Desire TO Be Beautiful.
The summer season is the best pos
sible for improving ones complexion,
| although many women are so foolish
as to use It solely for injury to the
| delicate skin. The copious persplra-
tions tends to free the pores and cells
OF foreign particles, and should be as
sisted In every way. and powder
should be used only when social en-
gagements make 1t necessary. as 1t Is
likely to clog the skin.
To prevent sunburn and freckles,
both of which may be Of permanent
injury to the complexion, one should
be careful not TO walk in the open air
without a hat or parasol. Even when
the sun seems shadowed there Is dan
ger. and wind tanning" is quite as
serious as sunburn
In the country it is much more com
Portable to discard the hat as much as
may be, and make the parasol a con-
slant companion. Before going out
the face should be covered with a
pure cold cream, which is to be re-
moved with soft linen cloth, but
should be used with reasonable econ
omy. Powder Is then applied freely,
and the superfiuous rubbed off. This
will do much to prevent sunburn and
freckes.
1t is a good plan to take package
Of borax when going into the country,
as the water is often hard" Either
borax or ammonia will soften it. Some
people seem to think that "if little
Is good, a great deal is better" and
add ammonia to the water in such
quantities that it becomes irritating
to the skin. Too much borax has Il
drying tendency that is equally bad.
1t is well to remember, however, that
the face is not to be bathed directly
after exposure 20 the suns rays or its
reflection upon the water or sandy
beach. Water should not be applied
for some hours after such exposure.
The difficulty of bathing in the sea
without incurrlng sunburn seems in
surmountabie. but much may be done
to prevent 1t by using the same coun-
teracting influence as on other occa-
gions-an application OF cold cream
and n liberal supply of powder, with
al effort to keep the face from con-
tact with the water. Salt water bath
Ing is enjoyable as a diversion and
Eealthful as tonic, but Is not good
as hair dressing or complexion To-
ton. The wise maiden is she who
ioregoes something of the picturesque
ness, refuses to be allured by the sight
Of luxuriant locks drying in. the sun,
and takes her bath with hair protect
ed by an oilskin cap and face shielded
By wide brmmed straw hat. She
may not look so pretty for the few mo-
ments ON the sands, but can chortle
with triumph little later, when she
dresses for dinner and looks fair as a
lily, while the other girls resemble
"ox-eyed daisies, all yellow and
brown"
1t is wise to keep lemons always in

A simple and good lotion for nightly

One of the most important influences
in keeping the complexion pure in
summer Is the diet. Little meat and
pastry should be eaten. Fruits, vege-
tables. fresh fish. chicken and eggs
ought to be the principal food OF the
summer girl. Milk is a useful addi-
tion when it agrees with one, but cof-
fee should be vetoed absolutely, as 1t
tends to make the skin sallow. The
English custom of drinking rather
weak tea for breakfast is a good one,
and may help to explain the proven
bal lilies and roses" of the English
girls complexion.
The care necessary in bathing the
face cannot be insisted upon too
strongly. Soap should be used rarely,
a bran or oatmeal bag serving the
same purpose much better.-New York
