who makes her dresses nowadays, favors
them also.
Paquin. on the other hand prefers plain
sleeves; he is even making them for very
smart toilettes in guipure and other sorts
of lace and embroidery, unlined. For some
of his silk dresses the plain sleeves are
ornamented with eccentric arabesques in
tiny black gossamer ruchings, SO much
favored as a trimming for color.
masseuse must be great moral
agent / said l was sick. but / was real
hands on my forehead yesterday and told
me to think of pleasant things. says the
Philadelphia Press
When she had finished with her creams
and delicious cologne and paint, sweet
powder; after the electricity had yibrated
through all my tired nerves / swung
back in the long. easy chair and told her
that after such treatment one simply
wanted a rattle and bottle of milk.
1t gives one more the feeling of being
baby in nurses hands than anything
know.
On hot fatiguing day the rest it gives
one cannot be told 1t must be felt to
be coveted.
by the way" i asked her, what do
you really think of sunburn? Shall I let
my face get good tan this summer? Is
it as healthy as most persons claim >
1T is certainly not" she said. without
hesitation. Never make the mistake of
supposing that one can never get too
much of the weather

shore, but keep the face protected When
you hear persons talk ecstatieally over
the virtues of tan for woman's com
plexion don't let their ardor carry you
away.
Every one who knows much of the
skin will tell you as / do. This deep
sunburn is very hard to get off; it is
simply roughened cuticle formed by the
united effect of sun and wind. It GER
tainly does not look dainty or ladylike,
and makes nearly all ones gowns inef-
fective.
"A little tan is always healthy, but that
ugly bronze which many women are af-
| fecting-vneveT.'
What can one do to avoid it?'' asked.
Wear a chiffon veil, keep the parasol
| over ones face; or. if you are faddist,
wear a fetching gingham sunbonnet If
| you are out in the heat of the day.
| "Freckles are harder to prevent than
| this deep tan. There is no ointment that
| permanently cures them if one persists
| in being careless in the summer. 1t
means a tedious process of massage and
| electricity in the fall
zone thing observe. Use as little water
as possible upon the face. Substitute
cream. A good skin cream rubbed into
the face at night and morning. then
wiped off at once with a soft towel and a
bit of rice powder puffed over it will do
more toward preventing an ugly summer
| skin than anything else
| Nearly all water at the seashore
roughens the skin; this, added to the
more apparent damages by wind and sun,
/ complete skin which does not give a
| pleasant prospect for the coming winter" :"
What the masseuse told me I hand on
to you. for her advice is always good.
So
The principal novelty this year is in the
| different weaves of straw that are used
| in the construction of the hats. The soft
satin-finished braid is used in all kinds of
| hats. Some of the weaves are open work;
| others are quite close together. says
| t'Harper's Bazar.' There are even many
| in what used to be called Neapolitan
straw, very fine weave that looks like
| horse hair, and often black and white are
! put together in these Neapolitan straw
hats, in which there is an exquisite shade
of a very pale gray. Using these different
weaves and straw by the yard. the millin-
! ers are able to secure a much better and
more distinctive style for their individual
customers. The hats, so to speak, can be
| built to suit the head. OF course this is
not novelty, but has been done for the
| last two or three years; but the straw IT.
self is different this year
| One very odd and exceedingly effective
hat is made of a pale lemon-color straw
with an inside satin finish The crown
| of the hat is shaped somewhat like a
toque. AT the back is an enormous double
bow. the straw tied just as ribbon would
be tied Back of the bow of straw are
quantities of shaded tea-roses, and the
! whole hat is yelled in yellow tulle 1t is
indescribably soft in coloring and gen.
eral effect
Bright red hats are no longer fashion
able and there are very few purple ones
| seen: but all conceivable shades of green
| and blue are greatly in evidence On the
blue hats there are trimmings of different
shades of blue, SO that there will be the
| deepest navy-blue and the 1ightest tur-
| quoise with all the intervening shades.
