Beauty Recipes for Picnic Girls

strips of rag with it. The fluid keeps
the curl in for several days, often u

And now the matter next in import
ance-the compleXion-for in these days
of magnificent heads the beauty of the
hair comes before that OF the couIIe-
nance even.
The first chapter in the book for the
skins treatment begins with the words
soap and water. 1t Is impossible TO
have a skin in a healthy condition and
! look as it should look without com

dust, which, if left in, becomes the dis

"Pooh!" says some girl here; "every
face can t stand soap and water" True,

weekly complete bath. Every part OF
| the body must get used to regime
/ and the skin of the face is especially
/ sensitive to the unusual thing. But
when it is once habituated to the
wholesome scrub it will pant and gasp
/ so to speak, like a fish out OF water

out it.
/ Let me take this sensitive skin into
! consideration. Prepare the way for the

rubbing this well into the pores and re-

is admirable for this purpose. and if the
castaway garment is Of silk, all the
better. The cream takes oil the hrst

When the skin has become sturdier,

SOAP the market affords and wash the

Granted now that the face which
would be bright and blooming all day

found benefcial-with warm and chill

very little cold cream if you would
avoid tan and freckles and have your
complexion stay on.
1t is a good idea, too, to arrange for d
beauty outfit when planning for the
day. for then roses and lilies may be
renewed at odd moments. A little book
of powder leaves is the most convenient
way of carrying this embellisher; and
if a little rosiness is imperative, put
it on with a light hand. One end of
little rag smeared with rouge may
decently summon a blush without the
scandal of the whole pot
Wrap all the beautihers in an old
handkerchief-this for the makeup
rag-and put them in corner OF the
handbag YOU mean to take to the pic
mic, together with small mirror, d
comb and some extra hairpins.
Some little refurnishing of the picnic
