1 have received, during the past week,
two letters OF inquiry as to the benefit
To be derived from massage, and also a
letter asking if Turkish baths are harmful
Massage (Which has its derivation in the
Greek word masso-I kneadD is auexcelient
thing for invalids and for very thin women.

healthy women, and it is idle folly 10

RUBBING OUT WRINKLES.
Any woman who is willing to take the
time and who has the patience, can give
herself facial massage. Seat you rself be-
fore mirror so you can plainly see where
the lines are most distinct in your face
and just where the relaxed muscles of the
throat have caused the flabbiness so much

There are a number of appliances to be
procured for the obliterat ton of wrinkles
