To Keep Skin in Fine
Condition in Summer
I (From The Family Physician.)
It would be much better for the
skin if little cream, powder or rouge
were used during the heated term.
Mixed with perspiration, dust apd
< grime, these things are anything but
( beautifying. Ordinary mercolixed
\ wax will do more for the complexion,
; and without giving an oily, shiny,
( streaked, spotted or pasty appearance.
\ It is the Ideal application for the sea-
) son. as it not only keeps the pores
< clean, but dally removes particles of
< scarf skin which have been soiled by
/ dirt or weather. By constantly keep-
) ing the complexion clear, white and
{. satiny, it does more toward perpetu-
/ atlng a youthful countenance than
) any of the arts or artlflees common-
l ly employed One ounce of mercol-
) lxed wax. obtainable at any drug-
store, will completely renovate the
< worst complexion. It is applied at
S night like cold cream and washed off
\ In the morning
< To keep the skin from sagging or
\ wrinkling, or to overcome such con-

Longer Draperies Will Heighten
Effect of Women’s Costumes

LONDON. Aug 2. n spite of ro>al
protests and the protests of the puri
tanical, women’s skirtc are getting
tighter and more diaphanous, erht’o

longer draperies but these only ac
centuate their closeness to the figure
and the display of outline
For autumn wear these skirts are
being tailor-made and fastened down
the front, but leaving a space, shaped
like a large Inverted V. open at the
bottom. Dark colors, dove or suede
shades are to supersede the present
bright hues, while velvet and plush
will be seen in the more dre$«y cos
tumes.
With freer display of ankle a like
pxposure of neck is promised, bodices
being cut lower, both in back and
front.
A futurist effect is given by some of
the coming costumes, which have a
plain coat with a skirt of a loud check
pattern. In some cases this scheme is

Half a dozen different coatees or

robette, and endless variations can be
arranged with the Introduction of
finely embroidered sashes which pos
sess heavily fringed ends. The cor
sage portion of these robettes is quite
plain, almost like a fine corset cover.
It is made plain expressly; because
the great object is the introduction of
dainty lace and net blouses and pic
turesque coatees or mantlets. When
accompanied by a shady hat in leg
horn trimmed with pale roses and
black velvet ribbons, these little
dresses have a special cachet.
Many of the latest summer models
are almost entirely made of white
muslin, richly embroidered in the
openwork English style. These dresses
are accompanied by broad sashes and
short «-onts of real lace. The hats
worn with them are exaggeratedly

ways wide and the crown almost hid

are enjoying a surprising vogue at

The foundation of the hat is almost
lost sight of under the generous bow
of ribbon, w hich may be poised in the
front, at the side or In th' back. The
front trimmings are very well liked at
the present time, and a large bow
perched on the front of the hat will
have Icops shooting out at various an
gles. The very tall loop* at the back
of the hat have not been abandoned
by any means.
Vandal Disfigures
Painting in Salon
| Anquetin, Prominent Parisian Artist,
Believes Act Was Result of
Grudge Against Him.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS. Aug. 2.—An unknown per
son has, by an act of vandalism, dis
figured the portrait of a lady painted
by M. Anquetin. a prominent Parisian
artist, exhibited in the Salon of the
Societe National© des Beaux-Arts at
the Grand Palais.
The vandal waited almost for the
last day of the exhibition to perpe
trate his deed. The fact was discov
ered the day before the Salon closed,
and the painter was immediately in
formed. The portrait represents the
lady in decollete, and the neck was
scratched with a stylograph.
The artist believes that it was prob
ably done or suggested by someone
with a grudge against him, though he
did not know that ne had an enemy.
An inquiry has been started, which
so far has yielded no results. The
employees In the room where the pic
ture was exhibited had not noticed
the attempt, and they are at a loss
to explain how it was done.

reversed, the skirt being plain, while
the jacket is of loud checks.
It Is obvious that nothing but stress
of weather will make women cover
themselves completely again. They
are satisfied that they were never
more becomingly attired and never
before have their clothes attracted so
much attention from men; which is
conclusive proof of success.

Chicago Railways Orders Change to

CH1CA.GO, Aug. 2.—Officials of the
Chicago Railways Company announc
ed to-day that all new cars will have
steps three inches nearer the ground
for the convenience of the women
passengers, who protfuted against the
high steps because of the prevailing
vogue of narrow skirts.
The lower steps would necessitate a
new type of car. of which 200 have
been ordered.
NEW YORK, July 29.—Popularity
of the bathing beache3. notable this
year, has put the fashionable modistes
to thinking. They recognize that now
they will have to use me same in
genuity and originality in bathing
costumes as they do in evening
gowns. As a result some startling
sea dresses have been created.
Swimming in the summer results
in sunburn, whether the swimmer
stays in the water or merely takes
absent treatment on the beach, but
sunburn is not appreciated by young
women who will appear in evening
gowns during* the winter season.
So the dressmakers have created a
bathing suit with long sleeves and
the belles can noV swim and heed
not the sun’s rays. One of these suits
was seen recently at Southampton.
It was worn by Miss Louise Edey,
daughter of Albert R. Edey. An
other striking costume, indicative of
the masculinity that is so pronounced
in all fashions, was worn by Miss
Katherine Steele, daughter of Charles
Steele, and a sister of Nancy Steele,
the fiancee of Devereaux Milburn, the
hero of the American polo team. It
was of pantaloon pattern and after
its first appearance was adopted by
a number of the bathers.
Probably the most original bathing
suit, though, was seen at Long Beach
and was worn by Miss Marion Baker.
She calls it the “Highland Fling” suit
and she describes it pretty well with
that name. The suit is a plaid, while
the bare knees are shown between
th© tops of the stockings and the
skirt.
Diaphanous
iTOChS
Surely there Is no prettier picture
than that made by the young girl of
to-day in one of the fetching net
frocks. The hard, tight lines of a few
years ago have been banished by the
softer curves which are now allowed
to assert themselves in the corset
less. or apparently corsetless, figure
of the lithe young woman of these
happier days. The slouch, which
threatened to gain a certain vogue
earlier in the season, has fortunately
not become popular, and the girl who
would be considered chic holds her
self erect with a natural grace sug
gestive of perfect health and a well
proportioned body. The gown, wheth
er made of lace, net or chiffon, is
mounted over a foundation of silk or
charmeuse. with a veiling of net to
bring out the design of the lace, or,
in the case of net, to give a more
airy, diaphanous effect.

Have you noticed fetching bows of
satin peeping through the lace of
lingerie blouse? These bows have
a deeper purpose than that of deco
ration. Pretty as they are, they are
constantly giving forth a delicious
fragrance, for each of the padded
loops Is scented with sachet pow
der. The sachet used Is scented
with one of the popular bouquet
odors, and Is particularly lasting.
There are stunning roses scented
with the same fragrance which add
an effective bit of color to any cos
tume when thrust carelessly through
the sash or belt. These roses are
made of satin and have the long stem
and foliage. The scent, the shape
and the color make them an excellent
imitation of the real thing.

splendid material equipment, and the educa
tional facilities of the college are the results
of unceasing efforts to realize a high educa
tional standard.
'T'HE college has not been used as a means
of satisfying personal ambition nor to
amass wealth. It is the embodiment of a need
—a fine college for women where the girls ,of
the South may secure an adequate education
without leaving their section.
'T'O the attainment of this has been devoted
-L not only the energies of capable men and
women, but every surplus dollar also lias been
turned back into the college for its improve

A S a result Brenau has become one of the
most individual and most thoroughly ef
ficient colleges in the South, and has estab
lished itself a leader in progressive educa
tional movements.
