SHOULD BE CAREFUL
ON FISHING TRIPS

One of the pleasantest sports Of
summer is fishing, but a maiden who
expects to spend some hours on pier
or a boat must prepare TO meet
beauty destroyers.
The rig of a girl who often goes
fishing and does not burn her COM
plexion is simple but smart.
Plain stocking and high shoes cover
her feet The skirt is short. even a
bit shorter than thecostumes one sees
now in the streets, for she wishes 10
have unimpeded progress when it be-
comes necessary to step over ropes
or swing around a mast.
The skirt material is heavy cloth,
double-faced, plain on the outside and
plaid. on the inside. 1t is heavily
stitched at the bottom. She wears
no underpetticoats, but in their place
bloomers made of china silk. In color
they are dull gray. like the cloth. She
finds this skirt no warmer than a
duck would be with the necessary pet
ticoats beneath, it does not. become
stringy or tumbled. and If wet no harm
Is done.
On her first excursions her blouses
we're Of plain cotton. and she came
home at the end of the day with her
arms and neck burned very red, and
aching Now she has adopted thin
white flannel, with soft embroidered
turnover collar and silk stock.
This, like the shirt, does not be-
come crumpled. and she says she does
not find it appreciably warmer than
thin cotton. In case a cool breeze
springs up she is sufficiently protect
ed: and, best of all. her arms and neck
need not be burned. Taffeta silk Is
equally protective. but wetting hurts
IL, and when soiled It must be cleansed
not washed, as flannel.
Her gloves are made of drilling.
They have no real shape, but there
are four fingers and a thumb place.
and as the coverings are enormously
large they are not warm. The inside
of these gloves is platered with honey,
rendering them more or less water
proof. and giving extra protection to
the skin. They are fixed by turning
wrong side out and spreading them
with knife with honey that has prev
iously been strained. Before putting
her hands into them the girl powders
palms, fingers and backs thickly with
French chalk.
BY far the most difficult part Of the
protection is the face and neck above
the collar line. She does wonders. how
ever. by rubbing in honey, made the
least degrees less thick with a few
drops of glycerin. This is applied be-
fore putting on her waist. that the
throat may be we'll anointed. over this
cold cream is rubbed. and last, tile
whole is powdered.
This groundwork. as II were, will
hold powder easily and more may be
applied through the day as the first
wears off. This makeup is easily re-
moved when necessary by washing in
warm water.
Cold water and soap will cleanse the
hands without difficulty. and this may
be done on shipboard, where warm
water might be lacking.
Z This girl does not go bareheaded, not
only because of her complexion. hut
\ because she knows much sun will dry
the hair undesirably. Her fishing hat
is a soft gray felt. whose wide brim
may be turned down at the back. and
over the eyes. II is trimmed with a
couple Of white wings. and a wide
black elastic not only holds it on, but
serves TO keep back any short hairs
that may escape the thin net that is
worn over the coiffure.
