What luck it is that freckles are the
mode. They are healthful, wholesome,
good -natured freckles. Not the black
kind that make girl look like an ami
mated turkey egg, but nice little golden
Hecks like drops Of sunshine. A girl
that comes back to town looking pink
and white is, in the expressive language
Of the wicked small boy, not at all in
it. The girl that is popular now is a
round-fsced, plump creature. with dear
little hard hands just the color Of choco.

plainly where she's been kissed by the
sun. as s
All this is very agreeable, isn't it?
But there are kisses and kisses, and
the sun is not always discriminating in
his caresses. No one likes to be rosy
nosed and saffron checked, and that's
what some luckless girls are just now.
There are two splendid ways to get off
that bibulous tint from your nose, and
that orange tint from your cheeks.
Simple old fashioned ways and they are
worth Just three dozen times their
weight In all the modern cosmetics that
were ever brewed.
Ono Of 'em is strawberries. just get
: lew ripe berries and wash 'em. Wash
your face in the juice until you look
like q noble red man, rub the
berries on the skin and hold them to the
worst bits of tan. Do this few nights.
Your skin will be as soft az baby's. If
you can't get the berries, get some but
termilk: wash your face in it, and then
take soft cloths and poultice your face in
the milk.
Now, every one that ever had q grand
mother has heard of these remedies.
Those same grandmothers knew good
deal more about the care Of the skin
than many . beauty doctor, but then
Egyptian balm and Venus lotion do

So lots Of the girls have forgotten these
homelv cosmetics. It would be q re-
markably paying Investment if they
would 60 straight back and remember
'em.

Another thing. when you come home
from the shore or the mountains, take
. lev days and be . nice, sensible little
hermit. Don't see anyone, don't do
anything, don't bother about thing in
the world but your comfort and your
looks. They're good things to attend
to for day or two.
Wear loose clothes, brush your hair,
look over old letters, eat plenty of fruit,
and forget all about the tiny heartache
you brought away with you from the
last waltz at the last hop. You'll learn
q good deal in those few days. You'll
learn how very small the vexatious
trifies we're that seemed so big to you
when you were tired and cross.
You'll see wee line around your
mouth that hasn't shadow of right
to be there; that's the line that was
made when you screwed your face up in
the sunshine. Smooth it out. You can.
Then look over your wardrobe and get
few plans into shape for the season.
When you're entirely rested, and you
are not entirely rested until you
enjoy your breakfast, and laugh at
funny stories with real enjoyment--get
forth into the bye-ways and highways,
and choose yours.
There's one gown you must
have. A storm gown. Get a
serviceable Scotch tweed and have
it made gracefully but simply.
Have it as light as possible. All the
weight will fall from your shoulders, OF
course, and have hat that can be rained
on like . sunfiower. Then you'll be

That's one of the ways the English girls
. mp, and they tramp for hours in the rain.
They wear heavy boots, and they do not
carry an umbrella. Rain is splendid
cosmetic. There are pretty CATERS TO be
made of the gown material which will
keep the ankles snug and warm, and
there you are!
Riding is more and more the vogue.
Toilets are pvettier than ever. The
+ severe Puritan sort Of get-up is
going out, and the most correct of
damsels may wear gay, little waist

It's q good thing, too, for the simple
severity of the old school habit was very
