To Keep Young and Attractive.

10 NGCR IOdUA ano -
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, 1t is because she does a
age 1t so successfully that she Is a
summer GIRL the one who walks
away with all the beaus and is at once
the envy and delight of the ONE
with whom she comes in contact. But
let me tell you that, besides being real
art, being a summer girl entails real
work. One must be the acme of tidi-
ness, yet always suggest having hus-
tied through ones toilet, and n 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. Conn
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 into 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 1t except by its
inevitable freshness, which could be
only through car 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 q cleansing cream, al
lowing 1t to remain on while she takes
down her hair and plaits 1t loosely In
two braids. Then the cleansing cream
is removed with a soft cloth, the face
doused with very hot water and a skin
food rubbed gently in while the face
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 a~stringent, 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.
oh, yes, and she doesn't neglect her
elbows. They are properly pumiced
and cleansed also.
In the morning the face is washed
in hot water, which opens the pores.
followed by a dousing of cold water,
which closes them. Then there is a
busting powder to protect the skin;
the hands are washed with soap and
water, rinsed in lukewarm water, not
hot; busted with the protecting pow
der, and the summer girl Is ready to
sally forth for the day.
While she exercises a-plenty, golfing,
playing tennis, walking, she rarely
allows herself to be overfatigued-the
summer girl-and she insists, in spite
of everything. upon having a tiny nap
every day, even If 1t be only for TWEEN
ty minutes.
