Manicure parades are a daily feature in the life of 200 girl workers at a certain Yorkshire _ silk mill. They have their’ finger nails inspected by a staff manicurist as a safeguard against damage to the silk yarn. Girls with highlypolished, coloured, and too pointed nails; those who, through housework, have hard skin round their nails; and others in the habit of biting them have to undergo a “trimming” process by the “detective" manicurist after an inspection parade. “•We have to guard: against these ‘awkward’ nails,” said one of the staff, “it not, serious damage might, be done to the silk yarn in the lacing process.”
