Lucille and I are not going to give you a list of "l><)'s" here, but rather a list of ■■l>o,!-lsr Don't fail to soften the cuticle thoroughly before pushing it back from the nail with your orange-wood stick. Failure to do this will cause you to bruise the delicate matrix of the nail. It is bruising the m'atrix that causes the little white spots to appear on the nail. Such spots cannot be removed, but may be hidden by a dark polish until tlicy ha\e grown out. The cuticle may be softencil soalKing the fingertips in ^oap.^■ water or, better still, warm oil. lion't scrape underneath the nails with a metal instrument. Instead, avoid bruising or spoiling the nail shape by using an orange-wood stick covered with cotton. Don't cut the cuticle. Use a cuticle remover. (This "don't" has probably been dinned into your ears many, many times, but it is too important to ignore.) Don't file the nails too closely on the sides. The nails protect the cuticle there. Don't file your nails to sharp, daggerlike points. The oval is more fashionable, as well as more flattering and practical. Don't wear extremely long nails unless your hands are idle most of the time. The nail length best suited to active hands is just beyond the fingertip. Very long nails don't wear well when the hands are constantly in use, so keep the nails a conservative length. /)();;'/ cover the "moons" at the base of the nail. They lend grace and shapeliness to the nail. If you do not have "moons," then leave a space free from polish where they should be. This rule should be observed in all cases, but especially when a dark polish is used. Don't jiggle the finger when applying the polish. Rest the hand flat on the dressing-table or hold it firmly in front of you. Don't apply polish to the nails before they are absolutely free of old polish, soap or oil. Just before you put on your polish apply a bit of polish remover to the nail. This will take ofl: any of the substances that would shorten the life of your polish and cause it to peel. Don't, at any time, fail to change your polish as often as necessary, or give your fingertips their thorough, weekly manicure. Don't overlook the importance of a daily (or nightly) application of cuticle cream, or softener of some kind. Don't let your enthusiasm for jewelry cause you to "load" your fingers with rings. Don't wear large and unusual rings and bracelets if your fingers and hands are not nicely shaped, for the jewelry will call too much attention to these details. The polish shades this spring are so new and so difl'erent that, unless you use the "natural" shade, you can no longer pick a color at random and find it suitable. You must use your sense of color discrimination. Study your hands to see which colors are most becoining ; clear reds, corals, or the dusty grape shades. Then try these colors against your spring frocks, so the most harmonious shade may be applied. Every woman should have a variety of shades in her "polish wardrobe." Lucille's most effective method of exercising her hands to keep them always supple and limber is one which a great many girls use regularly — typing! Lucille types all her own personal correspondence and finds that the dexterity demanded by this simple procedure has given her fingers a strength, poise and character which could not be gained from even the finest of creams and lotions. So, all of you girls, get out the typewriter or your old fivefinger piano exercises. If you have neither of these instruments available, then, with the fingertips resting on a flat table-top, exercise on an imaginary piano or typewriter. When all of the beauty aids placed at your fingertips have been applied to your fingertips, theii you, too, can boast beautiful hands. Hands as lovely as those Lucille Manners uses so gracefully and efTectively in accompanying the expressiveness of her lovely singing voice, her everyday conversation, and which add so immeasurably to her personal charm and attractiveness, because they are used naturally and cared for exquisitely. 9.
