OF oil from the surface of the skin.
and tanned skin is one that needs
nourishment first OF all, declares Mar
garet Hubbard Aver, in the New York
World.
II the girl who spends her DAYS on
the beach would rub into her skin an
extra supply OF soothing cream in the
morning the sun will have less effect
on 1t and she will suffer no burning
sensation.
Cola cream can be used for this
purpose, or even better this one made

White wax. one ounce.

cut and pounded to a paste and then
strained.
A little Of this is rubbed well into
The skin and what is not absorbed is
wiped of with soft linen. If the face
Is then lightly powdered 1t viii not be
noticeable to the eye and yet Will keep
the skin from burning. After the
cream is washed off in the evening the
washing should always be done with
warm water. II the face is sunburnt
apply the following cooling lotion:
llncture Of benzoin, one-half ounce.
Tincture Of vanilla, two drains.

Where one does not wish to use a
lotion cucumber Juice will be found
soothing. Dip a piece of linen in tne

as possible. The natural arsenic in
the cucumber gives it wonderful
bleaching powers
The above is all for cases OF slight
sunburn. Where the summer girl has
tanned herself to a beautiful but sell
dom becoming golden brown and wish
es to change her color she has 10 resort
to much more heroic methods. The
strong beaches al. contain a certain
proportion Of corrosive sublimate (bi-
chloride Of mercury. When the bleach
is properly made and used as directed
IL Is perfectly harmless and Will keep
the most sensitive skin fair and white
If constantly used. II is always best 20
pour out a little of the fuid-just
dish and use 1t out OF this. Never Jet

A good lotion of this Kind which Will
remove tan and yellow discolorations
Is composed OF ten 81 aims corrosive

hazel and two ounces Of rose water.
This should be kept ont OF the reach
Of ignorant persons and children. A
little Of tnis bleach mopped over The
face whenever the summer girl Is at
her dressing table will keep her COM

What the summer girl breads most
OF all arc freckles-for. do what she
may. once she has allowed the dark
little spots to form on her pretty nose
and forehead. il is the most difficult
thing in the world to get rid of them.

resorted to the face-skinning process
merely To rid themselves Of their too
aflectionate freckles. AS everyone
knows. these discolorations can De

and the slight summer freckles made
to fade away, but the cold weather

The longer a freckle has been allowed
to stay on the face the harder IL is to
get of, and a good way to show them
how unwelconie they are is as follows:
Go through some calisthenics or any
exercise that will induce free prespira-

ide of zinc. half an ounce. Leave this
on all night
The summer girl suffers often from

clothing. For this light rash nothing
is more soothing than the application

dram. Apply whenever necessary.
