On earth she nobly did her best
Grant her. Jesus, heavenly rest.

Fruit Juice
Beauty Bath
Two Helpful Aids in
Keep Cool" Cam
paign.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

I'VE questioned men and women as
to the drinks they prefer dur
ing the Summer. The answers va
ried, as you might imagine, and all
preferred iced drinks.
Then I asked them what drinks,
warm or cold (not the specific type),
they found had more lasting benefits
quenching and refreshing and all an
swered unanimously in favor of the
warm drinks, not hot, but lukewarn.
The sudden cooling effect Of the cold
drink did not seem to last more than
q feeting second, they said.
You are doubtless consuming more
water and liquids during the Sum-
mer. You should. But avoid the iced
water, iced tea or coffee drinks.
Chilled water Is not so bad as water
with ice in it.
hope you are drinking fruit juices
and plenty of them. particularly the
citrus fruits. They are very good for
you.
And now about bathing. The same
questions asked: Which do you find
more laStingly refreshing during the
hot weather? The votes went to warm
baths.
My favorite combination Is the
bath and beauty treatment. 1t Is
equally revivifying during the VIM
ter and Summer. During the warm
weather it is very soothing and rest
full and makes one feel very refreshed
and alive.
Draw the water warm, tepid tenn
perature. Before stepping into the
tub cleanse face and neck with
cleansing cream, then pat with skin
tonic. Then thin layer of skim
food, and get into the tub. Sit back
for some TO minutes, then scrub
thoroughly with soapsuds and wash
cloth or bath brush. Then rinse
thoroughly. Let fresh water trickle
in-cool, but not cold. Out Of the
tub. blot dry and pat with your favor
ite eau de cologne. Then the cream
is removed from the face and iced
tonic sprayed on, over a thin tissue
or piece of gauze.
If this combination treatment and
bath comes before a dinner, dress
very leisurely. No use working up
heat and discomfort all over again.
Then careful makeup.
The soothing. refreshing effect lasts
for hours and hours. Try it.

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Egocentric.

WHAT is an egocentric? There is
w no good definition. If you were
to define one, your definition would
include almost all persons. Traces
of egocentricity mean the usual. But
it is possible to describe an egocentric
and in that way distinguish him from
the non-egocentric.
The first earmark. or more prop
erly speaking "I-mark, is the ego
centric's propensity to talk about HIM
self. That's something every one has
to do more than once in while. But
the egocenlric is full of opinions
which he Graves to relate. You do not
talk with the egocentric very long be-
fore you have a feeling that you are
being talked at rather than talked to.
When that feeling comes on, you may
be sure you have found an egocentric.
There is another big I-mark Of the
egocentric. He likes prestige, the same
as you do. But this difference: The
egocentric can't be happy without it,
The egocentric harbors the notion
LIldI he Is important. 90 90 you. 90
far as you are concerned, you are the
most important person in the world.
But with the egocertric this feeling
of importance is mixed with a con-
slant fear that it may not be true.
His own doubts urge him to look con-
stantly for proofs that his prestige is
not on the downgrade. And so the
egocentric is always asking you what
you think of his position on this and
that.
The third I-mark Of an egocentric
is this: He never does anything of
importance. He may gain good posi-
ton in the world. Nothing comes OF
it but playing around with trifes.
