Women Intending to pass the cummer or a jiortiou of it at the seashore much be very careful of both skin and hair. The salt of wind and wave, as well as the glare on the sandy beaches, play havoc with the texture of the skin aid MM beauty of the hair. Pounds and more pounds of the best n, i cream should be used on the skin, and the sea water should never be allowed to remalu in tho hair. It Is better to wear oil-skin caps and so fte8l the head entirely, but with the utmost precaution an occasional wetting occurs, aud then the salt water should he rinsed out as soon as possible and the hair dried A little salt !s good for the hair, but not the real alt water of the sea; it leaves the hair sticky and in time destroys its loss beyond restoring. It should be the rule to rest the head from all. or as much as possible, artificial dressings, and helps through the hot months; no curling iron should be used at all. for one reason that the ?url will not stay in. and another, that be hair may have the rest it so much needs from the constant dressing in .he whirl of the winter festivities.

There is a wonderful new German reduction method which calls for a rubber blanket, in which the fat woman is wrapped. Sometimes she is put into a rubber suit. And with this o tight that it both compresses and sweats her she does her exercises. The result is a rapid loss of weight And particularly does this weight around the belt line disappear, just where It is the thickest and looks the worst Make the room quite hot and go through a simple course of gymnastic, the most important of which is the bending exercises. She can He flat on the floor and elevate her feet. She can stand and bend over. She ran lie upon the floor and lift one foot and then the other. The roe gymnastics are extremely good. A rope Is slipped over the foot and the handles are held In the hand The roje is seesawed by the handles, and the patient is strengthened as to her back and broadened as to her shoulders. The second of the rope exercises is taken lying flat upon the back. The patient lies down, lifts one foot, throws a rope over it, and seesaws It. pulling the handles back and forth. This is for the reduction of the belt line proper. Incidentally it develops tho chest.

Few Healthful Breathing Exercises

For reducing the chin and the waist at the same time there is an old physical culture exercise which resembles in a way the puss in the corner game of the nursery' folk. The one who is reducing kneels down in the corner puss fashion, throwing the rope to some one else, who pulls on it in a sort of tug-of-war fashion. If there is no one to assist the puss can play it by herself,, throwing the rope over something and seasawing the handles. This is excellent from the viewpoint of exercise. The kneeling josltion. the exercise with the arms, the vigorous chest movements, and the fact that the chin is kept constantly on the go makes It quite varied and enjoyable. When all is said and done about reducing those who are stout never need look or act unsightly If they are fastidious about their daily baths two a day, the hot at night, the cold plunge in the morning dainty about their food, eschewing the grosser sorts and taking the fruits and vegetables lo abundance, with no water at meal time and plenty within two hours of meals, and if, besides, they indulge in regular exercise walks.golf. sw imming, höre back riding, or some other favorite physical practice. So long as the flesh is firm and well carried and pure from

internal and external impurities, it Is not ungainly or unpleasant to the eye.

When one knows how much there is in breathing one begins to realize the importance of breathing exercises.

throwing the had upward and backward. Exhale as the head is brought forward. The hands on the hips hold the shoulders down. Count four while bresthing in and four while breathing out. Clasp the hands over the abdomen and take a full deep breath, at tho same time pressing upon the abdoma and lifting the chest as high as possible. Count four while breathing la and the same while breathing out. Do not relax the pressure on the abdomen while breathing out. bnt continue it all the while. The" thTrd movement-is füll'breath ing with chest lifting, almost the same as the last. Raise the chest high and hold It there, letting tbo breath go out. and pressing hard upon the abdomen to prevent the cheat from sinking. You cannot let the chest down while you clasp the haads tlcht.
