Without sunlleht snd air ths healthiest plant would aoon die; what la true of tbe lant klnsnom la alao true or human te- nss.

It deprivation there is not anything unhealthy about It and slven sunshine and air will aoon grow strong and bloom luxuriantly. So It Is with many of th pale faced delicate looklnc. , women, they delude themselves with the Idea that te pre serve their complexion they must shut out the sunlight and exclude tbe air by the wearlns of heavy veils. - There are veila that can be worn- and are beautifler also but not bee miners In the accepted aenset -Thee veils ara thin gaus like mesh not oerrectiy Diain in desisn (nettlv er do they have the vie (on -annoying or destroying aotai mat win connne an in stray short hairs snd win slv to the wearer a well groomed look which to any mind Is beauty.
