HIMTS FQ-R SUMMER eOMPLEXIOM
HOW TO KEEP IT LOVELY AND FREE FROM TAN,
SUNBURN AND FRECKLES.
i 1 ; 1 : .
BELLA 3IONCRIEFF has a com
plexion and -oh, the care she takes
of it! '
It has to be put to bed occasionally
during the day; it denies Itself Ices and
other deleterious compounds, and it has to
have beef-tea administered to it when it
cornea home from a. hard-bought -dance.
Just now It has to muster all its resources
lor the lively Summer campaign with
tan, freckles and sunburn.
Although freckles are an indication of a
fine skin, that, alas! is no consolation.
"While sun, and even air. Increase freckles,
they are not the primary cause. Any
cure must Involve the exclusion of both.
Caution must be exercised regarding ex
posure to wind and sun: big hats, -veils
and gloves should be worn. The modern
maid is even threatening to adopt a
colonial fashion that of wearing a mask.
Before going out in the sun it is advis
able to rub on a little "pommade de cou
combres," "or any good cold cream. At
night the face should be bathed with
elderflower water, which cools and re
freshes, and therefore benefits, the skin;
so also does rose water, but scarcely with
as good results.
Never bathe the face while it Is hot.
"Wait until night, then touch up freckles
with a lotion. If the nose Is a shining
mark, owing to an aggravated case of
sunburn, dip a soft cloth In sweet cream
and lay It. over nose and cheeje. The re
lief la almost instantaneous.
Summer freckles those "kisses of the
sun" are not so difficult to dal with as
those which are constitutional and perma
nent, or cold freckles, as they are called.
"With a little care.tho skin may be kept
free from this disfigurement.
Some skins are so delicate that they be
come freckled on the slightest exposure to
the open air in Summer. The cause is
that the iron in the blood, forming a
function with the oxygen, leaves a rusty
mark where the Junction takes place.
The obvious remedy is to dissolve the
combination. One cure is a lotion made
by adding one-half ounce of lemon juice
to one-half pint of rose water, and adding
two drams of powdered alum. Apply with
a clean camel's hair brush.
Another remedy is to wash the face and
neck and arms and hands, too, if neces
sary, with elderflower water and apply
an ointment made by simmering gently
together one ounce of Venlse soap and
one dram each of dellquated oil of tartar
and oil of bitter almonds. "When the
mixture acquires consistency, two drops
of rhodium may be added. "Wash the
emollient off in the morning with elder
flower water.
Still another cure la about one-half pint
of milk, the juice of a lemon arid a table
spoonful of brandy. Boll and skim, then
add a dram of rock alum.
Another good reclpo is the following:
Rub one-half dram of powdered borax
with one-half ounce of glycerine, grad
ually add three ounces of rose water and
one dram of bitter almond water, and
lastly, one dram of tincture of benzoin.
IN THE SECOND HALF
A COLLEGE STORY BY DOROTHY BLACKMORE
jf TEMPORA! O mores!" read
as he sat in his room mechan
ically translating Cicero's first oration
against Catallne.
'Yes, Cicero, old man," he said, Irrev
erently, "those are my sentiments, tool
'What a time! "What a state of affairs!'
Indeed, when a fellow can't have the girl
he's head over heels in love with."
The big football player slammed his
book shut and leaned back In his chair,
leaving the Latin translation to take care
of itself.
To lounge dejectedly in his chair, gazing
pensively at the mantelpiece, had become
one of Bob's dally occupations. Perhaps
the white letters. W-E-L-L-E-S-L-E-Y,
standing out conspicuously on a penant
in the center, had fascinated him. Per
haps the mere knowledge that she had
given it to him made Fate seem less cruel.
Be that as it may, the "Wellesley pen
nant held the p! ?e of honor in the room,
the spot wherein the photograph of the
reigning Queen of the football player's
heart had hitherto stood. A long row
of pretty faces reaching across the wail
told their own story of a brief reign.
A.nd now, where each in turn had stood,
hung an inanimate pennant.
Tom was rudely recalled from dream
land by a knock at the door.
"Come in!" he shouted. Inhospitably,
and without looking around.
"What's up, Bob?" inquired Ned Sum
mers, entering the room in football at
tire. "Why are you mooning around
hero? The fellows are waiting."!
He glanced about the roomv for eome
explanation of Bob's evident mental dis
turbance. "Hang football," was tho uncivil re
sponse. Ned vented his feelings by e whistle of
surprise. After a minute he laid a hand
on Bob's shoulder.
"What's the matter, old chap?" he
asked. "Do you want those fellows to
wipe us off the face of the earth on Sat
urday? One might think so from the

