POLISH THE SPECS

II I is deplorable to note, as one trav.
els about. how many eyeglasses
need n polishing cloth. People
otherwise well groomed and smart
ly dressed wear glasses sadly in
need of cleaning. Fingermarks show
all around the edge of the lens and
sometimes there are smudges and
spots on the glass directly in front of
the eye, the wcarer twisting his head
sidewise to regard you through clear
place, when thirty seconds use of a
polishing cloth would make the lenses
clear and shining. 1t is the eyeglass
that Is constantly put on and off that
seems to be the neglected one. Peo-
pie who wear glasses continuously
usually keep them spic and span
perhaps because they realize how
much their appearance depends on
the clear, hawless condition of the
glass always before their eyes. For a
few cents package OF prepared
cleaning and polishing paper may be
obtained and one has only to tear of
n leaf and rub the glasses half a min
ute to make them brilliantly clear.

LcghOrns Have Frillcd Silk Crowns.
For wear with dainty frocks at May

hats of leghorn with crowns disguised
under frillings of silk From Lewis
! comes such a hat, pictured on today's
page. The poke shaped brim is quaint
and its quaintness Is emphasized by
the bride" of pink ribbon, picot
edged, which passes under the chin.
The crown is made of pink satin
a long strip, run by hand with deep
tucks. On the hat the tucks are
drawn up into frills the gathered
satin fitting itself to the shape of the
crown. Two pink roses arranged in
natural effect with leaves complete
the trimming. Some of the new flower
trimmed hats are lovely past descrip-
tion. The milliners seem to be wing
with each other in delectable flower
arrangements. Sometimes roses nod
aloft, several inches above the high
crown; again they tumble riotously
over the brim to mingle with the hair.
They may be perched formally on
the edge of the brim, or massed in
clusters against the crown, and they
trail in wreath effect across crown
and brim. on n black straw hat by
earlier are no less than twenty fair
sized pink roses-almost two dozen
roses. think of it! And the hat is
not over large. either. They cover the
crown entirely in mass of pink and

leafy stems high above the hat. One
or two peep over the edge of the up

face must be gone over with pure cold
cream and then bathed in warm water
and soap and rinsed in several waters,
the last one rather cold. The bits of
chamois and lambswool with which
powder and rouge are applied must
also be kept scrupulously clean. If
they are not, CRIME and dust will be
rubbed into the skin each time they
are used.
If the complexion is clear and fine
textured 1t may be induced to show a
pretty natural color, even though or
dinarily rather pallid. The color will
not last long. OF course, but while Il
lasts it will be charming. Care should
be taken, however, not to roughen
or coarsen the skin by too much
pinching and pulling in order to bring
up the color. The tiny blood vessels
under the skin of cheeks and nose are
very delicate, and constant pinching
and stimulating of the complexion
may bring about a result more unbe-
coming than sallowness or pallor.
Alcohol, sprayed on the skin every
night after the careful face bath with
warm water and then cold water. will
help to make the skin firmer and
more youthful in texture. A loose

Then with very little massage

careful to pinch the muscles under
the skin as well as the skin itself.
