Monde and brunette, thin skins and heavy

afiicted with this brand of nerve uncontrol.
The effect is in every case damaging to
the looks of the unfortunate owner. It en-
trely alters the expression. 1t discounts
the value of an otherwise enormous supply
n beauty. 1t ages every face by five to if
teen years. 1t is really astonishing, in this
day Of active personal improvement, when
80 much attention is being given to the
reservation and repair of personal charms,
that woman should show themselves 80 re-
gardless OF this important feature.
Is it a matter that is within their power
10 prevent or cure! Most certainly. When
woman takes a seat she whisks aside the
nanel of silk or velvet that she may not sit
on it, for she knows that continued or severe
pressure of pieces together will produce
creases All wrinkles are but creases Of the
skin, caused by repeated pressure of the
folds together. It is as much in ones power
to prevent this folding together as it is to
prevent walking, talking, smiling, or-sit-
ling on a piece of silk drapery. Observe
women in conversation together; they can
not speak two sentences without drawing
the brows more or less fiercely together ele-
waiting them or comforting the face in some
way, supposed to add impressiveness to the
thought.

"Tbey show the words mean something"
Some such idea underlies, no doubt, the
underscoring of words in writing and the
showers of mods and grimaces in converse
ton for which the sweet sex is noted.

for it Is only on rising in the morning that
the corrugations appear, and when she ties
ribbon tightly over her brows at night
they do not appear at all. Whatever the
cause, the effect is the same.
Some women are more predisposed to
wrinkles than others, and must be more
careful. Some wrinkles are quite tenn
porary, and may be readily removed. Thin
skins make sharp, thin lines; thick skins
wide, heavy folds.
At party the other evening l studied the
face OF one Of those exceptional women who,
although she is the mother of a married
daughter, has not one, line of any descrip-
ton on her forehead or around her eyes or
mouth. | noticed that it was not because
she did not express emotion, but that no
lines whatever were made by any motion.
Usually when people smile the raising Of the
cheek produces a little web of wrinkles
around the corners of the eyes. This draw

much she laughed, or however much the
skin was pushed up" the cheek remained
perfectly smooth. This, however, is a born
blessing which few possess.
KATE CHASE HASN'T A LINE.
The famous Kate Chase-Sprague is a
notable example Of woman who
has not a line in her face, though
the faces Of many women her junior
by many years are beds of maps
and wrinkles. She is, too, a woman Of
more than ordinary emotional disposition,
and who surely had variety of experience
such as few women can boast. l watched
her in animated conversation with gen.
tleman few days ago, and noticed that
and shade of passing thought, it was done
with little, if any, movement of the skin or
feature. but rather by the expressing of
thought under the skin--the glow of recog~
milton, flash or darkening of the eyes, an
imperceptible eurving of the lips. but never
agrimace. Yet no one could enjoy the elo-
quent animation of her beautiful face less
