The "wattles" for instance indicate
a weakening of the muscles of the

early an age as %. The cheek muscles
between cheek bone and lower law
bone, begin about the same time to

from ear to chin becomes a gradually

place the hands under the chin, bend

firm pressure upward and outward in
opposite directions to the ears.
Similarly but with lighter touch, rub
the cheeks from jaw to ear and the
forehead from nose to hair. There is a
new toilet article-a massage roller
which is a great aid in this operation,

that the secret lies in a remark made
in my hearing when l was not more

speaking of some woman they knew,
She makes up we'll, but her mouth
gives her away. You can always tell a
woman's age by her mouth. 1t gets a
settled look, so to speak; the teeth
are apt to be closely set together in
repose, creating lines where dimples
used to be-
"He was a man of the world and an
acute observer, so that I remembered
his words and thought of them a good
deal Finally I came to the conclusion
that if a woman watched that particu-
lar expression and refused to allow rig
idity about the muscles of the mouth,
she would escape that tell tale witness
as she grew older. / observed myself
carefully and was surprised to notice
the exact truth of the mans assertion.
I could feel my mouth settling into
rigid lines on ordinary occasions, and
compelled myself to relax them at
once"
Here the visitor interposed: THAT is
it exactly. l can see, now, that it is in
your mouth that the youthfulness lies
It is Just as soft and red and curVing
as when you were a school girl with a
mouth we all envied. There are little
lines at the eyes, my dear, though not
nearly as deep as mine, but no one
could think of them with that girlish
mouth below!'

think of the subject, her efforts to pre-
serve the fexibility of muscle could not
have had such results, as lines must
have formed already at that age, and
her attention must have been given to

vention- In like manner If the girl of

THE VERY LATEST.
The Last Word In Stockings, Gloves,
Flower Garniture, Souvenir Spoons
and Colored Glass.


The latest in stockings are of cotton.
woven in imitation of Isle or silk. They
are to be had in all the newest colors
and patterns. and are almost. if not
quite, as expensive as the goods they
initiate. The reason of their being is
comfort, not the lessening of expense
It seems that so great has been the re-
cent complaint among women of their
feet that the makers and sellers of
shoes began an investigation as to the
cause of the trouble. Finding it was
Isle OF silk stockings, both Of which
they proved drew the feet, and failing
in their efforts to dissuade their Gus
toners from wearing them, they con-
ferred with inventors. The result is a
cotton stocking as beautifully fine and
soft as those made of Isle or silk, and

GLOVES.
The newest gloves are of suede. in
four and six gutton lengths, and have
delicate floral designs embroidered on
the back The new coIors are hyacinth,
a lovely shade of pink purple; etrurian
blue, a shade little deeper than bird S
egg blue, and a new shade of apple
green as yet unnamed. The floral de-
sign, on the back, which takes the place
Of the old fashioned machine stitching,
consists OF delicate vines or sprays,
with foliage and flowers. This en-
hroidery is SO delicately done as to be
almost as inconspicuous as the former
stitching. 1t is always in black, or the
same color as the gloves. 1t is
prophesied that later in the season the
patterns will become more elaborate,
especially for evening gloves.
FLOWER BOAS.
The latest arrangement for the neck
is a, double garland Of bright coloFed
artificial flowers, with four or six long
ribbon ends each of which is finished by
a spray or cluster of the same bios
SONS. These, of course. are designed
only for evening wear, to take the place
of the feather boa or light scarf of lace
and muslin. One pretty one was made
of double garland of paul nero, the
new rose. with four long ends of
taffeta ribbon, three inches wide fin
iShed at the end with a single rose and
cluster of leaves. Another is of yellow
chrysanthemurns, with yellow ribbons;
while yet another is made of large
double peoples of every conceivable
shade of yellow and red, and has broad
strings which are red. yellow or green,
according to the light in which it is
viewed.

From the New York Times
We speak of thirty-twO years as the
average life of a generation, meaning
roughly that the sum of the lives Of hu-
nan beings born at the same time, divid-
ed by their number, viii be about thirty
two years. The average expectation of
life necessarily decreases with the adj
vance of time, and more rapidly in tn"
cases of those suffering from disease or
hardship or injury. 1t is striking fact
therefore, that the pension rolls of the
