Anna May Wong
INCH-LONG FINGERNAILS Talking of Anna May Wong, the stage and film star who is at present visiting Australia, a Sydney writer says; "Her hands are the loveliest feature of the Oriental beauty—animated, slim, with nails lacquered a deep rose-tinted pearl and usually worn an inch above the finger. They were cut down to a-mere half-inch when Anna May thought she was to have piano lessons in Melbourne. " ‘Of course, nails are worn much longer in China, and are an indication of breeding and wealth,” said Anna May. "That’s all very well but I rinse my own stockings through.’ ”
