Beach Bags,
Robes and
Bath Caps
These Accessories
Should Be in the
Vacation Kit.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.
IN spending a good deal OF time

I'M spending good deal OF time
at the beach this Summer
doing a bit Of snooping caves

to get some first-hand information to
pass on to readers) o.. swapping
stories with neighbors real, drawn
from life" fiashes) . keeping these
eyes and ears open for new fads and
fancies. Ill describe the beach scenes
and stories to you, from time to time,
as best I can. And, should you have
some interesting scenes or experiences
to describe, do pass them on to me.
I'll more than welcome them and know
that other readers will, too.
Today's story is about beach bags,
robes and caps. The bags one sees
everywhere. They are as useful as
they are beautiful and with 50 many
in evidence at this beach resort 1t is
a foregone conclusion that beauty IS
in the bag"
One bag that usually accompanies
a young. attractive woman TO the
beach is made of fine quality heavy
MORE silk. She tells me that it is
especially treated for Vaterproofng,
and can be cleaned inside and out.
1t has Upper closure and it comes
equipped with a sun-burn lotion and
three other essentials as we'll as face
powder.
Another is sun sack, tailored ~
suedette in gay color, lined with
rubber and equipped with sun cream,
tinted talcum, an emollient cream,
skin tonic and face powder.
There's a vacation kit with strap
handle, finished in waterproof fabri-
koid in a delicate turquoise shade. In it
one finds practically every beauty aid
the vacationist needs. 1t can also~

gadgets.
Another in linen is called sun proof
kit and contains in compact form the
basic preparations for beach beauty.
Still another contains essential prep

more expensive with sun-proof cream.

quick treatment and a complete
makeup. Yes, beauty certainly goes
70 the beach in bags, these days.
I heard youngster exclaim,
"Auntie, see this concealed inner
rubber bandit turns upward so
enfolds the hair and prevents water
from seeping up inside the cap.
Really. It's pleasure to swim.
knowing that no matter how wet the
water. your hair will come out quite
dry"
And now to the robes what
beauties! They help to give the
illusion of perfection to the figures
they grace. Long housecoats are in
evidence. But the more popular onesA
seem to be the shorter land personally

Dorothy Dix Says
Here Are Few Tips to Follow if You
Want to be a Welcome Guest.

through them with a heroic smile If
they are the amusements that have
been arranged for you. When you
visit, you pay your way by being
agreeable, and you are a poor sport
if you welsh on the price.
nON'T criticize your hostess house,
furniture and garden. and tell
her she should have pink wallpaper in
the living room instead of green, and
how much better her plants would
look if she shifted them about. Every
woman has right to her own taste in
her Summer home.
Don't f1irt with your hostess hus-
band or son. 1t isn't cricket. Even
female savage should respect the
sponge cake she is eating.
When you travel. wear plain. dark
clothes. Don't try to look like
fashion plate. 1t only shows you are
all dressed up and have nowhere to
60. And don't start Irritation with
any good-looking man you meet on
train or boat. You may be innocent,
but he will never suspect it.
Don't do things in July that you
will hate to remember in December.
The candid camera picture Of you in
a clinch with stranger that some
body snapped was funny at the time,
but it won't be so amusing when you
get back home and the man you are
engaged to gets green-eyed and wants
to know how about it,
Don't let down your back hair and tell
some strange woman all the secrets of
your life just because it is a moon
light night and you feel sentimental.
Maybe she will keep her mouth shut
and maybe she will start scandal. =
Don't take Summer love-making
seriously. It is just part of the fun,
and the man who tells you that he
never loved before and will never love
again doesn't mean 1t and doesn't
expect you to believe 1t.
Make the most Of your vacation,
daughter, but don't abuse 1t. That is
always the secret of having a good
time. DOROTHY DIX.

Wedding
Problems
SOlv e d
Printed Directions Put
in Invitations Would
be Very Helpful.
BY EMILY POST.

Ii A@AVAAAA oSAs
YEAR MRS. POST: This village is
not on the map and for this
reason perhaps the instructions for
reaching here should be inclosed with
the engraved invitations. I believe
the majority Of guests will arrive in
cars, although it is possible that sew
eral families will come by train. The
nearest railway station is eight miles.
How would so many instructions be
combined, and do you think they
should be engraved on a card, as there
would be too many anyway to write
by hand?
AnsWer-f your place is off the
main route. then either little printed
(not engraved) card or directions, or,
even better, section of map, would
be most helpful. But if your place
is on main route which every auto
mobile map shows, it is not necessary
to give further direction. The name
of the station can be engraved at the
lower right-hand corner of the invi-
tation, opposite R. S. V. P.

