The experience Of this summer win convince
many wearers that silk of the hghtest sort is
not cool fabric. It draws and heats the skin,
especially under July sun, incredibly, and the
patent-leatber shoes which are happily going
out OF fashion, complete the torture. A few
wearers OF individual taste have elegant dresses
OF black linen lawn, in directory styles, with
blouses OF white Shanghai silk, highly en-
broidered between the cluster gathers, and
with ruffies of Mechlin, with feather stitching
OF .black silk in excellent effect. Tho crisp,
fresh look of the lawn and its feeling recon-
mend 1t above silk for midsummer wear.
Morning jackets of white birdseye linen or the
fine Barnesley damask, trimmed with linen
crochet point, or Medici lace last for a lifetime
and are handsome as they are serviceable.
The comfortable addition to the toilet this
season is the new linen corset Just out, so cool
so light and well fashioned that women will
covet it at sight.
GIRL WHOSE FACE GETS RED.
1t is worth the annoyance of many stupid
letters to receive one like that which follows
Saying in all confidence that she is owner
OF gook eomplexion and il called pretty, she
goes on: sBut there is one thing that will ruin
my life if itkeeps on, and it is just this: When
go out in the summer my face gets as red as a
beet. Even in winter it is sometimes the same
way; but in the summer it is terrible. 1t Just
seems as If every drop of blood in my body
goes into my face It does not come from
over-eating, for am very light eater. Ihave
bean, and he asked me to go on an excursion
lately, but refused for this reason; but did
not tell him so. am not nineteen and father
and mother both like him. / have plenty Of
friends and good Clothes and play the piano,
but these things are nothing to me. / am
utterly miserable. II you can give me any
you =" A man might well be
proud Of the favor of girl who
can write such sweet, frank, honest letter.
She must forgive me if give the world to read
lines it will be the better fora posy of sweet
brier and sweet peas, with the dew on them.
wish all heart troubles were as easy to cure
The determination of blood to the head in such
cases comes from too sedentary life, and is
remedied by daily baths and rubbing all over,
dose Of purgative medicine, say q dessert
spoonful of epson salts, followed by seidlitz
powder before breakfast for a week, with Ora
ham bread, berries, and cracked wheat for at
least two meals day. Beside this, one should
spend as much as possible of every day in the
open air, sewing, reading, lounging out of
doors, on porch or lawn. Even in the CITY, sit
ting on a balcony or by an open window is bet
ter than being indoors. This letter Is written
on back porch in New York street, which
affords glimpse of red geraniums, tree hung
with fine, new caterpillar tents, and watt of
fresh Jersey air from across the river, which
shows how much Of natural sights and
freshness are attainable between city
walls. MARIAN ought to know that
pulling superfuous hair out by twee-
zers increases its growth. Better cut the
hair close to the roots with sharp scissors than
pull it out. The remedy for superfiuous hair
is a secret. Powdered magnesia or very fine
chalk are good for oily SKINS as the alkaline
powder neutralzes the oil, and as the ducts
are choked with over secretions of fat, the
powder can do no harm by closing the pores
for the few hours in society during which the
powder is worn. The face should be carefully
washed with soap before and after using
powder. There is a fine preparation Of full
ers earth sold by London chemist which is
good for greasy skins, and strong camphor is
the best thing for refining the large pores of
the nose and chin. Washing Titan colored
hair in weak ammonia dilution tablespoon
full to three quarts of water, and drying it in
the sun, lightens the color. SHIRLEY DARE.
