 Q. How often should ice-water, as an astringent, be applied to the face?
 A. At least twice day. Applying 1t vigorously with the palms of the hands tones up the circulation of the face and is an excellent astrin- gent.
 Q. Is the nectarine a distinct spe- cies of fruit?
 A. Bailey's Cyclopaedia of Horti- culture says that the nectarine is a smooth skinned peach. It was for merly thought to be a distinct spe- cies. Nectarines often come from seeds of peaches, and peaches have come from seeds of nectarines; and yet it is not impossible that dis tinct species is involved in the nec- tarine group.

you don't nave to wear these or any others of them, unless you want to. Never has there been wider va riety of silhouettes. Never have there been so many truly beautiful day dresses for every imaginable type of figure.
 Don't reject a new silhouette un- til you have tried on several varia- tions of it. But buy it only because it's outstandingly becoming-not be- cause you know that it's new.
 Unless your stomach and dia- phragm are reasonably fiat. you won't like yourself in corset dress. Even one of the new honest-to-good- ness corsets can't make your waist line more than three, or just pos- sibly four, inches small than 1t is without cau-ing much discomfort not to mention pushing the flesh every whichway.
 GOOD FOUNDATION
 IS SECRET OF IT
 However, corset dress or no, your shopping tour for fall day dress should start in the corset and lingerie department. You'll want a foundation garment which nips in the waistline at least little wheth- CT you are going in for corset dresses or no. To some degree, every sil- houette glorifies the feminine form! And who ever heard of 8 feminine looking form without the waistline clearly defined??
 You'll want brassieres which give you a full, high-bosomed look. And slips, cut to fit the figure and guar anteed not to wrinkle beneath the dress. You "an't really tell whether 8 dress is right for you unless you triy it on ever a proper foundation garment, the right braSsiere and a slip which molds the lines of the body.
 Schiaparelli curves apron-front skirts up in back, sometimes ending them with hustle bow. The ma jority of the couturiers still concen- trate interest at the back.
 Molyneux puts plastered bodices above full skirts. But he does also many straight-line dresses with straight, seven-eights coasts over them. And both Molyneux and Piguet feature quantities of simple wool frocks with neatly tailored matching jackets over them. Do you begin to see what is meant by the variety of silhouettes in current col- 1ections? Then 1t ought to be simple to find out what you like and what suits you best.
 Sheer wools are much in favor. If the season between hot summer weather and cool, crisp fall weather is extremely short in your climate, wool may be right even for that first fall dress, as well as for those to wear later vnder your winter !, coat. You'll be thrilled, however, with silk fabrics with a pebbly tax ture, rayons which look like wor- steds-in fact, like everything under the sun tut what they are.
 There's wide range of colors, too. Black leads, as always, but brown, greens (particularly moss- green), bluss and wines are given prominent positions. Black and red together are smart. And SO, of course, are moss-green and bronze brown.

Teach Yourself to Dance We'll
 A girl who won't be rushed at dances! Every few minutes she apologizes-for stepping on her partners toe or missing a step!
 If only, instead of apologizing, she would correct the poor posture that causes half her blunders! Easy to do that in home lessons. And with simple diagrams she could quickly master steps, too.
 For an example of wrong posture look at the girl in our top sketch. By leaning forward she gets off bal ance, can only take small steps backward--and tangled feet result.
 Correct and graceful to dance erect, balanced on the balls of your feet as shown by the girl in lower sketch. Then you can take long steps backward. If you hold arms up, too, you won't be a drag on your partner but will skim lightly along.
 And with diagrams showing how to place your feet, there's no reason to miss a step-from dreamy waltz to exotic rumba.
 Learn the basic steps and vari- ations of popular dances from our 32-page booklet. Shows with dia- grams and instructions how to do the tango, rumba, waltz, fox-trot, Westchester, shag. Pointers on pos- ture, leading and following make your dancing on par with the best.
 Send IOc I'm coin for your copy of HOME COURSE IN NEW BALL ROOM DANCES to the Waterbury Democrat Home Service. 635 Sixth Ave, New York, N. Y. Be sure to write plainly your NAME, AD- DRESS, and the NAME Of booklet.

either way, she has taken command.
 When a friend has problem, she finds out about it Gall she has to do is be willing to listen in- stead of sounding off about her own problems) and then instead of merely smpathizing like all the other friends, she calmly faces the situation and hunts for a solution.
 When a newcomer arrives on the scene, she holds out the first hand of welcome. Such gestures do not cost much in time or effort, and they are seldom forgotten.
 If there is an unpleasant thing to be done, she offers to do 1t.
 A leader is practical. She knows that good intentions not only are no help to others, but they never bring any credit to their owner.
 So while she may be no kinder or more concerned about others than those around her, she expresses her feelings with action.
 And in time she becomes the cen- ter of her circle. And everyone comes to her.

DON'T WASH AWAY YOUR TAN K It is safe now, I hope, I hope, hope, to cite recent scientific ob- seryations which tend to confirm an old vagary of mine, which, if per- chance you have survived many years of 1t, you may recall I ad- vocated recklessly in days of old when we were bold. Now we'll just mention 1t hastily and get on to the discussion of nudity, sunbath- ing, the action of ultraviolet light on the body, tanning, sunburn, and health. The concept to which I refer is that-come closer so can whisper = too frequent bathing is rather injurious to health. Now may I add that I don't mind the cracks any superior persons may please to make about this, in fact I enjoy 8 lampooning. if it only has an original touch and of course the writer's signature to set it of from the general ruck. Please re- member, however, that I am con- cerned only with hygiene and health-not with esthetics. Estheti- cally you may bathe as frequent and as extensively as you nke-it is no sebum off my skin. From the view point of personal health bathing is often overdone and the victim suf- fers pruritus (itching without ap- parent cause) or other skin irri- tation or in some instances in- creased sensitivity to atmospheric changes. Finally, from the view point of public health or sanita- tion, aside from keeping free from vermin such as pediculi Qice) and fungi (ringworm) and mites (the itch), with which the wet wash has comparatively little to do, the popularity of bathing bears no par ticular relations to the morbidity rate in the community.
 The saying cleanliness is next to Godliness" ascribed to John Wesley, who ascribed 1t to some one else, probably applied to moral purity, not to personal cleanliness. There was practically no personal cleanliness as we understand it to- day, in Wesley's time (early eigh- tenth century,. Today 1t seems that obvious cleanliness is often next
 to Godlessness.
 In any case the less clothing one wears the less washing one needs Air (oxygen) and sunlight are more efficient in keeping the body clean than are soap and water.
 Some biological chemists are of the opinion that too vigorous wet washing after a sunbath removes some of the vitamin D generated by the action of ultraviolet light on sterols (fatlike substances) in the skin. They believe the sterols are contained mainly in the sebum or oily secretion of the sebaceous glands, and that this Is removed by water alone and especially by soap and water washing.
