DANGER IN BATHING SEASON

For Many Reasons Girls Make a Mistake in Seeking to Acquire a Coat of Tan. The girl who wishes to keep her skin and hair beautiful will exert the greatest care of it during the salt water bathing season. She should not linger on the beach after she comes out of the water, but should wash off all salt from her skin before exposing herself , to the sunshine again. If the salt water reaches her hair at all, it should be washed off at once. She should not neglect this at any costr for the brine is very harmful to her hair and scalp, forming a hard crust on the head as it. dries., To protect the complexion from the salt water, it is a good idea to rub plenty of cold cream into the face before going in. The girl may dust it over with powder, if she does not care to pass out before the other bathers with her face all shiny front the cream. The grease will keep out the salt water in some degree and will serve as a protection against the sun. Girts dannot be too strongly urged to do everything in their power to care for their skin and hair. They should try to avoid a tan as they would poison Ivy. It may seem desirable at the moment, but when they wear low-necked frocks the tan on their throats, shaped like the necks of their bathing suits, will look so ugly that they will sincerely regret ever having acquired it Then they will be even more sorry when the tan begins to fade and they look like victims of the jaundice, to say nothing of having skin like leather, ,
