The summer girl in selecting her warfl-
robe invariably makes allowance for the
change which will take place In her skin
after she goes into the country. She starts
, out lily white. but within three days she
becomes sun red maiden, and, by the
middle OF summer she has changed her tone
to nut brown. with a tendency to patches
, that are her brown nor rcd. but some
| thing on The verge Of green. ',g'
| There was once a summer girl who de-
termned that she would keep her skin
creamy. Though never OF a very light
| complexion. she decided that abe would
never be of very dark hue. }Hs"',
| She determined to remain at the betwtSt
and between stage which was her natural
| tone. Her skin was OF the kind which
! people call creamy. which shows ten
dency to deepen into olive at the first
| kiss Of the sun.
This young woman, who was very wise
in her day and generation, took with iier
| for the summer collection Of recipes
fitted for each day and each emergency
For the beating of the sea she had one
remedy and for the beating OF the wind
| she had another ~,
She knew what to do when the sun had
tanned her, and she knew what to do when
she had been sprinkled by the dew ot early
/ morning, and afterward busted with the
dust OF country road. She also know
what to do for her skin when II was simply
weather beaten. all crnkly and ragged
with the elements.
For the deep sea beatings, which are
the most difficult to cure, she had very
nice little remedy. which consisted OF gly-
cerne cut with rose water: and this she
spread upon her face as SOON AZ she came
in from the sea.
She washed her face first with distilled
water, afterward spreading on the ely
cerne and rose water lotion. and then she
darkened the room and took, nap, waking
up quite refreshed in body and skin as
we'll as in spirit.
II you want to use this remedy, and do
not find glycerne IL good thing for your
skin, you can substitute witch hazel for
the glycerine, and follow 1t up with slight
application of benzoinated vaseline. The
result will be just az good though the lotion
is little more troublesome to apply But

Another summer girl who is exceedingly
wise has method which she pursues while
! away on a mountain campaign. II happens
! that this young woman. who il very vigor-
GUS in her outing trips. often exposes her
! face TO the cool mountain air and. with that
| disregard Of the morrow which Ia feature
of the summer girl. follows up this treat.
ment with sudden exposures OF heat and
cold, running from hot camp fire out upon
the cool rocks and back again. forgetting
sudden changes. even though her body
may he benefting by the summers outing.
The result is soon painfully obvious, for
| the mountain maid becomes a. weather
beaten ae a mountain guide, and her skin
red and splotched BY turns. For thi. maid
there il remedy in the shape Of the nightly
! application OF paste which she can make
herself
+; II her skin is chapped and rough and
cold cream and stirring it half and half
with almond oil. Into this she mixes a
! handful Of powdered oatmeal, and this she
/, spreads upon her face. making a sort Of
poultice, though 1t need not be laid on thick
or applied when warm. II this be left
on for half an hour, say while one is pre-
pairing for bed, the skin will be softened
and ready for it's regular nightly bath OF
| cold cream.
The French summer. girl is lesson in
this respect, for she takes An hour or more
to prepare herself for sleep. In the morn
ing she may act the part OF the sluggard
| but at night she makes ready for bed with
a care and even with a precision which
insures a good skin the next day -"

washes her face. taking Of any bit Of make
up, but that is all. Yet she wakens with. q
good clear skin. 80

The American girl, on the other hand,
ia a meat loving creature. and the meats,

a peculiarly red glow which 10 very no.

diet OF fruit and vegetables, cannot lay any

Of the sun and the wind: and. II she rerhtins
Of too dark hue, II Ia her own fault, also,
for not taking the precautions necessa ry
to keep her skin nice.
just as all skins vary a little, Just 20 must
all remedies vary always being adapted
to the skin. There are those who can stand
the full strength OF alcohol applied to the
skin; and these fortunate ones have whip
