Are you afraid to SHOW YOUR
HAND?
-You shouldn't be, because even if
its shape isn't perfect a well-cared-for hand always looks uttractive.
First rule for making your hands smart is to give them well-kept cuticles, fresh and bright pollah.
If you have been using scissors-make a resolution never to use them again. Every thicken and time you cut the cuticle you harden it, quite apart from the fact that if there are hangnails, steel instruments may Infect them. It is possible to get pain far below the visible edge of the nail us a resuit of infection starting at the sides or the tip. The right way to go about It

moisten it with an oily cuticle remover. Move the stick gently round the sides and base of the nail. This will soften and loosen the old cuticle which looks so horrid when it overlaps the nail.
Wash your hand in warm, soapy water, and wipe away the loosened particles of cuticle with t towel.

By a Young Man
WHAT leads a young man in a room crowded with people he has never met before, to choose one part- ner rather than another?
It is seldom that over-rated phenomenon, love at first sight. But there are various more credible reasons, excluding a blind and nervous dash to thei nearest unattached female-- though that is probably a com- moner explanation than may be realised.
Personally, I look at a girl's hands first. If her nails are scarlet, I avold her carefully. I know this sounds old-fashioned; but I am not sure that it is any more out-of-inte than the mall-painting custom itself, which should never have been re- vived when the Ancient Egyptians dropped it.
I have even seen the extremities of a confirmed nail-biter encarmined, and anything more revolting it is difficult to imagine.
Then, if her nails pass muster. 1 examine her face discreetly. Not to see. if her features are those of

NO MAN OBJECTS TO MAKE-UP
No man minds make-up if it is competently applied; but when pow. der clings to the nose like a threa tened avalanche, when lipstick en livens half a lip and leaves the other haif pale by contrast, and when ronge has given the upper features a rosente bloom while the chin and threat are left as Nature made them then he looks elsewhere for a partner.
