were trying to preserve your complexion
from the inroads of the weather.
1t is very charming to see young woman
put on her yachting cap and sally forth to
face the rough sea breezss and endure the
splash of the salt water and the burning OF
the MONDAY sun without ever a thought Of
burning her skin. Aud she looks very
pretty tramping about the deck, or leaning
over the edge of the rail watching the hshes
and gayly talking to the mIdship daddy who
has taken her for the outing.
But she isn't half so pretty six hours

lovely pink in her cheeks to bright poppy

After the skin has peeled off once or twice,
the summer girls face becomes hardened,
and she coasts that she does not care for the
suns ray. nor for the reflection Of the same

man and she's mighty proud of it.
Now all this is very nice, ana it sounds
very pretty. and people admire her when
she talks that way, and they wonder how
she can be so independent and SO fearless.
But the day of reckoning must come. And,

II is not so easy to protect the face when
yachting, but something can always be done
by means of veil-and a woman is per-
mitted to wear one of these on every occa-
sion. Put the veil on loosely and have it
so long that it will cover your chin and be
gathered in folds around your neck. II will
