Her stockings are wrinkled and, with a snowy neck, her arms are red and blotchy, while she leans upon the table and eats in a horrible manner, with bright red paws, holding her knife and fork ungracefully; and, last of all, her head is arranged with that awful bundle of sausage curls which I warned you about! HER STOCKINGS ARE WRINKLED AND WITH A SNOWY NECK HER ARMS ARE RED AND BLOTCHY WHILE SHE LEANS UPON THE TABLE AND EATS IN A HORRIBLE MANNER WITH BRIGHT RED PAWS HOLDING HER KNIFE AND FORK UNGRACEFULLY AND LAST OF ALL HER HAIR IS ARRANGED WITH THAT AWFUL BUNDLE OF SAUSAGE CURLS WHICH I WARNED YOU ABOUT
heir hands in these days. The outdoor games and the boyish carelessness about wearing gloves have almost destroyed beautiful white hands, in the present generation, and you will often see the ugliest housemaid’s fists upon the “Lady Clara Vere de Veres,” whose mothers are famed for the beauty of their own fingers. Try to counteract by care the inevitable effect of outdoor games upon your hands, Caroline; use creams, wear gloves when it is possible, and keep your nails nicely polished. Why let one good thing spoil another? Games are good for the health, and pretty white fingers are pleasant to the sight. Indeed, whatever your personal disadvantages may be, use the greatest intelligence and get art to remedy them; do not let them slide with the casual idea that they are only youth, and that you will grow out of them. I am staying in a hotel in the South at the present moment, where there is an extraordinarily pretty young girl, whose mother has allowed her to stoop and stand all crooked. S ARE NOT PARTICULAR ABOUT THEIR HANDS THESE DAYS THE OUTDOOR GAMES AND THE BOYISH CARELESSNESS ABOUT WEARING GLOVES HAVE ALMOST DESTROYED BEAUTIFUL WHITE HANDS IN THE PRESENT GENERATION AND YOU WILL OFTEN SEE THE UGLIEST HOUSEMAID'S FISTS UPON THE LADY CLARA VILLE DE VERE WHOSE MOTHERS ARE FAMED FOR THE BEAUTY OF THEIR OWN FINGERS TRY TO COUNTERACT BY CARE THE INEVITABLE EFFECT OF OUTDOOR GAMES UPON YOUR HANDS CAROLINE USE CREAMS WEAR GLOVES WHEN IT IS POSSIBLE AND KEEP YOUR NAILS NICELY POLISHED WHY LET ONE GOOD THING SPOIL ANOTHER GAMES ARE GOOD FOR THE HEALTH AND PRETTY WHITE FINGERS ARE PLEASANT TO THE SIGHT INDEED WHATEVER YOUR PERSONAL DISADVANTAGES MAY BE USE THE GREATEST INTELLIGENCE AND GET ART TO REMEDY THEM DO NOT LET THEM SLIDE WITH A CASUAL IDEA THAT THEY ARE ONLY YOUTH AND THAT YOU WILL GROW OUT OF THEM I AM STAYING IN A HOTEL IN THE SOUTH AT THE PRESENT MOMENT WHERE THERE IS AN EXTRAORDINARILY PRETTY YOUNG GIRL WHOSE MOTHER HAS ALLOWED HER TO STOOP AND STAND ALL CROOKED
