BEAUTY.

TO TAN, OR NOT TO TAN? Your skin needs plenty of skin food during the summer to counteract the drying effect of sunlight and unaccustomed hours spent in the open air. Use a nourishing cream lavishly on face and neck before bed, "and when you come in from driving, golfing, tennis or swimming. To tan, or not to tan—that is the question. If you answer: “I want a golden skin!” you may have it, if you do just what I tell you. Take to the beach with you: One measure of commonsense, one tube sunburn cream, or bottle of oil; dark glasses; one big beach robe. Apply the cream or oil generously and evenly over the exposed parts, and turn down your bathing suit as fa, as your beach Inspector will allow. Turn your body slowly, like a chicken on a spit, and keep turning. Cover up after 15 minutes. If you have miscalculated and feel burned apply a healing ungeant immediately. In fact, it’s a good thing, anyway, after your first sun bathe, to grease yourself with a lubricating ci earn, or pat on a soothing lotion, •just to make certain you get no burnt patches. Doctors say that sunburn is like other burns. To let yourself get badly burned is as foolish as putting your hand in a flame. But “I’m red haired and I freckle and burn as red as a lobster. I hate freckles, and I don’t want to live indcors all summer. What do I do?” Here’s a pretty problem. Well, take ■with you on your holidays: 1 jar special protective cream or bottle of lotion, 1 large hat. Dresses with long, thin sleeves, capes or jacket tops, an all-envelop-ing beach robe, 1 bottle of sun tan powder lotion. Wear the large hat practically all the time. Apply the protective lotion always when you go out, but don’t expect it to work miracles. When you swin, throw your beach robe around you Immediately afterwards. If any freckles appear, lessen the spotty effect by smoothing on a light tan powder lotion evenly on face and neck and arms.
