After our pleasant and instruc- tive walk through the park, Sally sat in a comfortable chair on my penthouse verandah, e fl g through my book, 'The Art of Feminine Beauty" while I gave a few necessary instructions to my French cook. I was expecting one other guest to my little informal dinner. I had merely told Sally that I was awaiting charming young friend, and that I was sure Sally would like her. She was French and was visiting America with her husband, busy diplo- mat.

Your bathing suit may be a be witching yellow, or a gay red scar let that would make alf the mer- maids at the bottom of the deep blue sea grow envi0us, but If you have rough. knotty places on your elbows and your knees. you needn't try to quality as bathing beauty. You will be judged out.
 When the sun shines down on your legs and arms, every blemish lis so clear that you might as well have spotlight focused on yoii The thing to do is to banish them.
 Cleanliness comes first, of course. Nothing is more helpful than warm water and plenty of pure soap. Rough cloths or bath brushes will break down the de- fense that clogged pores are put ting up, and give your skin chance to breathe. A shower. taken with cold water, just before you go down to the beach to get into the swim, will make your skin glow with healthy color.
 Drink plenty of water, too. This will give the impurities that are clogging your skin a chance to be carried away in precipitation. But you must relieve your body of this material by washing it away.
 There are certain grains and mealy mixtures that are excellent for wearing away the rough skin that centers on elbows and knees. Make a paste of the grains, work it into the places which require it, and you will be delighted with the smoothness that will result.
 If the hair on your legs Is too thick or too rough, don't let that keep you out of the water. Re- move it by some safe method.
 Don't worry about getting your face wet, for fear the red, red roses will leave your cheeks and your lips will look as though they have turned purple in the cool, green water. Waterproof cheek and lip rouge is obtainable now. It imparts glowing, healthy color. Everyone will think tha: the water is bringing out your natural beauty, instead of wonder ing why it carries away your ar tificial charms.
 Watch your hair, especially II you are bathing in seaside places Salt water should be kept away from it. Wear a bathing cap that is close fitting enough to be pro- tective, without binding your head and ears too closely.
 If you feel that you are free and relaxed and lovely you will swim 1 just twice as far when you make your seaside plunge.

YOUR CHILDREN By Olive Roberts Barton
@IeS2 eY NEA SERVICE lkAc.

Mothers Can Only Do Their Best.
 A young mother complained to me recently about many things.
 Tt is very discouraging to bring up babies these days" she said. My goodness! Every time i forget to fill an empty. bottle on the instant with cold water. or the lid is off the. nipple, or the baby grabs something that isn't steri- lized and puts it into his mouth. I feel like a criminal" ~. And she went on to mention another article of mine about old CT babies in which I advised put ting everything possible out of reach. Also another in which had suggested that the dishes out of which little people eat their meals be scalded or boiled once a day. alarm. "I hope I haven't given several thousand women the blues, mot even the palest shade of baby blues I was merely trying to in- form them about standards. There has to be a standard for every thing You know, starting point, something to work from. or toward"
 "Then you don't expect mothers to live up to the letter?'
 How can they if they do their own work and take care of their own babies? did 1t, l know how many steps there are in day, how arms have to fly, and brains have to plan.
 .'But there is no harm in know ing how things should be done if the children are to stay as well as they should. To do everything every day in every way perfectly, keep a home going, and everybody happy, it would talk several peO. pie, including an experienced nurse."
 "I am so relieved!" she sighed. "I really do the best I can. try so hard to have the baby's things just right and little Roy's things, too. don't slip up often, but it does happen sometimes. just as i said"
 It Pays to be Conscientious
 "Any mother that is as conscien- tious as you are, my dear. will have healthy babies. These sugges- tions and rules of mine are not in- tended to discourage such as you. But you, see there are so many young mothers starting from scratch who have not the, least idea f how to- safeguard little begin ner and it is better to let them know about certain things.
 q mentioned putting things away because had very sad ex- perience one time myself when l was a young mother about some thing I had not put out of sight. It was too sad for me even to tell you about it now.
 And I advised scalding or boil ing the childlren's dishes and to keep them apart. because one of the most severe cases of intestinal infection one of my babies ever had was transmitted. know, from her father, who was in bed at the time with the same intestinal in- lection. Some dish or spoon had gotten through and had not been scalded clean.
 "But don't worry-iust do the best you can. It is all any of us can do. When we know a few things. however, it should be a help, not a hindrance."

