LEMON MANICURE.
A lemon manicure is new to many. First prepare a little bowl of boiling hot soapy, water, then squeeze in a'few drops of lemon juice. This will make a fragrant and softening lotion to soak the finger tips before filing. After the nails have been trimmed, dig them into the half lemon and rub the juice well in. This removes all stains from the nails and from the skin under them.
If the nails arc kept clean regularly with the lemon in this way there "will be little need for orango stick or nail brush, both of which tend to make matters worse in the end.
A few drops of lemon juice Tubbed round the cuticle keeps it soft and white.
Finally the hands themselves should be nibbed over with a lemon freshly out. If this is dono at night the juice should be allowed to dry on till the hands are washed in the morning. Amazingly white hands and well-kept nails will result from this lemon manicure.
The routine use of slices of cut lemon in the water used for washing the hands helps to soften it and keep the skin in order.
