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

TRAP a piece of cotton wool round the end of an orange stick and 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,

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 the nearest unattached female- though that is probably a com- moner explanation than may bo realised.
Personally, I look at a girl's hands first. If her nails are scarlet, 1 Avold her carefully. I know this sounds old-fashioned; but I am not sure that it is any more out-of-date than the nall-painting custom itself, which should never have been re- vived when the Ancient Egyptians dropped it.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-biler encarmined, and anything more revolting it is

Then, if her nails pass muster, 1 examine her face diseréctly. Not to see if her features are those of n Helen of Troy (though that would no doubt be a recommendation), but to find out whether her make-up is obvious.
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 un- vens half a lip and leaves the other half pale by contrast, and when rouge has given the upper features a. roscate bloom while the chin and throat are left as Nature made them then he looks elsewhere for a partner.

IF
a nall begins to split or peel it should not be be velled at the edge to work away the broken part. Bevelling weakens the tip.
Of course if it is broken, it must be filed back beyond the broken part, but if a layer has begun to peel off simply Ble the edge clean and apply polish over the nail tip to protect the nail. Tite smoothness of the polish: will prevent your nail entching in your stockings.

"Oh, I've broken
a mirror!".
DO YOU KNOW WHY
THAT'S UNLUCKY?
¡T is supposed to be unlucky to look into a mirror by
I candlelight, because then the evil spirit is said to peer
over your shoulder. In savage countries the natives are afraid to see their reflections, and probably this is the reason they are superstitious about having themselves photographed.
To drop a mirror and break it was regarded by the ancienta as presaging the loss of a great friend. Napoleon happened to smash the looking-glass which covered a picture of Josephine and was in a fever of anxiety until he heard that she was safe, as he feared that her death would most certainly happen after the accident.
The probable reason of the bad-luck superstition attaching to mirrors comes from the days when looking- plaasca and crystal of all description, in addition to clear water (which was also used for reflection), were used as mediums for fortune-telling and futuristic prophecies.
