SHE CARRIES THE RAG.
The Summer Complexion and Its
Help.


Help.
Written for The Evening Star.
The summer girl this year is powder
rag girl She Is more faithful to her pow
der rag than; she Is to her golf club, and
that is saying great deal
All this does not mean that she makes
up" In these days she puts on her peaches
and cream complexion by natural means
outdoor exercise. generous diet of we'll
cooked food and plenty Of cereals and fruit
The powder rag is only a small but impor-
tant accessory in the making of her toilet
It helps to keep her the dainty. sweet.
wholesome girl that she Is.
A powder rag is piece of an old soft
linen NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. a whole hand
kerchief If 1t is small, or a scrap of thin,
soft channels Its every pore is filled with
powder just in the right condition to take
the shine from an over-warm face, but not
enough to spill uncomfortably.
Wherever the summer girl goes there is
always some little corner dedicated to the
mysteries of her toilet-in the restaurant
where she takes her luncheon If she Is in
town, in the shops and in the hotels. There
are innumerabIe small fresh towels, and
with one of these she removes the dust,
whisks out her powder rag. goes over her
face lightly and carefully with 1t, gives a
final pat with the towel and looks as cool
as q cucumber and fresh a daisy
though she may have travelled all the
morning.
The people who cater to the fads and fan
cies of the summer girl, maid and matron.
have tried to ousC the powder rag. They
have brought out the dearest of little pow
der puffs and found the quaintest places to
hide them in. Observe the girl wearing on
her long chain ball of gold silver or gun
metal, and nine chances out of ten 1T will
contain a tiny puff and little round mir
ror Or 1t might be an English walnut shell
of gold or silver made on the same lines,
though the ball has usurped this to some
extent.
If the girl isn't wearing an ornament,
don't be deceived Ask her to unscrew the
fiat round top of her umbrella handle. Or
she has a net-sukfe purse with one of the
same fiat round knobs, and that also holds
her powder puff She may have tiny
ieweled box In the hand bag that she Is sell
dom without, and that might be bonbon
box, but it is more likely to contain another
miniature puff.
But the tiny powder puffs are only pleas
ing because they are pretty. For away
Trombone use the girl clings to her pow
der rag, and here is the secret of where she
usually carries it. 1t must be whispered
at the last minute under the breath. If any
one should chance to surprise the summer
girl making a dive for 1t, she will see a
nutter Of many frilled skirts, and while
she Is wondering If this is a new dancing
step, the summer girl will have tipped the
bit of linen from the top Of her silken
stocking.

For Afternoon Wear

How lovely are the afternoon toilets! 1
mean those suggestive of the hot summer
days Soft gauzes which drape beautifully
are made up with endless little gaugings,
gofferings and tuckings. The skirts are
very much trimmed with founces-in fact,
we may say that the fiounce is revived in
every possible way, and nothing Is pretter
in muslins and such ethereal fabrics, In
conjunction with the Marie Antonette fchu
of priceless old lace, which is another dis
tinguishing feature of the modes of the
hour. Full skirts and bouffant sleeves are
characteristic of this summers muslins.
Here l must add what / am afraid Is not
good news for the amateur who has to buy
her frock by the yard. and that Is that any
quantity of these fiiInSy fabrics may be
used in the construction of reception
gown. AS a dresSmaker expresses it. "Doz-
ems of yards seem to piait into nothing!'
Lots of people have lace frocks that are
really quite good, although they cannot
bring them out again unless reincarnated.
Not long ago l saw very pretty frock
which had been tambour lace robe a girl
was tired of wearing. She had set her wits
to work and inserted two nine-inch or ten
inch strips of delicately printed chiffon "a
mauve and pink flowery effect, one below
and one above the knees on the skirt and
this at once, as the comprehensive Will per-
ceive, by pushing up the skirt gave the
fullness at the back of which the lace skirt
was in the first instance innocent and
which lack was indeed the cause Of its de-
cline in it's owners favor. Then mediating
between and covering over the junction be-
tween the lace and mousseline there was an
applique or guipure. 1t was a very clever
little frock. quite a lesson in economy and
a proof that success In dress need not spell
perpetual expense.
The short skirt is proving itself, helped to
its foothold by adopting the plated build
indeed. the short skirt had to wait till the
advent of the plat before 1t won general
approval. CATHERINE TALBOT.

Simple Touches.
The simplicity of some Of the frocks is
very charming or, rather, let us say. the
apparent simplicity. Still, in the morning
we really may be simple. The newest make
of linen closely resembles hopsack and es-
pecially appeals to me- as it Is soft and
therefore does not crease as easily as the
ordinary makes. A good many tussores and
silks of a like nature are being used. With
a gay-colored waistband and underSkirt, OF
course this grass linen color presents a
much brighter appearance, and 1t is an ex-
cellent and useful shade for travelling or
motoring purposes.
In direct contrast to this there is an abso-
lutte furore for bright tintS, especially in a
soft make of cloth. Scarlet still carries the
day; yellows, pinks and bright blues are
all tremendously in request.
Very beautiful are some OF the ball frockS
of white killed chiffon yelled with jeweled
or spangled lace. By the way, these trans
parencies for evening wear are much In
vogue in Paris; they are generally placed
