sums it up in four lines when he

Gin pose womens minds, like their

New York, Sept. 18.-Perhaps the
most surprising fact regarding the troll
lev trip between New York and Boston
is that so many people are taking it,
these inspiriting autumn days. The
Journey via the line of peoples auto
mobiles is becoming popular and much
frequented. One starts over the route
of 254 miles feeling very much like
the traveller who was the first that
ever burst into an unknown sea only
to discover on the first day out that

True the line between the two cities is
not even yet an unbrOken one-as
seemingly it should be between the
two largest centers of population on
the western continent. There is still
a little gap of six and one-half miles
in Connecticut to the north Of New
Haven where one must take the train,
hire a carriage or go it afoot. Yet de-
spite this little interruption in the
glorious zip, the trolley-tripper is ev-
erywhere. Each car going in either di-
rection seems to have at least
through passenger or two; young men

autumn air and wonders regarding ev.

it holds out the promise of a square

Then there is everywhere the local
history, a bore to read up in dry-as-

MIRRORS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT.
The pleasant Greenish Tinge They
Give the Complexion.

ST. Louis Globe-Democrat-"The
best mirrors are not always infallible
refectors of the faces which peer
anxiously into them," F. De Donate
asserts, "and because a girls COM
plexion may appear sallOw in mir
ror, let her not worry herself sick in
thinking that she is so afflicted natur-
ally, for in nine cases out of TENT is
the mirror that is at fault, that is de-
liberately uttering an untruth to the
girls face. The average mirror has
slightly greenish tinge. The cheap

liarity, and even in a costly glass it is
not always absent, and t is this very
color tone that plays the trick and
makes many girl think she is lacking

body has, doubtless, observed how
CHASTITY green light makes people ap-
pear on the stage or anywhere else,

very much less in strength in the mir

by it's greenish tinge.
cit is a remarkable complexion, in
deed, that would be mirrored back

The green makes the complexion look
sallow, destroys those rich, medium
purplish tints and most of the high
lights that contribute so much to the
beauty of the face and gives it a sort
of sickly appearance. 1t accentuates
the slightest trace of yellowness and
makes it stand out as though it were a
hideOus defect, when, as a matter OF
fact, it may be the mere suggestion
that is hardly discernible to the naked
eye at all. 1t also renders some shades
of hair rather odd looking by touch,

Many person, as well, has looked
closely at their eye in mirror and
thought there was a trace of green
eyes, especially people with blue or
gray there, when in reality it is only
the tinge in the mirror caught by
some yagrant bits of bright light and

tell the truth, especially the cheaper
