Nail Biting Habit

to my of

Many men have called attention the unlovely habit biting fingernails and they have urged me to shame female culprits into desisting.

It is quite understandable when a young child bites his nails, and the wise parents will get to the root of what causes him to do it without delay. He may be very

care

But when a girl over twelve years of age bites her nails, or a woman, and continues to do sol

to after her attention is called the habit, nothing can help but her own sheer will power. As a child she may have had a case of nerves or a deficiency, but she is old enough to investigate the trou- ble and correct it. No amount of offered rewards will cure her of the beauty-robbing habit—it is, up to her alone to desist.

If

Why Do You Do It?

you

you bite your nails should ask yourself three ques-

tions:

1.Are you nervous and why are you nervous? 2-Is It. just a habit which you enjoy? 3-Are you lacking something in your life] which you terribly desire? -

DA

Wise- beauties keep their naila nicely-shaped and groomed- and prettily accented by rich, lovely shades.

Cool Charm

If you are nervous don't waste ter as gall. This you paint be the best thing I know of to help another day until you and out neath your nails every morning you with your problem, other than At the first your own determination to let what is making you nervous. If with an orange stick. you are not healthy, sacrifice bite you are reminded of your your nails grow and to keep them very attractive that some pleasure and go pay a. phy: odious habit and the taste is bad looking so sician to tell you what to do about enough to keep you from taking they will be a definite beauty as-

That is about set. the condition. If you are a the second bite. chronic worrier take yourself in hand and stop worrying. Biting your finger-nails doesn't help the situation any-in fact the odds are more against you if you do. It is simply ridiculous for a grown girl or woman to sit chewing and tearing her nails because all may not be serene in her life.. Face the trouble and do something, about it. Don't be a jellyfish, for no man (and very few women). has patience with a spineless female!

If for some inexplicable ren- son you enjoy biting, your finger- nails and seeing them. torn down to your cuticle and of the most unlovely shape, then you should be soundly and thoroughly spank- ed! Why not take to tearing out) your hair for enjoyment, or pull- ing out your eyelashes one by one? Either habit would be no more torturous for others.to watch, than biting your nails, and you might just as well go around without eyelashes as without fingernails, as far as your beauty rating is con cerned.

If you answer the third ques- tion in the affirmative; and you do terribly want something which you cannot seem to get you inust be the brave little lady and maker the best of it. Reaching for stars is not always satisfactory. Per haps, what you have not got, yet desire so terribly," "Isn't really worth fussing about. You are probably piqued "over. someone; or something without which your life will be just as enjoyable--perhaps more so... Instead of biting your naila insa pout, sit down and cleverly plan to get a substitution for the missing thing or missing someone, which will dim the other into obscurity.
