The Hands
Finger treatment requires no expensive outlay; good skin foods can be used to keep the skin sup- ple and white, but a bottle of liquid paraffin will give excellent results if used regularly
The cuticles of the nails should be smeared with a trace of vase- line and then a little paraffin should be poured into the hollów of one palm. Proceed to rub it well into both hands, using, a rot- ary movement of the thumb of one hand down the length of each the finger, working .always from nails towards the wrists and treat- ing first the, inside and then the back of the hands. Finish by -wringing the hands loosely with a rotary movement of the wrists. The following exercise is ex- cellent for keeping the fingers slender and supple. Hold the hand palm upwards, stretching the thumb out stiffly; and keeping It quite still during the exercise. Then "bend your first-finger until it touches the ball of the thumb without moving the other fingers. Return the first finger, to its ori- ginal position and, proceed with the others in turn. At first, if your hands are stiff, you will not find this an easy. performance, but practice will make perfect,