DEAR MRS. POST: We are going
~ to have dancing at the wedding
reception. AS my fiance does not
dance, am I supposed to stay with
him all the time or may dance with
some Of the others? I don't mind
not dancing, but just wondered how I
could get back to him N I dance at
all.
Answer-It would be quite all right
to dance a moderate amount, taking
short turn with one person and then
another and in between standing next
to your husband. 1t is easy enough to
stop dancing by saying that you want
to 60 back to John.

TOW to look cool when you feel
- hot takes a bit of forethought.
Some people accomplish it
more easily than others, but
the end of Summers day usually
calls for some extra attention to
bring back that look of morning
freshness to tired face. And right
here is where a mask is helpful.
Masks really are invaluable for
whipping the blood back into the
cheeks and removing that weary
look that is not the real YOU
But masks have a hot sound and
many of them have distinctly hot
feel" all of which causes you to
shun the very thought of them dur
ing July and August. There is, how
ever, mask that has been specially
prepared for Summer use 1t is a de-
lightful sea-green foamy cream that
does not harden on the face and is
easily and quickly removed 1t only
takes five minutes to obtain the de-
sired result from this treatment and
it is cool and refreshing to use. You
put it on after you have cleansed the
face and allow it to remain for five
minutes, then remove it with tissues.
You are now ready for your favorite
makeup with a completely refreshed
skin texture.
Try it on your sun-reddened skin
While you are dressing for dinner at
the beach, and change that parched
look to a mellow, golden tan. 1t is
just as good on vacations as for use
in town. This mask has been a IA
vorite with many women for a num-
Der of years. but has recently UNDER
gone further Improvements chem
ically. In order to widen its circle
of friends 1t is being offered this
week at 81 instead of the usual S2.50
for the same generous-si jar. We
thought you would want to know
about 1t.
GUNNER makeup becomes deeper
and roster as the season progresses
The newest one to reach this desk is
called "Cherokee" and is said to be
for smart Summer Indians" It is
definitely not for a pale face. nor
yet for a red skin either, but seems
to be an altogether thrilling new
makeup dedicated to those who take
their tan lightly! Women have
swung away from the deep bronzed
complexion craze, realizing its danger
in coarsened skins, and are now con-
tent with lighter coat of tan with
sparkling, youthful glow that an out
door life is bound to give.

smart. The powder that forms part

My Neighbor Says:

Many lawns can be improved
by another application of fer
tilizer at this season. 1t should
be put on when the grass is dry,
and afterWard thoroughly washed
in with the hose. Sulphur of am
monia, one of the most useful
fertilizers for lawns, is almost
certain to cause severe burning
Of the grass If used in the usual
way In Summer. 1t can be dis
tributed successfully, however,
by means of a new device which
sucks it into the nozzle of the
hose and carries it out with
the water. Diluted in this way,
1t does not burn the grass.

you are about to start on your
y Summer vacation, daughter.
Take these few tips from me 3:

Don't wish yourself on any one as a
guest. Don't hint for invitations. The
United States mail and the telephone
and the telegraph systems are still
working, and any one who desires
your presence will have no difficulty
in informing you Of the fact.
When you 60 to pay visit, 60 when
you are asked and return when the
time limit that has been set for your
stay expires. A weekend invitation
isn't good for a months free board
and lodging. When you once get your
foot in the door of the guest chamber,
don't settle down in it for keeps and
force your hostess to eject you. Move
on under your own power. And, for
Heavens sake, come and 60 on the
trains that have been specified in the
invitation. Welcoming and speeding
the parting guest is chore. anyway,
and 1t becomes an acute pain in the
neck when it has to be repeated
several times before q guest finally
arrives or departs.
X X X X
MAKE yourself as little trouble as
possible. Unless you are visiting
in the home Of millionaire that is
swarming with maids and valets. make
up your own bed, hang up your own
clothes and keep your room tidy.
Servants are always on the verge of
giving notice and quitting in the
Summer time, and they do it if extra
work is put upon them. Wear a
mussed dress rather than ask an over
worked maid to press it out for you,
and keep your hands OIL Of the electric
iron yourself. and your hostess will
rise up and bless your name.
Bring along the things you are going
to need. No guest is such a pest as
the borrower who never has any
stamps or stationery or medicine or 4
sweater or an evening wrap of her
own, and who expects her hostess to
supply her deficiencies.
Don't visit If you are on diet or are
addicted to any special kind of food.
Stay at home where you can get it,
or go to hotel where you can pay
for it.
Be adaptable. Fall in with all Of
your hostess plans. No matter how

The sharp criticism Of local jails
came from Sanford Bates, former
director Of the Federal Bureau of
Prisons, who denounced not only the
condition of many jails but the
methods of operating them.
Some 100000 persons annually,
Bates reported, are herded into local
iails, where sanitary conditions some
times are unhealthy and where polit-
ically appointed sheriffs often make
