Be Kind To Your NaiLS

ANY people do not realise that the matrix of the nail, where new growth forms, is very close to the surface and that it is easily injured.

If you use a steel instrument to push or scrape, you may injuro the anil at its vital spol. Nall Injuries form weak spots that grow out with the nail, breaking off when they get as far as the tip.

Dents And Ridges

"Breakability is often due to in- correct methods of manicuring. Or periape you have noticed dents or ridges

your nails?

If you think back, you may recall that you used an orangewood stick without tipping end with cotton

wool, ponsibly you used a file or nome other hard implement. This will re sult in those dents.

Perhaps no part of the body responds as quickly to kindness as the hands. If you are one of those who always cut

the cuticle, refrain from this practice for a little while, for it is often the direct cause of hangnails. Use a good cuticle remover,

61.1

Useful Lemon Juice

After filing the nails, and before FOR removing fruit stains, try lemon juice. Dampen the mark well with the jutee, and then sponge with hot water. Repeat if necessary. For a very obstinate stain, try pour- ng the hot water through it from a height.

soaking the fingers in warm water, run the emery board, with care, of course, over those hard edges at the corners, then rul in a little cuticlo cream,

You may find the cuticle has grown thick as a result of cutting, but by per- severing with cuticle remover you will soon see an Improvement.

After a short time, the culicle will have resumed its natural inconspicu. ousness and will be a nice smooth frame to the nail,

Once or twice a week is enough for this treatment, although, if the condi tion is aggravated, you may like to do it oftener at first.

Do not be chary of the use of cuticle cream for brittle nail cream). whe

more freely you use one, the moro benent you will receive, for you often have your hands in water which robs them of their natural oil. D. E

Rate

To relieve a headache cut a lemon in slices, and rub the forehead with the slices.

Before scrubbing the kitchen table, rub it over with the skin of a lemon, from which you have used the juice. A similar piece of the peel should be kept near the sink for use on the hands after cleaning greasy pois.

For a rusty grate, cut a lemon In half, rub fill the juice is gone. When black-leaded, the grate will look like

new.

To clean burnt marks from an aluminium pan, drop a slice or two of lemon into water, and bring to the boll. This will not damage the pan. Add a little lemon juice to the water when boiling rice, to whiten and separate the graing.

Lemon Juice makes an excellent substitute for vinegar when making mint sauce.

A teaspoonful, added to the water will prevent bolied meat from being tough,

To get the most juice from a lemon, boll, or at least warm, before using. If needing only a few drops of the Julce, do not

cul, but pierce the lemon with a fork.

In this way, too, she will quickly learn the value and economy of caring for her things, and will have that most coveted of virtuca, clothes sensc.

As the wardrobe idea is the very thing to make this possible, the choice of one and its fittings should be made as carefully as the buying of the clothes that go inside.

A well-made coat-hanger for every garment should be provided (cram- ming two or three garments on to one hanger is false economy) and
