BEAUTY CULTURE IN THE TROPICS.
That much talked of and most elusive thing called beauty-how all women envy it and, strive after it! And yet how few women in this tropical climate give up even half an hour every day to real beauty culture. Many spend quite an amount of time doing up" their faces, but how few take the trouble to "undo" "them.
It stands to reason that beauty treatments that are suitable for the culd English climate are not always practicable in the tropics. For in- stance, cream can never be left on the face at night.

The discomfort and heat on hot night of retiring to rest with a. face covered in grease would be unbearable. The best time to use cream in this country is in the morning. Massage the face well Rith a good skin food, always using an upward motion. Massage very gently round the eyes with rotary movement, using only the finger tips. Remove the cream with a soft towel, then wash the face with a good toilet soap and warm water. It is a mistaken idea that soap injures the skin. It does not if cream is used first and the soap in absolutely pure and well rinsed off in clear warm water. The face should then be treated with skin tonic. which should be allowed to dry before powder or "make up' is applied. Never une too much day cream of the vanishing order. in this country. It is apt to thicken and clog the pores of the skin. Just a little lionid day cream to make the powder cling is quite sufficient.
If rouge is used it should be of the cream or liquid variety. Dry rouge also clogs the pores and often looks patchy if the face becomes heated. Liquid lip salve is also the best, as it spreads evenly and smoothly on the lips. Rest is one of the most important of all beauty nida in this country. Most women "lie off" in the afternoons, but how few really rest their faces. Give the face a chance to rest, Take off every particle of powder and "make up" with a good clean- sing cream. Remove all traces of cream with a soft, towel and pat the face with skin tonic. Make little cool pads of cotton wool dipped in cold water and the tonic and put them over the eyes. Uprkén the room, and shut out the light but not the air. Lie down and relax, let the raind be a blank, rest the entire body. If this is done faith- fully for only half, an hour every day it is worth while..

The strain on the eyes in this country, where there is a perpetual glare, is much greater than home Wrinkles form round the cyce if we are not careful and the eyee themselves become strained and bloodshot. Never neglect the eyea-those bright mirrors of the soul that reflect for ever our inmost thoughts. It mouths are the in- dicators of character, eyes are most surely the recorders of age. Time dims the brightness of our eyes but we can fight time by artificial
means.
The daily eye bath should never be forgotten and the eyes should always be protected from the sun out of doors by dark glasses." In the tropics ice is not beneficial to the complexion unless used very sparingly. It is too drastic Be change after the heat for most skins. Cold water dashed on the face may be used with good results after bathing it with warm water.
At home many benuty specialists discourage the use of water on the face, but in this hot climate it is absolutely essential to freshness, Regularity is the most important thing to remember: It is no good doing beauty treatment for a week and then forgetting it. A woman's beauty need never suffer materially because she lives in the tropics if ale will devote jast a little time regularly every day to its culture.

But surely moddom can drive in any smart little hat," she objected, as she firmly cut away all the brim from immediately above my left eyebrow. And she looked at me in polite but settled disbelief when I intimated that moddom couldn't- or, any rate, wouldn't, having too much regard for her safety and her looks.

Unsuitable for Driving Any hat which is brimless in front is unsuitable for driving. This applies more particularly in summer, but it is a good rule for the whole year round.
Lots of us wear hats like that nearly all the time, and most of us wear them occasionally; and with out,, as far as we can see, coming to any harm. But the brimless hat in summer ie a constant source of danger.
On a hot day it allows the sun and rond glare to beat full into the eyes and the effect is both dazzling and stupefying."
Driving in a brimless hat also has a cumulatively disastrous effect upon the wearer's looks! Eyes continually screwed up heat and glare soon lese much of against their beauty, and produce unneces sary wrinkles and a strained, bard

THE CHILD'S CHOICE IN "EDUCATION.
"PROJECT METHOD" IN
AMERICA.
Dr. R. B. Raup, speaking recent- ly to members of the New Educa- tion Fellowship and others on "The psychological basis of the project method," covered himself against possible criticism from the English point of view by saying at the out- set "I know nothing of England."
As an account of the newer me- thods in American schools his lec- ture was full of suggestive thought, tracing as it did the development "of the so-called "project method" in education from the paychological systems of Professor W. H. Kilpatrick and Dr. John Dewey "as nearly indigenous a philosophy. as anything we have in America, and showing how this method re- quired the setting it has in that country, where it reflects the three- fold character of the American civilisation. Its democratic inclin- ation, its practical and technolo- gical bias, and its state of con- tinual change.
Pioneer and frontier, life, he pointed out, has produced people of independent mind and will, and the project method," which places the individual right at the centre of the educational system, emphasi- ses the importance of socially shar ed interests while allowing full play to the personality of the child. At the same time it insists that the personality of the learner is only to be encouraged when it really is his own, and, further, that he has a right to choose his own occupa tion only when he shows that he is. wholeheartedy engaged in that oc cupation.
Naturally, the principle of sub- stituting the choice of the child ar- rived at in co-operation with his teachers for a curriculum arranged. beforehand has been subjected to much criticism in America, But the system is gaining ground there. The lecturer met this criticism by pointing out that it "efficiency of the kind shown in examinations is not attained. the child, at all events, has not been robbed of his right to live whole, nor is cf- ciency demonstrated, in any case, by the amount learnt, nor is it true that most things are better learnt young, na William James maintain-
ed.
Dr. Raup's audience greatly ap- preciated being told that up to the age of fifty we are all paychologi- cally capable of learning new things, and they warmly applaud- ed his conclusion that the real.pro- blem of all educational systems is the discovery of the way to keep the value of living at the highest possible pitch. The "project me- thod," tempering freedom with reason, reducing external author- ity to a minimum, and allowing free play to a child's life-values, ains at reaching that perfect philosophy of life.
