Show FOR THE WOMEN WHO MOTOR To a western woman has been loft the solving of tho problem of the prop er nrotcction to clothes for tho woman enthusiast who does her own driving. This particular motorist has had made an auto coa.t of men's overall material, which completely envelops her, and sho can crawl under the car and apply a temporary bnndagc to a leak in the crank case with as little discomfort and soiling of clothos n3 a properly clad man. A tablespoon ful of raw oatmeal sewed in livo-inch bass of cheesecloth can easily bo carriod while motoring. . cood scrub with one of these in tc-nid tc-nid water, a very little cream rubbed on the face, lightly brushed with powder, pow-der, freshens one up aud keeps the skin in line condition. Tho oatmeal bags are to be thrown away after each usiug. Natural raw silk, not too coarse also makes good wash rags: and thoy have the merit of being easily carried. All the nibbing of tho face in bathing and drying should be upward. Tf tho skin is well Tttbbod with cold cream and powdered rathor thickly, it will generally come through the ordeal of a long motor trip without serious burn, ing. Neither bluo veils nor white ones are the least protection aeainst the sun, as the rays puss diroctlv through thorn. Kcd rciccts tho blue and violet rays, the rays that burn; thcrcforo u reddish brown" veil interposes an obstacle, and a red ono is wholly protective., Spotted and meshed veils are vcr.y injurious while motoring. Only thin chiffons should bo used. Never lose siht of the fact that the skin o the face is moro delicate than any otbor part of tho body and requires tho most care. n In these davs of rough winds the motorist mo-torist should be especially concerned lo keep hor body warm. Furs aro excellent, excel-lent, but there should always bo worn under the furs a warm carmen t that hugs tho bodj- closoly. This is provided provid-ed for in a novel quiltod silk .jacket.

The owner of a small runabout who has room for just one passenger beside him in tho front seat found that the pleasuro of his trips was spoiled whon he took his small child along, as his wife would either have to hold him in her lap or elso sit in tho rear of the car. whore they could not converse whilo traveling. Therefore he designed an extra seat beside tho wheel vaiich accommodates the Jittlo. chap very nicoly, and at the sume time keeps him within easy reach of the anxious mother. Spring winds are proverbially trying try-ing to tho skin aud eomploxion, so thai the greatest care and consideration are nccossary to counteract their ravages. Tho mqtorist particularlv ha occasion lo realize this. A simple rule, efficacious effica-cious in practically all cases, is as follows: fol-lows: At night rub a good cream lightly ovor the face, allowing it to remain for fivo minutes; then wash it off in hot water, dabbing it on with a soft cloth, and apply more cream, to remain on over night. Tn tho morning bathe tho face in hot water and soap, rinsing in clear hot water; then douse thoroughly with cold water. The al-i al-i iernating hot and cold water has the i enlivening effect of electricity. Chi-cago Chi-cago Auto Club Journal. |
