pure lard is an excellent cosmetic; the
skin absorbs it more readily even than
cold cream, since there is no wax in
it, and it is very softening. Of course,
all stains should be bleached off the
hands with lemon, rhubarb or tomato
juice.
Manicuring the nails is of first im-
portance, and it is well to remember
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

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

more becoming to the `hand and a
short arm will look longer.
The hands require more care in cold
weather than they do 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 the hands
with warm water and a good mild
soap (oatmeal or a standard vegetable
oil soap will do). Then make a good
lather with hot water and soap and
cover the hands with it, 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-
exide 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 -
gas crack, use the following 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
hands well with warn water and a
mild soap, being careful to rinse off all
soap. Dry the hands lightly, then tub
the above mixture well into the cracks
and pores. The cracks and other raw
places will smart for a moment or two,
but the hands will soon heal, and the
akin will become soft and pliable.
For ordinary use, a nice lotion can
be made by combining 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 'create,
rubbing it well into the hands during

I Frank Trehorn, would be ruined --lust'
for a promise he had given to a stran-
ger ---a woman who had moved him to
pity.
'`Well, of course," be said to him-
self, "I could not have been expected
to foresee everything." But that did°
not seem to account entirely forhis
folly. He had lost his head—been
carried off his. feet. He had behaved
in a way that was entirely foreign to
his nat.u'e. Having once started on
th'oroad he could not very well have•
gone back. But why had he ever
started?
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 hip
head. Of .course he had not fallen in
love with her. How could he have
fallen in love with a woman who -al-
ready had not only a husband but a
lover? But he was almost ready to
admit that it was not only her distress
but her beauty that had caused him
to make a fool of himself. He might
not have done the same for another
woman.
"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 history of 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.

CHAPTER XXIII.
John Merrington sat before the por-
trait he had painted of Lady Bradney
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-1
teurish fashion by sticking strips of
gummed paper—of the sort used by
shopkeepers for fastening up parcels
—on the back of the canvas. Sir Alex-
ander, so Ardington had said, had ex-
pressed a wish that he, John Merring-
ton, would not look at this picture be-
fore starting to paint another

TO DRY SWEATERS,
Do not hang a washed sweater on
the line to dry. It will be sure to
stretch or lose its shape. If you have
two clotheslines running parallel near
each other, pin a towel from ono to
the other and spread out the wet
sweater on this hammock. It will then
retain its original shape and look like
new, since the yarn has a chance to
spring' back to rte original position.
If you have only ono line, pin the
top and bottom of a large towel to-
gether firmly on the line and let the
sweater dry In the basket thrill formed.
It will require a little more time than
the first method, since the garment
