study the art Of keeping beauti.
full despite the heat.
In fact even extreme heat isn't
q real obstacle to good looks IL
we take 1t calmly and endure 1t
sensibly.
This 10 shown by the fact that
those who are lucky enough to
make summertime plAytime,
reach the highest point of health
and good looks through the out
door run and restfulness OF our
vacations.
And there Is really no reason
why any city-dweller should grow
weak and pallid with heat II she
knows how to preserve her
health and loneliness.
First of all, would humbly
suggest that she take the heat
calmly, quietly, without nervous
irrtability. Nothing is gained by
becoming wrought up over the in
creased temperature. Everything
il to be gained by remaining
cool mentally.
Next 1 would suggest that she
proceed by every sensible means
to adapt herself to the weather.
Wear the thinnest of clothing
and not one superfluous article
Of apparel. Choose thin, wash
able materials. Keep on hand
frocks of pongee, linen or the
thinnest of summer silks and
cottons. This ned not mean a
great deal of expense, for simple
little frocks are easily made at
home. Don't wear wooden suits
and stiff materials on hot days.
Adopt short sleeves, moderate

Eat light, fresh food. such e.

consumption OF the heavier

or cut them out altogether. Pull
your bed out where it will get the

cold water. 1t cannot hurt you.
Strange to say, hot water in the
morning Is also cooling and

Above all, do not neglect to

To allow yourself to grow lazy
