A RAILROAD COMPLEXION. Practice of Hiding Back and Forth with Face Unprotected Damaging Damag-ing to Good Looks. "Mercy, no; I novor bothor with a veil," sho said. As sho sjitd It, sho rubbed hor handkerchief briskly over her fnco with tho tip of ono linger. And tho kerchief enmo off black! Now, sho thought, when she thoroughly scrubbed thnt face she would get all tho dust and grlmo out of tho pores. But why got It In, In tho first plnco? Thoro Is no prnctlco moro damaging to good looks thnt tho habit of riding back and forth on railway trains or through dusty city streots with tho dellcato skin of tho faco oxposod to all tho soot and grlmo In tho air, eays the Philadelphia Bulletin. Careful women novor do it. Thoy always wear, when travollng, a plain chiffon veil not ono of fancy or laco or mesh, mind you, but n close-woven veil for real protection. This is tied ovor tho hat, drawn snugly undor tho chin nnd fastened llrmly to tho back of tho hot. It has n cortaln trim air, but tho most important thing Is tho service It rondors In saving tho fnco from acquiring ac-quiring nn unnecessary and appalling amount of dirt, Tho complexion bo protected will stay fresh and cloan many moro years. Particularly should tho business woman wom-an who rides back nnd forth Into tho city dally ndopt this precaution, lost sho And herself tho unhappy possessor of "tho rond comploxlou." '
