THILE it is not the most
w esthetc theme IN the world to
w discuss, still the troubles due
20 perspiration are common enough,
accentuated in warm weather, and
consequently require discussion.
To get right down to it. generally
speaking the delicacy OF the subject
lies in its being due more often than
not to carclessness about personal
hygiene. Sometimes, to be sure, ex-
eessive perspiration is due to run
down nervous condition which re-
auires medical treatment or a good
ionic.
Where the trouble is present, how
ever, excessive care about personal
hygiene is required, because if this
Is neglected an unpleasant odor is
given forth with the perspiration.
A body not batLcd frequently
enough, carelessness about under
wear, about dress shields, about
stockings, and about airing clothes
will offend with an unpleasant odor.
Heavy sachets and perfumes will
only make matters worse.
Get the Daily Bath Habit.
The first remedy is excessive and
scrupulous cleanliness. People with
The daily bath habit react psychologi-
eally to a particularness about
matters of dress. 1t is an almost
impossible feat TO put on soiled
underwear and stockings where the
daily bath is an established habit.
Even though it requires little extra
washing at night TO augment the
supply. the clean and wholesome
girl will have them.
The morning cold shower and the
evening warm bath are required in
summertime, even more than at any
other season. Clean stockings every
day, and fresh underwear, too.
Shields are worn day after day by
some women, even seasons
length. without being washed and
they, hold an odor of pcrspiration
which is exaggerated and repeated
after each wearing. 1t is simple
matter to wash them. There are tiny
safety pins on the market quite in
expensive, to save the sewing i'll OF
the shields after each washing.
Wooden and silk dresses, which
have once become infected with a
pcrsplraticn odor must be se1: to a

Many are not themselves COR

stive about it. So, when in doubt,

or not. And be careful in the matter

Just tip that many girls and
women are not familiar wiz: DIR.
| William Lee Howard says:
AT certain times girls vii, have
more or less of an odor from their
skins and breaths. 1t is extremely
noticeable in some, and in others of
the more careful cleanliness and
habits it will be detected. Perfumery
only makes matters worse; the at
tempt to cover the natural odoI IS
too marked. These odors are all
caused by acids and other chemical
materials which exist in the natural
secretions of the body; the perspira-
ton. breath and other secret!ons.
The less water there IS in the hui
man system the more will these
chemical odors pervade the
atmosphere surrounding the girl. II
is lack of plenty of water that causes
the skin to give forth odors. II yor
have exercised to the extent OF bring
ing on profuse perspiration AMI have
not drunk plenty of water before
during. and after exercise. no amoun
OF bathing will prevent an odor from
coming from the skin.
IF you are going out to dane
or any place where you will be in ;
warm room, you will be unable tc
disguise the chemical odors coming
from the skin. But il you have flllet
YOUR system with water two or thre
hours before going out. your ski
will have a natural delicious odor
You can so saturate your system
with pure water that all these fatt.
acid odors become highly diluted
and scarcely any of them will max
