The difficulty of bathing in the sea
without mourning sunburn seems in
surmountable, but much may be done
to prevent it by using the same coun-
teracting influences as on other oc-
casions--an application of cold cream
and liberal supply of powder, with an
effort to keep the face from contact
with water. Salt water bathing is en-
joyable as a diversion, and healthful
as tonic, but it is not good as a hair
dressing or complexion lotion. The
wise maiden is she who foregoes some
thing of the picturesqueness refuses
to be allured by the sight of luxuriant
locks drying in the sun, and takes her
bath with hair protected by an oilskin
cap and face shielded by wide brim-
med straw hat. She may not look so
pretty for the few moments on the
sands, but can chortle with triumph a
little later, when she dresses for din

1t is wise to keep lemons always in

rose water, mixed, with the juice of a

One of the most important influences
in keeping the complexion pure in sum-

should be eaten. Fruits, vegetables,

girl Milk is a useful addition when it
agrees with one, but coffee should be
vetoed absolutely, as it tends to make
the skin sallow. The English custom

The care necessary in bathing the
face cannot be insisted upon too
strongly. Soap should be used rarely

purpose much better.
During the nearly forty years of her
life in England says the Ledger
Monthly, the Queen has been instru-
mental, directly or indirectly, in OBJ
tanning subscriptions to philanthropic
and charitable work to the extent of
$3.50 ,O00,0 900. Her sweetness, generosi-
ty, sympathy and thoughtfulness are
proverbial, and are reelected in her
face as they are radiated by her life.
She is deeply religious and is charita-
BILE and careful in her Judgment. rare
ly expressing condemnation of any one.
She loves informality, and is always
to be seen by those in trouble. AS
Princess of Wales she regularly visit
ed the hospitals and made the poor
her special charge.
A story told to illustrate her kindness
of heart is that of an elderly lady-in-
waiting to her mother the late Queen
of Denmark. In one of King Chris
tian's weekly letters to his daughter,
he wrote that the old lady was dying
and that her one last wish was to
speak again to her dear Princess
Alex" At that time it was impossible
for Alexandra to leave England, but
she spoke long, tender message of
love and hope and remembrance into
a photograph and sent II by special
courier to Copenhagen.

the old lady's death. but 1t made her
last hours serenely happy.
In these days when the soul of the
summer girl is anguished and her purse
depleted by the bad laundry work and
high prices of the mountain and sea-
shore laundries, it is pleasure to hear
of someone who does work we'll and
makes money beceaus her patrons are
well pleased. Mrs. Klopf of Atchison,

her deeds one cannot but regret that

Sans-Gene has not been a washwo-
man all her life. When she was girl
she lived in the East. She went West
with her husband and when he died
and left her poor she determined to
make money and be independent. She
sent for her sister, and together they
started in business. In Kansas women
cattle herders and blacksmtihs are not
unusual but the more domestic occu-
pations such as cooking and washing
are usually left to foreigners. The New

known. Mrs. Klopf's neighbors and
friends were much interested in her
venture. and when they saw the fine
work she could do they refrained from
any comments on laundry work as a
profession for women of social position
