THE MILITHRY GIRL THE GIRL OF THE HOUR.

S1THE girl of the moment, an athletic
 maid two short months ago, has
 H changed with the times and become
 military. The men she goes with
 hardly know her Even her clothes, her skirts, her hats and her waists have the spirit of the army-or the navy-in them these days, her walk is modelled upon marching and her vocabulary of slang and topical expression has been re- vised until two sentences out of three hang upon martial terms.
 In fact, to be armylike is the fad of the moment, and the girl of the sets has taken up this new idea with immense enthu- siasm. She carries it out surprisingly well, too. Very nearly everything she does has military twist to 1t. and she has the cleverness to put just a little of her own personality into each movement or speech, so that the effect is piquant, graceful and odd.
 Thus, with bound the military girl has sprung into fashion. One of her ways is the temporary abolition of the kss-so far as other girls are concerned Meeting her dearest friend, she salutes in true army way. She does not grab her or re- mark, You dear thingi" The arms of both girls are raised promptly to their hats and then showed out with a quick movement Then they are dropped to their sides, and stay there.
 The walk of the military girl is marked by a firm step forward, a rather longer step than usual. and the shoulders are held well back, the head steadily up with the eyes looking straight forward, and the chest is thrown well out This new tyne of girl when she turns swings around cieanly on her heels, for all the world like genuine army man.
 The new military conversation, or, rather, the host of military phrases heard these days is exceedingly interesting. A girl returns from some shopping expedi- ton. Before the war was started she would have said very simply: "I'Il go up and tell mother about it." Now her phrase is, ''Fll go and give the countersfgn to mother Or, telling sister to say such and such to her father, she will say. Re port to headquarters"
 Advance into the other room is the proper way to put it now, and instead of speaking of going up or down stairs, you should say, if you would be really in

 K L. M.-The reasons for your close-fttini sleeve twisting on your arm may be quit numerous.

 Before l give the recipes promised last Sunday, let me say that there are two kinds of freckles-summer or "sun freckles" and winter or "cold freckles." The first are ephemeral, the second chronic. If the recipe given in last Sun days Call was not satisfactory, and glycerine, I know, does not agree with all skins-then try the following:
 Fresh lemon juice.
 Rosewater.
 Rectified spirit.

Keep out of the sun, girls, If you are afflicted in this way, or else wear a chiffon veil when counting its rays.
 The other variety; known as "cold freckles,'' come from disordered health or some disturbance of the natural func- tions of the skin and are less easy to deal with.
 Now, then, girls. how many of you take daily sponge bath? There is nothing I can prescribe that will assist you so ma terially in the attainment of fine com Liexion as baths. and plenty of them. They are the greatest cosmetic in the world.

 You must, in order to maintain perfect health without which no one can be beautiful, keep the pores of the skin thoroughly clean. This cannot be accom- plished by an occasional scrub, but must

 AS to the temperature of the bath, nc one-not even oQe's physician-can pre- scribe; it should be governed entirely bI the constitution of the individual.
 Cold plunge baths as a rule can bt taken only by the most vigorous. They should never be indulged in unless fol' lowed by rush of blood to the surface For a person of delicate physique tt take cold baths would mean certain sui eide, and physicians say that the shoeH plunge has been the cause of many case of heart disease.

 As to the face, apply water as seldom as possible. How, then, can l keep i; clean? l hear you ask.
 By cleansing it with good cold cream to be sure, such as I gave you recipe fol last week. Rub this thoroughly into tn, skin with the tips of the fingers until tht skin has absorbed all that it will.
