For August Days.

Freckles, sunburn, peeling skin and
excessive perspiration are the four
troubles that make up the bulk of my
correspondence these days. Jumping
the first three, any treatment which
promotes the activity of the skin,
tends to reduce sunburn-hence do
away with a peeling skin--and to
bleach freckles. My advice is to use
plenty of vanishing cream before GO
ing out, and to cover this with thick
coat of powder. using this OH face
neck and hands, too If you go IN
bathing, the water at once washes
this off: in that case, a regular oily
cream is best, and dark parasols to
lounge under when you are on the
beach.
Afterward the old.fashioned mix
ture of one.third glycerine, one-third
rose water and one-third either
lemon or cucumber juice is as good
as any to use on the skin. Follow
at bedtime by a thorough rubbing
with bleaching, oily cold cream.
Protect the hands with cool silk or
cotton suede gloves when you can,
for sunburned hands and wrists are
impossibly ugly. II you sunburn, do
It becomingly--face and neck and
chest and hands and arms too; then,
at least, you won't look streaky in
an evening dress
For excessive perspiration keep
the armpits shaved, using a safety
razor, and wear loose, cool clothes.

but valuable formula: Three ounces

Dust can seep through the crack and
the garments lose their crisp and

a good home,maker instinctively

even though she could not do so

Bureau Drawers.
Or perhaps 1t is the bureau drawers
that are sticking out. not much, but
just a little, enough, however, to give
an untidy appearance to the furni-
ture. Cabinetmakers who do good
jobs are particular to fit drawers so
that they will close TO make an even
front to bureaus, dressers. and in fact
to every piece of furniture IN which
there are drawers. II the furniture
is fine. the grain of the wood has

to add beauty to the pieces, and none
of these things can show to advan-
tage unless the front of the furniture
is kept with an even surface.
Drawers should not be left out the
fraction Of an inch, nor be pushed in
too far. One is as disastrous as the
other to the best appearance of the
furniture.

shade Is not even, or that 1t is up too

tions ITO the conditions under

The mother mosquitoes pass the
