Intelligent
Tanning at
Beach
First Two Weeks
Exposure Must
Be by Clock
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

1t would be interesting to know
how many women have ruined really
nicely teXtured skin with careless
sunburn. No longer do women who
are wise sacrifice their skin beauty
with careless abandon, but one still
sees some whose arms and back.
look like old brown leather at ths
end Of the summer.
Fortunate are those who can tar
to a soft honey color and they are
usually blends with blue eyes. These
striking darlings incite many women
to take the sun in the hope they
will tan as beautifully! But alas
alas, they usually come out of the
sun feeling the worse for having
been in it too long, and looking like
boiled lobster or an old Drowned
pocketbook of scuffed leather!
If you are particularly anxious
to tan ito change the color of your
skin for a few months you must
go about the thing sensibly. You
must provide your skin artifcially
with the oil that the sunlight and
air take away from it through ex-
posture, and you must for the first
two weeks burn by the clock!
Each time you plan a sun bath
spend to 10 minutes rubbing an
Oil or cream into your skin-every
bit that is to be exposed. Pay par
ticular attention to your upper chest,
the back of your neck and your
shoulder joints. Sun gets at those
tender parts first and does its burn
ing best!
For the first two days (authori-
ties agree) you should not be ex-
posed to hot sun for more than
three to six minutes; the third and
fourth days 10 to 20 minutes; the
fifth and sixth days 10 to 20 minutes
and not more than a half hour at
the end of the first week. The
amounting of your skin must con-
tinue even after you have acquired
the desired shade.
If you expose yourself to the sun
without being properly oiled first
OF all, or take the sun too long at
the beginning, your skin is bound to
become coarsened. 1t is foolish to so
destroy your skin texture for in
variably it is impossible to restore 1t
to its youthful loneliness.
In case you do sunburn through
carelessness land this is good for
a blister sunburn) the best thing
to do is to hop into bed between
cool sheets, and drink as much cold
water (not icedD as you can. Spread
a piece of sterilized gauze with a
dressing of zinc and eucalyptus
ointment and apply it twice day to
the burned sections.
II you are one to scorch no
matter what precautions you take,
and suffer with a hot, unattractive
glow after sunset, you might be
interested in knowing that calomine
lotion, which may be purchased from
a good drug store, acts as a harmless
and comforting bleach. Dab it on
at night, shaking the bottle we'll,
so you leave good thick layer OF
its powder on your skin. Put it on
the next day, too, if you plan on
being in the sun.

becomes vital, not only to cut down
the weeds which are competing with
the crops for subterranean water
and food, but to create dust mulch,
which will prevent evaporation from
the surface of the soil and conserve
it for the plants.
1t is now that the application of
plant food becomes important for
stimulating the growth of plants
which otherwise would be inclined
to sulk. Insect attacks should be
dealt with upon their first appear
ance, since the warm weather not
only increases the numbers of the
insects but diminishes the resistance
of the plants.
Where a garden can be irrigated
the complaint is often heard that
water does not seem to do much
good, and the reason usually given
is that the water is cold. But If
the water is applied in spray
which is broken up into fine par
ticles 1t Is warmed by the air suf-
flciently to overcome the objection.

Dorothy Dix Says>>>
Poor Marriage Often Prevented
By Ridicule from Parents

and not to be treated as child
Moverover, 1t makes the girl the
boys champion and forces her to
ignore all his defects and disadvan-
tages, which she would have noticed,
in defending him against her fam
lily. Opposition fans many a feeble
flame of liking into a fire of pas
sion that precipitates an unfortu-
nate marriage If left alone, this
little flame would have died out of
its own accord.
And it is not bad way to dis
creetly illusion the man. know of
one woman who broke up her
daughters marriage to a man of
whom she disapproved by telling the
man. who was quite canny about
money matters, about how undo
nestle her daughter was and how
extravagant. DOROTHY DIX.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1939-07-04

1t is probable that the reason for
disappointment in irrigation, as
rule is not cold water but insufficient
water.
The extent of evaporation during
hot weather calls for an extraordi-
nary amount of water to balance
the supply available for the plants.
The amount possible to apply by
the ordinary garden hose is insuffi-
Gent and is made less effective
when sprayed through the air. 1t
Is advisable, then, that even with
cold water, if the amount that can
be used is limited, it be allowed to
run in shallow trenches or applied
directly to the soil rather than
sprayed.
Instead of trying to water the
entire garden on the same day, or
evening, concentrate on one portion
and give it thorough soaking, at
least foot down. Next day, try
another part. Such a soaking should
last week, and the water will not
be cold very long.

