 A physician advises that you Keep your head out of the sun during the summer" The sun has many healing properties, but when it is hot the danger of heat-exhaustion and sun. stroke is too great to take aBy chances. Then, too, exposure to the hot sun is injurious to the hair. The hot sun rays burn the hair and mako it rough It becomes dry and lifeless and you will soon notice varying shades in your tresses, the effect of which is not at all pretty. So follow the doctors advice and keep your head covered on hot days.

THOR those who are exposed to the
 hot rays of the sun and who
 dislike to be sunburned or tanned, a large, floppy brimmed hat will be found indispensable.> These hats can be purchased for very little. More than being cool and inexpensive they can be made very attractive by an abundant or simple trimming of flowers, which are not too costly.
 It would be well in selecting the flowers to choose those Of neutral color so that the hat can be worn with any kind of frock or sport suit.
 For hat of this sort there are various ways of arranging the trim ming. If flowers of the larger species gre to be used, the trimmings will have to be very simple in order to be smart. One large flower placed flat on the brim will prove very effective. Small flowers covering the entire crown, a wreath around the base of the crown, or spray of flowers left free at the top to sway to the side of the hat will form q more elaborate type of trimming
