KEEPING HANDS IN CONDITION

During Frosty Weather They Need Much Care and Will Repay Attention Given. It is very difficult to keep the hands soft in frosty weather, especially if one is one’s own housemaid. An Inexpensive wash if one has some leftover milk on hand is to soak them In warm milk. A bottle of glycej-in and rose water kept on the bathroom shelf and applied when the hands are wet after washing, will help also. Vaseline may promote a growth of hair on the hands, but there is nothing better for loosening dirt under the nails than a little vaseline pushed under the nail at night before retiring; it not only removes the soil,

but lubricates the nail ttself and prevents it from becoming brittle. Bedmaking is hard oh nails and it Is advisable to wear an old pair of washable gloves when tucking in the sheets.
