WHAT do your hands reveal about yourself? Maybe you hadn.'t even thought about it, being so busy making the most of your face and stirring up your glamour. But believe me, my dears, your hands are just about the most telltale feature you own. And before I really get going on the subject I want to tell you about an experience I had some years ago that I am glad to pass along to you.
I had gone to the famous dance studio of Ned Wayburn with a young girl who was entering his business girls' class at night. The name of Ned Wayburn should be and probably is as familiar to you as the famous "Ziegfeld Follies." I don't mean the movie "Follies." 1 am speaking of the stage version, when that connoisseur 0f beauty, Florenz Ziegfeld, was alive and very busy glorifying American girls.
Well, twenty-five girls stood in a circle wearing various types of rehearsal clothes — shorts, bathing suits, rompers. I say "girls," but some were women of thirty, interested in limbering up and acquiring grace.
In the center of this circle a large man with stern expression and keen eyes was stressing the importance of her hands to a dancer — how they convey moods, but especially how they aid or detract from grace. That man was Wayburn.
His keen eyes went round the circle. Noting the number of women among the fresh young business girls, he said:
**A woman's hands, more than her face, tell her age. I want all of you to hold out your hands. I will pass around the circle and tell each one of you how old you are."

But more deplorable is that so many young girls have prematurely old hands. Why? Sheer neglect Unnecessary! And such a blow to your glamour, my darlings! Almost as bad, I do believe, as decaying teeth in a lovely mouth.
So let's not neglect them any more. Let's vision our hands as slim, graceful flowerlike things over which, in olden days, gallant gentlemen would have bent and kissed. It's an old Continental custom and they still do it in the movies. Which reminds me
Have you seen that new rage of the screen — Hedy Lamarr? She was the original "Ecstasy" girl, though the foreign picture of that name was banned in this country because Hedy was too beautiful and wore too few clothes. Well, Hedy's first picture for Hollywood, "Algiers," started people raving about her as no actress has been raved about since Garbo. There is a picture of this Lamarr gal who goes to men's heads like heady wine (no pun
LOVELY FLOWERLIKE HANDS ARE THE AMBITION OF EVERY GIRL. MEN NOTICE AND ADMIRE THEM. •UT ARE YOUR HANDS "LOVELY TO LOOK AT"? SWEET TO KISS?
