A well supplied vanity box, which is still light enough to be carried about in the suit case or hand bag, IS about the most precious thing the woman traveller can take along with her
 Many young ladies who have learn- ed the economical tricks of beauty buy theatrical makeup boxes for the holding of the cosmetics and soft lit, tie rags that they will need, the girls getting these empty and fitting them up as they see fit. One will buy charming little celluloid boxes-the sort called "Parisian ivory for pow der, rouge, nail paste, forehead plas- ters, and so on. putting the liquids she will require into bottles as dainty Another will make use of any small cardboard boxes in convenient sizes she has on hand, employing ordinary Vlals, old or new, for the liquids For the makeup rags, which are indispen- sible, tops of old white stockings are used, fine old handkerchiefs, bits of Silk undervests, etc, and the maid who understands travelling will never fail to fasten all the tops of the boxes on with a rubber band.
 Now travelling by land and sea have differing consequences, but both meth ods of transportation threaten enough hurt for the complexion to make complexion cream and skin wash most valuable things to have in the vanity box. Then as many young women are unaware of the fact that the soap supplied travellers is never of the best sort, and that sometimes there is none at all, would advise in- ! cluding cake of some familiar sort. Grease paint is better, too, for travel ing use than the dry sort, this hurting the skin less and keeping on better, : and For powder I would suggest lit tie scented talcum, which could be sewed up for convenience into a little cheesecloth bag. Or if one is used to powder leaves, and knows that the face must first be cleansed with one and then powdered with fresh ones, a book of these would be still more convenient.
 Dust is inevitable with travel by train, and as it is not always, possible to obtain the means of a face bath and if left on long the dust fwill seri ously hurt the skin, the face should be cleansed at least twice day with cold cream and little of the wash carried along. For the last benzoin will be found excellent, teaspoonfu Of this in half cup of water supply ing quite good face bath. Pour the. diluted benzoin on a soft bit of rag and go over all the face with wiping movements, doing this after the skin has been first cleansed with cold cream. After the face has dried, pew. der as usual
 In place of the benzoin it is possi. ble to employ orange-f1ower water or alcohol-or any good cologne or toilet water-for taking off the grease after the cream cleansing, or even for the soil itself, but it is never wise to use too much of any of these things, as they all scorch the skin after while.
 Upon arrival anywhere the face should be washed immediately with warm water and a bland soap, and since one cannot count always on soft water a small box of borax would be another precious adjunct for the van. ity box. Dust, by the way, is curious ly destructive to the delicacy of the skin infiaming it and sometimes set ting so deeply into the pores that blackheads ensue. The hygienic soaps Of French manufacture are all good, these being healing as we'll as cleans ing to the skin. Old castillo is an- other good soap more easily procur- able, as it can be found in every drug store and in many little country groceries
 The injuries of the sea trip come through the influences of salt air and wind, many complexions taking on sudden eruptions or tanning badly. Sometimes the pimples come from neglect of the bowels. as salt air is constipating to some constitutions; so little box of some mild l. .ative could be included in the supply of beautifiers. Take one of these every night as long as is necessary, and help the good work along by taking warm sea bath every day. If your eyes are used to glasses keep them , on, for you will be more susceptible to seasickness if you leave them off
 For protecting the skin from wind burn. prepare it before putting on the powder with cold cream, rubbing this we'll down into the pores and wiping off the surplus. Wear a red-brown veil on the ships deck. or when talk Ing the little boat sail, as this color is about the only one that will resist the tanning agents of Dame Nature; but if you can go without the veil without serious injury to your skin, do so, as air just air itself, is one of the body's most important beautifiers.
