Hand in Glove

M

ITTENS. both short and elbow length, are worn with the pleture type of evening frock. They are demure and youth- ful looking.

Many net and fare gloves are so elaborately trimmed with crystals and diamanté that they are sufficient ornn- mentation to the arms without the addition of bracelets.

For day wear. the newest idea is to have gloves matching handbag and belt. Paris has made quite a feature of these.

A set in soft leather has small cari- ridge roll trimming, another in black antelope is Anished with four shaped pieces of finely plented suède in a cuk trast colour, and a matching open- worked punched deste is used in s third set.

HONEY is one of the oldest of

beauty treatments, and that's what your skin needs. Of course, you won't want to use it straight from the hive. I suggest a cream which con- tains both honey and albionds-an- other well-tried beautifer. IL Will give your skin protection.

By the way, the firm which makes this preparation has a charming beauty gift case which contains thin cream and two others, besides in box of face powder. The price is 25, com plete in a nice box.

Split Nails

My job keeps me at the typewriter, and my nails are in a wretched cont- dition as a result. They are discoloured and they split badly.

PEOPLE who type a lot should keep

their nails rather short. Shape them leely, but don't let them grow beyond the finger-tips, or they'll soon break. Your naiis need nourish. ing.

Chapped Hands

Every winter I provide my two schoolgirl daughtera ioith toarm gloves, and they never seem to wear them, in spite of all my protests. The result is that their hands get so chopped that they crack.-

WELL you know wit schoolgi

arol Try to'make them dry their hands properly after washing, nnd get a special Jelly for them to use.

If they won't be persuaded to use it after cach washi, seo they put it on at night and their hands will keep smooth. Explain that cracked hands nre dangerous, a dirt and germs can get in, and they'll soon respond.

The Jelly I have in mind needs no rubbing in the skin absorbs it at once and it is not atloky.

Dry Stalp

I notice, when I brush my hair, that a great deal of it falls out. My hair isn't very thick, and I can't afford to hare it fallin

DRY SCALP is the cause of your

trouble. It is responsible for dandruД and the fact that your hair "goes all ways" and is brittle and life- less in appearance.

There is an excellent and inexpen alve tonic, which I recommend you to use to cure your dry scalp. Rub a few drops well into the scalp each morn- ing until it tingles; then brush and comb your hair.

Not a long job, but this tonie dress- ing will stimulate the dow of natural oita, and you will find that your hair will keep in place better, 100.
