in the saline atmosphere of the bay. Trains
from this city were crowded with the
throng of pleasure seekers, who went with
their fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters
to the beach IN an effort to escape the
sultry weather of the city.
The bathing, fishing and Grabbing at the
beach are daily becoming more popular
with the excursionists. During the after
noon and evening the huge dancing pavil-
lion, built out 100 feet from the shore. was
crowded with those who were anxious to
trip the light fantastic to the inspiring
music of Haleys crack band.
1t is said by the organization that one of
the most successful excursions that the
Shield of Honor has held was given yes

ternity and as many more visitors were
| on hand TO participate in the athletic games
and general good time that was the order
of the day.

OF collars and cuffs made on ecru

threads should be drawn before this

KEEP ATTRAcTIvENEss.
Do Not Drift Into a Mere Domestic
Drudge, Careless Of Looks and
Becoming Clothes.

A woman should not only regard
It as a privilege, but as a duty which
she owes to herself and her associates.
TO make as pleasing a picture of her
self as possible. In order to appear
well, a woman must give some thought
and study to the becomingness and
suitability to her years and to the
wear for which it is intended. Of the
garment she prepares. Women, While
young, are not apt to slight this duty
but as they grow older the majority
OF them drift into indifference. until
almost unconsciously, they acquire
not only careless. but too often SLOW
enly habits Of person and apparel
Often, under a misguided idea Of
economy and lack Of time. a woman
settles down to wearing fn-ftfine
dresses. shabby wraps, rusty hats and
frazzled gloves, while she discards
neckwear as altogether unnecessary
to her toilet; especially do women
gee this habit who stay at home

chain Of domestic drudgery 80 the
husband and children may have the
clothes and the speadsng money ssith
which to enjoy themselves. Anvthins

get to thinking 50, too. Too often
such a woman drifts into habits OF
untidiness which are positively dis
reputable. and o. which she seems Mt
terly unconscious. though they render
her absolutely offensive to the ewes
Of her more wide-awake friends.
This is a woeful mistake. as It robs
her Of her one attraction At a time
when her youth a gradually fading
away. and SIC looks old and spiritiess
and unattractive when she should be
IN her prime. Her friends soon take
her at her own valuation. and. though
they may not Be positively ashamed.
ley certainly are not proud Of her.

ALL ABOUT THE HAIR.
Pinching the Scalp Often VIII Re
store Vitality to the Hair-What
Causes Badness.

In the case Of man early badness
is the result Of too much moisture and
too much hat. A man covers his head
with heavy. stiff-rimmed Derby and
weass it very nearly all the time, first
carefully brushing his hair as hard as
possible and-usually-soaking It to
make 1t smooth. Rightly resenting
such treatment. the follicles let 90 Of
the hair roots. they simply and natu-
rally fall out. and there is no strength
left in the remaining few rootlets to
grow new.
The girl curls and waves her hair
on irons that may be too hot; she
draws it up in an unnatural strain
and pins it with dozens of stif iron
wires. crooked TO keep them in just
as tight as she can; sometimes. many
times. she only attends to her hair
once a day. and it remains in all It's
discomfort during the night as well as
by day.
When fashion says so. she pins
great rolls OF heavy woven stun close
to the head and then pins the hair to
them, creating a false heat that ef-
fectually destroys the hair follicles. In
due course she notes thin spots on
her temples! she sees the life and
gloss gradually depart: she finds gray
hairs by the score and too late real
ICES that her hair is ruined.
AS | have so often said, the condi-
tion Of the general health has a great
deal to do with the condition OF the
hair; it is not always the invalid. how
ever, who notes the change for the
worse in her hair; sometimes a per-
son, apparently in the best of health,
Will lose a head OF kne hair, seem
ingly without cause. Then is the
time TO read the riot aet;" that hair
has been lost by ill-treatment, and
may never be entirely restored. Yet
there is always a chance when a per-
son is we'll and strong; the vitality i'm
parts itself and the hair resumes its
iuxuriance with proper care.
Let us take this first ease because
It Is the easier: Begin at once by
restoring some of the lost vitality; let
the hair hang when possible; let 1t
blow In the wind and get the full rays
OF the sun; give the scalp a chance TO
feel those rays also; leave out the pins
and neither tie nor drag the hair in
any way; clip the ends as short as
possible to permit OF the strength
going into the new hair that is strug-
Cling out, and massage gently as after
as possible also. The movement In
massaging the scalp is not rubbing:
more like pinching with thumb and
fingers far apart, making the skin of
the scalp move on the bone Of the
skull. This is very effective in re-
storing a healthy condition if no tonic
at all is used; indeed where the skin is
at all oily pressure of the fingers is
enough.

FOR A HEALTHY SKIN.
Warm Water Needed to Remove Skins
Excretions, Cold Tonic-About
Sleeping Clothes.

The body breathes through every
pore; Il exhales. throws of fatty acids
and waste materials In the perspira-
ton; and this process OF elimination
is going on constantly in the healthy
body, though we are only conscious
Of 1t when the sweat glands have been
so stimulated by exrcise that they
throw on the heat and moisture faster
than evaporation can carry II of.
Now Il is just as important to keep
the skin IN a healthy state, to excite
its glands TO better activity by gen.
tie friction, to keep every pore open
and free from clogging dirt and dust
as It is to keep the lungs unhampered.
Yes, fresh air and sunshine are as
necessary to the skin as TO the lungs.
Cold water is an excellent tonic. Il
will stimulate by It's tonic effect the
surface circulation. II will make you
feel brighter. stronger and fresher
perhaps, but II will not thoroughly
cleanse the skin.
The pores Of the skin close at tho
first touch Of cold. and this shuts in
the very excretions you desire to re-
move. Hence, ] beg Of you to remem-
Der that the cold sponge should al
ways be preceded by the warm bath.
II you desire to free the skin from ali
excretions
Another important point that. too.
many Of US pay very little attention to
is complete change Of clothing at
night. IL we would sleep well and gain
the greatest benefit from our rest
No piece Of clothing that we have
worn all day is it to sleep in. from a
hygienic standpoint Clothing worn
by day should be well aired BY night
and night clothing should be aired by
day.
Clothing that all day long has alb
sorbed the excretions thrown on BY
the body through the skin Is as unfit
for the body to sleep in as a close. frr.
pure room is for the lungs.

DAME FASHION DEGREES.
What the Lady in the French Capital
Has 10 Say About Skirts and
Little Coats.

Plated skirts, including the ac-
Gordon and sunray plaits, are still
worn In Paris and will be-and are
here and are always graceful. They
seem to be as lasting in fashion as
the ever-present Eton jacket and are
a wise investment for economical
women.
Speaking Of Eton jackets recalls the
fact that long coats save in the fancy
French affairs for formal dressing, are
not being made up at all save for shop
ping, morning wear and travelling.
They are inappropriate to warm wear,
when their greater weight is burden

just over Il. lead, and nearly every
one is made that way. In nearly
every costume for no matter what oc-
casion there is some sort OF jacket
or bolero or coat in effect, II not in
reality.
A decidedly new touch is the drap-
ing Of full sleeves back on the bodice
at their top, so that they seem to be
part Of the corsage drapery rather
than sleeves.
In Paris the short skirts are very
short. while the long ones trail around
the feet in the usual distressing Pari-
sian misunderstanding to the wear
er. l mean, for in the house trailing
skirts are infinitely more graceful and
artistic than the short ones.
One Partisan house is showing a
new ichu effect in the wide lowered
ribbons mentioned above. Some OF
these ribbons are drawn down over
