CARE OF on BEAUTY
PLEASURE JAUNT
By Maria JeritZa

take with you on your journey
a generous supply Of cold cream,
either in tube or Jar. Cold cream
is a first aid and staunch friend
to the vacationist who wishes to
reap beauty benefits from her
holiday.
Cold cream makes a far more
efficacious and practical cleanser
while on journey than does
soap and water. BY its use you
avoid the roughened skin that
may follow the use Of hard water.
Carry also a small bottle, we'll pro-
tected from breakage, holding
some such astringent as SO per
cent alcohol, witch hazel or even
pure eau de cologne. With this
lightly sponge your face after its
cold cream bath. And you may
find 1t practical for cleansing
your face next morning.
Carry your own soap-a plen-
tiful supply-for you may not be
able to obtain the soap that
agrees best with your skin Just
when you need it most
While on a train Journey move
about from time to time when
the train stops and even walk UP
and down the platform in order
to get your accustomed exercise.
Take deep breathing exercises on
the car platform now and then.
Try to arrange by arising early
or retiring late a quick sponge
bath each day Of your trip. Even
though you may have to share a
dressing room with several other
women, you will learn how to &C.
complish the seemingly impossible
delicately yet efficiently.
Carry as light luggage as you
can but plan that a little carefully
in order that it may be suitable
to the environment and weather
that await you at your journeys
end. Avoid violent draughts.
There is always a way of enjoy
ing fresh air and the endless in.
terests Of outdoors without sub.
jecting oneself to direct draughts,
SCOT, and smoke.
Get your full quota Of sleep.
This will be easily possible II
you exercise and eat properly;
make yourself comfortable in
your berth and let yourself com.
pletely relax.

When I heard my little rabbit
say this, I knew he had good
reason to be frightened. 80 we
hurriedly retraced our steps back
to the open country.
We hadn't gone very far when
the saving grew louder and
louder. Bunny gave mo one look
and fairly leaped into my hand
as I tucked him into my pocket.
There was no other way for us
to go. We had to keep on the
path by which We had come. for
fear Of being lost.
Buzz, buzz, went the saw. and
with each buzz I could feel
Bunny tremble in my pocket.
Then a strange feeling came
over ne--that unmistakable feel
ing one has when someone or
something is looking at you and
you can't see 1t.
That feeling suddenly forced
me to look UP into the tree. At
first could see nothing. Then
as my eyes became accustomed
to the green leaves, with the
beams of sunlight sparkling
through, I nearly dropped in my
tracks, for what should I see.

It was the leopard who was

breathed deep in a rasping gasp.

stood before the mirror trying
