^VATCH Gene Tierney turn a doorknob. Study Ann Sheridan holding a cigarette or Marlene Dietrich spooning her consomme . . . and keep your eye on Lana Turner as her lively gestures punctuate the dialogue. Nice hand work, you'll admit, and probably heave a sigh for your own slightly battered mitts!
Hollywood hands are just as busy as yours. When they're not active at the studio, they're sewing, knitting, rolling emergency bandages or digging Victory gardens. Film fingers are found in every defense pie, but it's part of an actress' job to be fit to the fingertips, and Her hands are always well groomed, smooth-skinned and shiny tipped.
Regular care does the trick in Hollywood or Hoboken. A thorough, bang-up manicure is a weekly must. In addition, cuticle should be creamed or oiled every night, especially in chilly weather. A rich lotion or cream must be smoothed on your paws at bedtime, massaged with the motions you use to pull on tight gloves, working from fingers to wrist. At the same time, rub a bit of the cream or lotion on your elbows, to help keep those neglected patches soft and sleek.

When it chips, remove it completely or artfully patch it. If you dent a nail tip, stick Scotch tape or tissue paper over it and cover with polish. If a nail breaks badly, keep the secret to yourself because friends aren't interested in hearing you moan. Buy a replacement at the local variety store and fixed up your nail good as new.
Do your hands tell that the temperature is dropping, by a mottled red effect? Select gloves large enough (tight ones are poor vanity; they cut off circulation and make hands colder). Apply hand lotion after every washing, before every stepping-out. Stand a giant bottle over your kitchen sink, another in the bathroom cabinet. Carry a miniature size in your purse . . . and keep one at office or factory if you're a working gal. Quantity produces quality here. The more hand lotion you use, the prettier and whiter your hands will be. Don't let yourself forget it.
While you're saving tin, rubber, newspapers and so forth, give some thought to conserving (Continued on page 96)
