Wrinkles are 20, entirely the marks Of

habiiual isueher will have wrinkles osr,

wrinkles between the eyes. But en hsbi'
tual grin or laugh on the lace produces
wrinkles more than sickness or disease.
The invalid Of many years will often have
smooth face unmarked With wrinkles.
This is due partly 10 the fact ,na, her
melancholy life prevents her from laugh

immobile face.
Wrinkles are often expressive Of M 10

face. The wrinkles which come from care,
trouble aud irritation are the only ones
which mar the face without giving any

her time and rots her OF her beauty.
