Sees Hands As

Soul Mirrors

By MARIE DOWNING
Although it is frequently said

the soul,~~ I sometimes believe
that the hands mirror a _person~s
character as most as well. In a
sense, the hands move in a wider
orbit than the eyes, and _ their
free and spontaneous actions perhaps ~laim other. people~s attentior more than we. redlize.

We all notice hands on occasion. Sometimes our attention is
forced on them, Restless hands,
fidgety hands, or quiet hands;
well-groomed, ill-groomed; the
warm hand clasp, the clammy
handshake ~ we have them all.
There are certain occasicns when
you especially notice other people~s hand and your own, as for
example, when you are playing
cards. You have an opportunity,
to studv the hands cf those
around you and to compare them
with your own hands.; You study
their size, length,- nails, skin texture, movements, etc.)
COMPARE HANDS,

When you do make. such ob
servations, how do jyour hands
compare with those of other
women.,

that the eves are ~the wndows of |

Perhaps you wish the fingers |
were a little longer and not quite~ pose when you are not using

so thin, a stubby~-or that your
nails were more ~almond-shaped.
Very few people have _ perfect
hands, but any woman can make
her hands attractive if she will
watch two things: (1) the use of
her hands, and (2) the care she
gives them.

Tl.2 first consideration has. t
do with. the-gracefulnegs of wae
hands. That doesn~t mean you
shculd take a course in dramatics. But heres a tip which comes
from the dramatic school: Never
gesture for the sake of gesturing,
or feel that it is necessary to do
this in order to be expressive. A
movement of the hand should be
as natural as a ~ smile, and
as spontaneous.

THOUGHT FIRST

It should be expressive of a
thought or feeling within you.The
thought or feeling should come
firest~and the gesticulation spring
from it, without an effort on your
part. Such movements will then
have a certain natural grace. If
you have a_ tendency to throw
your hands around like a Dutch

windmill, or to effect certain
mannerisms, try to:curb~ these
habits.

refreshment of body and mind.
Hurried eating is responsible for

them. Avoid nervous fidgeting or
playing with jewelry, or parts of
your dress or coat. Of course, I
need nct caution you against b~ting your -nails or fingers.

The second important consideration is the grooming of your
bands~the nails and skin. Dur'ng
these more or less wintry days
when you are inside heated rooms,
It is very easy for the hands. to
become rough and _~ chapped.
Sometimes this is caused by not
thoroughly drying them after
thev have been in water.
LOTION NEEDED

At the best, however, you will
probably find that~ a gocd hand
lotion is necessary to keep the
skin soft and pliable. Your nails
should also be faultlessly manicured~special care given to the
cuticle and shaping of the na~ls.
Then, too add the finishing touch,
a well-chosen shade of _ polish
should be applied.

Your hands, the same as your
hair, deserve special beauty attention.

MONTGOMERY, Ala.~(ANP)
~If a prophecy comes through,
the American Negro group will
produce fewer outstanding leaders, but qa stronger mass group.
And Miss Mary Francis Terrell,
educator and church worker,
should know. Fcr nearly 50 years
she has been aiding in the formation of ideas that the southern
Negro youth in this section has
been contributing ot his nation~s
welfare.

For 50 years next Fall, Miss
Terrell has been a member of
the faculty of State Teachers
college, beginning her long.career under the presidency of the
founder, Williar. Burns Pattersen. In this cayacity she has seen
the Negro youth start his early
training for life, become qa matured individual and eventually
take his place in society
LACKS DISCIPLINE

How does she compar? the past
curriculum with the present? She
considers the present curriculum
very interesting and expects # to
to the
present generation Negro. She
deplores its apparent lack of discivline, but is enamoured of its
plan to educate the child in keeping with the needs of his community and better still, his nation.

She believes that this will help
to solve many citizenship difficulties of the Negro. In the past,
she argued, Negroes were taught
to despise citizenship, but it
would be foolhardy to educate
any group for citenship and
then after they have completed
formal training to take that away
from them.

Miss Terrell expressed great
admiration for the courageous.
fight Negroés are putting up for;
equal salaries.

The Negro teacher suffering;
from the pangs of underpay is
not likely to educate the
gro child along the lines of the
new curnNculum w'th any convic
tion. The Negro teacher has done}

his part to build this superstucture of 20th century democracy.
He has never to my knowledge
contributed anything subversive
