'HEN you choose a hat or a new hair style, you con- sider your face first. The hat must be a shape and colour which is both becoming to you and suitable for the outfit it will accompany. Your hair 'must form a pretty frame for your brow and at the same time suit your type.

Hands, with their accessories of gloves, rings, bracelets and nall varnish, come in for less consideration. Poor things, they are often like the step-children in a fairy atory-over- worked and never a thank yout

All too often they are not reckoned in with the beauty scheme at all, so it is little wonder that they protest by spoiling the outlook!

Before going on to how to keep the hands at thelë prettivat, let us sed how many different types we have to deal with. Naturally, hands are as varied ae faces, but we can classify them up

Nothing can alter the actual bone structure of your hand, but just as a full-moon face can be given an oval appearance by a skilful coiffure and the right "surroundings," so can hands be Improved.

The right gloves; a ring in a flatter- ing shape, nails beautifully kept and filed to their party, behaviour, akin mooth and firm-these make charm. Then bracelets must only be worn when they help the appearance and not when they hinder. Cuts should enhance the shape of the wrist. „for, mark you, there's no hiding your

hands under. a cloak of make-up.

Women with large hands (the caps- "ble kind which are nothing to be ashamed off!) are wise if they avoid gloves which contrast sharply witi their costume.

Choose simple gloves in darkish shades and go for beautiful cut and fit-well-made gloves are as kind to your hands na skilfully fitted court shoes are flattering to your feet. Also, they wear better.

year towards short, fitting- to-the-wrist gloves with one or two buttons. These are a safe buy for most people, but as there are few trimmings to distract the eye, they must be well cui and in a good colour.

Choose those in which the skins are pliable and evenly dyed. "Patchy gloves wear badly and look worse!
