COmmonseose Rules of Society Lady
Who Uses No Cosmetics.
Women who wish to preserve their
youthful appearance and to avoid those
talebearers of age, wrinkles, should pay
attention to their mode of taking rest
In the first place, the soft, downy pill
lows, which seem to WOO repose by their
Inviting appearance should be strictly
avoided; and round, long hair pillow,
placed under the nape of the neck after
the fashion of the little wooden blocks
used by the japanese women, should
be employed. These blocks are hol.
lowed out to fit exactly the nape of the
neck, so that the elaborate headdress OF
the Japanese girls may not be disturb.
ed, for it is not an easy matter to ar.
range the smooth bands of hair which
form the chief ornament of Japanese
woman's toilet, and they are seldom
taken down.
A correct position of the body Id
sleeping should also be observed, and
the most perfect rest is obtained by
lying on the back. Care should be
taken to have the chest slightly raised
and the shoulder blades flattened
against the back The hair pillow then
placed under the neck will throw the
head slightly back, raising the chin,
and thereby giving needed rest to the
muscles of the face, particularly those
around the mouth and eyes, and the
formation of lines under the chin will
be lessened. 1t is a very bad habit to
sleep with the mouth open, as it not
only stretches the muscles at the side
of the mouth, but is also extremely bad
for the teeth when the slightest acidity
of the stomach prevails.
Of course, as the face reflects the
emotions of the mind, those muscles
which are most frequently used leave,
in becoming relaxed, ineffaceable lines
1t is well, therefore, If one must have
wrinkles, to take care that they shall
be pleasant ones. The habit of wrinlS-
ling the forehead is q very common
fault Some people can not talk with
out distorting the face in the most hor-
rible manner, thinking that this gives
greater emphasis to what they are say
ing. This is q mistake, and it would
be we'll if these people could have a
mirror suspended before them for one
day, SO that they would become aware
how greatly they detract from their ap-
pearance by so doing
We find that people of phlegmatic
temperament retain their youth longer
than those of a nervous, excitable dis
position. Do not hurry or worry, and
thereby allow that ugly little scowl to
become fixed between your eyebrows,
Things taken quietly will soon arrange
themselves. Cultivate, therefore, re-
, pose of mind and manner.
Eat regularly and not too much.
Battle every day and change the gar
ment next the skin very frequently
Take plenty of outdoor exercise.
Wash the face with hot water and
pure palm oil soap at night; rinse with
cold water to restore healthy tone tc
the skin.
Battle the neck and shoulders occa
S sionally with alcohol to keep the flesl
. firm and hard, also the arms.
Do not wear the same veil very long
as the dust settles in it and will injurt
, the complexion.
Try to preserve a happy, contentet
disposition, and you will he beautiful
: even though an old woman. -Bostor
