What Cause. Rosy Cheeks.

The stimulus from the suns dlrec t
rays and that arising from the fric-
tion of the fresh air causes increased
activity in the capillaries supplying
the surface with blood. When this
stimulous is continued for any con-
siderable time these vessels become
gorged, and minute portions of the
blood force their way into the layer
Immediately under the epidermis, or
outer skin. 1t is the presence of the
red corpuscles Of blood which gives
the ruddy flesh tint seen through the
outer skin. At tho same time the
sweat glands and oil glands, whose
function it is to lubricate the surface
and keep it moist and cool, becomes
exhausted by overstimulus;the outer
skin gets hard and dry, and soon be-
gins to peel off in the familiar way,
taking the minute particles of extrav-
asated blood along with it. Direct
sunlight also has darkening effect
upon the actual coloring pigments
OF tho skin. but this action is dis
tinct from actual tanning. and mani
tests itself in the form OF freckles.
Tho permanent bronze or ruddiness
of complexion seen in sailors and
travellers in hot countr les is the re-
suit of u long continued combina-

The tides, which are gtry various,

the shallowness OF the water and the
fact that the ebb and food meet and
part just of Dover, kick up at times
an entirely peculiar and abonipable

most delicious perfumes can never
be patented nor photographed i,
though they linger on the brain for
years. Not even the sunny curls or
the tinted miniature can recall llfe's
happiest moments like the cherishe d
odor of ones favorite flower. What
can compare in voluptuous sweetnes s
with the fresh rose she gave you?
