OUTDOORS CAN MAR BEAUTY

I It gives her change and, of course, the very best kind of physi- cal exercise, tending to norma lize the appetite and the dimensions. And the rough setting is a constant invitation to alth-building, beauty bracing sports.
 So get in as much of 1t as you can, working ana playing.
 But on the other hand, there will be heat, air, insects, dirt, heavy work, and muscle strain to think about. They do damage 8 gals surface, and her spirits.
 Don't forget your cooling soap, powder, cologne and other bath ! requisites, including hard water soap if you're going out of reach i of soft warm showers or tubs. A good fluffy cleansing cream, too, for sun and air make 1t an es- sential.
 The outdoor girl who expects to be very much stunned over long stretch may want an emol- hent for skin and eye care, and every one will want things for their hands. Inexpensive cotton gloves will protect them, but, they'll require constant soap and water treatment, fololwed by lo- ton. She should remember, too, to dig her nails into soap before starting grimy task.
 For muscle strain, which may hurt enough to ruin your looks if you're not careful, the remedy is rest and gentle rubbing with any mild rubbing alcohol or witch hazel. And of course, better pre- vention-which means don't over- do work or play, particularly your first days out. That's the ticket for poison ivy also above all, watch out for and sidestep all creeping plants with leaves in tfreeS.
 BE PREPARED
 FOR INSECT BITES
 Insects, which mar your skin and disposition more than a town bred gal expects, can be tended off simply. When you work in a 90AASAAp PAV G 4VW WVk0 V4 GHAA4NS of camphor, oil of cedar, or oil of citronella on a towel near by. If you are bitten, wet the end of 8 bit of ordinary soap and rub this over the puncture. Or try touch- ing the bite with 8 napthalene moth ball, or iodine. If you are bitten by that other common men, ace, the red mite that inhabits practically every green thing, and that produces bump that lasts ten days, soak for half hour, rubbing alcohol, or, better, boric acid ointment.
 You'll want makeup for. this set- ting, too. I heartily agree with the gent who told the Land Army recruit, Remember, cows just don't appreciate a cupid's bow mouth" Obviously applied glaunor does look and feel absurdly arti- ficial amidst colurnbine and colts. But where is the woman who won't be searching for her Npstick when she spruces up-wherever?
 She'll want bright summer col- or; probably a tan foundation, especially at first; cool lubricat- ing lotion for hot nights, and a touch of fresh summer perfume or toilet water.
