Hands And Nails Require Special Care In Winter

Hands and finger nails require careful treatment at this season of the year. In the case of finger nails some form of remedial treatment is more of a necessity Hard Dovel varnishes. water, cold, and fog all take their toll, and the lower state of health of many women in the winter has Its immediate effect on finger

nails.

Consultations on remedial nail treatment are a feature in one Bond-street parlour where atten- tion is concentrated on hand and nail beauty. Courses of 12 treat- ment, which include manicure, are being taken by clients.

First-aid home preparations which are being packed in the holiday beauty box Include a specially prepared cream for nails that are apt to separate them- selves from the anger owing to weakness after influenza or acidity. It is applied nightly all over the nails, and gloves are in tended to be worn during sleep.

Hurrying up the natural growth of the nail is one of the best ways of removing Imperfections, split nally, or white marked nails, and this is often necessary in con- valescence, when the natural rate of nail growth has been slowed down. A twofold treatment that women can give themselves at home consists in a day grower and a night grower the former

Effect Of Cruising"

Cruising is having a noticeable effect upon dress-fabric patterns. Anchors are dotted with incred- ible levity about the surface of ladies #ho have never done any- thing nearer to heaving one of those implements than is involved in listening to sea-shantles at a concert. Strange suggestions of búnting (in pastel shades, too), floating from .coloured cordage. are to appear, if the available nirfacé is large enough, on swim- sults and beach-dress. A really delicious linen is patterned with small sea-horses in a beguiling shade of red-

Descent Of The Crown- White Hat Vogue-The Forward Trend

Spring hats are taking definite shape and colours, too, are more decided. Line is most important, and proportions are certainly im- proved. The high crown has de- scended; brims clearly make for e forward movement. This is the dewest note in millinery, and one which will clearly distinguish new purchases from last year's models..

In the newer forward line the hair can be well covered, if ɖe-. sired. For the cold winds of the early year, this freak of fashion • is a becoming and practical one, unless it becomes too narrow.

Black leads in favour--some dark browns, the Lenten parma shade and a darker purple have appeared. 'A' spring-green, almost grass-colour, is responsible for some chic little taffeta bonnets with scarves to match. A little red, the pillar-box shade, is seen in most collections,

Navy and white is a favourite with Agnes, who introduces the foulard-taffeta-a compromise be- tween tafeta and the foulard that men's ties are made of-of navy with white, a bird's-eye spot. This silk she uses for her piquant wide bowed looped scarf with the narrow halo-off-the-face toque. She also provides a wider halo, and the matching scarves " are. most interesting.
