balmler dayS-why we tire more
easily than we did in the Summer,
and why faint lines under the eyes
add a year or two to our appear
ance.
All the while we are sitting in
! doors our loyal old friend is beg
ing US to come out and bask under
the warmth Of his love. There are
days, of course, when he fails to
make himself known to us, but
more likely than not this Is only
for short periods.
On those days when the suS
does shine full-blat overhead, we
still sit indoors because his
warmth il but a reflection of his
Summer glory. But, it is more
vital to our health and beauty that
we court him IN Winter than that
we vie for his favor in the Sum-
mer, for at that season he Is so
strong and 90 vibrant that he
reaches us agen though we do not
20 out Of our way TO meet him.
Scientists tell US that we gain
great vitality from the rays of the
sun. Vitality is the basis Of health
and health l. the foundation Of
beauty. Therefore. without the
| suns rays we would have little vi
tally, less health and practically
no beauty.
All this being true, can we af-
ford to snub our dear friend just
because his love is less warm in
Winter than il Is in Summer? Are
we going to be women that are in
terested emily in "easy beauty"
There isn's any such thing as
"easy beauty" Even those COR
geous creatures that are born
beautiful find as they grow older
that they need 70 care for their
health if they are not to drop back
into the files of moderately attrac-
tive women.
There il no hard and fast rule
for beauty that Is infallible, except
health. Once health is gained and
preserved, a woman Of plain fea-
lures and ordinary manner can
blossom IOrJn INTO an undredmed-
OF beauty and charm by the adop-
ton Of artificial measures.
Take a walk every time the sun
shines. If he fails us today, stay
out a little longer tomorrow. Lift
your face up SO that the rays Of
the sun can reach your skin.
Even the mental benefit gained
from a walk in the open under the
soothing rays Of the sun is effec-
tual in the cultivation of beauty.
Disturbed minds encourage droop-
ing faces, and dropping faces en-
courage lines. But walk in the
sunlight and the weary mood
passes, giving u new courage
and new beauty.
These are important items in
our beauty. Without them we can
never gain true beauty. So take
advantage of DR.. Soils bounty
all the year round and note the
Improvement in your health 'and
beauty.

Practical FrockS Designed
Especially for the Southern
Resorts.

A LII the frocks which one
IN plans on taking to the
"A sunny South are not
necessarily flimsy and sheer.
The wise woman takes along
several practical frocks which
can be worn when the days are
cooler than ordinary. There
fore, we have selected these two
distinctly different models and
present them for your considera-
ton.
Both Of these frocks would
make admirable travelling cos
tunes and they will come in
handy on more than one occasion
during the Southern sojourn.
The frock on the left has dark
blue marocain as its medium of
development. The skirt is cut
in pointed panels set in with in
tricate scanning treatment, which
give a length and grace to the
figure. The blouse is severely
plain, except for the attractive
vestee of pale flesh georgette.
A belt Of blue and black suede
accentuates the high waistline.
With matching accessories this
is, indeed, a charming ensemble,
especially when set off by 4
silver fox scarf.
More utilitarian is the loosely
woven tweed suit at right. In
shades of green and tan, the hin
length jacket Stimulates a bolero
in the inset sleeve treatment.
The standing collar adds q
Jaunty air and calls attention 10
the peasant blouse Of Shantung.
Inset circular flares give needed
fullness to the skirt, which con-
forms to the dictates of fashion
that semi-sports clothes shall
be six inches below the knee. A
green antelope belt confines the
normal waistline Of the Jacket
and q green felt hat and bag
and shoes of green antelope COM
plete a chic costume. However.
brown accessories may be used
with equal effect.
Such frocks as these are an
invaluable addition to the woman
traveller. One may find SO many
uses for them that it is most
unwise to neglect adding one or
more OF these practical garments
to the wardrobe. They have the
advantage of light weight, and
the darker color will stand more
wear than lighter shades. OF
