The Burton PTA will hold a
meeting' in the school auditorium
Sunday, March 16 at 2:30. The
prCgram haa not yet been an
nounced. The public at largfe is
cordially invited to attend.
Although it is frequently said
that the eyes are “the windows of
the soul,” I sometimes believe that
the hands mirror a person’s charac
ter almost as well. In a sense, the
liands move in a wider orbit than
the eyes, and their free and spon
taneous actions perhaps claim other
people’s attention more than we
realize.
We all notice hands on occasion.
Sometimes our attention is forced
on them. Restless hands, fidgety
tiand3, or quiet hands; well-groomed,
ill-groomed; the warm hand clasp,
the clammy handshake—we have
tJiem all. There ar6 Certain occa
sions when you especially notice
ether people’s hands and your own,
as for example, when you are play
ing cards. You have an opportu
nity to study the liands of those
around you and to compare them
with your own hands. You study
their size, length, naiib, skin texture,
movements, etc.
When you do make such observa
tions, liow do your liands compare
with those of other women?
Perliaps you wish the fingers were
a little longer and not quite so thin,
and stubby—or that your nails were
more almond-shaped. Very few peo
ple have perfect hands, but any
woman can make her hands attrac
tive if she,will watch two things:
(1) the use of her hands, and (2) the
care she gives them.
The first consideration has to do
with the gracefulness of your hands.
That doesn’t mean yon should take
a course in dramatics. But here’s
a tip which comes from the dra
matic school; Never gesture for
the sake of gesturing, or feel that
it is necessary to do this in order
to be exp.'esslve. A movement of
the hand shc'old be as natural as a
sincere smile, and as spontaneous.
It should be expressive of a thought
or feeling within you. The thought
or feeling should come first and the
gesticulation spring fi^om it, without-
any effort on your part. Such move
ments will then have a certain
natural grace. If you have a tend
ency to throw your ‘hands around
like a Dutch windmill, or to effect
certain mannerisms, try to curb
these habits. Keep your hands In
quiet repose when yon are not using
them. Avoid nervous fidgeting or
playing with jewelry, or parts ol
your dress or coat. Of course, J
need not caution you against bltinf
your nails or fingers.
The second important consldera
tion is the grooming of your hands—
the nails and skin. During thesf
more or less wintry days when yov
ore inside heated rooms, it is vor>
easy for the hands to become rougl
and chapped. Sometimes this is
caused by not thoroughly dryinf
them after they have been in water
At the best, however, you will prob
ably find that a good hand lotion is
necessary to keep the skin soft anC
pliable. Your nails should also b«
faultlessly manicured—special oar*
given to the cuticle and shaping ot
the nails. Then, too add the finish
ing touch, a well-chosen shade o:
polish should be applied.
Your hands, the same as you
hair, deserve special beauty atten
tion.
What are'your beauty problems?
