Barring the face to the sun and wind Is a
mistake. Unfortunately we are too often
not brought to realization Of this until
the mischief is done. Then begins a hunt
for freckle lotions or a remedy for sun
burn. Walk Just as much as you please in
the face Of the gale; sit In the sun until
every pore in your body is drenched with
" rays, but do 1t with your face well
draped In something thicker than a Uilk

Some women are annoyed with hairs
growing on their faces. I can hardly
blame woman for using every means pos
