CARE OF FACE IN SUMMER

Problem for Athletic Girls Is How to Keep Skin White and Smooth During Hot Months. The athletic girl has problems of her own to face just now, for she wishes to be not only athletic but beautiful as well, and it is rather hard to run the two together in summer. The summer girl plays golf or tehnls all afternoon in the blazing sun and swims all morning, drying off afterward on the beach in the same sunshine. Then when evening comes around she puts on a low-necked, sleeveless gown and looks aghast at a dark-brown neck and arms, with the discoloration ending usually at the elbows and at the base of the throat, making the most vivid contrast with the pure white skin which lies beyond. To keep the neck and arms white and smooth, especially In summer, requires a little time and attention. The proper care of them night and morning will keep them from tanning if the girl uses a little discretion. The sun baths after swimming are the worst, for it is the water drying on the skin which makes such a deep tan. If she will dress immediately on leaving the water, the summer girl will find that the rest of her exercise will not harm her skin, provided she cares for it properly night and morning.
