Sun Bathing
Clears Oily
Complexion
Rays Should Be Used
While Avoiding Too
Long Exposure.
BY LOIS LEEDS.

NuDIsM seems to be gaining in
= popularity, but there isn't the re-
motest chance of It's being adopted
widely by the fair sex because it runs
counter the age-old feminine instinct
of self -adornment. 1t may be okay
from the health standpoint, but 1t
causes too many beauty problems!
Necklace swim suits are the nearest
approach to it that fashion Is sane.

Exposing the skin for long periods.
to sun and wind ruins its texture and
clarity, 80 be moderate II you indulge
In sun bathing this Summer. There Is
q right and wrong way to use the pow
erful, life-giving rays of the sun to
promote beauty and health. II your
primary object is to improve an
anemic or rundown condition, Of
course, the effects Of sun baths on your
skin should not deter you from taking
large but controlled doses Of sunshine.
But If your aim Is to improve or at
least preserve your good looks, beware
OF too long exposure to the actinic rays.
Why Is too much sun and wind bad
for the skin? Because they dry up
the natural oily secretionS which are
intended to keep 1t young and smooth.
The resulting dryness has no beauty
and encourages wrinkles. What Is
more, the interstitial Inside the It's
sues) irritation set up by undue ex-
posure to Summer weather conditions
causes q hardening and thickening OF
the skin. This gives the typical
weather beaten appearance that out
door people have. Besides the perma-
nent Ill effects Of too much sunshine,
there Is the temporary pain and dis
comfort caused by severe sunburn or
sun poisoning.
But don't get the impression that
sun bathing is not q wonderful beauty
aid when correctly used. The greatest
local advantage from 1t Is the In
creased circulation under the skin that
causes Q slight redness. A similar
effect is produced by the use OF So
called circulation creams, flesh brushes
ard pumice stonessfor sallow. blem-
ished compilations. Massage or exer-
else also owe most of their cosmetic
value to stimulation Of the blood.
Whether the circulation is stimulated
chemically or mechanically, the tissues
are nourished by the increased blood
supply when the stimulation Is prop
erly controlled.
While too much sunshine makes the
skin excessively dry and harsh. the
right amount will correct the excessive
oiliness that 20 many girls complain
Of. Blackheads, enlarged pores and
pimples are usually associated with
oiliness, so that when the sebaceous
glands are reduced to normal activity
the skin blemishes are easily removed
and do not reappear If correct local
cleansing methods are followed. Some
girls do not realize that blackheads
and pimples must be removed indi-
vidually with antiseptic precautions.
It is the sterilizing and drying action
Of the sun that Is helpful In curing
acne, but this does not take the place
Of thorough cleansing treatments. .
A weekly sun bath will do much
toward refining q coarse, oily skin.
Expose the skin until it is slightly red
dened-about an hour for the average
skin-no longer. When you are out In
the hot sun at other times protect your
skin with an anti-sunburn Oil ~

town at surprisingly little money.
and would love to show you the
sort Of things I am specializing in.
Some other time perhaps you'll come

those whom you know less well, sign
them. Sincerely, Jane Allen"
Dear Mrs. Post: have been as

w NA1sANGAss
TT is really surprising how many
perfectly delightful accessories
to the bath are available In the
1 shops these days to make bathing
a joy to you in every way. First there
are the very definite helps toward the
atractiveness Of the bath room itself,
the most important Of which is
probably the vanity. This little piece
of de luxe furniture may be made en-
tirely of mirror glass or may better
suit your fancy in the pastel enamels
with pivot mirrors. either one or triple,
many Of which have novel lighting
directly under the mirror, or at each
side, just where you need it most for
satisfactory makeup. These come
with narrow, small sized tops like the
one shown above. or in more generous
and more expensive designs. You can
spend as much as you wish in fitting
out your bath, and you can carry out
any pet color scheme that you may
favor. Everything seems to have been
thought Of and worked out for your
comfort and enjoyment.
The three-bar chromium towel racks
are enormously convenient, for they
will hold your bath mat. and a whole
supply of just the kind of towels you
like best. They are in three different
designs and prices. The white MORE
shower curtain with individual mono
gram to match your color scheme is
a smart contribution to the perfect
bath room, and you may have it in
colors. too. Bath mats and rugs are
initiated also to match your towels.
THE Dutch-blue bath ensemble we
found particularly attractive. The
towels are all blue, both the turkish
and the linen ones, although the linen
towels have white borders, and the
smaller ones are white with diagonal
sections of blue. The blue vanity has
bottles with blue dots and stripes and
the mat on which the vanity stands
is blocked of in squares Of blue with
white lines. and q border Of pink and
darker blue to give interesting con-
trast.
Black. white and red is a stun
ming bath room combination and you
may find everything to work out this
scheme most effectively. The red-and-
white towels are smart with their
stripes through the center and it all
has a delightfully."- vivid, brilliant note.
To mention q few Of the modern
helps to perfect baths, there is the
shower hood. pictured in the lower left
corner "a rather peculiar-loQking
thing, suggestive Of Turkish harem.
1t Is quite an ingenious invention Of
oiled silk with transparent shield over
the eyes, which may be set lightly
over the head to protect your hair
while in the shower, without having
to bind it down tightly under a cap
and disarrange q newly set wave. 1t
keeps the water completely out of the
eyes and ears. Of course. and comes
in several colors. It Is well worth the
dollar that 1t costs In its quick con-
venience.