Girls Who Go Down To The

By JOAN SAVOY fNEA Service Writerl

ANY day will be holiday if you go down to n the sea in the newest, gayest pajamas. There is something colorful and sparkling about them that makes you relax at the same time that you take new interest in the pass ing show by the waters edge.
 For chic combined with comfort, there is a pair of bright red knitted pajamas which are cut and fitted around the top like bathing suit. The red gives way to blue knitted wool in the middle of the bust, and the cooler color runs up and over the shoulder. The legs are

 Two-piece striped jerseys, worn by the girl who is standing, add alively note to any fash ion group. The stripes are red, yellow, black and white. A large bow is sewn in place right in the center of the front, at the Waistline.

Half past four came. Then five. The gray motorcar was waiting in the square. and from time to time the chauffeur sounded his horn. Carla was dancing with agitation up and down the corridor. If May got Martin, then she, Carla, would gol for two years to England. She had quite decided that. People didn't die of broken heart. Ger tafnly not. But neither did they sit by and watch others eat a beef steak while they themselves were starving.
 It was nearly half past five when Martin came to the end of his dis course. He was in a precipitation by that time. His forehead, his neck, were moist. May was still standing by the door, as alert and untirable as guardsman. Tat was smoking his third cigar. He paused for re- fection when Martin came to an end.
 My! dear Heil," he said then, with his most businesslike air, II understand nothing of these matt ters. It may be a good. thing or 1t may be moonshine. You may be telling me the truth or you may nto. You may be right or you may be4wrong. In any case, one can't inhabit castles in the air. But I'll make you an offer. Give me your plans, and will see what there is in them and what can be made of them. In the first place 1t must go to the patent office. Then we shall know more about it."
 That's all been Lhne," said Mar tin not without pride. That's what I'm waiting for. The whole thing turns on that. I've got a man see- ing to it."
 "A man :? Who?"
 "A patent agent. It's all in his hands. He will soon fix it up."
 All in his hands? What do you mean by all?"
 'AThe whole thing. The invention and the figures and all the rest of it."

 "Yes, of course. But what should I need copies for? It's all in my head said Martin unsuspecting- ly. May, at the door, made a move an exclamation.

 s'Oh, no! The agent Moller re- commended all required money in advance; they were all big pots, far too expensive for man In my pO- sition. My fellow is a young man, not much older than am myself. A very decent fellow and very en- terprisfng. He'll soon put 1t through"

 "The latest? We'll, you know, that's some time ago, The last thing he wrote was that must have patience and that they were very slow at the patent office. Then he went to America, and I have heard nothing for some time. But he is very ,enterprising-"

The aristOcratic looking Count Czcreney had been moving about leaving a string of unpaid hotel bills. Finally he and Anfka were located, the count was arrested, and Anika fled to Martins bathing cabin living quarters during a storm. Carla, who also loved Martin, listened to his explanations when sch and May surprised Anilxa in Martins cabin, and helped Anika to es. cape in the LyssenhOp autOmO- bIle. May refused to see Martin for three days, but there was . fearful reconciliation when her father, whom she called Tat, de- cided suddenly to leave. He had been hoodwinked Anika and the count, had lent them money, and was uncomfortable before the other hotel guests. At Mays suggestion Martin spoke to her father about their engagement and Lyssenhop became interest. ed in Martins invention.

Fortunately, the problem has, to a
great extent, been solved by modern
developments in road materials and
new engineering practices. BY using

store confidence in quality. Merchants
must forget the idea that in order to
sell goods they must lower prices by
lowering quality to meet competition.
They must reawake to the fact that
quality remains one of the strongest
sales appeals. I believe the man who
neglects to feature some nigh-grade
shoes, or any other commodity, is
making a grave error. A dollar
ninety-five cent sale ceases to be a
sale when everybody is sponsoring one.
However, II you think values are

taken. l firmly believe the farmer
