the motions must be gentle, for harsh

1t is surprising TO see how easily the
skin can be injured when once il has lost
its sprightliness. Its surface resembles
only TO be touched in order to be bruised
None but the trained fingers Of a facial
artist should manipulate a skin whose
SURFACE is spoiled by neglect.
The passing Of an electric battery over
the skin will sometimes wake it up and
comes the hot water application and then
the massage with very soft cold cream.
The final process is that OF Tightening.
A bit OF ice is wrapped in a clean piece
OF linen and is quickly rubbed over the
skin, II convenient a bath spray of
cold water can be turned on the skin. or
the patient can fill her hands with cold
water and rub her face vigorously.
In treating a loose skin it must always
be remembered that the pores are open
and hungry. Therefore after the face
has been washed in hot water there must
be some cold cream applied, and finally
to keep the face from looking oily there
must be a dash of cold water. This treat
ment has made many a baggy skin look
young again and has restored the appear
ance of youth to "a c~ountenance that had
lost its outline.
mere are beauty CulturlstS VINO say
that it is through hair dressing, and hair
dressing alone. that ilnperfections of the
chin and neck can be hidden. The saliva
ton OF the woman with a loose skin is the
little dangling curl. She must have not
one curl but a dozen, and she must arrange
them at the sides Of her couture 20 that
they conceal what should be hidden.
The woman whoses checks are sagging
can hide them under the dangling curls OF
a century ago. Six little curls the size
OF the smallest finger can he pinned to
the side Of the couture in such a manner
that they will dance over the ears and just
touch the neck.
The cheeks are partly hidden in the
shadow OF the curls. II tine cheeks are
plump and pretty, 80 much the more allur-
ing; II hollow and old their lack of pretti-
ness is concealed, Dancing curls have
helped many an unattraot face.
When skin hays the important thing is
to build IL up and make it firm. but
meanwhile it is equally important to con-

The princess frocks-which does not
At all mean the straight unbroken line
frocks once monopolizing that name
but takes in all the dainty little one piece
affairs predominant this in
the main exceedingly girlish in character.
There are. to be sure. innumerable frock
models OF weird and complicated con-
struction quite outside the limits OF the
chic simplicity which should be h char
acteristic Of the girls wardrobe; but
there are also models galore which seem
to have been designed especially for the
girl in her late teens. though her elders
have adopted them.
The linens. pongees and cotton tufts
are made up into delightfully."- youthful
one piece frocks. The fine serge are
used for warmer models quite AZ delight
full. The straight loose long coats OF the
popular street costumes are particularly
adapted to the slender. undeveloped
youthful figure, though the ecc~entricities
which mark some of these coats must be
avoided and only the simple d
adapted to the girls use.
ASH for evening frocks-but much Of what
has beep said about graduating frocks
on the opposite page applies to the girls
evening frocks, with added freedom Of
coloring and lowered effects.
The three little frocks pictured here
represent smart and practical types which
may be developed in various materials.

initial expense OF such "a. combination
Is considerable, but the advantages ar,
many. In white serge or light lined pom
gee the skirt always soils before tht
coat, and the separate skirt will save
the more expensive and less easily
cleaned princess wonderfully.

