The care of the hands does not begin and end in manicure, but it is a very important part, for how- ever elegant and expressive the shape of the hand may be, ill cared for nails destroy its beauty. "

It is generally found by protes sional manicurists that toen have better Daila than women. That sounds rather astonishing but the reason is that they do not as a general rule attempt to manicure themselves. There

are "certain things which everyone can and should do for their own nails, saca As pushing down the quicks after every washing, and carefully filing off any broken end if the nail should be split or otherwise harm ed, but a great deal more harm than good is often done by amateur manicurists.

The quick and the flesh round the nail is very tender, and if il used hard corn-like growths and hang nails are apt to develop. Too frequent or wrong polishing oftea results in ridges and imperfections arising on the nail itself.

The wisest thing is to have regular professional manicure, once a fortnight is enough for most people, and to consult the mani- curist as to the best method of treating the nails between your visits..

I have myself been fairly regular- ly to the Darrelle Beauty Shoppe for a manicure and have always been delighted with the result. The manicurist is very careful, and will not take any risk of spoiling the nails for the future in order to make her task easier at the moment.

Of course, we all, I mean we women, dislike the thought of dis carding our pretty silken undica for warmer garments even if it be only for a short while but what you loose in slenderness you certainly gain in another sort of beauty, for no woman can look her best when she is suffering from cold; or what is even worse, frum a cold, and warm undies are made now-a-days with almost as little bulk as silk ones.

Silk and wool, or the very "finest all wool, are woven into vests and combinations, which are warm, light. pretty and very little thicker than Celanese. You can see some excel- lent examples in Lane, Crawford's Ladies' Department, of the "Thota" and Morley" make, both excel- lent filme with a high reputation for good workmanship and mate riala.

A great advantage of these undies is that they are made with shoulder straps or the neatest French necks, so that there is no need to change them, and in consequence to shiver, when you get into evening dress.

You can, of course, if you prefer have a short sleeve.
