ultivating the Beauty That Lurks in Finger Tips
l‘ some of the fashionable
French resorts the manicur-
lets set up their little tables
under the awnings of the beauty
shops or under the shade trees of
the boulevards and here smart
French women sit and have their
nails manicured in public, nodding
m and chatting with their friends
as they pass by. American women
at. these resorts sometimes visit
those open-air manlcurists but they
“mild probably hesitate a long time
before they would permit them-
aolvcs to be manicured in public in
their own native land.
Among women who can afford it
the custom is growing of having
one's mnnicuring done at. home
rather than in the manicure shops,
and there are numerous skillful
manicurists who do all their work
lll the homes of their employers.
boasting of a clienteile that would
be coveted as a calling list by any
mcial climber. Still the great ma-
Jority of manicure girls still work
in shops or "parlors" and the ma-
jority of women. if they have their
nails professionally manicured at
all. visit these shops. To avoid the
possibility of delay you telephone
to make an appointment in advance.
Still, waiting is no hardship if you
have time to spare.
in one of the most fashionable of
the so-called beauty shops the wait-
ing and reception room is furnished
with luxurious upholstered chairs
and davenporte. There are little
low three-cornered stands provided
with cigarettes and ash trays. with
magazines galore with which to
while away the time. In a. wide
creon gloss vnse on the floor there
are enormous yellow Chrysanthe-
mums or American beauty roses. At
tlm long windows hang curtains of
chino-so laquer red bound with Judo
green fringed braid and on the win-
dow ledgcs are pieces of rare col-
ored glass to catch the sunlight
trickling through.

lounging in some exclusive woman‘s

of little jars and bottles of red.
green, violet and yellow liquids and
paste that you see under the soft
light. of the rose shaded lamps on
the long table—jars and bottles of
hand lotions, skin frcshcncrs, lip
mlw-q. massage creams.

shetells you and ends by applying
a rose colored varnish that. keeps
more than a week. It is so much
easier than having to use the but-
fer yourself.
This skillful manicurlst never
uses the scissors unless there is a
hangnail to contend with. She uses
sterilized absorbent cotton on an
orange wood stick dipped in one of
her many little bottles to rub away
superfluous cuticle. Usually at this
establishment there is a hand treat-
ment to go with the manicure. The
skin of the hand and arm as well
needs bleaching and softening. And
if you can afford it all. you are in no
hurry to leave the comfortable mor-
ris chair and the neat little bobbed

It is usual to inviic your fricnds:
to the bridge luncheon at one or
half past and a long or elaborate

cause the object is to leave time
enough for bridge afterward. There
should be no vcl‘y clnbornm donor—

the guests lingering over the table
after luncheon has been eaten. If
you wish to invite a fairly large
number—more than you can con-
veniently scat at your dining room
inhlc—thcn serve your luncheon in
buffet fashion. Howm‘cr it is a,
simple matter to havo every one

without seating them at the table.
They bring their chairs around the
table and with the use of occasiom
al small tables and stands every
one has a place for cup and saucer.
plate and glass.
A bridge luncheon recently given
was appropriately simple. though
it was served by a. woman who
could very easily have afforded as
elaborate a menu as she might have
chosen. The plates were passed
each containing a chicken patty,
creamed potatoes with parsley and
a few fresh peas. Canned peas
would have been almost as good.
With this was passed celery stalks
and whole wheat bread and butter‘
sandwiches. Coffee or chocolate
were passed—~belng poured at the
heads of the table by two guests...
and then ice cream and small cakes
and cookies, with bonbons passed
from the table. .
There are comparatively few
women who have servants enough
or sufficiently expert so that they
can depend upon them for the
serving of a number of after-
noon guests—and one seldom gets
outside help for this sort of thing.
Because it is such a usual thing
for the hostess to help with the
serving herself or to permit her
daughters or even her guests to do
this.
It is much easier to play your
role of hostess if you are relieved
from work in the kitchen during
your party. So plan your refresh—

And they must not be cut on O
Friday even. when that day talk

However, there are some notions
concerning finger nails. hilt In an-
scientific, that are believed by many
at the present time. For instance
you may have been told yourself
that the nails of a baby should not
be cut—not for a year according; to
same. In the mean time if they
need to be trimmed they must be
bitten by the mother or nurse. I
have even heard a young graduate
nurse warn a patient not to cut
the baby's nails with the scissors.
though she was quite unable to give
any sort of scientific reason for
the warning. She did not know
that she was handing on a wond-
old superstition.
The ancient rabbis declared that
he who burns his finger nails is a
pious man, he who buries them is a
righteous one. and he who turns
tem away is a wicked one. There
is undoubiedly some sanitary basis
for this injunction.
The ol‘d .le‘WlSh rule was that the

A tired young mother was mak-
iing arrangements to have a chil-
idrcn's trained nurse come for a
’month to trike care of her three
children while she had a chance to
shed responsibilities for a time.
V "There is one thing I want you
to do lesides looking after the chi!-
gdren." said this woman. “I want
you to promise me that you'll string
.ihe ribbons into my underwear. It
‘ is a great triall"
The nurse. who really: didn’t like
im take any cases save where the
children were ill, refused to take
the job at all when she heard this.
511'} wouldn‘t have minded in the
least stringing r;bbons into under
things, but it didn’t seem quite a
I'lroi'cssimial proceedure. New for
some reason or other this little task
was the black beast of the worn-
an who wanted to shift it to some
one else’s shoulders. She didn't
complain about the mending, she
could do any amount of outside
work for charities. her household
accounts always balanced and she
never complained about the task of
planning meals. but sip could not
abide stringing up her lingerie.
“'ith some --women the greatest
difficulty comes with the household
accounts." If they do not attempt
to keep.accounte then the trouble
lies in. keeping track of bills. My-
ing them and ’keeping receipts for
future reference. ‘.
Probably you would find if you
analysed the matter psychologically
that the aversion in each case is
not. due to any innate difficulty of
the task itself. The fact seems
to be that the modern housewife
really has more things and more
sorts of things to do than can be
done comfortably. Her objection to
some one task is merely evidence
of this.
