But, today. I’m on the war path about it! You see, mv maid being ill not long ago,and,having one of those rare days free from my beauty work, l decided to slick up the house myself! At the end of the day 1 was the none too proud possessor of two broken finger nails, more tlwt were scarred and rough, red and very stained hands. It seemed an almost impassible collection of hand beauty calama ties but there were the bands to prove it. And, what makes me maddest about it all...is that the various kinds of gloves I should have worn were handy In the kitchen! I wonder how many of you really appreciate how much gloves do save the hands? How mijny of you spend money on waves and cosmetics and manicures, or the needed preparations for these beauty treatments at home, and then, • through carelessness, go about your dally tasks of clean ing without any thought of pro tecting that beauty which you spend so much time trying to build? I f we don’t protect the physical attractiveness which we spend time und money gaining, it’s a frightful waste of energy and dol lars. Really it is. and in these days of thrift, especially, it is just as wanton as throwing perfectly Rood food into the garbage can when less fortunate folks are hungry. There Isn’t the excuse of not wanting to spend money for gloves to protect the hands for, with the exception of rubber ones, the other gloves needed can be had by using old ones which are too far gone for other purposes. Today rubber gloves can be had at any dime store, ten cents each, and so the cost of these is not prohibitive. One of the reasons why svonlen What One Girl Wore— By BETTY BROWNLEE. ONE of the most interesting features of the first fashion shows is the tendency to re unite sports and town modes which for some timo past have been definitely separated. This is evident in the many stunning models that we had the oppor tunity of observing in the last few weeks. Materials are rough, and hairy, but supple. They arc rich in their color schemes and in their easy-to-wear character and they are ideal for all kinds ^ of use. " There aro exquisite suits for dress wear that may be worn well into the Winter. One model in particular that impressed us was fashioned of a rich green wool, its coat was three-quar ter length and the skirt flared slightly. A large and luxurious collar of gray Persian lamb topped the coat ana there was a match ing fur muff to carry when the winds grow really strong. The coat was (narked at the waistlino with u gray and green leather belt And with this cos tume came a cunning small hat of green felt banded with gray Persian lamb. No one could ask for a smarter costume. The tweed suit consisting of four units is smart, too. It is especially popular with the col lege girl for campus wear. It consists of a three-quarter tweed coat, a matching skirt, a sweater blouse, and a cunning tweed beret. Worn with a simple silk blouse. It is appropriate for wear in town. Today’s sketch shows a novel suit cut on extremely slim lines.

A Pair of Silk Cloves for Ousting Is Another Beauty Accessory for Household 41 Work, as Shown at the Left. don’t favor the “gloves for beauty” idea as much as they should is because gloves can be very clumsy unless the right ones for the particular task are worn. Then, too, the fit of the glove is important for gloves which are too tipht hamper the freedom of the fingers, gloves that- are too large make the handling of break able objects a precarious under taking. Also, it is equally im portant that the weight of the gloya be considered. Through a great deal of ex perimenting with gloves for beauty, 1 have found the follow ing points most helpful. Naturally, we all know that the wearing of rubber gloves for all household tasks which involve having the hands in hot soapy water is the perfect protection for the hands under those cir cumstances. When rubber gloves are worn, the water may be considerably hotter in temperature, more helpful cleansing agents such as ammonia and stronger disinfect ants may be used in the water without injuring the texture of the skin. Therefore, in addition to the protection gained by using rubber gloves, the actual work itself is made easier. Rubber gloves should fit loose ly rather than tightly for perfect activity of the hands. One sire larger than that needed for dress occasions usually works out very nicely in selecting rubber gloves to be worn for household tasks Besides wearing them whet washing dishes, scrubbing and window cleaning, always wear them when scouring pots and pans or when cleaning the stove. You’ll find that the improvement, with less manicuring attention, in the condition of your hands is apparent within a few days.. .to an almost unbelievable degree. Besides eliminating much of the redness and chapping that hands show wherf a good part of their time ig spent in hot water, you'll find that your finger nails become firmer in texture, that the cuticle does not dry out as quickly, that the nails do not re quire nearly as much attention, generally as they do when rubber gloves are not worn. The gloves even protect the coating of liquid polish, making one application of polish last almost twice as long as when the hands are in and out of water constantly without such protection. Most of the finger-end sore ness which is a part of scrubbing and soreness does not appear at all when rubber gloves are worn. For sweeping, whether by broom or vacuum cleaner, a heavier type of glove is needed so that a really protective layer of material is between the palms of the hands and the hard handle of the sweeper. Cotton chamois gloves are excellent for this pur pose and since their main func tion is to protect the palm3 from calloused spots, it doesn’t make any difference if the gloves are so old that every one of your ten fingers peek out the ends! However, when picking dead leaves from your plants and flowers around the house, the fingers in the gloves should be intact so that tho nails do not become stained. We all know how leaves and grasses stain the hands, still it is impossible to keep house plants in good condi tion without a bit of pruning, softening of the c.rth around them and the adding of a bit of plant food to give t’ em the nour ishing they require.

