coat of tan depends somewhat on the pigment Of
your skin. However, the best way to acquire the
desired tan without danger or discomfort is to go
at it gradually. keeping out of the hot sun during
the middle of the day in summer time.
IF you would develop tan, begin with five to
ten minutes daily before 10 o'clock or after 81
Dr. Walton advises. Increase the time Of exposure
daily by five to ten minutes, and in a week, in
most cases, light tan without burning will have
appeared. When this occurs, danger of subsequent
burning is slight and the suns healthful rays may
be utilized freely
The desired tan can not be acquired in one
heroic attempt so many seem to think. Exposure
to the hottest sun for several hours the first day
results in painful burn which blisters the skin
it peels of and the process must be started over
again On the even more sensitive new skin.

And at the end, it seems to me. it
was worse than ridiculous that he

The story is slightly incohererE
here, and do not think Conrad
is to blame.
In two incidents the picture
scales the heights. There Is a

Is another when the heroine goes
