WHEN TO WASH THE FACE.
Subscriber-How often would you advise
me TO wash my face? / find It looks dirty
very often. but 1 am afraid to injure the
skin by washing 1t too much.
Do not wash the face oftener than twice
q day. In the morning for comfort and at
night to cleanse the skin. During the
day you can use a very soft cold cream
upon 1t.
AVOID THICK COLD CREAM.
Mrs. T.-Cold cream Seems to clog the
pores of the kin 1 cannot use 1t without
having a very oily skin afterwards.
The trouble is that you use 1t too thick.
Cold cream should be. at its name implies,
a cream. 1t should not be much thicker
than cream of milk. Spread It on the face
and wipe off with a soft linen cloth.
TO REMOVE BLACKHEADS.
Cynthia FL remember once that I had
a soft cream spread on my face by a
beauty culturist. 1t remained on a few
minutes and then was wiped of. 1t

ERITTEN FOR H SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
The girl of a generation ago would open
der pretty but lsnguid eyes with aston
ishment did she but know that to-day the
latest expressions of style are TO be found
In the field. on the roads and along the
shores Of river. lake and ocean.
With her It was the shops. all the shops
and nothing but the shops
Her view OF what to wear and how to
wear It was limited by brick walls
To study fashions it was in the city that
she stayed.
These sumIn days the American girl
Is abroad in the land, taking In the fresh
air and i~nvigorating alike her supple mus
Gle and her graceful form.
Whatever her brother does she can do,
and while she does It she Is decidedly pic
turesque and lovely.
1t Is the way she dresses. OF course, that
gives her that inevitable charm, both
eioat and afield.
Wherever she is, and whatever she is
doing, she Is dressing. not only to suit the
sport, but to suit her own Individual self.
It's a little way she has, this typical
American athletic girl. She never loses
sight of the idea that her clothes and her
self must be In perfect harmony.
Perhaps this is why there has never
been before such a variety OF costumes
for the outdoor girl as there il this year.
For instance. there are linen skirt and
coat costumes actually designed for every
type of summer girl.
Some with plain skirts, SOM with plated
skirts, some having loose, short box
coats. other coats for other figures, made
t~hree-quarter length, with tight-ntted
back n serni-fitted sides.
There are coats that are belted and
coats that hang ~loose-those made with
the extreme long-shoulder effect and those
which show the sleeve full at the top, and
the general effect straight at the shoulder
line instead of dropping.
To wear ishin to wear when on on
q. long tramp. and. in fact. <for general
knock-aboutw wear on a summer day, there
is nothing more comfortable, as well as
nothing more fashionable, this year, than
the cool, ea-sy-to-launder linen costume.
The color Of 1t Is all a matter OF tndi-
vidual preference. The natural linen col
or Is about the most practical. but there
are quite as many linen costumes sold
this year In pale blue, yellow, champagne,
green. lavender and white as .hers are in
the natural color.
MANY of these costumes are prettily
trimmed with wash braid or linen laces.
big pearl buttons are also much used in
ehe way of decoration.
A linen costume high in favor with the
sensible outdoor girl just now is made
with an instep-length plated skirt and

Ing leather with an all-white linen or
soielaine shirt-waist costume.
The athletic gill fully appreciates the
Importance of having a smart-looking
travelling costume among her collection of
frocks for outdoor wear.
This costume she buys late in the sea-
son. 1t is the frock which she intends to
wear when she returns from her summe
vacation.
If she is a wise young woman. and It
goes without saying that she Is. she will
select this gown will a view to wearing
it straight through the fall.
II she prefers a loose-ftting coat, she
can find nothing more fashionable than
what is known as the butcher GOAT. which
hangs loose and full and has the back belt

ed in; with this coat will be worn a piait-
ed skirt to match.
1t will be made up In lightweight tweed,
In cheviot and mems suiting. and small
bane buttons will be its only trimming.
Another entirely different style costume
suitable for travelling, and also for fall
wear. IL made with a tight-ftting short
coat and a skirt In which box plaits are
effectively used.
The jacket ends Just over the hip curve.
1t Is made with narrow, loose fronts.

which ~fastens up the front with attractive
buttons. The sleeves are small in both
these eariy fall costumes.

THE CRY OF THE WORKERS.

The babblers in the temple made with hands
Sat talking talking, talking, all the day,
OF rectitude and justice, and the way
The world should walk obeying their commands
And while the glass recorded golden sands,
And shadows heightened in the busy street,
There came sound Of swift determined feet
And blows upon the portals brazen bands,
And then voice. relentless and eate:
I'VE care not for your arguments and creeds,
We care not for your pity your hate,
We clamor not for theories but deeds;
Then give Us of the heart, and not the head,
Then give us for our toll not stones, but bread!"
Herbert Muller Hopkins.
