Summer Diet
For Skin as
1t Changes
ALiquid Cleanser
Very Beneficial
On Hot Days.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

REFoRE you can care for your skin
intelligently, it IS necessary to
know it. BY that mean. know its
characteristics. know its needs For
titled with this knowledge, if you are
careful in selecting the preparations
to fulfill your requirements and if
you are persistent in the application
OF these preparations your conscience
should be entirely clear land your
skin will probably be clear, too.
However, there are certain changes
in the skins appearance and func-
tions at different seasons and these
changes make matters more difficult.
The majority of skins are more dry
than normal during the winter
months. Cold winds outdoors. drying
heat indoors, sluggish circulation
through indoor inactivity all help to
keep the skin dry But with spring
and summer. with outdoor activity
and warm sunshine the perspiration
and sweat glands quicken in their
action. Natural fabrication is stimu-
lated and surface dryness is less and
less apparent. 1t may not hurt the
skin to continue with winters treat
ment, but if the change is marked
and the oiliness very noticeable the
very creaming that is so necessary in
the winter will only make the skin
more greasy in the summer.
Many women find a change to a
liquid diet quite beneficial. 1 neal
an external liquid diet for the skin.
You may continue to use your same
cleansing cream, but use skin tonic
more lavishly and go over the skin
with ice wrapped in cotton or tissue
following the cleansing. You may
use liquid cleaners more frequently.
Ordinarily such cleaners are a bit
drying to the skin, but in summer
they are godsend Use a lighter
tissue cream if you use any for the
entire face, but do continue to use
an eye cream or heavy tissue cream
around the eyes. And you may find
liquid powder base a particularly
dellghtfuly summer essential. Such
protective bases Uhey serve two pur-
poses-protecting the skin against
sunburn and toning down shine) are
obtainable in shades to match the
skin or the powder. All in all. for that
scrubbed. tubbed. glowing look you
may find change of venue very help
full and beautiful.

Consider All
Angles for
Vacation
List the Essentials
Before Deciding
On Any Place.
By ANGELO PATRI.

WHERE are you going for the sum-
mer? What kind of a place are
you going to select for the family to
spend two and maybe three months
in? 1t is not enough to find q place
that is cheap. where clothes do not
matter. and which Is near enough for
father to visit week ends. Certain
other things have to be- cor,sidered.As
What are the children going to do?
II you have chosen a farm, are the
children to be allowed to work with
the men? Are the farm family the
kind of people who will welcome eager
children into the garden and barn and
field, and give them real work with re-
sponsibility? If they are not. and you
take the children there, you will not
enjoy the summer and the children
will not benefit from their stay.
Is it the shore? What kind OF chill
dren are they to live with? Do you
want to dress your children as those
children are dressed? Do you want
them to spend their days as those chill
dren do? Will your children get on
we'll with the others. or will they quar-
rel over social questions, manners and
methods of play? It is important that
the children fit into the group hap
PLY. Otherwise vacation will be a
nightmare.
How about the social standards? Are
they above or below your own? Either
difference will make you unhappy. 1t
is distressing in the extreme to try
to live beyond your means, spiritual
or material. 1t is a sure way to spoil
a vacation And if the standards are
lower than yours you will suffer in
body and spirit. Vacation should
bring one rest of body and peace of
mind.
Most people find pleasure. in some
one sort of recreation. such as SWIM
ming, golf tennis, boating. hiking. If
the members of the family are di-
vided in interests, this must be con-
sidered. If father loves golf, and there
is none; If mother loves to swim, and
there is no swimming; if the children
love to ride, and there are no horses,
things will not be harmonious. Better
take pencil and paper and set down
the essentials-the must-haves, then
the wishes. Try to consider every
member of the family, but don't give
up because you cannot have 100 per
cent.
These days there are usually enough
opportunities for everybody to enjoy
within reaching distance. Roads are
good and cars are handy. There is
dancing in the good clubs for young
people, swimming in the nearby lake,
or shore: study clubs close by. 1t is
usually possible with little thought
to give each one of the family his
share of fun.
Don't go to a place because it is
stylish. don't 60 to a place because
you might meet social lights, don't
take children where children are not
welcomed. don't agree to take a place
without seeing it first and assuring
yourself Of the facts. Words have
different meanings for different peo-
pie. Go where you can have the most
fun for the least effort, and leave your
prejudices behind you.
Either take the dog and the cat
along, or arrange for their care with
somebody who will take the RESPONSE
bility seriously. Then go and forget
about home and work and duty. Sum-
mer was made for vacationers.

