that arms should he white and round

their low cut collars diaphanous fab
RIGS and short sleeves.
Late in the summer, when the sun
is especially hot. tan and freckles are
hard to combat. yet if care is taken
| they may be kept in check.
Most girls like the low blouse, and
if one has Il neck that is at all present
, able this season she is showing it.
When girl possesses beautiful
skin and we'll covered bones there is no
reason why she should hide such
charms when the weather Is suit
able On the other hand. the girl
! whose "saltcellars" are noticeable and
whose skin is not as smooth as it
ought to be should never draw peo-
pies attention to the fact. There Is no
need to cover oneself with thick cloth
ing. The filmieSt ninon or double chif-
fon or lace may be used for the pur-
pose Of hiding the protruding bones
and will still leave one cool in the hot
test weather.
Even the shape Of the blouse need
! not be altered at all. the Nv" can still
be as pronounced as before, and If
chiffon Is used the coveted bare ap.
pearance may still be preserved.
The plump girl is undoubtedly the
fortunate girl ut the present time. Her
thin sister may. however. do a great
deal to improve her appearance by at

First she must spend at least five
minutes night and morning in mas

the neck, chest and arms.
Massage the neck and chest with
any good massage cream or with olive
oil after having bathed them thor
oughly with very warm water. This
opens the pores and makes them more
susceptible to the treatment
Secondly, she must exercise her neck
by turning her head slowly from side
to side, then forward and backward,
repeating from five to ten times each
way. every night and every morning.
Breathing exercises are excellent for
strengthening and broadening the
chest.
The woman who freckles should not
wash her face In hot water or use soap
In the morning. Hot water and soap
should be used to thoroughly cleanse
the skin ut night. but for the morning
ablutions milk and water should be
employed. Half pint Of milk to a
wash hand basin Of lukewarm water
will be the correct proportions. After
washing a lotion such as glycerin and
rosewater should be rubbed over the
entire face and neck.

A fact which is often forgotten by
many women Is that hot winds burn
the face quite as much as the actual
rays Of the sun. In fact, this form of
sunburn. or. to be exact. windburn, is
far more difficult to deal with, as It
tends to make the skin peel. Now.
