It is worth while, the_•efore, to give your hands -the protection and care they need. ••The market is flooded with all kinds of working' gloves, 'even hand -mit .dusters. Almost any cos- metics counter sells night gloves, for which an old pair of white cot- ton gloves will serve a satisfactory substitute, Before putting ow - night gloves apply hand cream, working it well into the cuticle, Skirt, each cuticle and the nail corners with an orange- wood stick using cuticle oil or cream. If you do your gardening and painting bare-handed, dig your nails into a soft cake of mild soap first to prevent staining, or oil them well with heavy lanolin If your nails show abuse from gen- eral neglect, a few professional manicures will be a help. If your nails have been stunted from biting, they can be coaxed back into shape slowly by an al- most daily filing to strengthen them. Keep them short and smooth for a long time and very gradually let them grow longer. The cuticle will need to be pushed back daily. Do this with a towel every time you wash your hands. Beautiful hands aid in giving you poise and assurance. One can- not begin too soon to care for hands and nails. Even a little girl five to six years of age is proud to have her very own manicure kit. A few simple tools are needed, Assemble them in a little box or • Nice Sideline --This reciining,'comfortable arm -chair is the feature of a new sidecar for motorcycles and scooters. it can be removed from the sidecar in a few seconds and used cis a beach or lawn cdtoir.

Here is a suggest- ed list: List of Proper Tools Small' jar of cuticle Crean and n'ppers or small curved scissors: emery boards or steel file; orange- wood sticks; a pusher—there are several types of pushers: a steel -one, a nzanictire brush with a tiny brush on one end and a plastic pusher on the other end, a soft pusher which dispenses. liquid cu- ticle remover like a fountain pen; nail h iffer and mancure brush; nail polish — liquid, powder, or cream. Now for the home manicure. You will need besides the assem- bled kit a bowl of soapy water and soft towel. Begin by filing) and shaping your nails. Let the shape and length of your nails be in har- mony with the contour and size of your hands, Lona tapering fingers can take a long and more pointed nail' than) shorter) fingers, which look better than a gentle oval, You are the one to study your hands and decide your own style. Yur own good taste should de- termine this for you. If you like gay, bright polishes, have the col- ors blend with' yourl lipst'-tt� • or match exactly the red hue o�your gown and accessories. You may cut the nails with toe- nail nippers or, heavy shears be- fore filing (cuticle scissors are deli- cate and should be used only to cut cuticle). Cream or Oil Helps When well -shaped, finish with light, smoothing -off strokes with the emery board at a perpendicu- lar or 45 -degree angle. Nbw soak the fingers in warm soapy water to soften the cuticle. Cream or oil may be added for this purpose. Gently loosen the cuticle with orangewood stick or pusher. The cuticle must never be allowed to grow up on the nail. The cuticle must roll back naturally, free from h•&' nail. After soaking, stains Yiay be bleached with peroxide, liquid soap, nail white (pencil or paste). There are many cuticle remov- ers on the market but these are not always necessary to the mani- cure. Many expert manicurists avoid the use of cuticle removers preferring to loosen cuticle with, a pusher or orangewood stick and train the cuticle and corners with- out cutting. If your cuticle is brolten, ragged, or you have tiny hangnails, however, you will have to trim them. Once your nails are in aider, the three-minute daily care is all they will need. If your cuticle should be ex•• eeptionally ragged and dry, soak it in hot olive or any other good oil, uoth at the beginning and, end of the manicure. Buffers Raise Shine Now for the polish, Buffers with cream or powder -type polish are still' used to shine modest finger- nails. Many prefer high buff polish before the liquid is applied. Dazzling hands often have a miniature wardrobe of many col- ors of liquid polish harmonizing with costumes and accessories. The application , of the liquid is much the sante as any other kind of -brush painting, Work with very little polish on the brush, Care- fully draw a line for a moon, or skirt your own moon with a light, deft stroke. Carry one stroke up the centre of the nail. then cover each side, being careful not to go hack over the painted area. "1..'o give; a more slender appear- ance to broad nails, leave a slight margin at each side of the nail when applying colored polish. Some