One remedy may pro,ye belter adapted

that you were in love, but Hello!" His
eye fell on the pennant on the mantel.
"Where's her picture? -"Who is it now?"
He walked to the fireplace.
That's the question where is It? She
didn't give me one."
Bob's dejected air was so unusual as
to cau4e Ned to look curiously at him.
'I say. Bob, is your brain affected?" he
asked, half seriously. It was unlike the
halfback to succumb to anything senti
mental. "No. I tell "you, Ned, if s my heart
I'm. hard hit"
"Why don't you tell her?
"Why don't I ride to the moon In an
auto?" Evidently thero were rough spots
in Bob's temper.
"Come, Bob, what's It all about?"
Ned's expression was one of bewilder
ment "I tell you, she won't listen to me. 1

spent the Summer thero with her mother,
and on the afternoon of the night she
was to leave I tried to tell her all about
It only to become entangled In one of
those sarcastic conversations which end
ed in a quarrel. To cool off I went out
lor a turn in the water, intending to
return and apologize for some things I
said. "When I was nicely out In the mid
dle the wind went down and left me lulled
two miles from shore, my Balls empty
and no sign of an oar."
""Well?" asked Ned, leaning against the
mantelpiece and becoming interested.
"Weill It wasn't well at all," corrected
Bob, Impatiently. "Whea I finally reached
the hotel, several hours later, she was
Sgone, but not without a parting shot at
me in a note. She said a lot of things
about people losing their tempers and all
that rot and of how a real gentlemen'
would have apologized for what I had
said. You see, she thought It was inten
tionalmy going out on the lake and re
maining until she was .gone."
Bob's eyes sought the pennant again.
"But why don't you write to her?
She'll listen to reason." Ned was begin
ning to show 6lgns of sympathy. .
"I did, and I'm waiting yet for the answer."

Freckles arc more easily doctored, per
haps, by means of a camel's hair, brush.
One very good way to apply a lotion to
the face, when time is not taken into ac
count, is to pour as much as is needled
into a clean saucer and use sterilized," ab

purchased for a trifling eum at the chem

as needed. Dip them into the lotion- and
Bob pulled impatiently at his great mop
of football hair- ' ' '
"And the pennant how about that?"
asked Ned. "L
"Oh, she gave that to me-before. It's
all I have of hers."
"Do you realize that you .haven't en
lightened me as to who 'her is?"
"Sho's Lourene Richmond. And, by
Jove, she Is pretty! Lives in Corning.''
It was Boh's own fault that he did not
detect the shaft of surprise" that shot
across his friend's face.-
""Well-, it's pretty tough, old man. but
this won't win our game for us. Come,
we. must practice. A bump or two on
the gridiron will shake all sentiment out
of you. We must do those fellows Sat

into the street together, Ned xaa on ahead
and disappeared around tho corner, os
tensibly to telephone a friend But the
telephone message was written on a tele
grapn blank, and read: "Miss Gladys Irv

SOME OP THE SIMPLE BATHING EFFECTS.
Harvard had not scored. Expressions of 1
mingled surprise and disappointment were
plainly visible on many faces in tho
crowded stand.
Terbell, the halfback, had fumbled every
ball in the first half. He was not playing
in his usual form.
When "time" was called, Ned Summers
rushed up to a small boy standing on the
field. All out of breath from playing, ho
gasped:
"Run to Bob Terbell's room. 'Know
where It is? All right Bring the pennant
hanging on the mantel. Bring it here as
fast as you can scamper."
As, the players took their positions for
the second half Bob Terbell, bending over
with his head between his knees, glanced
casually at the grandstand.1t Through the
space he saw a white-lettered pennant
floating In the breeze. Without thought
of the game he stood erect Just as the
signal was to be given. On a pretence of
adjusting his nose-guard, he stood for a
minute, while the signal was held.
"X-Y-Z-U-131" called the quarterback,
as Bob resumed his position.

standing them on wooden slats to raise
them .from the' bottom. Cover each Jar
with Its top, but do not fasten them.
Pour warm water into tho boiler to half
the height of the Jars, tthen cover and
cook until the fruit is clear. Remove the
jars from the boiler and fill them to. over

A "POLLY PIPER" PARTY
NQVEL ENTERTAINMENT MUCH IN VOGUE
PORCH parties are now tho vogue. A
clever hostess recently sent out in
vitations for a "Polly Piper" party. The
cards gave no clew to the nature of the
affair, and each guest was left to wonder
what a "Polly Piper" rngbt be.
When the guests assembled on the wide
porch, they found it set with low tables
and chairs of all sorts and conditions.
Gay cushions promised comfort, plants
and hanging baskets offered sweetness,
but no "Polly Piper" was in evidence.
On the small tables an array of clay
pipes was spread, all new and sweet
smelling. Were the fair guests Invited to
a smoker? The appearance of the hostess,
loaded down with sheaves of tissue and
crepe paper of every imaginable shade,
with scissors and with mucilage bottles,
relieved their perplexity. When she an
nounced that each guest must make her
own "Polly Piper," there was an instant
babble of questions and exclamations.
Each guest was given a pipe, with in-
4-st ructions that she was to dress it with
in 4a minutes, at the end of which time
prizes were to be awarded to the two
whose work should be judged best Each
one might select three strips of paper
from which to fashion a costume. To
make the doll complete, each one must
have a faco drawn also.
Tha guests went immediately to work,
selecting- their wrappers with reference to
the character which their particular doll
was to assume. Gray and white papers
were chosen for the doll which was to don
Quaker garb; navy bluo-and red for the
Salvation Army girl; blue and white for
the yachting costume, while the gayest
colors on the table went to rig out a ver

who preferred to use it
