lis The Original In Dress That
Appeals This Season

Indeed, II would be impossible to de-
scribe the hundreds of different drap-
ings and the many contrasts in fabrics
which render the work of the copyist
an impossible task this season.
With all these styles to choose from
any woman can gown herself in an
original fashion, secure in the feeling
that her dress will not have double"
The yachting costume of the season
is the only exception to the rule OF
originality that prevails in fashiondom.
1t consists, as usual. of an ankle length
skirt Of white duck, serge or wool and
mohair mixture and very jaunty dou-
BILE breasted coat of dark blue cloth
worn over a white blouse open at the
neck. Many women wear the regula-
ton yachting cap with a viSored front

to few of the feminine sex.

THE BEAUTY CORNER ;
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,

THOUGH vacation days are hailed
with delight by womankind in gen.
eral the thought of the journey to the
resort selected at the seashore, lake or
mountains is not one of great pleasure.
Travelling is the bugaboo of the aver
age woman. She is uncomfortable in
the cars, her personal appearance suf-
fers from the journey, and. all in all.
she disiikcs the preliminaries to the
summer vacation.
OF course she should not think OF
travelling without a jar of cold cream.
BY rubbing a tiny dab of cream into
her checks and powdering them over
she can protect her complexion during
the ride. At night battle the face care
fully in warm water and a bland soap,
seeing TO it that the face is very clean.
for the health of the skin depends upon
open pores. II the skin becomes grimy
during the day cleanse it by lightly
wiping it with cold cream, but do not
battle it except at night and morning.
1t is really the hair that makes wo-
| men look most untidy when travelling.
| Leaning against the back of the seats
rUbs loose all the short hairs, and even
/ the prettiest Of women looks unattrac-
4 tive when her hair is hanging about
/ her face in detected strands. There
/ fore the careful woman carries with
her several large hair nets and wears
one every day. fitting it over the low
coils at the back Of the neck so that
no loose hairs can escape.
The dust and cinders which get into
the hair when travelling are very in.
! furious to the hair, and it is needless
| to caution you to shampoo your head
as soon as you reach your destination.

Hot Weather Tips

DURING hot weather the feet are al
ways likely 10 swell and grow
little tender. This is very unpleasant
and painful, but II can easily be avoid
ed IL a certain amount OF care is taken.
The feet should always be washed
night and morning with warm water
They should be dried very thoroughly
and afterward busted with a little
powdered oatmeal. which will help TO
remove any dampness between the
toes.
II your feet are tender after a long
walk IL is a good plan TO soak them in
vinegar and water. Make the water
as hot as you can possibly bear II and
put in a tablespoonful OF vinegar to
each pint. Sit with your feet in the
basin till the water grows almost cold,
then dry and powder as directed above.
The same pair Of stockings should
never be worn on two following days.
and. II possible. the shoes should also
be changed daily. Shoes and stock
ings when not in wear should be left
In draft so that they may be thor
oughly well aired and dried.
The complexion needs special care
during the hot days too. Those who
are troubled with skin which tends
20 grow shiny will find it a good plan

The rind should be thrown away every

place.

face when you are very hot Half al

adjustment in n nation which has
grown through immigration.
Real progress, particularly in dis
tinguishing between the various types
of exceptional children, is reported by
DIR. GroszmaEn. He considers the great
lesson of the year to be the need for
intelligent, united effort on the part of
educators. medical men, social workers,
charity organizations. welfare socie-
ties, juvenile courts and other agencies
that have been active in the endeavor
TO remedy early neglect of exceptional
conditions. His point is that each of
these separate agencies is doing COM
mendable work. but that they must
now join forces.

THE very children who need special
attention and who may become burdens

for their education, special training
and custody upon the good will of their

need legislation which would establish
the right of the commonwealth to di-
rect the education and training of
every child and which would secure to
the state and municipality an authority
