THE NEW STYLE
BATHING CAPS

INITIATE the shape of the headgear
of the peasant girl of any country
having native garb il you wish your
summers bathing cap to be ultra
smart. 1t is going to be the fad to look
picturesque when in the surf, and nat
urally this effect must be mainly pro-
vided by the cap.
If you firmly decline to let your locks
get wet you may have a Normandy cap
of fiuted white silk trimmed with big
bow of ribbon matching the shade of
your suit and beach cloak. or you may
have the Russian peasant girls cap
unless you prefer the Norway woman's
headdress or the equally elaborate one
worn by the maiden of Holland. The
shape of these caps perfectly suits the
Teutonic type of beauty, but they do
not accord we'll with Latin features.
and for girls of that strain of blood
there is no prettier model in bathing
caps than the italian kerchief of bril-
liantly striped wash silk or the turban
of the masculine Turk, which is also a
large handkerchief.
If you will adopt the cap of the Irish
peasant woman of mature years you
may dive recklessly. for this perfectly
protects the hair when made up in silk
rubber cut in circular shape and edged
with q fiuted frill which stands away
becomingly from the head and the face

THE SLEEPING CAR ROBE

A SLEEPING car robe 1t is-but such
a sleeping car robel No woman
who sees it will ever again wear silk
kimono or shapeless black india silk
garment happily in a Pullman car.
This new robe is of the uncrushable
jewel silk, lovely in coloring. 1t is
made all in one piece. buttoning
straight down the 'front.' the skirt shir-
red a little into the waist band, the
blouse eased in a trif1e also. This
waist band is a two or three inch elias
tic run through a soft corded puff of
the silk and giving comfortably with
every breath, though holding the frock
in snugly. There is a little soft collar Of
white silk. with a coquettish cravat.
The sleeves are loose and just below
the elbow-wide and open at the bot
tom, as are many of the new sleeves.
The frock is trim and smart enough to
be worn even on the street or for trav-
cling IL one chooses to do it. yet abso-
lutely comfortable and as easily slip
ped on and off as a dressing gown.
Remembering the appalling appari-
tions appearing in the women's dress
ing rooms and aisles of every Pullman
car, one feels inclined to wish that this
new sleeping car costume might be re-
quired by law of all feminine travellers
but, alas. it is too expensive for the

A Beauty Hint For the
Young Girl

IF you are young girl and your face
is marred by pimples do not be
worried. They are not the sign of bad
blood or anything else. On growing
girls hairs are coming through the
skin. It is an invisible down, but new
ertheless it is the cause of skin erup-
lions often up to twenty years of age.
Plenty of water taken into the body
will give you in time a glorious COM
plexion. Tea. coffee, soft drinks"
etc, injure your chances for a clear
and attractive skin So Will a diet of
pies, doughnuts and pickles.
Never squeeze pimple. If you do 1t
1t is liable to cause much harm, for.
remember, pimples are only inflamed
spots, and bruising them makes them
worse and may bring on a skin affec-
ton known as acne This latter skin
affection is difficult matter to cure.
Wash the face night and morning in
warm water and pure soap. Don't use
a highly scented soap. After this dash
cold water over the face IL you are GO
ing out into the cold air Then be pa
tient--your reward will be well worth
it. You cannot hurry nature In her
processes of development.
