a fortune on jeweled waistcoat buttons has re-

slightly longer than the end of
your fingertips. Long pointed
nails, in vogue since the Ameri-
can woman started painting her
nails with color, have gradually
disappeared from the scene.
Back in the Chow dynasty, do-
wagers used to let their nails
grow to such a length that they
required gold-tipped supporters.
But the new feminine era of
longer skirts and padded hips
makes the American woman con-
scious of her lady-like charms.
Besides, the average American
girl works for a living, in her
home or elsewhere. Though she
strives to keep herself well-
groomed at all times, she can’t
afford to take the time or trouble
to let her nails grow to the point
of being cumbersome.
To get that pretty, well-cared-
for look to your nails,-leave the1
moons. Don’t cover the whole
nail, and leave a snowy white tip.
If your nails are ridged or if the
tips are inclined to be brittle,- and
you feel you must cover them
with polish to hide these small
flaws, make use of a nail buffer.
Leave polish off your nails for a
few days and buff them faith-
fully. Pretty soon the tip will
look as smooth as the rest of your
nail.
Blue is going to be a hit color
for spring in fabrics of every de-
scription and in fashion acces-
sories. Candybox and ribbon pink
nailpolishes, gay, as strawberry
sodas, will be popular comple-
ments indeed.
Few girls buy a lipstick after
they already have selected their
nailpolishes. Today most of these
come in sets and are purchased

attended.
The objectives of P.-T.A. are
health and nutrition programs.

teria operation. There are now
1,300 members in the Gainesville
.associations.
