BEAUTIFUL HANDS CAN BE
YOURS
Hand care and nail grooming are
part of the modern woman's beauti-
fying. And I will say at once that no
woman, who will devote even a little
time to them, need have rough, red-
dened hands.
The first rule for keeping hands
smooth and trial 14 the same basic
rule of all beautifying—cleanse thor-
oughly. Keep your hands out of hot
water; lukewarm water is best, If
the water is very hard, soften it with
a dash of borax.
Wash your hands always with gen-
tle Palmolive soap, for it is made
from olive oil and is itself a beautify-
ing treatment. Be liberal with protec-
tive hand lotion, You call snake your
own with equal parts of spirit of
c=mime and glycerine.
Its a splendid idea, too, to mas-
sage hand lotion into the wrists and
up the arms to the elbows. It softens
the arms and keeps the elbows front
roughening.
The use of half a Iemon -helps to
whiten the hands, and will usually

Now for your nails. Don't cut them;
rile then, preferably with au emery
board, Avoid pointing thein too much,
as this weakens the sides. and causes
brittleness. u
Slightly heated olive oil Ie the epe-
ciHc for most nail troubles. Soak the
fingertips in it for 10 to 15 minutes
to help prevent brittleness and pro-
mote growth of the nails. After these
treatments, train back the cuticle so
that the half-moons will show.

There is such a elting'a's transparent

despositing a coating of 'gold so thin
that a sheet of the finest' tissue' paper
would appear as 'coarse as a pulpwood

ary print could 'be clearly .read
through six successive 'layers of this
metal, provided' that they were

not only to gold but 00 others prec-
;nee metals :such as Itla'tinum, pal-
ladium and rh'od'iunt. The thickness
of these films is a .matter of a few
millionths of an inch, but so well can
the job be done that they will give a
