This Girl Will Have LOVELY HANDS

Follow these three exercises, and like the Chinese, you'll have beau- tiful hands.

These exercises are good for the circulation-no more cold hands for you and no more chilblains!

An important point is, the exer- cise must be done rhythmically.. You'll be very clever if you can do them all correctly the first time!

1. Take two walnuts in each hand and make them chase each other clockwise round your palm. Then do it anti- clockwire.
