NAILS NEED ESPECIAL CARE

Systematic Attention Needed, but the Time Taken Will Be Amply Recompensed. Form the habit of caring for your nails. Select a certain time each day for the treatment and let nothing intrude to prevent you from carrying out your duty. A slipshod manner of treating the nails will do no good. 'File the nails .into the shape you like best and then soak the finger tips in warm soapsuds to which a little benzoin has been added. While the nails are wet rub some vaseline around the roots. Take the orangewood stick and gently push the flesh hack all around the nails. Each one in turn, not only about the half-moons, but the entire length of the nails. For cleansing under the nails, an old handkerchief dipped in a hit of lemon inice and passed under the nails by means of the orange stick is all that is required. Apply a nail polish and brush with a buffer. If one is in perfect health, rubbing the nails in the palms of the hands' will give a sufficient polish to them.