micelli pattern nets dyed to match the
linen Is a very good substitute for braided
not. Sometimes the braided net is brought
down to form a front skirt panel. as in
the model illustrated here, but more often
the skirt is simple and is made entirely
of the linen.
An attractive bodice for a frock of this
type has a foundation, of net dyed TO
match the linen. and on this net are set
at inch intervals narrow stitched straps
of tho linen, running vertically from a
soutached neck finish to the short waist
line. The body Of the bodice and the sleeves
are made in this way, the straps running
horizontally around the sleeves, and the
only trimming is the contracted band
around the neck and narrower soutaching
at the wrist. A collar and shallow guimpe
are Of white.
Dutch neck effects Of all kinds are used
on the linen frocks, the girlish fiat collars
of embroidered lingerie or linen and
Of heavy lace making a good finish
for the more severely plain linen
models and often supplying the only
relieving light touch on one of the
dark toned heavy linens. A touch OF
black in collar, cravat or girdle is a re.
lief for eolored linen or pongee.
There are many cotton cloths closely
approximating linen in weight and finish
this season. and racquet cloth. knicker-
booker cloth and similar cottons are much
used for princess frocks on lines similar
TO those described in connection with
mems. Chambrays, a trife lighter and
cooler than linen or ever than Bingham,
come in delectable colors. the range of
soft bufs and family brownish yellows
being especially lovely.
The yellow tones are beautiful Too in
the linens and exceedingly popular though
the soft dull blues and rose tones are
more girlish.
Striped and checked cottons are made
up on the prevailing princess lines but
with the utmost simplicity. and are most
s~erviceable morning frooks, particularly
in the ginghams of good quality. which
stand admirably the ravages of laun-
dering. A gingham Of white ground

this season; and either in dark blue or in
white such u frock will be found useful
fo- the cooler days Of summer and for
seaside and mountain wear
A remarkably trig little Francis model
in serge which has been much copied
both in white and in blue has n bodice
with Dutch neck finished by a round
collar OF real Irish lace. The origina,
model was in white with jet buttons down
the front of the short bodice, and this
bodice was caught down in rounded
white soutached tabs over a black patent
leather belt which fastened with a big
jet buckle.
The skirt. rising a little above the nor
NAL waist line to meet the black belt. was
very simple. with groups of inset plaits
held down by tabs like those Of the bod
ice. A collarless Goa was fastened with
one big jet button and was finished at
the neck by fine s%outlching.

pose, as it sprays the skin evenly without
chilling it too much.
The hot water treatment is repeated SC
that the skin is alternately heated and
cooled. but the hot applications are left
upon the face only five minutes.
At the end Of this process the patient
takes a lump Of good cold cream in her
fin gers and begins to massage it into the
hot skin. The cream melts at once and
begins to sink into the pores. II the pores
are sufficiently open the cream will all
disappear in a few minutes. leaving the
skin warm, pink and plump.
The rotary motion is the best for ruiz
bling the cream into the skin. The fingers
must move around in a circle which each
time grows smaller and smaller in circum-
ference until finally the tips OF the fingers
concentrate upon a wrinkle or fold Of skin
which proves particularly obstinate.
This rotary treatment with as much cold
cream as the skin will absorb not only
plumps out the skin but makes it young
in appearance by taking away all the tiny
creases which form in the complexion
as the weight is reduced.
Reducing your weight makes your face
look old, so you hear folks say; but II
Is because they do not know how to iced
the skin as the flesh is being taken of.
The skin ought to be able to adapt itself
almost at once TO the new conditions.
There are skins that are all baggy to
begin with. They have been neglected
until they sag. For such a skin there
must be a gentle feeding treatment.
The tissues are flabby and they must be
stimulated.
The beginning OF all things is the hot
water treatment. Hot fannels must be
laid upon the face. throat and neck and
over the hot flannel there must he spread
layers OF linen or folds OF tow cling. In
ten minutes these "A he taken of and the
skin is ready for the feeding. .
The feeding material consists OF cold
cream thinned by the addition of good
almond oil or some other good
substance. The cream is
placed in a cup, which is set in a bowl Of
water.
When the cream is thin as milk the
fingers are dipped into il and IL Is spread
Upon the face. The rotary motion is
best for getting the cream into the skin.

The face Of an uneasy sleeper has a

A physician on being asked to prescribe
for W rinkles in the face said this:
Madam, your wrinkles are caused by
uneasy sleep. You are in the habit OF

eyelids. The first rays Of the rising sun

Then the physician explained to the
woman that a dark shade would protect

morning and he advised her to have her
