When Traveling.
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 will seriously l ijak the skin, the face should be cleansed at least twice a day with eotd cream and a little of the w»sh
carried along. For the last benzoin will be found excellent, a teaspoonful of this in half a cupful of water supplying quite a good face bath. Pour the diluted benzoin on a soft bit of rag and go over all the face with wiping movement, doing this after the skin has been first cleansed with cold cream. After the face has dried, powder as usual. In place of the benzoin It is possible to employ orange-flower 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 scorch the skin after awhile.
