How to Remove or Prsv.nt These Un.
welcome Indicators Of Age.
There is nothing so destroying to the
peace of a pretty woman's soul as the
discovery of the first wrinxle 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
arc never really beautiful until they
are crowned with the sheen Of silver
tresses. The fading tints OF a well
kept and smooth skin may be concealed
by articles that every wise woman
knows, but a wrinkle Is an obstinate,
disagreeable, aggressive witness that |
leaves evidence of age in most un.
| picturesque language as convincing rs
the records of the family Bible or tho
testimony Of some old friend OF your
mothers 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 a wrinkle OF
coaxing it out Of sight on occasions, no
dressing it up in pretty disguises OF
gauze and frill !; no one ever really ad
mired its curves or wrote sonnets to its
beauty; no one ever really longed fol

by cool reception; it comes uninyited
and tarrics 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 u 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
Il woman of thirty five ought to possess
; A skin that is carefully and frequently
bathed in warm water and pure soap
and rubbed toa glow all over once eacl
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
