EXCELLENT FOR TENDER SKIN
Victim Of sunburn viii Find Relief
In This Preparation, Which Is a
Home Remedy.

A preparation that will suit most
tender skins or skin that has been
sunburned is made by mixing togeth-
er four ounces of pure almond meal,
an ounce Of powdered orris, two
ounces of powdered CASTLE soap, one
half drachm oil of bergamot, four
drops OF bitter almond oil and a quar-
ter of a drachm OF extract of musk.
Only tepid water should be used on
the skin and after wetting it rub IN
some of the above preparation in
stead Of using soap, using the hands
to make the application because a
wash cloth usually causes friction and
this, added to a sunburned skin,
would make it sore and tender. More
water is used and the skin is cleansed
with the hands and finally rinsed sew
eral times and with old soft towels
patted dry, Then a mere suspicion
of cold cream is massaged into the
skin and so left for the night.
Any girl or woman who will be
careful to protect her skin and care
for 1t as just described even though
1t is naturally of a dry texture will
not burn or tan nearly as quickly as
will the girl with the oily skin. One
would think that a girl with oily skin
would not burn as readily as the girl
with the dry skin on account of sufi-
cient oily moisture, but nevertheless
1t has often been proven that she
burns even more quickly. Why this
is so Is because of the difference in
the skin tissues.

For the Rose lar.

The following mixture has kept its
fragrance for twenty years: Gather
the rose petals on a sunny day, in the
morning, The common, sweet-scented
varieties are best. Let stand in a
cool place for two hours, toss them
and put into a bowl or covered dish in
layers. Sprinkle each layer with salt.
Keep adding to these until you have
enough stock" Into a large glass
jar place two ounces Of crushed Gin
namon; then put in the stock, which
has been shaken up every morning
for two weeks. When all Is in the
jar, let stand for eight weeks, Gov
cred, 1t is now ready for the perma-
nent jar. Add two ounces of lavender
flowers and one ounce of shredded
(not powdered) orris root. Mix well,
put into rose jar in alternate layers
with the rose stock and a few drops
of oil Of roses. Over this pour a
wine glass of good cologne, and from
time to time add fresh lavender flow
ers and rose petals.

BETTER THAN ANY COSMETIC
Combination of Repose and ReIaxa.
tion Is the Only Beauty Secret
That Is Worth Knowing.

There is a beauty secret, not found
in cosmetics, and which does not lin
ger in the perfume-laden hangings of
the parlor of the masseuse. 1t is a
secret which any woman can possess,
and its magic effect is almost in
stantly noted. The secret is merely
a combination of repose and relaxa-
tion.
A restful woman always appears to
advantage. There is culture in a re-
pose Of manner that makes itself felt
both at home and in public. There
is a suggestion of reserve intellectual
strength, nor impressive than the
~uneasiness of the woman who feels
that her tongue or her body must be
in motion to let the world know she
is in it.

creams Or lotions can remove. To

Gard ca.ss.

The thin lingerie frock demands a
cardcase of handkerchief linen, en-
b~roidered with a very fine design;
those done in eyelet embroidery are
the most effective. If you do the tiny
flowers and foliage in solid work. pad
the petals first with darning cotton
and cover this with fine ~mercerized
cotton. Scallop the edges, using the
buttonhole stitch, and whipstitch the
sides together.
With the n piece frock or tailored
costume should be carried a card case
of heavy linen. The design is not
so fine on these and can be done with
white or colors.
For instance, If you choose a card
case OF natural colored linen, the de-
sign can be effectively done IN white.
brown or dark blue. There are a few
designs to be worked with the Bull.
garian colors. and these are extreme
ly effective when done in the brilliant
hues on a background of tan linen.

toward the garden. with It's purple and
yellow 1owers. then gazed into the
lofty thicket above her head, where
the high elm spread It's century-old
branches. Agatha, standing Q little
apart and looking at Melanie. was
again struck by some haunting ia
miliarity about her face and figure.
She wondered where she could have

cort you into the house. Sallie says

Agatha, looking at her new friends

was not an unwelcome addition to

perstitious feeling of happiness at the
thought that the old red house. gath

was her possession and her home.

nier some queer old books after lunch
