new feather helmet liats and gloves. The stocks and scarfs that fold high around the neck in 1890 dandy fashion, the hook-and-ball fasteners, and the entertaining way in which fur is used. Hats Will be Youthful This Season. Hats will be youthful this season, crowns will be higher and will be decorated by tucks and pleatings. Hats will be worn well forward, tipped over the right eye. For sports wear the smart woman will wear a tailored, mannish stylo with a ribbon trim, and all bows must be directly in the back. For afternoon, toques and turbans are chiefly in velvet, a few in wool, and some in taffetas, and for Riviera wear, in straws of all sorts and colours. For evening wear, toques and turbans will be equally popular, but they must be made of more sheer materials. Tulle and net will be used with a trimming of the same material at the back for night wear. Feathers and ostrich will be used for trimming. Emerald green will be popular. Dark shades of grey will be considered smart, and there is a new shade of ruby that promises to become popular.
