A nightly cold creaming of their luce may be all very well, but they simply cannot find time to look after their hands properly.

Well, any beauty routine is largely a matter of habit, and surely few inbits can give you more satisfying results!

So why no begin the habit of taking a little more care of your hands.

Ten Minutes Or Less

WHAT you are going to do dependa of course upon the time you upon reilty can spend every day your hands. Five minutes will do quite a lot of good, len will work wonders, while even ten seconds will be better than nothing if you spend it alcking a drop of almond oil over your angers and into the nails just before you go to bed.

However, your hands are worth more consideration then this, and I suggest that you buy a concentrated, emollient hand cream and keep near your wash basin. Every time you wash rub a scrap of it over your Angers to keep them soft and white and smooth. At night massage the cream well into the hands after you have Anished.

Of course, there are hand-packs and whitening lotions but they are for special occasions and we are now discussing "routine."

Your nails also need daily atten tion whether you use polish or not.

If your nails are brittle then be sure to use a strengthening prepara- tion which will encourage them to grow strong and hard. There several to be had which will work wonders in a fortnight or so..

Are You Unfair To Your Child ?

When a child is peevish, cross and irritable and a source of annoyance, parents are tempted to resort to chastisement as a means of correction. But often such punishment is unfair, because the real cause of the trouble iles in some derangement of the little one's digestive organs. So, if your child is like this, 'spare the rod and try what a little dose of Baby's Own Tablets will do instead.

These Tablets have a mild laxative action and gently cleanse the stomach and bowels, they alluy feverishness, thus relieving nervous tension, and quickly the child regains normal health and spirits.
