Has Heart in Hands

That is the opinion‘ of a. noted sculptor and hand student, Simon Moselsio. For nearly 25 years now Moselsio has been studying hands. In his Berlin studio he has one of the most varied, unusual and noted world collections oi sculptored hands. In his gallery there are 250 different types of hands, hands from such

and physicians. Also many fascin- ating criminal hands. "Hands are the most tell-tale in- dicator of character that humans have." Moselsip stated, slowly, thoughtfully, in his charming broken English. "A woman can shut her eyes. She can seal her lips. Her hands will tell the truth about her character. In fact. her hands mayJ tell much more about herself than she herself knows."

lie Isn't A Palmist ' It is not the lines in the palms} that count, according to Moselsio.’ It is the general shape, the width across at various intervals, the length of fingers, shape and proportion to the palm, the thickness and modell- ing in general and the traceries of blood vessels. Moreover, the move- ment of hands is fully as important as shape. "Ono's little fingers and thumbs are tell-tale digits," Moselsio‘ said. "Take the thumb for instance. If there is e. short distance between the end oi the thumb and the top Joint it indicates a narrow mind, ig- norance. sentimentalism. This is the thumb of a hard-headed business man who is totally devoted to ‘one person. his wife, maybe. ‘l He is apt to overwhelm her with interest but he is brutal to everyone else.

Early facial wrinkles and nervous- ness are often caused by ill-fitting shoes. The shoe worn by the aver- age woman deforms and weakens her feet. Tight. round garters may im- pede the circulation of blood in the legs, or the wrong type o! Birdie 01' brassieres may encourage incorrect posture. Lack of regularity of habit may be the beginning of chronic con-

cause of many beauty problems. Remember, too, that mental P0159 and cheeriulness are prime aids to beauty. The wrinkles caused by fret- iulness or worry cannot be erased by massage alone. Happiness elevates the tone of the body as well as rais- in the splrits: it makes the eyes brighter and the complexion clearer. The daily beauty program includes the care- of the hair, complexion, hands and figure. The hour allotted to these tasks may conveniently be be divided into a short period in the morning and a longer period in the evening at bedtime. The morning period (of about fifteen minutes) should include some simple stretch- ing, trunk-bending exercises and deep breathing exercises, followed by a quick sponge or hand bath and a hard rub down. The face should be bathed in cold water and dried care- fully. A mild astringent lotion may be patted on. '

‘The evening beauty program should be a more leisurely affair. Do reduc- lug exercises for ten or fifteen min- utes. While taking your warm. cleansing bath scrub your hands and push down the cuticle. Exercise your wee by stretching and curling them. Try to make the act of drying your body an exercise for arms and trunk. Massage your scalp for ten minutes unless the oilness is very excessive. Brush your hair well.

Cleanse your face with cleansing cream. Wipe it off and pat on a tissue cream. Massage with a very sent-is. rotary motion under each eye. ‘liking one finger.
