Il The accounts of this new method Of
celebrating the footprints of time on
1.-The human countenhnGeps ays the New
York World, come from afar-from the
land of the chrysauthemum-and are as
follows:
-'1 The Japanese have beautiful eyes,
but this is not patent to the casual OBJ
server, who is impressed by the odd ex-
preston impaired by the slanting lids
and generally fails to perceive that the
orbs beneath nre full and soft and slus-
.trous. Habitual exercise of the, facial
muscles, as in the case of an actor or
orator, does much to modify this OBJ
liquity, as appears from the fact that
members of these classes in Japan are
literally wider eyed than the rest of
their countrymen.
Observation of this led certain Ger
man surgeon. who is resident of
Tolsio, into field of experiment, where
he finally discovered a, new method of
dealing with wrinkles. 81
He found that by pinching up little
plait of skin below the outer corner of
the eyelids of his slant-eyed subjects
the lids could be drawn down. to the
proper level and made to open more
widely. Then he cut out this little
patch and joined the edges by couple
of stitches and covered the slight wound
with sticking plaster. , .'.' -
It. healed, leaving no scar. Every
thing desired of the operation had been
attained. Then 1.-THE fame of it spread
abroad in the city.
- The nations of the east, like the an
clients, whose gods and goddesses We're
described as ''ox-eyed," consider round
orbs a chief beauty, and Immediately
several Japanese bellies fastened to
avail themselves of the skill which
could in this way enhance their charms.
This stimulated general interest, and
by and by an Englishman, who had
dried up and shrivelcd good deal
about the eyes in that climate and who
wanted to go home docking as youthful
as the gods would permit and marry q
young girl in England, conceived the
notion of trying the same means to
smooth out his puckered visage.
Knife and scissors did their swift
work. The operation was beautiful
success and has since been tried on
several other Europeans up to date to,
obviate the same disagreement, with
perfectly satisfactory results
1t certainly seems strongly probable
that so soon as this method is intro
duced it will become extremely popu-
lar in this country, where the bright
and breezy climate alternately smitcs
( and duzzles our eyes until the muscles
of the face are drawn like shirring
strings and wrinkles thereby made
the portion of young and old alike.
1t is not reported that the stitches
leave no trace on the face of Europeans.
Probably n slight mark does remain.
The Japanese are VIGOROUSLY pure
: blooded people whose wounds are said
s. heal with phenomenal rapidity. and
u is not at all strange that no seam
shows where the skin patch is removed
from their faces. But, even IL we are
less fortunate and small scar remains,
it isn't SO much of a Disagreement as q
perfect cobweb of creases about the
eyes, and doubtless the American mind
will incline readily to the idea of gorine
for wrinkles.
