difficult to do this as you would think
In the first place. before going forth

likely to get sunburnt, take the precau.
ton TO oil the face with cold cream.
or with pure white vaseline. or. if that
is too sticky. with white vaseline and
almond oil. equal parts. and then use
some good reliable powder. If YOU do
not care for looks, put it on thickIy,

Election of the sun upon Slaring sand
or water. This burns more quickly
than anything else.
The great temptation after the ex-
posture to- the heat and the prubahili.
ties OF sunburn is To wash the face.
Water acts like u mordant To set the
dye of sunburn. The skin that might
have possibly escaped with faint red
ness becomes scarlet and even bills.

still upon il or after just returning

the face gently with some oily prepar-
alton and use powder that is soothing.