Wilson will answer all questions concerning the house hold. It I* Good Practice to Wash the Hands Thoroughly and Smear Them Generously with Hand Potion EVERY NIGHT Before Going to Bed. And since having potted plants in the house, in itself, is a ges ture toward beauty we should be consistent in our attitude by pre • serving the beauty of the hands which cultivate floral beauty. Dusting (you do dislike it as much as I do?) offers greater difficulties in the glove idea than any other form of housework. Tho hands should be protected from the dust and oils used for polishing. ..still the routine of dusting requires the handling of fragile objects as well as furni ture. This being true, wo must select gloves which will give perfect freedom and security to the hands in action, yet the dust and oil must not penetrate to the skin. Personally. I think that silk gloves are best for dusting. They should fit tight enough to avoid too many tricky wrinkles. but be large enough to permit one to handle objects easily and firmly. Since silk gloves are in clined to shrink a little when washed and so are Inclined to fit snugly rather than loosely, I rummage through silk glove sales and'pick up a pair or two that are one size larger than I usually wear. These, when washed and dried, are just a little looser than my dress gloves, but not large enough to be awkward. The texture of silk gloves, be cause of their tightly knit fabric, offers perfect protection against dust and the small amount of oil used on dusting clothes. Heavy canvas gloves a!wa\s should be worn when working around the furnace, stove or fire place. The things that coal and ashes do to the hands are fright ful. . .if vou don’t, watch out. And last. .. BUT AI -WAYS . . . if you don’t follow a single one of the suggcs nons made above...you must have some kind of beauty glove* ' There are loads of these on 1 the market ready for use.; some come in aets with hand lotions or creams, others may be had sep arately. Or you can make them yourself.... at very little coat and only a few minutes’ time Should you want to make up several pairs of these so that, at small expense, you can have a dean pair at all times, buy a yard of canton flannel, cut out several pairs, sew them up and there you are. A pattern for the gloves can be had by laying your left hand flat on a sheet of paper, fingers close together and thumb at a slight angle from the body of the hand. Run a pencil lightly around the wrist and body of the hand and fingers, then the thumb, so that when the hand is lifted you have a mitten-shaped outline. Cut out the pattern, then, leaving a one inch margin around the pen ciled line. This allows amply for the scam, for shrinkage when the mitts are washed, and for comfort when the gloves arc worii. Let the mitts extend well up on the wrists and don’t sliape the wrist too much or it will be too small for the hand to slip through. If the wrist seems a bit clumsy, sew a snapper on, the halves of the snapper set from one-half to one inch apart so that the mitts can lie adjusted more snugly when worn. Camphor ice is my favorite beauty cream to be used in eon auction w'ith the beauty mitts. It is healing and soothing, refines the texture or the skin and bleaches It-a little, too. If yon don’t like wearing beauty gloves at night, slip them on for half an hour or so during some leisui^ period of the dav.
