900 two women can possibly hope to
I'M attain good results in personal ap-
q " pearance by following the same
plan. The famous women Of the world
realize this necessity for individual meth
DDS of perfecting themselves. and every
famous woman probably has different
story to tell of the way she cares for her
mind and body from the story Of every
other famous woman.
One present-day actress noted for her
of body and quickness of mind to drinking
quantities of sour milk and taking daily
sponge bath in cold water. salt and alco-
hol Another says that ice applied to the
skin and a glass of hot water slipped
slowly half an hour before breakfast and
another slipped slowly half an hour before
bedtime have transformed her from a
rather plain looking young girl to a pretty
young woman One club woman advo-
Gates plenty of sleep. another talks Of
change Of occupation for recreation and
still another lays stress on the value OF
strenuous exercise as cure-ail.

The famous French beauty. Diana de
Poitiers. used to take an early morning
horseback ride. in the days when women
thought little Of the advantages Of out OF
doors and sunshine. and, laughing at her
ignorant sisters. who depended on paints
and powders. used to say that the dewy
air Of early morning gave her weapons
kind Cleopatra probably had her beauty
recipe perhaps she took daily dip in
the River Nile. or perhaps she lay for a
specified length Of time in the hot
Egyptian sands and concentrated her at
tention on some waving palm tree.
But whatever all these women did or do.
the point is that each OF them did or does
something TO help preserve the gifts and
erdowments which nature and education
and art have given her. And the lesson
from il ali for every woman who wants
to make the best Of herself - >sGt she
must formulate some rule Of living wnici,
will be suited to her individual character
and personality.
health and their looks In three ways--by
eating. by exercising and by bathing. And
it Is each womans duty to find out what
particular course Is the best one for her to
pursue in these three essentials OF right
living.
For one thing. each woman must vary
her diet according to her own needs. For.
tunately. some women need think little OF
what they eat. excepting its appeal e
their appetites, for they have perfect d.

men seem rather hopeless in this re-
spect. though they possibly know their
own business best.
1t does seem strange, however. that
in a city of tropical summer heat like
New York, in the same degree of lati-
tude as Madrid. the men should not
have adopted long since a more suit
able August attire than blue serge and
tan shoes. However, if men persist in
conservatism in this respect. women
make up for it. for no woman in the
world INDUCES in summer clothes to
the same extent as the American wom-
an. We simply revel in summer frocks,
and time cannot wither nor custom
stale their infinite variety.
The women of other nations from
reasons connected with climate, or
economy. may wear silks or thin wool,
but we insist upon our ephemeral ma
terials. and every year produces new
ones for US. This. of course, Is a tat
feta season and we are all wearing it
accordingly. In order to cater to both
parties. We combine 1t with net, lawn,
muslin and organdie in the form of
coIored basques. coates and the sleeve
less jackets. which it is now possible
to buy separately in the department
stores. What are called porch frocks"
are sold in greater variety and in
prettier models for less money in this
country than anywhere else.
1t Is good thing for one of the
try that We so generally adopt the
cotton fabrics for summer year. But
regard we this. as the French say.
Some months ago a violent cotton
crusade to help the south" was in
augurated with great blowing of
how many varied articles were made of
cotton. and endless were the surprises
of finding. for example. that ones
white London ivory" comb was really
made Of cotton. southern cotton.
We were urged to give up linen bed
coverings and take to the less frigid
cotton ones: even the superior light
ness, and washa bleness of cotton
blankets was pointed out to US. Ardent
crusaders implored US to relinauish the
silk petticoats. which widened skirts
had just caused US to adopt, and take
to cotton substitutes. Everybody talk
ed cotton for a few weeks, and then
the whole subject died a natural death,
nothing about the south and care less.

Special Correspondence of The Star.

NEW YORK, July 10. 1915.
q 7IDSUMMER is usually the sig
k\MI nal for changes and modifica-
U\VII lions in the summer fashions.
SVS Spring clothes begin to show
wear, and to demand renewal, and our
tickle minds begin to look for some
thing different. That is, we are sup
posed to begin to do SO. but as a mat
ter of fact. most women would be quite
content to go through the spring and
summer in the same identical styles II
she were allowed to do so.
This year she is going to have the
chance, for when we investigate the
subject in the true research spirit we
md that the reason of these midsum-
mer notifications is not demand for
some new thing on the part of the ma
jority of the wearers, but the fact that
the French race meets have launched
new fashions or turned and twisted
them almost past recognition, and the
news of the novelties has had time to
reach US.
1t may be difficult to believe that
the Paris races settle the clothes of
Kansas City in July. but it Is never
theless an established fact.
Startling innovations are not often
launched at this time, they are re-
served for the August openings later
on. But the elegant wearers Of the
clothes, the real Parisiennes whose
word is the final one. have had time to
adapt the springs ideas to their own
sparkling personalities, to give them
that individual touch which makes
Frenchwoman's costume an expression
Of character. We then are allowed to
see the latest adjustments of the mode,
and we hasten to follow suit.
All that was changed with the gen.
eral order of mobilization last August
The matter of the usual race meets IN
England has been the subject of dis
cussion. but in Paris. as far as l know,
Il was never even discussed. No races
means no change in the seasons &C
cepted styles; and so we may settle
down into full enjoyment OF our hartng
petticoats and many ruffies.
Nothing will disturb the wearing Of
them until next September. when most
of them will be ready in the natural
course of events to go into honorable
retirement OF course there will be
certain amount Of uneasiness. notwith-
standing these assurances Our dress
makers will hint at changes and
prophesy that our present garments
will be shortly out Of style. There
must be some alarmists to stimulate
trade. and goodness knows 1t needs all
the stimulation 1t can get this season.
But never fear. you are safe as you are
until September l, SO possess your soul
in peace. and be as ruffiy as you please,
the frillier the better.