Is a wealth of various combinations
to choose from. The important thing
to remember Is that fruit. to be at rs
best, must be thoroughly chilled and
daintily served. Lukewarm cherries,
and shapeless hunks OF watermelon,
are never very enticing. to say the
least!
Kirsch is o never failing source Of
added delicate flavor to any fruit.
Cognac Is fine for tlavoring when
used with certain combinations. and
sherry is good when chopped mint is
included III the set-up. Maraschino
Is another liqueur flavor that blends
we'll with a fruit mixture, and some
of the plain fruit sirups, such as rasp-
berry or pineapple. may be used with
other fruits to give variation Of flavor
I have seen creme de menthe used
with diced pineapple and strawber-
r.es. but, personally, I am not so in
favor of tit tends to destroy the
delicate taste Of the fruit itseh.
For q large party-perhaps a buffet
supper for II or II persons-try
this one:
Order from the market one-half of
a thoroughly chilled watermelon. and
have it delivered about an hour or
so before the party. Scoop out the
pink meat and cut of the bottom of
the shell . bit so that it will sit nat
on a platter Cut the edge Of the
shell in points or scallcps. and then
pop 1t into your refrigerator. Now
cut the pink meat into balls, with a
potato scoop, and place them in q
glass bowl with balls Of honeydew
melon. cantaloupe and peaches. Zone
honeydew, three cantaloupes and
about six peaches should do) Sprinkle
these well with lemon juice, to keep
them firm, and prevent their turning
brown. Add one pound stoned big,
black cherries, and ore-half pound
seeded, peeled grapes. Peel and dice
one small. fresh pineapple and add
the bits to the mixture Sprinkle .
little powdered sugar over ADJUST
enough TO start the juice, and then
pour over the mixture two wineglasses
of Kirsch. CHERRY brandy. Set in
the icebox to become very cold-pack
in ice if necessary. When ready to
serve turn the fruit mixture into the
watermelon shell. surround the bot
tom with vine leaves and set sprigs
OF mint all around the top edge. Serve
direct from the shell. The green
melon will be frosty ano cold and is
beautiful to look at when done in this

Yv WIEN Summer comes all the
world hastens to get into
wv something as cool and
smart as the dress in to-
days illustration. There must be a
good many of them in your wardrobe,
for they must be as fresh as the dew,
and you, or your laundress must see
that they are spotless and ready to
meet new, sunshiny day.
Haven't YOU seen the novice in the
sewing art poring over complicated
patterns. looking worrtedly at scraps
Of tissue paper that seemingly have
no meaning? Well, this dress is es-
pecially designed for the beginner,
and there are many of them these
days, when materials are so tempt
ing and the price of a frock an in
hnitesimal amount. The design is
made from three marvelously simple
pieces and by no stretch Of the imagi-
nation could be dificult for the most
inexperienced person to put together.
Furthermore, 1t will fit and bellies its
simplicity Of construction-and what
more can you want?
The skirt has pleats at the side
seams. as you see. and the blouse is
q very simple affair, depending on the
cunningly cut sleeves for its chic. Note
those sleeves well; they form two big
scallops, in front and back, and there
is a button poised on the top scallop,
on either side of the front-for no
particular reason except that but
ton looks particularly well at that
point.
Perhaps you are weary of hearing
OF linen, but it's no use, for you will
hear OF 1t till the leaves turn. For
without q doubt linen is supreme
among the materials Of this season.

Dorothy Dix Says
Girls Who Have Adaptability, Good
Nature, and Unvarying Tact.

4 GROUP Of young women ask
~ me what it takes for girl to
~ be popular with boys. That
u question Is hard nut to
crack. since women are purely a mat
ter Of taste with men and the thing
that appeals to one man in . girl will
leave another cold. There is no set
standard of feminine attractions.
Some men prefer girls who are ANA
cons, others are allured by pocket
Venuses. Some fall for string-bean
figures. others get dithery over May
West curves. Some can see none but
the bold sunflower girl, others pick out
the modest violet SO it goes, and 50
the wedding bells continue to ring
merrily on.
But while a girl would have to be
color to meet every mans fancy, there
are certain standardized attractions
that every femme must have in order
to make . hit with men. and have
dates galore and plenty Of cut-ins at
dances.
TO BE popular, then, . girl must
have, to begin with. . certain
amount of good looks. She does not
need to be Miss America. Indeed,
prettiness Is preferable to beauty, since
beauty rather oyerwhelms boy and
makes him feel that the girl who pos
sesses a superlative amount of pulchri-
tude is not in his class. He cannot
ask goddess to 60 to the motion pic
lures with him, or to partake of q
sandwich in cafeteria after the
show. She would have to be trans
ported about in q $4,000 car and fed
on nectar and ambrosia. AL of which
brings no theater tickets and chocolate
creams to the living picture. a..
Nevertheless, q girl must be easy on
the eyes If . boy Is to enjoy looking at
her. Hence while the homely maiden
may, and generally does, ind one man
with gumption enough to prefer q
noble soul to . good complexion, she
can never hope to be generally popular.
IT TAKES Q knowledge Of how to
I dress and wear her clothes to make
q girl popular, but she mustn't overdo
it. Men want the women they 60 out
with to look smart and well groomed
and up-to-date, but they don't want to
drag around girls who look like peram.

had everything in the family except
