Preserve compIexion.

Before going out in the hot sun and
wind smear over the face a small
quantity of cream and powder. mere
" enough to cover it without being
perceptible. on returning to the house
put on a large quantity of cold cream
and rub thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Never wash the face after it has been
exposed to the sun and wind, as water
irritates the slight burn and spoils a
good complexion.
A veil of the thinnest mesh or of
chiffon is a protection against the
weather. If a woman desires to pre-
vent wrinkles and freckies she never
should venture out without a veil OF
some sort. A Frenchwoman never
would think of going without a veil,
and the English woman carries a par
asol. We are the only ones who
treat our compilations carelessly. be-
cause for several years. it has been
the tad for women to look athletic
at any cost. and like everything else
we Americans overdoj lit.

GOOD ADVICE TO
MAID AND MARION
Keep Young.

Keep Young.
A woman can make OF. mar her at
tractiveness.- She can by an utter dis
regard of hygienic laws and a neglect
of toilet accessories lose entirely that
charm of face and form that nature
obviously intended should be hers. a
few drops of soothing lotion will
transform pair of rough hands into
soft ones: systematic care Of the COM
nlexion will keep It smooth and ward
ofr wrinkles. ana an eagerness TO read
clever books end to know things and
lively interest in the current events
Of the day win brighten the eyes as
nothing else can. The woman possess
ing this knowledge, is far more charm
ing and attractive than she in whose
path no beautifying whims ever have
come. And the woman who applies
the knowledge is the one who will de-
velop into the entertaining, interest
ing grandmother of the next gener-
alton as dainty and useful as was the
mother Of the past generation.
Evening journal., 1907-08-22

The girl who would be dainty per-
haps had better take a peep into her
room. Are your shoes peeping from
under a carelessly made bed? Is the
wee corner of a rug kicked up? Are
the curtains white and fresh looking?
Is your dresser scarf soiled and lit
tered? Are the drawers partly open,
revealing confusion within. and are
there any little threads of hair at
tached to the carpet or floor cover
ing? Perhaps not the whole list, but
a few. or one.
Evening journal., 1907-08-22
What paintiness Means.

Look around you as you ride in the
streets cars. Is one girl in fifty
dainty?
Not one in a hundred; not one in
fifty is perfectly neat. and but a small
number are even clean and wholesome
looking.
To be clean is not TO be dainty; but
tons off. placket gaping, skirt and
waist divorced-even absolute cleanli-
ness does not atone for these.
Neatness is not daintiness. Then is
daintiness equivalent to taste? Hard
". Daintiness is none of these and
vet embraces them all-taste neatness
and cleanliness, and something more
--lightness.

THEY WANT THE MONEY.

The surrender yesterday by The rail-

ton OF one thing.
Given the right to extract coin from the
public purse according to the prompt
ines OF their avarice, the railroads care
not what else happens to them.
This was the significance OF the action
at Carson yesterday when attorneys rep

waived opposition TO all the provisions
OF the Act except that relating to maxi
mum rates. They are perfectly willing
