AVOID TIGHT SLEEVES ARE SURE TO BRING ABOUT RED- ‘ DENING OF THE HANDS. Easy Method of Improving Square or Spatulated Finger Tips—Graceful Gestures Do Much to Con- ceal Natural Defects. If the hands are large and inclined to redness, it is wrong to wear tight sleeves. The pressure on the muscles of the arm will make the hands swell and emphasize the knotted look if this defect exists. The redness, which all women of refined taste should fear, is the direct result of close sleeves and wristbands too tight. Such fixings, merely from the esthetic point, are be- sides very unbecoming to a large, ill- formed hand. Square or spatulated finger tips may be improved by a daily pinching up of the ends of the fingers. But this must be done often to obtain good results, and, of course, it is not to be expected that filbert nails and al- mond-shaped finger points can be ac- quired if nature has denied them. The best one can do is to try and improve defects through infinite care, the study of graceful gestures, and artis- tic and becoming costume. If the nalls of square finger tips are cut square, the nail will continue to broaden and flatten. The nails should be cut in a delicate oval, with the curve left somewhat longer than the flesh, and this trimming as we]l; as the pinching must always be done | after the hand-bath, which, of course, | must be taken in hot water with a' good soap. !

Put out the hand with el- bow bent, palm up, the fingers curved. ‘This attitude of the and arm at once suggests ‘graciousness, whereas the poker thrust from shoulder to finger tip hints of a nature naturally rough and unfeeling.

NELSON. FV—————————— (Copyright.) It was hot—and very still—in the court room. From without came a dis- tant rumble of life, a faint clanging of trolley-car bells, or the roll of heavy trucks over the cobbles of the thor- oughtare blocks away; but this was a quiet side street. In the intense heat of mid-afternoon in July the rows of wooden houses, pretentious enough in the early part of the century, were now little used and falling to decay; the overgrown yards, the wide street with its few old trees, stretched sunny and deserted. Now and then a footstep might be heard far up the street, pass, and then grow fainter in the distance. But for the most part people pre- ferred to doze behind closed blinds till ony of the prison life added to the never-ceasing cruelty of his thoughts, slowly eating away his sanity; and then, to go out into the world, to run across old friends again, with the brand of a jailbird ever upon him!

The defendant was a young man, un- der thirty; the whiteness of his clean-, cut face was intensified by dark lines of dissipation under his eyes.

The old life was dead and gone. “Jove!" he told himself, “there are 80 many big things a fellow can do— such a satisfaction working day and night toward some one end—" To be sure he hadn't worked very much yet, but he had always meant to —always dreamed of great things he would do for the world some time. So far his life had been something of & failure, it's true; these last four years, anyway, he had gone a pretty fast gait. But had he had half a chance? His face grew dark as one memory after another crowded upon him; one of a mere lad eagerly pleading for- giveness from his father for some thoughtless prank, but the stern frig- 1dity of the old gentleman did not soft- en; of a young man, with a face grown harder and more sullen, suspended from college without a fair hearing because he would not “peach” on his chum—and a thousand others. The lines of bitterness around his mouth deepened; then came his lawyers words: “How well we remember our own young days, when perhaps we, too, sowed a pretty good sized crop of wild oats. Gentlemen of the jury, what {8 this so-called crime but a boy- ish trick, carried, perhaps, too far? And always—" The defendant’s face cleared, and he smiled. It seemed as if the harum- scarum lad, that young daredevil, were another person entirely; he himself was 80 changed now. Of course, peo- ple would make allowances for the wildness of a young man; they were always ready to forgive the scrapes of mischievous boys, especlally the good- looking ones. And then like a flash came a picture of a day long ago, when he was a boy off in the country; a picture of the old, weather-beaten court house at Pleasant Mountain, overgrown with woodbine, and a great weeping willow almost in front of the door. That day he and Bud Wiliins and Andy Blake had been to the circus at Upton—Upton was twelve miles from his father's farm; it was such a large, flourishing town, with a brick walk down Main street, and the circus always came there; and that exciting day he and Andy and Bud had been to the circus, and then—oh, joy! had happened in upon a real live trial at the court house. Bud and Andy had shinned up the willow tree and peeped in the window, but he had on his Sunday pants and frowned upon shinning; so he had shoved and ducked in through the crowd of farmers. He could see now, after all these cold-bRoded crime and a sad mistake. How kind and broadminded they i looked; how ready to lsten to reason i and be convinced. He thought that he had never seen such a benevolent face at the judge's. It recalled a verse from some old book, “Charity suffereth ! long, and is kind.” Yes, that was the ! judge’s face exactly. What a splendid thing this Ameri- . can system of law is, thought the ac- cused. No hanging a man by a crazy | mob, swayed for an instant by a blind fury against some poor wretch. No tyranny of a headstrong king, banish- ing a noble to the Tower for a mo- mentary dislike or the whim of a fav- orite.. What a difference now—noth- ing rash or emotional—all coolness and keen judgment, justice and— mercy ! How alert his every sense was! Now his lawyer had finished the appeal, had taken his seat amid a burst of applause, and the jurymen adjourned to the next room. He watched them untfl the door shut. There was no look in a single one of the faces, of that hard relentlessness that he had been used to; the very broadness of their comfortable backs seemed tolerant with that charity for a4 human being that was stirring all humanity. The jurymen were not out of the room ten minutes. The facts of the case were quite clear to them; they were in a hurry to get home, and this was but a trifle; the murder trial on for tomorrow promised some excite- ment. One must have held back, vot- ing against the decision of the others, but the outer room and its furnace breath had overcome his slight re- luctance. In the court room the accused sat with his head in his hands; his thoughts were still running riot, he had to exert a supreme effort of will to hold himself in the chair. His pulses were tingling fiercely, with the love of mere living, with an exhilara- tion of gratitude that contracted his throat, with the sweetness of freedom after this tense nightmare, with a mighty resolve for the future— “Thank heaven! I'm not an old man yet. Really, I'm awtully young!” He almost laughed aloud in joyous real- ization of the long, free life still be- fore him— An" expectant hush, following the restless stir of the room warned him that the jury had returned. He turned with a halt smile on his lips to hear the verdict as the little clerk asked: “Guilty or not guilty?” And the answer was— “Guilty!” » High class breeding birds reasonable prices.