England recipe for them today.
In the meat. poultry and fish line
there is little change. Cold cuts and
ready cooked hams are selling fast,
for warm weather meals; lobster con-
tinues lower than usual in price, and
is a great favprite for salads and cock
tails It is always treat for those
who are lobster fans to find that they
can enjoy their pet sea food without
damaging the budget severely, and
they should jump at this opportunity.
I went home from the Office the other
evening. to find my youngsters literally
UP to their ears in broiled live lob
ster, melted butter. lemon juice, finger
bowls. nutcrackers, and extra plates
for the welter of broken shell and
claws. It was horrid sight-but I
must admit that at the same time it
was fun to see how the offspring
enjoyed It'll And they were particularly
pleased with the whole affair, because
there had been a near-riot in the
kitchen beforehand over the fact that
the cook refused to cope with the
live Holsters single-handed-and the
family was called into action in
body. There had been much excite
ment, and pandemoniun reigned until
the Holsters were finally polished off
with sharp knife.
Here is the recipe for the bluebery

keep my dresses from the floor. Is
there any way to solve this problem
and make more room?
ANNA Mem, D street SE,
Answer-You will find a metal strip
at the hardware shops that fastens
nat to the ceiling Of your closet and
runs from front to back rather than
the long way. This is not more than
IL inches long and holds 10 hangers.
Two OF these would give you space for
~ dresses and there might be room
for one of the compact shoe or hat
boxes with compartments that look
SO neat and take up so little space.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;: We have an
old mantel in our house which is
almost falling apart. We would like
to have a new one installed. Can
carpenter copy the one that we have
or will it have to be taken down and
sent away to be made?
MRS. r. G., Rockville,
Answer-A good carpenter could copy
your mantel If it Is not too elaborate.
Also the lumber companies will provide
them from stock and some Of them
made after old designs are very nice.
There are also firms who specialize in
mantels and will furnish you anything
according to your specifications. The
stock mantel will be the cheapest. the
carpenter method next in price and
the mantel specialist will be more ex-
pensive, but he will furnish authentic
design.

III love WIN ElIl LOT seven
years. ever since We were in
college together. She wants
to marry me. but gives as her excuse
for not doing so now that she must
support her mother and father because
her brother and sister refuse to con-
tribute to the maintenance Of home
for their parents. They insist that
they need the money they make for
themselves and that 1t is her job to
take care of the old people. Now I
am able to support her, but unable to
support her family. Shall I continue
to wait for her? She can give no hope
of being relieved Of the burden as long
as the parents live. STEVE.
Answer-You must find the answer
to this problem in your own heart.
1t is not one that you can solve with
your head. 1t all depends upon how
much you love the girl and how much
she is a part Of your life. Maybe the
girl is worth waiting for Maybe you
will get some break that will enable
you to make enough money to support
her parents.
Maybe your girl will develop enough
backbone to force by law her selfish
brother and sister to contribute to
their fathers and mothers mainten-
ance, since they will not do it by
principle. Maybe you will just go on
waiting until love and desire perish of
sheer boredom. You never can tell.

feed to her, and neither one is a
pleasant thing to contemplate. If he
wearies Of the waiting that maketh
the heart sick with its hope deferred
and marries some other woman, he is
likely to regret it and go through life
mourning his first love. But if he
marries the girl who has a family

nEAR MISS NOVEL;: We have
small garden which we use great
deal this time of year I would like to
light it in several spots and thought I
might conceal the wires in two large
trees. I would like to conceal the light
source without getting into an ex-
pensive installation. Have you any
suggestions? MR. ALLAN A. c.,
Buchanan street
AnsWer-The smartest trick I have
seen lately were light fixtures installed
in the little wren houses that you may
buy in the shops for about a dollar.
The bottom was removed-the light
source was concealed and other than
the surprise it must be to the wren I
thought it an excellent idea. The wren
house was perfectly normal in appear
ance hanging from limb in the day
time, and the light was directed where
1t was needed in the evening There

fixtures and wiring whom you might
consult. If you wish their names,

as I plan to move in October. Can
you suggest anything that might make
the room appear cooler and the light
softer? MRS. G. B, Edgemoor, Md.
Answer-You might purchase identi-
cal rectangular vases in white or
cool green and keep them filled with
branches of green foliage during the
hot days. Place these on the window
silk. I am sure the sunlight coming
through the green will appear cooler
and the water in the bowls will ma
terially help. Arrange the branches
loosely so they will not keep out air,
and select long, tapering branches on
which the foliage is not too dense.
Any shrub or tree which can afford
to be plucked-and most of them can
at this time of year-will do the trick
for you.

brothers, and is literally sold into
slavery to them. And that is not an
alluring prospect for any man to con-
slider.
Novelists and dramatists do not sing
the saga Of blighted love that is
wrecked on domestic finances, yet
surely there is no tragedy more COM
plete or bitterer than that of lovers
who are kept apart by old people. and
younger brothers and sisters whom
they have to support. And this tragedy
befalls women oftener than it does
men. and it is made the bitterer be-
cause those who cause it so seldom
make any effort to alleviate it.
How often do We see parents quit
work as soon as the eldest daughter
Is old enough to get Job, and there
after sit down on the do-nothing stool
and let her support them. How often
do we see mothers and fathers take the
money that such girl earns to spend
on their younger children and give
them the good times and advantages
she never had.
How often do We see boys and girls
take the hard earnings of their sister
without a word of thanks. How often
do we see them marry before they are
able to support a family and bring
their husbands or wives back for sister
to take care Of. Apparently 1t never
occurs to any of them, once a sister
has bowed her neck to the burden, to
do anything to help lift it. or that she
is entitled to any life and happiness
of her own.
OF all the mean and dastardly acts
in the world, none equals the selfish
ness with which families pass the buck
to one member and wish on him or her
all Of the responsibilities and duties
that belong to them all. and that,
shared among them, would be light
and hurt none. instead of crushing the
one who is forced to bear them alone.
No doubt the family martyr is an an
gel. but the man or woman who mar
ries him or her has to share in the
martyrdom
