how many lucklesS women seem to nave
-, inheritance of this kind of complex
,on They look forward to a hot day or
warm room with the same kind of
shrinking that some people do when they
meet mouse or a spider out for its daily
-.au, They know full well the awful
-enaltv they will pay for going out in the
en-, foY. even the quietest and most inno-
cont of walks. AS to active games or de-
,t,brful exercise on the ubiquitous bicy-
o1o that other women revel in, they feel
+bat the terrifying spectacle they viii
r-rasan+ at the end of their ride is enough
- make them solemnly resolve that
never never will they take their exer-
,,sa on that kind of thing again.
They have a morbid desire to constant
n, look in a glass to see if the effect is
worry awful and if they yield to this de-
.ira their peace of mind will be gone for
the rest of the day. They will behold
chin that looks as If it had been well
,,bbed with a cloth that had been dip
nod in oil The cruel light will
soem TO radiate from very glossy sur
face which shines and shines again till
the face looks like highly polished
shield.
Sufferers from this oiliness of skin
ro.st of course, first consider what pro
duces this complaint, and take active
measures to cure it. 1t is caused by
either weakness OF some disorder of the
svsten1 and the diet should be carefully
attended to first of all. Rich foods of all
kinds must be given up. and plain nurse
nv cooking, with plenty of fruit and veg
etables taken instead.
hot. il-ventilated rooms must be
avoided. as well as late hours and heavy
he'd clothing Plenty Of outdoor exercise
must be a daily item in our life. A daily
bath of tepid water, douche baths, and
am occasional Turkish bath must be
talsan Rut this last must never be taken
EXCEPT under medical orders.
Anerient medicines should be taken in
the morning and fresh fruit eaten while
dressing. Apples or oranges are advised
at this hour If fresh fruit is difficult to
obtain. French plums, figs dipped in oil,
or prunes may be taken instead. Salads
should be eaten for breakfast and lunch;
watercress and dandelion can be advant-
ageously used for this purpose, as well as
lettuce.
AS to the treatment of the skin itself,
this must be most carefully attended TO.
The SErn OF lne DOuy must De wen Aub-
bed with a loofah or electric brush, and
to the bath water boraX, vinegar, or car
Donate of soda can be added.
For the face, of course, different treat
ment is required. BoraX can, however,
be used in the water, and. when possible,
only rain water must touch the complex
ion. White wine of some kind chat from
the Rhine is the besO must be used to
battle the lace with twice a day, or this
lotion can be used instead: White rose
leaves dried, three ounces, on which has
been put a pint and half of purest
white wine vinegar. Let this steep for
two weeks, or longer, then strain through
fine muslin and add a pint of rosewater
and an ounce of fresh cucumber juice.
If the skin is very greasy, sponge
dipped in benzoin should be first rubbed
over the skin and then the astringent
lotion applied. All greasy ointrnents, etc,
must be kept far away from the face,
and the softest towels only be used for
the skin. Face powder must on no ac-
count be used as this will only help to
make matters much worse.
have had my thinking cap on for a
long, long time, and have finally decided
that would give the bicycle girls of Sa
vannah the benefit of all this long think
ing, with just a tiny bit of good advice
thrown in. Since everybody else is talk
ing wheels and boomers, 1 want to talk
about them too, and apropos of the bloom
ers, almost everybody in our city thinks
they are dreadful and many other horried
things but do you know, girls, the bloom
ers are really gust the thing" to wear
with short skirt an inch or two below the
knees Leggins, boomers and short
skirts are becoming to almost every kind
of figure while low shoes, black hose and
white linen are not modest on a bicycle.

a gust of wind raises your dress a trlfe
while walking, but when on a wheel you
go flying down the principal streets, re-
CARELESS of the fact that your white drap-
cries are very much zen evidence" to the
onlookers, whom you doubtless think are
admiring your graceful riding, when real
ly you are being criticised by them. Jump
off your wheel at one of the corners and
watch the bieyclsts ride by for a few
minutes. If you will, l am sure it will
sound the death kneI to ordinary attire

at the much maligned boomers. but hail
them with Joy. Lou Lix.
