Appearance.

Hetrodocia looked i'm the mirror Now,
there's nothing very remarkable In that
statement have seen Hetrodocia look in
the mirror before, hut this time the tripli-
cate glass hung where "a strong, high light
fell upon il, and Hetrodocia gave little
scream Of horror
lis it "a spider or mouseS" Serenia
asked.
ooh, infinitely worse" gasped Hetro
docia. ats wrinklel Do you see the
horrid thing spreading down from my
right eye? Oh, look, look"
Whereupon Hetrodocia promptly buried
her face in her hands, SO that one could
not see that wrinkle, no matter how much
one looked.
Nonsense said Serenia comfortably.
GIVE seen you in all kinds of lights and
never yet perceived line on your face. 1t
must be the way the mirror is hung"

ola. "Oh, Pm growing old and ugly, and
wish hadn't snubbed Charlie last week |
Soon I'll be in the scar and yellow. 1t is
fast approaching, and not even Charlie
will want me- and

said pitilessly, for I'm good deal sorry
for Charlie, who is too easy with my lady's
whims.
Serenia looked up. what have you
been doing the past week." she questioned
sternly.
"Doingf" repeated Hetrodocia. "Why,
nothing-that is, nothing in particular
I've done good deal of shopping and
had the usual bother with the dressmaker
Then I've been writing letters rather in

trying my new wheel and packing up

rope, and going somewhere almost every
evening, especially to little dinner or
theater parties, and paying calls and
Serenia groaned. "And have you had
a good nights sleep in week."
"Hu-m-m Well, l have been "a bit tired
in the mornings, l admit, but when one
is going away -
Serenia interrupted: And late suppers,
l suppose ! thought you said you were
going to drink mineral water and eat APP
pies during the spring.
"Apples'" quoth Hetrodocia scornfully
"They give ne Indigestion if i take them

complicated Prefer something simple,
like II salad or Welsh rabbit
"Of such is the mark of tie crow g

never will out, and WEAKNESS and lack of
sleep bring them sooner than the years.

just. The Lest way To prevent wrinkles is
to live IA happy lie without worrying, to
keepa youthful heart and lie unsellsh and
bright, and as years increase you will be
surprised to find how slight the lines are
and how young the face keeps, even
though it may be crowned by white hairs
'If on the other hand, you worry and
fret, hurry and rush, crowding everything
into your days and leaving yourself leisure
for nothing, the wrinkles come thick and
fast and, instead of Icing cheerful touches
of times fingers, are deep and ugly and
forbidding and very, very unbecoming
surely that last ought to touch your
heart. Gray hair may add to the bril-
liancy of your eyes or your complexion,
but wrinkles only serve to turn you into a
fright. One Of the reasons that the horrid
lines come ON the face is because the nat
ural oil and fat under the skin begin to
dry up. AS this takes place the skin of
course gets looser and falls into lines and
wrinkles, just as an apple becomes wrin-
killed. from keeping too long. And so your
great care, after being cheerful, is to keep
in good health.
Eat and drink all kinds of nourishing
foods. Drink milk, and eat sweet and fat
things in moderation, for plump people
wrinkle far less early than thin ones do.
Go TO bed early and avoid the oyerheated
rooms that we Americans are SO fond of
and keep from too much wearing excite
ment and fatigue Never let yourself 90
too long without meals, and drink mod
crate amount of fluid with your meals.
Never sleep in an i'll ventilated bedroom
and have your window open summer and
winter.
1.-The best water To use for the face is
tepid rainwater, and before drying the face
must be rinsed with cold water, then
dried on a soft towel. Then the skin must
be gently massagod all over. Three times
n week, after washing, the face must be
thickly covered with cucumber emulsion.
After leaving this on for u few minutes
it must bo gently rubbed in with the
fingers, after the manner of shampoo,
till the skin is quite dry. The emulsion
is made of the pure juice of fresh cucum-
Der, which must be crushed and strained
for use
There is nothing in the world better
for the complexion than this same cucum-
Der, though To battle the face in new milk
now and then is very beneficial, and where
the skin is dry and free from superfluous
hairs a little olive oil or lanolinc can be
well rubbed i'm once "a week. You had best
begin TO try my recipes at once. When a
wrinkle begins, there's no hope for it but
massage"
It's-only-a-little- little-wrnkle, >"
said Hetrodocia thoughtfully. Don't
you think sea voyage might help itS''
No"
We'll, then, l guess I'll put on eye
glasses No, my eyes don't need them,
but IL will help me look intellectual and
will cover up the crows feet"
Then Serenia muttered something about
combination of vanity and Incidence,
but Hetrodocia only looked in the mirror
