THE newest in compacts is an
adorable affair, fiat as mans
watch and very thin, with tiny
golden pin dots embossed on
the enameled surface. 1t comes IN
white and the loveliest flower colors
to match your new Summer handbag
or a special frock. 1t is a splendid
suggestion for graduation gift, too,
particularly in gardenia white. 1t
carries loose powder and rouge. The
colors are yellow hydrangea blue, mas
turtium and black. In the sketch
above we believe that the compact
speaks for itself. Furthermore. it
comes in a smart gold and white box.
Next we shall tell you about a new
trick for touching up silver threads
among the gold Hair sticks are not
new by any means, but heretofore
they have been limited to use on
brown hair and black hair. Hair
sticks, as you know, are intended to
touch up the first gray hairs as they
appear or to use between visits to
the hairdresser to have regular tint
ing treatments.
~ This new tinting crayon is dipped in
water and applied along the part, or
wherever it is most needed. It is
said to be perfectly harmless and not
a dye, as it washes OF with the next
shampoo. The new colors are plat
mum blond and golden blond. This
welcome little beauty aid sells for 81.

WITH a holiday scheduled for the
w end of the week, all sorts of plans
are under way for a good time.
Lunches will be packed before break
fast, or maybe the night before, and
everything will be set for an early
start to the country or the beach.
Then the fun will begin. And right
here is where we want to put in a
word of warning. Don't lose sight of
the fact that the May sun is hot and
can do a lot of damage to your skin
in one day while you loll on the
beach in your bathing suit and deter
mine to get your first good dose Of
ultra violet rays. Remember that the
skin is very sensitive after being pro-
tected by your clothing for months
and should get used to sunbaths
gradually.
Ten or fifteen minutes at time Is
sufficient, but of course, on holiday
party all rules are cast aside IN favor
of a good time and making the most
out of a days outing. At least you
should take the precaution Of anoint-
ing yourself thoroughly with good
sunburn cream.
Experiments conducted along the
lines Of protecting the skin with
creams and oils against painful re-
suits from exposure to the sun have
proven very successful, as evidenced
last season when countless prepara-
tions appeared on the market for this
purpose in varying degrees Of efficacy.
The underlying principle is sitting out
the suns short, burning rays so that
they do not penetrate the skin.

THE first sun cresm that has come
to our attention this season Is
one that is said to allow you to toast
yourself to your hearts content in
perfect safety, without fear of painful
burning. You may entirely eliminate
tanning, you may have a light tan, or
you may tan deeply. according to the
amount of cream you apply. This
cream comes In a generous sized
tube, with a trick top that only needs
the pressure of your thumb to open,
instead of pair Of pliers to start the
screw top, and then run the chance
of loosing it In the sand! So remem-
Der your sun cream along with your
sun glasses and then enjoy your Ioli-
day in big way.
Another nice thing to slip into your
beach bag Is q can Of hlac-scented
talcum powder, so true to the fra
GRANGE of the flower. so attractive to
look at, and so thin that it won't
take up much room among your
bathing togs. Talcum powder sprinkled
generously over your body after
swimming viii make it easier to get
into your clothes in q hurry. It keeps
them from sticking II it Is . hot day,
and you find it difficult to get COM
pletely dried OF. And the fragrance
Is unusually delightful and soothing.
