DISGUISING HOMELY HANDS.
We can: not all have beautiful hands,
but a little care and thought will do
much toward improving the appear-
ance of a homely hand or disguising
its worst points. To do this, it is

at bedtime,

juice. A GOOD WORK APRON.
Manicuring the nails is of first im-
portance, and it is well to remember q
that if the fingers are short and blunt,.
a fairly long nail will give a tapering
effect. If the fingers are long and
thin, the nails should be kept rounded
and fairly short. They should always]
look immaculate.
Using the hands gracefully is some-
thing you will have to teach yourself.
You will need to practice before a
mirror and to remember which home-
ly motions must be avoided.
Homely hands can be partially con-
cealed by flowing sleeves; large flaring
cuffs will make big hands look small,
Very few of us can stand the plain
sleeves ending in a straight line
around the wrist. If the bottom of the
sleeve forms a blunt point coming
down over the back of the hand, or
the edge of the sleeve is slightly flared
and rounded, this effect will be found
more becoming to the hand and a
short arm will look longer.
The hands require more care in cold
weather than they clo in warmer wea-
ther, and should be carefully 'washed
and thoroughly dried at all times.
When the rough work of the day is
over, thoroughly cleanse tho hands
with warm water and a good mild
soap (oatmeal es a standard vegetable
oil soap will do). Then make a good
lather with hot water and soap and
cover the hands withit, at the same
time rubbing in well a bit of good
cold cream the size of a grain of corn.
Rinse in the hot water and dry. This
is softening and healing and also re-
moves the grime from the pores.
An excellent lotion for the hands is
made with a half-pint of glycerine,
one-fourth of a pint each of lemon -
juice and rain -water, a teaspoonful
each of spirits of camphor and per-
oxide of hydrogen, shake all together
In a pint bottle. Rub on the hands at
bedtime and wear loose cotton gloves.
Almond meal can be added to this
mixture if desired. Add enough meal
to make the lotion the consistency of
thin cream.
If the finger nails become brittle,
rub them frequently and thoroughly
with vaseline. If the ends of the fin-
gers crack, use the foliowing lotion:
Two ounces of commercial acetic (32
per cent) acid, two ounces of—witch-
hazel and two ounces of glycerine. Mix
thoroughly. At bedtime, wash the
bands well with warm water and a
mild soap, being careful to rinse off all
soap. Dry the hands lightly, then rub
the above mixture well into the cracks
andpores. ores. The cracks and other raw
places will smart for a moment or two,
but the hands will soon heal, and the
skin will become soft and pliable.
For ordinary use, a nice lotion can
be made bycombining one-half cupful
of soft water, one-half cupful of vine-
gar and one-quarter of a cupful of
glycerine.
For hands that are too dry for a
glycerine lotion, use a good cream,
rubbing it well into the hands during

Many times had Trehorn asked him-
self this question, but it was only since
his last meeting with Ruth Bradney
that he had been able to suggest a
possible answer to ,It. It Was Ruth
Bradney, the woman herself, who had
exercised some sort of influence on his
decision. :In some way or other she
had fascinated him and he had lost his
head. Of course he had not fallen in
love with her. How could he have
fallen in love with a woman who al-

lover? But, be was almost ready, to

"Beauty in distress," he said aloud,
and then he laughed. That was the old
story, the old theme of poets and
novelists—as old as the historyof the
human race. It was a combination of
two forces working to destroy a man's
power of reasoning.
It might be a matter ,for ridicule
but -he was just a little afraid.

John Terrington sat before the por-

and gazed at it intently. The picture,
so Ardington had told him—and he
relied on Ardington for the informa-
tion—had been destroyed by Sir Alex-
ander Bradney in a fit of temper and
had been returned to him. It had
been patched up in a very rough ama-

gummed paper—of the sort : used by

VITAL STATISTICS OF
THE DOMINION
According to the returns of the Do•
Minton ,Bureau of Statistics, covering;
the. year 1321, the birth, rate of the
eight provinces of Canada, excluding;
Quebec, was 26.3 per thousand of the
population. Manitoba had the high;
est birthrate of the provinces with
30.3 of population: Tho next highest
was Saskatchewan with 29,7 per cent.
Ontario's rate was 25 3 , and. British
Columbia was the 'lowest with' 20.3
births per, thousand of its population:

statistics, been included, however;

The death rate of Canada in the
same period was 10.6 per 'thousand of
Dominion population, a decrease in
total deaths being registered in every
province and lowering the average.
from 12:3 per' thousand in the pre=
viaus year. ' New Brunswick had ilio
highest death rate In 1921 with.13.9`
per thousand,.whilst British Columbia
with 8 per thousand had the :lowesct.
The' rate in the Prairies Provinces
ranged from 7.4 to 8.4, whilst in On-
tario the death nate was '11.8 per
thousand There is a probability that
the Quebec figures for 1921 would be
lower than the average, of the pre-
vious year of 11.9 and bring it some-
what nearer the 'Dominion rate for
the year.
The Prairie Provinces Outstanding,
It is interesting to note that the
highest birth rates and iowest death
rates. in the Dominion are'registered-
by .the Prairie Provinces, where the
more strenuous phases of agriculture
are,pusued and where the closest ap-
proximation to pioneer conditions still
prevails with huge farming areas and

compare Canadian vital statistics with

tries of the globe The birth rate of
Quebec is, as far as can be discovered,
higher than that of any country in the
world, and probably of any. part of any
country. Taking' the figures over the
past three or four years, few countries'
exceed Canada: in the proportion of
births Canada's 26.3 per cent,` is
slightly higher than that of the United
States, which of lateyearshas ranged
between 23 and 25 per thousand :of

actually register a higher rate in any

ly, the. only other countries which op -
