CARE OF THE HANDS

NAIL TREATMENT Proper care of the hands is not a ; difficult matter if attention is given i to the following suggestions:— When viewed from the side, the j nails should extend just far enough to j make a symmetrical linish to tlie I curve of the cushion of the finger. They should be long enough to pro- I tect the tips of the lingers; but they I should not protrude beyond them. * I The correct method is to round the tips to correspond with the rounded "half-moons” at the base of the nails. Trimming the nails so that they are ■ sharply pointed is a common fault i which should be avoided. It is possible to procure detailed instructions as“o nail treatment from j an y well-known make of manicure out- ; fit, which includes chemical bleaches ! and cuticle removers. These instrucI tions can be followed with confidence. Many women still use the steel nail file so popular a few years ago, but these should not find a place in your manicure outfit, as they are too harsh and liable to lacerate "the nails and cause imperfections. Yet Grant Them Health —Crabbe. There’s nr. surer way of granting health and freedown from the common cold, than by keeping a supply of Baxters Lung Preserver in the house.
