To Keep Young and Attractive.

To Keep Young and Attractive.
Summer is beauty's trying time, says
Lillian Young. 1t takes art to be beau
tiful when the mercury is climbing
high and to persist in sweet amiability,
which keeps one young and attractive,
when the sun seems bent upon burn
ing one to a crisp. The summer girl,
however, manages 1t.
In fact, ii is because she does man
age it so successfully that she is
summer girl" the one who walks
away with all the beaus and Is at once
the envy and delight OF the women
with whom she comes in contact. But
let me tell you that. besides being real
art, being Il summer girl entails real
work one must be the acme of tidi-
ness, yet always suggest having hus-
tied through ones toilet, and one must
be, as already intimated, cheerful and
healthful Hooks and eyes must be al
ways in place on clothes, and there
should be plenty of them.
Needless to say, there must be num-
bers of pretty frocks, for the summer
girl is on parade all the time, day and
evening. The frocks need not be ex-
pensive, but they must be distinctive
and appropriate for the moment. Com
monplaces have no part with the sum-
mer girl. Frills, collars, handkerchiefs
everything Of the sort must be i'm
maculate In short, absolute cleanli-
ness and perfect goWning to the least
detail are the first of the summer girls
laws unto herself. No matter how in
souciant, how ready for anything, how
fancy she seems, she is never frowsy
or messy looking.
Her complexion she is careful Of,
although no one knows it except by its
inevitable freshness, which could be
only through care and attention. No
matter how sleepy she is after the
dance at night or the stroll in the
moonlight. she anoints her face, neck
and arms with cleansing cream, al
lowing it TO remain on while she takes
down her hair and plaits it loosely in
two braids. Then the cleansing cream
is removed with a soft cloth, the face
doused with very hot water and skin

is still wet Only the mildest of skin
foods and creams are used, preferably
those in which there is neither glycerin
nor any other strong astringent. for
summer suns and winds tend to make
the skin tender, and any but the most
soothing lotions will increase that tend
ency rather than have any healing
effect.
The hands are kept thoroughly wash
ed, scrubbed with the flesh brush and
pumiced, if need be, partially dried
and then vaseline should be rubbed
briskly in and large gloves drawn on

followed by dousing Of cold water,
which closes them. Then there Is a

the hands are washed with soap and

sally forth for the day.
While she exercises a-plenty, golfing.
