A BEAUTY NECESSITY
—
Brittle Finger Nails a Serious Problem for Many
Women Says Expert Suggesting Daily Massage
and Careful Manicuring as a Solution.
By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON
I’VE mentioned frequently in this column that emery' boards are an
important part of every manicuring set. But I don’t believe
that l’*e ever told you how important they arc in carinj* for ex-
tremely thin fine nails. ... ... -
IT tne nails are of medium cr heavy texture
an ordinary flexible steel file should be used for
shaping and its use should be followed by a light
smoothing over with an emery board. When the
nails are very thin however the heavier type
of file is too coarse unless it is manipulated with
a light and deft touch. A professional mani-
curist has no difficulty in using the regular file
but for the average person with fine nails split-
ting uneven edges and bruising is apt to result
unless one is particularly careful. By using the
emery board however the nov.ee can gain satis-
factory results.
Never file the nails just after washing the
hands because the soap and warm water soften
them making the nails much harder to shape.
Select rather a time when the hands have been
out of water for several hours. Use the fine
side of the emery board just as you would an

ordinary steel file. You will find that less creasing on ana spn.wng
occurs after following this suggestion for several weeks.
Another splendid way to avoid breaking of! nails of thin tex-
ture is to file them every day. By doing this they don’t grow out
so long and so do not knock aga.nstT
things and become bruised or broken. |
Then. too. the fine nail can be'
protected by filing It a bit shorter I
than is customary for medium orj
heavy texture nails. It is well-known i
that stronger nails remain free
from bruises under knocks that ab-i
solute’.y shatter more delicate nails. |
A bit of olive oil massaged Into
the nails and around the cuticle|
each night will after a short period j
of time strengthen and toughen
them without making them actually |
Heavier or coarser in texture.
If the nails are ridged and brittle
as well as thin add six drops of
castor oil to one half ounce of cocoa
butter. Melt the cocoa butter ad 1
tho castor oil. mix thoroughly and
then let cool. Just massage this into
the cuticle around the hase of thej
nails each night letting It remain on
until morning.
Nalls like hair thrive on excess
circulation sc that massage is as
vital to the health and beauty of the
nails as It la to the ba:r.
To massage the nails apply a
liberal amount of cuticle salve or the
preparation made from the formula
suggested above to the nails aru?
cuticle. Then rotate the cushion
part of the thumb over the nails of
the left hand rotating it ten timcn
to the right and then ten times to
the left on each nail. Then use the
left thumb to massage the nails on
the right hand. When finished with
the massage pull the tip* of the f.w-
gers gently by placing the thumb
and first finger of the right hand at
th'e side of each finder on the Jett
hand and then pull them firmly oat
to the tips of the fingers. Hope**

Bv LUCY CLAIRE
Fashion Writer for Central Press
While the new silhouette is here
and here to stay with us for some
time revolters to the contrary it
is not being accepted in its most
exaggerated form by American wo-
men. generally speaking. Criticism
of women's clothes is as old as the
Bible. No doubt even Mother Eve
was criticized for wearing her skirts
too short. There will always be this
criticism this revolt whenever a
new mode is introduced because
the majority of those who have
not been to Paris or seen the new
things in the smart shops vizualize
the exaggeration. Skirts are longer
but not long at least for daytime
wear. Lines are fitted but not to
the squeezed-in figure of the naugh-
ty nineties. There is a change but
it is not so great that it will make
us look ridiculous.
The rormal waistline does not
mean something up under the arm
pits any more than the longer skirt
does ncr mean five or six inches
from the ground. The normal waist-
lines are still being posed on the
top of the hips while we are gett-
ing ac ustomed to the raise. Our
sports clothes are still almost
straight lines with skirt lengths
about four inches below the knee.
Afternoon frocks develop uneven
hemlines with long in back or front
or sides or in points or scallops
all around. Not such a terrific dif-
ference after all. Just a little great-
er length a little more fullness and
more molded lines.
Conservative Model
An example of one of the more
conservative afternoon frocks in
brown satin with eggshell trim is
shown at the left of the sketch. The
draping at fhe side and the swath-
ed hip give the modish soft lines
that are in no way extreme. The
eggshell collar repeats the drape
on the skirt. Copper bronze kid
pumps and eggshell hose are worn
with this frock.
A fro<*k or flat crepe in navy blue
has its waistline placed nearer nor-
mal. yet does not look at all radi-
cal. This Is interpreted in a short
jacket or eton effect with a voked
skirt which dips in the front. The
bodice has the effect of the tuck-
in blouse. Navy blue kid shoes of
the one strap version accompany
this frock which you will find
sketched at the right
In the center is a two-piece frock
of black satin the blouse girdled
in shirrings. and elaborated with a
rose taffeta bow edged with chiffon.
Achieving
Beauty
BY MADAME RUBINSTEIN
Whenever I meet a woman for the
first time whether professionally or
socially I pay great attention to one
thing and that is her voice. If she
is a client or if she asks my advice
in a voice that Is raucous or harsh
or strident. I make a mental note
at once—for my beauty advice does
not stop at facts concerning creams
and powders.
A quality which I really admire
rShakespeare makes mention of it
more than once) is "a low gentle
voice." because it is “an excellent
thing in a woman." My own ex-
perience is. that of all the nations
the Englishwoman's voice is the
most charming; some American wo-
men are apt to forget the import-
ance of voice culture. They allow
their emotions to run away with
them and one does often hear a
strident or even a harsh. American
voice. An English voice is always
clear soft and pleasant. A woman's
voice whether of the low. sweet type
the rich contralto kind or the clear
bell-like variety should have a sofr
pleasant tone it should leave behind
with its hearer something like a
pleasant memory.
Of course a charming voice has
to be taken care of. The throat anti
chest must be treated with a consi-
derable amount of respect. Correct
breathing is essential; the mouth
should always be kept closed so that
all pernicious germs which affect
the throat should be excluded and
everybody ought to breath through
the nose and not through the mouth
Reasonable warmth is essential tc
the throat and neck but one should
not over coddle them or exclude
fresh air.
To cultivate a good speaking voice
i the correct pronunciation of words
must not be forgotten.
Much can be achieved in voice cul-
I tivatlon by clear enunciation and in
I giving each syllable its due. Also
take care that you do not allow your
voice to become monotonous.
