Short Skirts— Keep a woman free. unham- pered in mind and body, with a sane, sensible point of view and pride in her appearance By Fay tevenson @opyright, 1022 (New York Evening World by the Press Publishing Company Wren will be the psychological effect of skirts upon the feminine mind ths season?

Women who go back to long skirts will lose all pride in their legs. They will let them get fat and flabby again. They will wear darned hosiery and run-over slippers. They will hide behind ,their skirts, and while their legs get bulky and they pay less attention to the way they walk, their minds will become over- sexed—they will be conscious when- ever a stray «wind uncovers ther chaste limbs and, in fact, all their good, sane, sensible points of view will be altered. “Clothes dominate a man or a woman more than any one realizes,”’ continued Mr. ‘Tridon, ‘When L ant in a soft shirt, jeans and an old bat ———_—_—_ — Going Down!

HIS is the season of the year when the athletic summer girl fades into the retrospective and t he well-groomed putumn girl holds the centre of the stage. How to step from the one role into the other is proving an in- tricate problem for many of you, At first you thought by pur- chasing new fall “togs" you could obtain this we 11- groomed appearance, and you have found to your dismay that the velvety texture, rich tones and soft colors, touched here and there with a bright spot, only tend to bring into promi- nence the ravages of summer. Many of you have written to me for advice on how to bleach out your skin, how to do this and how to do that, which only shows too plainly that you ajl need a Ittle advice on how to give particular care to your- selves at this time of the year 80 as to obliterate the damage that over exposure to the sun during the sum- mer has’left. There are so many little things, tn- significant in themselves, that are ab- necessary to obtain a well- solutely groomed appearance thas we will have to take them under separate subjects and carefully go over the ground. When you have conquered each one of these separately you will be able to obtain the perfect ensemble that is necessary to appear your best during the fall season In the first place, you have noticed to your dismay that your skin looks so dark in contrast to your new fall clothes. It will need special attention and you cannot expect to cover the damage of a season spent In the open by a little powder—never mind how thick you underlay it with founda- tion crean. The skin itself must be bleached. All ekins ure so different, and each one of you knows well just what agrees with your partic ar skin, By Doris Doscher that I am got to give vou several remedies for fading out the tan and sunburn as well as the freckles. You will have to experiment a little bit to which one agrees best with you, see Perhaps you never thought that an innocent gluss of milk, If allowed to turn sour, would have a natural acid which plendid bleach for neck, face and hands. But it is true as you can discover for yourself if you stick your finger In a glass of sour milk and see the action on your skin, Of is not very pleasing Very well, there is one upplied that is inexpen- course this agent tb use nature “has siv ly secured and has several things to its credit. It not only bleaches but it softens the texture and has an astringent tonic effect on the skin, It is a LEMON, When all of these things can be said for one Uttle lemon you can al- ways use if, You will find that for od the hands the lemon just sliced in half and rubbed over the skin works wonders in removing the stains and softening the rough appearance and bleaching the skin. If your face Is super-sensitive and inclined to be dry you had better dilute the lemon a lit- tle at first. On the neck, especially, where the line of tan from the bath- ing suit ends, you might use it in full strength. Allow this to dry in for a few minutes and pat dry with a towel. Of course if you are going im- mediately out you had best rinse with cold water. Here is a wash preparation in which lemon juice plays a part, but the other ingredients used help along the good work. Just add to a pint of rosewater, one-half ounce of pulver- ized borax and one wunce of strained lemon juice. I woul advise you to make this up and have it on hand for daily use. Since the first thing to do is to get back a fair skin, try getting rid of the sunburn, tan and freckles.