prefer to show no moons. They carry polish to the tip of each nail. This gives a lengthening effect. It is advisable, however, to wiper off the very tips with facial tissue. .All this plus. your own good Mate determines 111e finished effect and gives you The comfortable as- suranee of having well-groomed stands. Tragic Piece of History Lies ehind Weil -known Nursery Ditty Few mothers can resist teaching their child to recite nursery rhymes. Yet how many know that these nursery jingles are not all mythical, but are usually about real people? Take "Mary had a little lamb." Nine-year-old Mary Sawyer never dreamed, as on a bitterly cold win- ter's night she sat up till daybreak, warming and feeding a dying lamb back to life, that her thoughtful act would be recounted ill a jingle by children the world over. It was on°"'her father's farm, in the year 1815, that Mary performed her act of mercy, and as the lamb grew up its affection for Mary grew, too, and it followed her wherever she went, One day Mary took it to school with her and hid it behind a big desk, The teacher never even sus- pected its presence—not until she called Mary to the front of the class to recite a poem, and the little girl's wooly friend calmly trailed up behind her. But Mary's fame was in the slak- ing, for a young man named John Roulstone heard of the incident and promptly sat clown and wrote a rhyme about it. That is how "Mary had a little lamb" came to be• writ- ten. Mary later became Mrs. Mary Taylor, and lived td well over ninety years of age. She died to- wards the end of the last century. Mother Goose was also a real person and lived to be nearly a hundred years old. She lived in Boston, U.S.A., and was the wife of Edward Goose. She mothered ten children, hence the name — "Mother Goose." Her nursery rhymes, written to amuse her grand- children, were first published in 1716, Real Jack Korner' Another "Mother" of equal re- nown is Mother Hubbard, who was housekeeper to an old West Coun- try family named Bastard, ' When Sarah Martin visited the family one day in 1804, the house- keeper had gone out. It later trans- pired that she had been to find a bone for her dog, and this incident inspired Miss Martin to write "Old Mother Hubbard." But not all nursery rhymes have their roots in such homely incidents. Some have a political origin, as in the case of "Littlesiatck Horner." He was a real person, and was steward of the Abbey of Glaston- bury in the time of Henry VIII. "Have you any wool?" The rhyme is an allusion to the disolving of the'4:Masteries by the Ding. The smaller monasteries were dissolved first -and the richer abbeys next. As Glastonbury was one of the richest in the kingdom, an attempt was made to bribe the King to leave it alone and Jack Idorner was sent with a Christmas Pie as a gift to Henry. Horner's curiosity, however, led him to discover the bribe that was hidden in the pie— the title deeds of several manors of the Abbey estates. SALLYS SALLIES Mwr 0.t '"lust wriggle your fingers, dear, $p I'll know If you're still alive," He abstracted a "plata" for him- self—the title deeds of the Manor of Melts. Thus it was that the Manor of Mells passed into the ]lands of the Horner family. When you hear .children reciting "Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool?" do you connect it with the export tax on wool imposed by Edward I in 1275? This jingle is said to refer to this prohibitive tax, which proved very unpopular, • Another version says that the jingle is a propaganda rhyme for the English wool trade of the fif- teenth century, between England and Flanders. At this Period nearly half - of England., was engaged in the flourishing business of sheep- - farming. Up the "Beanstalk" The jingle—"Taffy was a Welsh- man, Taffy was a thief," is an allu- sion to the old-time pillaging raids into each other's countries by the Welsh and the English along the border counties. Obviously, Taffy was not the only thief 1 Of grim origin, however, is the rhyme "Ring -a -ring -e -roses," often sung with such happy gusto by children in their games. It com- memorates the fourteenth -century plague known as the Black Death. The phrase—"Tishool Tishoo! we all fall down," is a grim reminder of the fact that over one-third of the population died of the plague. "Jack and Jill," and "Jack and the Beanstalk" are myths of ancient Norse origin. The myth of Jack and the Beanstalk, however, is known to have been recounted in many savage lands. Particularly in Polynesia, where the native mind conceives the tall trees of the forest as reaching to . the sky, and Jack as being able to climb up one of these "beanstalks" into the heavenly country.
