It is an important matter that neck
and shoulders should be pretty and
that arms should be 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 neck that is at all present
able this season she is showing it.
When a girl possesses a beautiful
skin ana 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

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.

chest
The woman who freckles should not
wash her face in hot water or use soar
in the morning Hot water and SOAP
should be used to thoroughly cleanse
the skin at night, but for the morning
abutions milk and water should be
employed. Half a pint of milk to 8

will be the correct proportions After
washing a lotion such as glycerin ard
rosewater should be rubbed over the
entire face and neck
