It may be put into a pot, and should be used each night after the hands have been washed with warm soapy water. A regular visit to a careful manicurist is an essential if you wish to have lovely hands, for it is extremely difficult to cut and trim your own nails properly. Nearly every amateur is tempted to cut or probe too far and most

There is a delightful collection of Canton shawls there now, in all the various grades and prices. It is always worth the extra money to get one with small stitch em broidery, because they are of better silk, and the embroidary threads never pull out, as those of the caraway and oil of sweet almonds, improved by clever trimming of the

AFTER EASTER. VOILE. AND ART SILK SUMMER FLOCKS.

The cotton voiles this season are mostly printed with the same small flower designs which are being used for niness and foulardes, although a certain number of voiles have patterns made up of conventional squares, circles or lines.

The material itself is cheaper this year than Inst, probably owing to the competition of artificial silk in the Home markets, and in conse- quence ready-mades, ever the ex- pensive type of semi-model are less costly.

I was looking on Monday at a selection which had then just been unpacked chez Pamela. The styles of these frocks are pretty with a distinctly decorative aspect in their little ruffes and general more femizine effect. The prices range from $15 to about $30. One has a flower pattern in tones of cheery beige and turquoise blue. The latter is used for a narrow piping which gives line. Very decorative is a dress of black and white check, with three rows of "pinafore " frills on the skirt, a wide sash and a white vest and collar.

By the same boat came a series of little-tailored frocks of artificial silk, some of them sleeveless. The designs are mostly stripes or broad checks, and a good finish is given by ties of printed crêpe de chine, and sudde.belts.

A possibility, even a certainty," of future power and distinction is surely a help rather than a hind- rance to the average young person. As a rule the adolescent, boy or girl is pathetically eager for self im- provement, and not only longs to have all the graces and accomplish- ments appropriate to high estate, but is willing and eager to work for them.
