respite from hand care, realis- ing with much self-satisfaction how slim and brown they've been look- ing against summer frocks.

But increased bridge-party invita tions are a reminder that winter is just ahead, and that it's time to make good resolutions for hand beauty.

Hands matter so much more in winter than in summer.

Winter Problems

At bridge parties, dances, cocktail partic, a woman's hands are noticeable as they never are when wielding a racket how or golf club. Yet, perversely, much more difficult they are to keep, in trim during these call months to come.
