very worst thing that can happen To the
skin 1t penetrates the remote depths of

The woman who is off ON her vacation

OF bleaching and working with the skin
to remove sunburn effectively and it

What can be done to prevent sunburn
and freckles?" I asked.
THE generous use OF cold cream" said
Mrs. Dennerle, .and liquid Npowder will

the only liquid powder that is absolutely

enamel on the face and hands protects
them as nothing else will do. | have
| known many women right here in Bir-
mingham who have gone on an automobile
trip in the hottest part of the summer
| from here to New York, and have used
| this preparation, with quantities of cold
cream, and have never added one freckle
to their skin nor an inch of sunburn. This
| is an ounce of prevention that will 60 as

J course, exposure in the water (the glare

shore is acknowledged to be worse on the
skin than any place in the world

"Chapped hands and chapped face"
said Mrs Dennerle, "caused from the cold
winds, can be easily cured by lotions and
cold creams, because the trouble doesn't
go very deep, but with sunburn and

very roots of the skin and makes such
inroads upon 1t that it takes forever to

tion to their skin, hair and nails, until
il is too late. They go on In the same old
humdrum life, taking no thought of the

and gray hairs, they become panicy and

II think the summer trip is usually
very hard one on good loolks,''sI remarked.
You never get enough sleep, and scarce

summer resort and you never have time
to take care of yourself even If you are

rSarah Bernhardt said on her recent
! trip to America, and it ought TO have some

age of 10. that four hours sleep was sur

wanted refreshing il wasn't necessary to
browse off into a deep sleep, but to change
their regular regime, and do something
refreshing and divertins." said Mrs. Dem
merle. 81 can't say that | quite agree with
| her. however, for sleep certainly does
wonders toward keeping women fresh and

she ought TO take particular care of her
complexion and hair. She may be sure
if she doesn't do so that she'll have a
