CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This utility patent application claims the benefit of provisional application No. 60/766,342, filed Jan. 11, 2006. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not Applicable. THE NAMES OF THE PARTIES TO A JOINT RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0003] Not Applicable. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] 1. Field of the Invention [0005] The present invention relates to wearable tissue holders and particularly to a hand-worn band holder for holding and carrying of facial tissue or handkerchiefs and ready wiping of a user's nose which permits easy access of the tissue for use during sports, gardening or other activities that make it inconvenient to find a tissue; the hand-worn holder comprises a fabric strap having a plurality of tissue-holding slits therein and also a thumb encircling aperture at each end thereof, a first thumb encircling aperture is placed about the thumb, the strap wrapped around the hand and the second thumb encircling aperture is placed about the thumb to secure the device, the device itself may alternately be used as a nose wipe in the absence of tissues. [0006] 2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98 [0007] Many people experience nasal drip while working or playing or exercising outdoors in cooler weather. Digging through pockets for a tissue or handkerchief is very inconvenient if the hands are otherwise occupied, especially if the user is wearing gloves. The prior art does not adequately address the problem of having a tissue or handkerchief in a position on the body of a wearer for ready use, especially located on a back of a user's hand. [0008] U.S. Patent Application #20020084279, published Jul. 4, 2002 by Lickstein, shows a wearable dispenser suitable for containing tissues. The connector is a wristband which can be worn about a wrist of a child. [0009] U.S. Patent Application #20040031120, published Feb. 19, 2004 by Cherian, claims a wiping means to help skiers, hunters, cyclists, tennis players and others in keeping their nose clean and dry. The device may also be used to wipe sweat from foreheads. Various embodiments are shown. For example, the wipes can be attached to gloves, or to sleeves of jackets, or can simply be in the shape of a wristband or armband. Wipes can be covered for esthetic reasons. Wipes and their components can be provided together with their base patches; or separately, where users can purchase spare sponges to apply to their existing patches. Both patches and/or sponges can be of various colors and/or imprinted with logos, trade names, or other advertising information. [0010] U.S. Patent Application #20020073475, published Jun. 20, 2002 by Bloom, describes a nose wipe accessory for outerwear, which allows a user thereof to attend to a runny nose while wearing gloves in an environment in which the person's movement is restricted. The nose wipe accessory includes an outer flap fixed along one edge thereof to the sleeve of an outerwear garment, the remaining edges of the outer flap removably attached to the sleeve of the garment, such that the flap may be readily opened to allow access to a disposable nose wipe insert releasably retained on the sleeve. A lotion insert may be disposed between the nose wipe insert and the sleeve to allow a user to apply a soothing lotion emitted therefrom to the user's nose. Alternatively, the nose wipe accessory may be attached to an armband worn on a sleeve, or may be attached to a sleeve with straps, allowing the user to wear the nose wipe accessory interchangeably with multiple outerwear garments. [0011] U.S. Patent Application #20020103466, published Aug. 1, 2002 by Petix, discloses an apparatus for absorbing nasal drip during an activity, the apparatus consisting of a means for encapsulating at least one digit of a hand with a flexible, absorbent material. The apparatus is secured to the hand by means of a strap extending from the absorbent material that is secured about the wrist of the user. The apparatus may be sized to fit over a gloved hand to enable the use of the apparatus in different conditions. [0012] U.S. Pat. No. 4,244,057, issued Jan. 13, 1981 to Burnham, provides a nasal drip absorbing device for use in cold weather which includes an absorbent pad with a removable connection member at its underside, cooperative with a matching attachment member permanently secured to an article of clothing, so that the pad may be readily attached to and detached from the article. The article of clothing is an outer garment worn in cold weather, such as a glove or a coat sleeve, or it may be an elastic band which may be worn over the sleeve or the glove. The absorbent pad may be of washable fabric or of a disposable material such as layered paper. [0013] U.S. Patent #D446,381, issued Aug. 14, 2001 to Garfield, shows the ornamental design for a cuff-like wristkerchief. [0014] U.S. Pat. No. 4,536,889, issued Aug. 27, 1985 to Taylor, claims a face and nose wiper holder for skiers, adapted for attachment to the lower arm of the skier and having a retractable cover exposing the wiper for use by the skier without removal from the holder. The holder is adapted for use of facial tissue sheet wipers or of pre-packaged absorbent pad wipers. According to another aspect of the invention, the wiper holder may be adapted for use upon the wrist of one of the skier's gloves. [0015] U.S. Pat. No. 1,426,797, issued Aug. 22, 1922 to Wangelin, describes a handkerchief retainer for gloves that comprises a loop attachable to the glove, which holds a kerchief in an easily accessible place. [0016] U.S. Pat. No. 4,805,242, issued Feb. 21, 1989 to Bolton, discloses a tissue packet holder for incorporation in a leather ski-glove or other like article of clothing. The device includes a packet-receiving opening in the outer layer of the article, the edges of the opening holding the sides of the packet, and an inner layer of material for supporting the bottom, major surface of the packet. There is a first, generally rectangular and flexible packet-retaining flap having a tissue-passing aperture therein and pivotally secured along one of its sides to the article outer layer, adjacent the packet-receiving opening. The periphery of the inner major surface of this first flap is equipped with a Velcro strip and the packet-receiving opening is bordered with a complementary Velcro strip. Thus the first flap is foldable to a closed position in which its Velcro strip engages the complementary Velcro strip, and inner surface portions of the flap engage the top of the packet to hold it against outward movement. The aperture allows tissues to be dispensed from the secured packet. A second, generally rectangular over-flap is also Velcro equipped and has one end secured to the article outer layer, and is foldable entirely over the closed first flap and is releasably held in that position by engagement with a complementary Velcro strip on the article outer layer. [0017] U.S. Pat. No. 5,706,521, issued Jan. 13, 1998 to Haney, indicates a glove for use by persons engaged in sports and work activities which has a pair of first pads attached to a back portion, the first pads having surfaces of a first character, and a removable cushion made of an absorbent cloth and having a pair of second pads with surfaces of a second character for gripping detachable engagement with the first pads, whereby engagement of the cushion to the glove provides an absorbent cushion for wiping perspiration from a user wearing the gloves. [0018] What is needed is a hand-worn holder for holding and carrying of facial tissue or handkerchiefs which permits easy access of the tissue for use during sports, gardening or other activities that make it inconvenient to find a tissue. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0019] An object of the present invention is a hand-worn holder and nose wipe band of soft absorbent washable fabric which wraps around a user's hand with a pair of slits through the fabric on the back of the hand of the user for holding and carrying facial tissue or a handkerchief inserted through the slits and under the fabric between the slits to hold the tissues or handkerchief on the back of the user's hand to permit easy access to the tissues or handkerchief for use during sports, gardening or other activities that make it inconvenient to find a tissue.
