NEW YoRK, Aug. S.-"You are stealing
the trade-stealing the trade" exclaimed
the beauteous Georgia Cayvan TO a group
! Of young adorers, who thronged her dress
/ ing room ono evening as usual when she
was preparing for her entrance to the stage.
! "Wel, tell US the secret then, and we
won't be obliged to steal it," laughingly
answered one Of the girls who stood nearest
the stage divinity. TELL us what you do
to your ears to make them so pretty. Why
every body notices them, even way across
the theater aud up in the balcony. They
are always 50 pink and pretty that they
look Just like sea Shells Tell US how 1T is
done"
/ In response to this appeal, Miss Cayvan
seated herself upon one Of the blue diyaus
! in her DIR Issing room and proceeded to give
the formula for producing seashelI ears.
Aud this is it. | tell the tale just as 1t was
told TO me.
| First OF all let the girl who wishes to
make her ears very pink and very pretty
and very shell like, battle them with very
! hot water and then with very cold water
| alternating the two rapidly without letting
either extreme heat or cold penetrate the
ear so as to do any damage. Then after
drying them thoroughly let them be
doctored lightly with some kind Of very
good toilet powder-rice powder o5Neny
other that bears the stamp Of popular ap-
prevail Next, the ear should be carefully
| rubbed with piece of fine soft cloth, so as
to remove all powder, and then do not
| shudder) little cold cream, very little,
| should be ever SO cheerfully rubbed in.
Following this, there is light busting OF
| powder, and lastly, each ear should be
given a tiny dab with the little pink fluff
which every woman has among her toilet
| accessories. This gives just suScpicion OF
coloring to the ears and makes them family
| pink, so that they form a pretty accom-
panimsnt to rosy cheeks, red lips and bright
| eyes.
| Down at the beach, one sees ell the girls
trying to produce these seashell ears, and,
instead OF proudly Boosting Of her skill in
manicuring, the young summer girl asks
you to admire the art with which she has
tinted her own pretty ears.
How to look pretty on the way from the
bathing house to the beach is another prob
lem which the summer girl has grappled
with all her might and has triumphautly
conquered. You know, at the seashore
there is always long strip of sand leading
from the bathing houses, over which one
must go before an eager. curious crowd,
before one can reach the surf and be
prettily swallowed up in its depths. A few
Of the most courageous young women did
not hesitate to dart out OF the bathing
house, skip along the board walk, trudge
through the sand and make first plunge,
clad only In the limited bathing suit, which
fashion allowed But ever so many more
young women did object to taking this first
little run in such scant attire, and it was
pitiful to see these modest maidens skipping
out of these bath houses and peeping forth
from the dressing rooms trying to get up
the courage to do nnd to dare.
One day the girls talked it over, and they
resolved that they would Immediately get
something that should act as bathing robe,
and be not only useful, but pretty withal.
Capes were hideous. that they all agreed
upon. Gossamers were worse, and the old
circulars and waterproofs, which had been
wrapped around them previous years, were
decided to be such an abomination of DESC
lation that no girl with particle OF pride
would stir a step with one on. Something
new and natty and pretty, and easily pro-
cured, must be found right away to answer
the purpose of bathing robe.
Now, what do you think those girls OF
talent and great inventive faculty devised
v.
tiful, picturesque, toga-like cloeks out Of
blue sail cloth and red flannel. The sal
cloth was about the only thing that could
be found at the seashore in any great abun-
dance, and SO they invested in 1t heavily
Red flannel was, of course, procurable and
this was used for lining. The edges OF the
bathing robes were bound with white braid

their way down to the surf.
Coming out of the water, 1t is quite diff
ferent. BY that time woman is used Il
having people to look at her, and she doe
not mind it at all. In fact she rather like

his arm going back, or Il will be left upol
the sand FOR the maid to pick up ss she fol
lows her young mistress back to the bath
ing house.
| Doing the rustic Is one of the fads TO
| the summer season. 1t is rapidly fashion
able with actresses who find that they can
not get up a proper degree of seclusion a
any of the summer resorts, and who, there
fore, HE themselves to some quiet country
place where they can sleep at night and ge
plenty of exercise and air during the day t,

are not doing summer engagements.
The plan is to hire little villa of in thu
country somewhere, and to transpor
thither an abundant corps of servants, an
to retire there for the summer, inviting
few choice spirits to come and stay a wee
at time. To do the rustic properly th
amateur country girl must rise at O'Clock
and after a cold bath must go forth to tn
stables, milkpail in hand and milk at leas
part of one lowing kline. Then she mus
return, and taking herself to the dair
must skim the cream from the day before
churn and look after the cream pots, mil
pans and butter bowls. Then she is per
mitted to have a light breakfast, afte
which she must go forth. watering pot II

any Of the girls have arisen.
After the regular breakfast the poo
amateur country girl is permitted to take
siesta, and then she must rise and ride horse
back, tramp a certain number of miles. ca
dinner in the middle OF the day, and retir
at z O'Clock after she has partaken OF q ligh
supper. 1t is a sort Of penance to be invites
to visit one of these country ladies', becaus
as a guest Of the house one must fall into tn
house routine. But then such celebrated
women are indulging in this kind of lif
that the honor rather offsets the stupid tim
which one enjoys.

SO much alike that they are almost twins il