Dear Dorothy Dix: Our family
Is worried over my young sister,
who imagines herself to be mad
~ in love with a divorced man
of i'll repute who is much older
than she is and far beneath her in
every respect. We feel that mar
riage with such a man would be
bound to bring misery to her, for
how can lovely, cultured girl, be-
longing to fine old family and who
has been brought up in luxury. find
happiness and contentment with an
uncouth, uneducated man without
even decent manners, who comes
from the plainest and humblest Of
people? They belong to different
worlds and have nothing in common
with each other. Moreover, he can
not provide her a living that would
supply her with what she would
call pocket money. What is to be
done in such a case? ZITA.
AnsWer-Very little, I am afraid.
unless you can laugh it off. Young
girls who are impervious to reason
are often very sensitive to ridicule.
If you can make her get your view
OF this man as figure of fun in
stead Of her own picture of him as
a romantic hero, it will go a long
way toward disillusioning her You
can talk yourself hoarse telling an
infatuated girl that the boy she
thinks she is in love with drinks too
much, or is lazy and no-account. or
that he is immoral, and she will
turn deaf ear to all your Struc-
lures. But she will listen when you
make joke about his grammar and
pronunciation. and when you ridi-
cule his table manners and his
clothes.
A girl will stand up and defy her
father to his teeth when he forbids
some unsuitable sutton the house.
But when her father smiles and
asks: What's become of your beau
in the high-Water pants and with
the penitentiary haircut?" she lets
him go.
1t is unfortunate when families
try to break up a marriage that they
know Is bound to end in disaster
for their daughter that they nearly
always go about it in the wrong way.
They use opposition when they
should use subtlety. Opposition
merely makes the girl angry and
arouses her fighting blood and her
determination to do as she pleases

The prettiest girl at the party will
be the one wearing this charmingly
simple frock, which has such gay
and flattering lines! It has every
thing calculated to enhance the
charm of youthful f1gure-a skirt
cut high at the waist and very full
at the hem, to make you look tiny
around the middle. A bodice gath
cred to give rounded look to your
bosom, scalloped square neckline
to frame your face, and sleeves with
gathered sections to widen your
shoulders. And don't overlook the
charm of that "follow-me" sash bow
in the back!
This dress will be prettiest in taf-
feta, organdy or dimity-crisp ma
terials that do full justice to the
sleeve puffs and skirt flare, in colors
young girls wear best!

this year are no exception to the
rule. One of the outstanding effects
of both the San Francisco and the
New York Fair is their exciting use
of color on the exterior as we'll as the
interior of buildings, which gives
an entirely new approach to color
in it's relation to your house and
mine.
There have been great events in
housing in the last five years that
we have all read about and watched
with interest, but always in remote
and abstract way. Now it is all
brought to our attention in an inter
esting and breathtaking manner
and can not help but influence our
point of view, in spite of all precon-
ceived ideas.
One of the most attractive features
OF the San Francisco Exposition is a
three-way consideration of the
home building phase of American
life. There is a steel, stream lined
house especially designed for western
living in western landscape and
gagged to the moderate income
purse. There is also New England
Cape Cod ho'iee arranged to look at
home in a western old fashioned
garden. Then there is tour around
the city to many brand new houses,
of all eras, styles and designs adjust
ed to the western environment and
from all of these the last impression
is one of color-gay. joyous color
everywhere, inside and QUIT
At the New York Fair is village
of Is model houses, each one differ
ent and individually Handicapped, and
here again the most interesting and
outstanding memory is of the color
Red houses. blue houses, maroon
houses, houses decorated on the
outside with murals, garden walls
with painted designs and murals,
everything as gay as it can be, and
being Nation of people with
natural yen for happiness, we re-
sSpohd Fundamentally to all of it.
Possibly you can imagine yourself
IN blue house or a maroon one
Take our word for it, there is nothing
garish about these colors. OF course,
you and I would not care to live for
years in a home as dramatic as an
exhibition building. but neither is
there any longer sufficient reason
for painting a new house the tradi-
tional white with green blinds, or
yellow with white trim, lovely as
they may be. Paint is now made in
every color suitable for outside use.
1t will not streak or fade in rain
or sun, or discolor with the years,
which was the real reason for the
widespread use of the simple colors
of previous times.
The red-barn color of New Eng
land, as American as Yankee
Doodle" and as familiar, is one of the
new terra Gotta reds that is so popu-
lar. Horizon and distance blue, that
color that makes us gasp with delight
when we look out from a mountain
