,termined to see this Creole doctor who
had succeeded where Ponce de Leon
so signally failed. Knocking on the
door at the further end of the court a
small, neatly-dressed, middle!Aaged
looking man, with hair streaked with
gray, but face as smooth al a
youths, admitted me into a wellfur-,
nishod, canary-bird-like parlor, ind

| smiled. The patient he referred to
was not, 1 thought, altogether unknown
to me.
"But you wish to know the process"
continued the doctor. ''It is so simple
the wonder to me is that it is not more
generally practiced. Here you see all
the instruments required" throwing
open a cabinet in which lay a number
of sharp and highly-pol:shed surgical
instruments.
"Wlth these instruments and q COM
nonsense knowledge of the causes of
faded youth, the whole matter is. in a
nutshell. The first approach of age, as
you have doubtless observed is by
wrinkles and what are commonly
termed crows feet that form around
the eyes. They are slight at first, but
grow deeper and deeper. The next
attack is near and Just above the cor
ners of the mouth, as shown in this col
iored plate. You can see what a bag
gard, and therefore old, appearance is
conveyed to the face by these two lines
running obllquely down from each cor

kle on the brow, then the last sign of
age, the wrinkled and faded neck. IT
these lines and marks lend an appear
ance of age. their absen" e. it follows as
a matter of course, will do away with
that appearance, and give, instead,
youth. How, then, can we abolish these
wrinkles? They are caused by tlabbi-
ness of the skin and facial muscles. I
apply a common-sense cure. The dress
maker whose dress is a trife too long
or baggy takes out a piece. The skin is
too long and baggy. 1 do as the dress
maker-I cut out q piece-take out q
loop, as it were.

compromising.
"Not at all doubtful. and attended
with very little pain. For instance, in
removing crow s-feet. Drawing the
skin back tight at the ear, with these
sharp scissors |, at that point where the
seal will be concealed by the hair, cut
out a narrow strip. Then sew the two
edges together with a fine needle and it
is done. The skin lies tight around the
eyes, as smooth as marble. OF course,
where a patient has wrinkles in her
brow, on the neck, around the mouth
and other places it takes longer and'is
attended with more inconvenience, but
the principle is the same in all. by
taking out a strip behind each ear and
pulling the skin back tight l can give q

weeks ago a young girl anne to be

were so deep, and the skin so fabby,

varying in lengths. Sometimes, if
the skin is sewed too tightly, it breaks
within a few months, but a case proper

Last week l saw a lady whose neck 1

still in very fair condition. After that
length of time, however, it is generally

Certainly. They are treated pre-

other than those of wrinkles and marks
manifest themselves, and thus render
it unnecessary to conceal in one respect
what's so apparent in all others. AS
