IF YOU WOULD HAVE A
BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION

Be very careful what you eat and
drink The average American woman Is
not overcarefuI in matters Of the diet.
The eating Of too much ice cream will
not tend TO improve any skin.
Some women show a strange lack Of
wisdom In their method Of face-washing,
Just Immediately before going out into
the fresh air IS not the best time to
select for face ablutlons. The skin Is
sensitive and tender just after it has
been washed and should not therefore be
Immediately exposed to the air.
Drink plenty Of water. The value of
pure fresh water cannot be too highly
estimated as a factor in the making Of
beauty Steep for eight hours every day
in a well-vcntlated room with the
windows open as far as they will go.
Take a warm bath daily, and use a
bath brush and pure soap. Follow this by
a cold shower. which will give a strength

belongs and not to be beguiled by the
attractions OF fol-lols and fripperies that
are not in keeping with ones own style.
One of the accessories Of dress that is
centuries old, yet that reappears every
season IN very attractive form, is the
ruche. 1t is capable of so many varia-
tions that It can be worn quite generally
and to the plain tailor-made suit 1t 10
often an effective addition. The one
sketched today is a charming affair, a
double ruffle of dark blue taffeta caught
and held in the centre with violets and
roses. with the ruche is hat Of velvet
on which Is set a smart bow OF the taft
fcta, with vlolets and rose In place of
the knot.
A ruche and hat to match are featured
extensively this year. The hat and muff
OF the same material are also offered by
the best shops. The muff pictured Is OF
taffeta, an elaboration of a ruffle motive
that is dainty and attractive in its effect.
The hat that accompanies the muff is
wide-brimmed sailor covered with the
taffeta that makes the muff. A decorative
bow is set at an effective angle and the
hat Is worn tilted to. the degree that is
almost requirement at present with the
cannotier or any hat with a brlm.
The bow is also a feature OF the muff:
and hat and mum show a skill in con-
struction that pronounces them the
dernier cri of fashion.

now to be found in the shops in bewilder-

Each year novelties appear, the thistle

The essentials Of dress, however, come
back to us each season, tricked out In
new bravery that gives them the mere
tricious charm OF novelty to cloak their

To be really smart, however. Is every

Absolute simplicity of dress suits many
women, the general effect of simplicity

THE MAGIC OF
THE MOVIES
The Modern Girl Must Take Care of
Her Eyes and Avoid Overstrainins
Them at Picture Shows

my dear" cried young girl the other
evening to her best girl-friend, II am
simply longing to so with you to the
movies tonight, but I am afraid can
not go. You see, my eyes get so dread
fully sore whenever go there. and when
! come home afterwards they ache for
quite an age. I really don't know what
to do about it, because as You already
know, am just crazy to co.
"Why. Dorothy" replied the other girl.
you should adopt my plan. My eyes
used to get very tired too, through going
so frequently to see moving pictures. So
thought 1t over, and bought these am
ber-colored glasses. I know they do not
look very pretty when they are worn.
but nobody really notices them in the dim
light OF the theatre. 1t does relieve the
strain very greatly, and / do not get
headaches at all now
How curious" said Dorothy, II wonder
why those amber glasses have that effect.
Do you know"
81 think that what hurts the eyes most
Is the violet and ultraviolet rays pro-
Jected by the electric arc light. The
fiickering of the pictures on the screen
Is rather trying, too, but the harmful
ness Of the violet rays can be done away
with by the wearing of these amber
colored glasses They neutralize the hurt
full rays. Do YOU see, DoTothy2'
YES, I DO" said the other, thoughtfully,
"it seems a very good plan. Let's go
right off lust now and get a pair for me,
and then We can go straight ahead to
the moving-picture show"

The advice that had been rendered me

a strange dlsquiet. Yet why should I be

things as envy or jealousy. Yet this in

and sat down to pen a polite and formal
little note.
Just as 1 was sealing the envelope, a

my kind little hostess of the other night

hotly.
Pride, pride. what dreadful thing

to make. My dressmaker is coming to
sew for me tomorrow. and will work for
three days. Your present position at the
office is over tomorrow. l want YOU to
come and stay with me for a while. and
my dressmaker will make you a gown for

agreed to accept her delightful invitation.
