vice-Th. Most Effective Way
OF Sleeping

Ira young man with 81 bunch of VIC.
let's in his buttonhole presents himself at
your door and exhibits card describing
himself as "face manipulation of her grace
the Lady william Beresford," do not dis
miss him with harsh words. You may,
through the sister of your brother-in laws
aunt know that Lady Beresford has long
since had superintendent of her toilet,
who looks after the maids and masseuses
Of the household AS the man has good
ideas and has advised other beauties con-
corning their looks, he is worth listening
to, even II the Beresford part Of 1t Is apoc-
ryphal.
1.-THE principal cause of wrinkles" says
this man, who, though badly wrinkled
himself, knows all about tho oreases Of
the face, lis in a faulty way Of sleeping.
II women would sleep right, they would
never have wrinkled foreheads.
almond Eyes and Butterfly That Sips
the Morning Dew" knows more about com
plexions than the sweet young mans
whole family. Probably you do not know
who Almond Eyes, etc., Is and may
not, therefore, feel full faith in her infal-
libility, but when you know that she was
the champion middleweight beauty of
Canton, Picking and Shanghai and was
chosen because Of the clearness of her COL
or and complexion to be the third wife of
the young emperor you may DO disposed
to profit by her experience. Mrs. Kwong
Suey, nee Miss Almond Eyes, etc., never
slept on n pillow in her life. Instead she
places under her neck when she retires
rounded block Of perfumed wood and In
this way not only avoids rumpling her
satiny burnt ivory skin In tho wrinkles Of
d down cushion, which has boon RESPONSE
BILE for the misfortunes Of nine-tenths OF
western beauties, but also preserves the
elaborateness Of her coiffure, and man
would have to get up carly In the morn
ing indeed to catch this lady In curl
papers.
This matter Of soft pillow may seem
like joke, but when you find the little
lines between your eyes and at their oor-
ners persistently refusing to be rubbed out
you may listen to the voice Of this latter
day prophet, who raises his warning finger
to savo you from u dreadful fate. Tho soft
pillow is only matter of habit anyway
Throw 1t aside and substitute good, stiff
support like hairoloth, pine needles, bran
or seeds, and you will very soon find that
1t is vastly moro comfortable than down.
There was another lady in the far cast
who had to drown herself to avoid being
the chosen one Of the old bashaw Of Korfo-
dan. She attributed the glory Of her
complexion, which brought her the name
of Down Among the Palm Trees, to her
use Of a skin pillow filed with perfumed
water. She was originally camel drivers
daughter and got into the habit while
travelling with tho caravan Of pillowing
her delicious head on the filled wine skins
Soft pillows will wrinkle any face.
Take the cheek Of baby and zee how full
Of creases 1t is after nap on pillow Of
down. Lay the child's head comfortably
upon Its afghan or on roll Of cloth, and
it will sleep as we'll, run no danger of
smothering and awake without wrinkles
in its soft little skin.
The most effective way Of sleeping is to
rest the head upon the pillow, but not sup
ported by the hand and arm, and always
on firm, hard pillow. This posture has
the sanction of all who have made study
between the relation Of complexion and
sleep. This Is not difficult to do. Indeed
1t Is the most comfortable Of all sleeping
attitudes after one gets used to 1t. Al one

every girl that comes there brings along
satin pillow stuffed with down. Before
many days she will use that for . foot

Deprived OF tho down. the bellies that

They are likely to complain Of the rigid
ness of the discipline but they thank their
preceptress before they are through with
life There is another rule in that semi
nary that makes young cheeks blnnch at
first-no girl Ia permitted to eat candy be-
tween meals. They can have all the choc-
olates and creams they want for dessert at
dinner but at no other time. This rule
enforces Of itself moderation In tho con-
| sumption of candy aud works miracles In
the complexion line.

Nine. Fare, whose forehead developed ~

lists, and in vain she advised with her
maid. One evening at reception madam
was talking with noted oculist. ma
dame is very beautiful" said the ooulist,
"but what would you do II were to tell
! you something that would make you
many times moro lovely"
II should adore you forever, said tho
beautiful Nine. Faro.
"Then, madame" replied the ooulist,
"wear spectacles when you read: ven-
ture to say that by tho time you have nm
ished your morning newspaper that little
wrinkle upon your brow Is deep fur-

A little trouble with the eyes Is the
cause Of Ellen Terry's furrow, which IL
considered becoming to her.
AS rule, though, the way OF sleeping
Il responsible for ugliness or beauty, ii
the word of those who have studied looks
can be weighed. Amelie Rives Chanler,
now the Princess Troubetskoi, regards tho
way of sleeping all important. Her
method Of sleeping her beauty sleep is to
begin an hour before she goes to bed with
a bath in cool cologne water, deepening to
chilled water more highly perfumed than
tho first. The alcohol ceanses the skin
