There is nothing SO destroying to the
peace of a pretty woman's soul as the
discovery of the first wrinkle in her
fair face. Gray hairs may be tolerated,
for often their framing softens the tints
of the complexion and adds new depth
and brightness to the eyes that flash
beneath them. and many pretty women
are never really beautiful until they
are crowned with the sheen of silver
tresses. The fading tints OF we'll
kept and smooth skin may be concealed
by articles that every wise woman
knows, but wrinkle is an obstinate,
disagreeable, aggressive witness that
leaves evidence of age in most un-
picturesque language as convincing as
the records of the family Bible or the
testimony of some old friend of your
nother's who is always telling every
one that you are ''just two years older
than her Johnny" when. perhaps, you
look ten years younger. There is no
such thing as conciliating wrinkle or
coaxing it out of sight on occasions, no
dressing it up in pretty disguises OF
gauze and frills; no one ever really ad-
mired it's curves or wrote sonnets to its
beauty; no one ever really longed for
it's coming or succeeded in banishing it
by a cool reception; it comes uninvitcd
and tarries unbidden, and settles more
contentedly into it's place as you fume
and fret over it.
Many remedies for the eradication
of wrinkles have been suggested by va
rious writer's on the subject of per-
sonal beauty, but the best and surest
cure for wrinkles is not to get them,
for they may be avoided more easily
than removed. Wrinkles are not always
the signs of age, but often the indices
of poorly cared-for skin, the nerv-
Gus temperament of their possessor,
the habit of excessive worrying or con-
tinuous study, and sometimes of the
degeneracy of the race. Italian chill
dren of five and six years often have
more wrinkles in their little faces than
a woman of thirty-fve ought to possess.
A skin that is carefully and frequently
bathed in warm water and pure soap,
and rubbed to glow all over once each
day with soft flannel, or the hands,
preserves its elasticity and is less sus-
ceptible to wrinkle. The modern Amer
lean woman has more cares and per-
plexities and worries than Caesar ever
dreamed Of If Alexander had had one
of the average nineteenth century serv-
ants to manage he would never have
sighed for new worlds to cong uer, since
, fresh developments would have awaited
, him every morning, but these cares

by expressing them in the face with

9 A very beautiful and youthful
n appearing society woman of New York
o the preservation of whose skin
remarked upon by her acquaintance
says that whenever she is going out i
the evening she prepares her toile
with the exception of her dress, wiring
y a wash cloth out of as hot water as sh
e can bear, smooths it out over her fac
Z so it will touch every part of it, an
I lies with it on her face for half a
e hour. When she removes it ever
u wrinkle and line has disappeared.
e An English lady over fifty assert
9 that her lack of wrinkles is due to th
/ fact of her having used very hot wate
n all her life, which tightens the ski
/ and smooths out the lines.
II Another celebrated beauty attribute
g her preservation to having never use
q a wash cloth or towel on her face, bl
L having always washed it gently wit
her hand, rinsing it off with a SO
:, sponge, drying it with soft cloth, an
, then rubbing it briskly with a fies
|, brush. She used CASTLE soap and vel
= warm water every night with col
y water in the morning, and if she wei
}: awake late at night she always slept ;
IS many hours in the day as she expects
le to be awake at night.
