———— ee THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 1918 Seven Best Ways to Foil | Beach Girls’ Funny Freckles | And the Silly Sunburn 4 Mask Would Be Useful to Keep Sunburn Germs ata Distance, and Bicycle Tape to Cover the Nose Is Another Method—Neither Might Be Seen at the Seaside, Aithough Every- body Watches the Bathing Girls! By Bide Dudley NE bundred and sixty-two years ago, according to Boolah's History of America and New Jersey, Dame Helen Gcootum of Virginia coined that oft repeated phrase: “The longer the nose, the more plentiful the freckles.” A year later, when Dame Hannah Quick of Maryland heard the ro- mark, she coined another which hes gained recognition in literary ctreles | also. It was: “To the long nose comes the most sunburn.” Since the days of Dames Scootum and Quick the truth of their ro- marks has been deeply imbedded in the minds of the ladies of the land, especially those fond of bathing in the wands on the beaches. They have come to realize to the fullest extent that @ nose au nature] is an attach- ment which lends leadership to the face, thereby enhancing the beauty of the phiz, as Shakespeare calls the countenance in his memoirs; while a nose treated fiippantly by the sun becomes merely a bump which mars, yea, even mutilates, the loveliness that the average girl thinks she wears op the front of her head. Invariably when Dame Scootum went forth to cavort in her hoop skirt bathing costume the sun would pounce down on her nose and freckle it to such an extent that she was ashamed to appear at the ball of the Colonial Woodmen of the World for fear some wise Jane would sniff and remark: “There's a heap of freckles on Dame Scootum’s handle, ain't they?” And when Dame Quick took her 4ip in the sand and poked her nose into a lot of sunburn she was very gad, indeed, because somehow or other sho just felt certain that at the poker party given by the Ladies’ Auriliary some spiteful old thing would pipe: “Methinks a fair lady hath been Imagine—a toper in our Buch was the case in the olden days, but it isn't now. Science, cou- pled with the natural ingenuity of the latter day American girl, has found » number of ways to defeat the Orb of Day in his efforts to rob the feminine nose of its efficiency. It was this fact that inspired a lady in diplo- matic circles in Washington to write the following rhyme The sun, which smiled on noses, ‘And spolled them with his glance, ‘To worry Kates and Josles Now hasn’t got a chance. Bearing out our statement of old Sol's defeat, we call your attention to the step the girl bathers at Atlantic Cliy have taken in this direction. There the young women appear 99 the beach, their noses camouflaged with strips of adhesive plaster, Nat- urally the practice makes a girl's face Jook weird, but who noiices gins’ faces when they (the girls, not the faces) are on the beach? The plan was tried for the first time just a few days ago and it worked wonderfully. There was just one drawback. It was discovered by y were througn bathing, that the plaster had beer badly freckled and sunburned, This, of course, was hardly fair to the plaster. However, the young women, real- izing that their scheme bad robbed the un of just that many freckles and just that much sunburn, deotded to continues it, One girl had a hard time removing a strip of plasteg be- cause a big freckle had landed haf cn the plaster and half on her f thus sealing the covering down. She tried soaking the freckles off, but it resivted all her attempts. Finally she managed to yank it off, athough it pained her & great deal more then her face was in the habit of doing The Atlantic City method of saving the beauty of noses isn’t the only ¢ fective one. Women all over the lan have been experimenting and as a re sult, seven—count meth ods of protecting the proboscis from mutilation have b discovered Listed, they appear as follows 1—The use of adhesive plaster, tape will do. 2-The wearing of fencing masks to keep freckles and the sunburn germs at their distance, ®Ratbing io a wooden washtub in a ark cellar,.

Sev- ral others have been tried but found wanting. For instance, one woman from Broadway thought the sun's Pesta might be foiled if the bather did the turkey trot constantly while | on the beach. It wouldn't work. The freckles and sunburn soon became ax- pert turkey trotters and managed to keep pace with the girls without any | difficulty at all, Another method that failed ee sisted of burying oneself six feet decp in sand. While it foiled th» freckles and sunburn, so far as the buried girl was concerned, it gave them a wonderful chance to grab the mourn- ers at the funeral. Hence we can recommend but the seven methods enumerated above They have all been tried innumerable times and found officient. Some girls) use two or three of them at once, and)!

By Marguerite Mooers Marshall VERY little girl, I suppose, who was not born a blonde has desired to achieve the biggest of blue eyes and ourls as golden as the combined contents of the SubTreasury. At @ more mature age she learns that brunetteness has its compensa- tions; among them intelligence, energy and what is known colloquially as “pep.” Still another compensa- tion is the choice of a wide range of becoming colors for charming frocks, sults and hats.

In fact, like most women, she should exercise great care in choosing “purple and fine linen;” orchid is the best shade for her. It is just as well, | I think, that purple really suits so few individuals, for it is a color of which one tires quickly and by which one is “known” readily, All shades of blue look well on the pale brunette, and if her eyes are blue, electric and sapphire tints har- | monize admirably with them, Unless she has a great deal of color, she can wear every shade of pink, With red she should be «nore careful, choosing | | by preference the dark shades, such ag garnet or burgundy, | Only @ few shades of bronze, reseda | or bottle green should be included | in her wardrobe.

As a boost to art, we have endowed 5,000,000,000 travelling schol- arships from Bleecker Street to Columbia University and back again. We have a standing offer of 260 chopped subway tickets for the best finger painting in the dust on our express windows. The reason why we don't shovel the top soil off our car windows is that we wish to encourage the subway artists. Our art galleries in the Bronx slocals are cuckoos. Graduates of the subway heel-and-toe school of art enjoy the same standing in art circles that they do in the subway, Don't ask us to massage the scum off our car windows.
