least attractive, have become ooarse OF

homeIy. Motoring in itself. however,
is not q beauty destroyer; 1t is the ex-
cess OF the pastime that IL perntcious.
Moderate motoring. by improving health
and the capacity for sleep. enhances a
woman's charm, but the hardened tour

coarsens her skin, ard gets crows feet

womanly contour and gains hardness
and determination. OF course the same
Is true of many outdoor sports INDUCED
in TO excess, but no other sport possesses
such talismans against beauty loss as
lie in mask and goggles. Some devoted
motorians fly in the face Of Providence
by refusing to wear even a veil, and
their punishment in loss of loneliness Is
out Of all proportion 10 their sins and
negligence Of automobile appliances
for preserving beauty.
