''You see these lines, they are called
age lines. They should be dissipated
The tissues of your face are wasted and
should be built up The muscles are re
Taxed and must be given strength Your
cheeks are very hollow; the plumpness
is all gone"
The bright little woman who had rat
tied off all this and who looked about 2S
though she says she is ever so much older
stepped off and looked at me with her
| head a little on one side, as a bird re
CARDS you at times.
''Ah, when you smile l see decided
| crows feet about the eyes (my heart
gave great leap; that was a cruel state

In the same way that l know | can

'Must take the full course? Could

apron was fastened under my chin, and

as it was washed hygienically. Madam
wore a soft red silk skirt with a fall of
black lace over it, the bodice was cut V

work she slips on a dainty cambria apron
and pins back the sleeves, leaving the
snowy arms free from covering
Fully ten minutes were occupied in

water, after which the face was dried and

She laughed merrily 'Indeed they

Don't you use cosmetics2"

Leaving the muscles of my cheek she
attacked the lines about my eyes and the
burrows around my mouth, rubbing them
this way and that way, giving a pinch
here and a slap there without bruising
the flesh or irritating the skin.

with one stroke of the hands, carried my
