IF YOU DON'T WANT WRINKLES.
One WOmaE's Suggestion for Prevent
ing or Removing Them.
New York Journal.


To be wrinkled is to be ugly. Every wo-
man knows this. Hence wrinkles in an
tlcipation and in fact are the enemy OF
feminine happiness. Women have always
a matter of course. They have done so
hopelessly = and ignorantly. They have
found the most expensive lotions and
creams of no avail, and they have found
a cheerful disposition no more effectual
1t is an interesting fact that one woman by
studying the subject from logical and
scientific point of view has made the dis
covery that the old-fashioned theory about
wrinkles is a mistaken one. They are not
always the result of old age and worry and
they are not hopeleSsly 1neradicable In any
case. Madame Pote of Carnegie Hall, who
knows more about wrinkles, their cause and
their cure than any other woman in the
world, has some novel and new things to
tell women about beauty culture. Here is
what Madame Pote has to say on this sub
ject:
wrinkles come from bad circulation of
the blood.
WRINKLES should be treated as you would
a. flabby arm-by exercise.
ITO remove wrinkles increase the muscles
underneath
Feed these muscles-bring nutriment and
development to them by exercise =
Brushing is as good for wrinkles as it is
for old clothes.

Nine. Pote also believes that a woman
has only herselh to blame II she carries
about with her double chin. She recon.
mends two exercises for tho reducing OF
double chins. Here they are: Stretch the
chin forward and up as high as possible
Raise the chin so high that the muscles be-
come completely tense from the chest te
the TIP OF the chin. -
Relax the chin by carrying It forward and
downward as far as possible. These move
ments develop tho muscles and thus reduce
the adpose tissue.
Nine Pote, In her beauty culture work
has given much time and thought to the
study OF refining the expression OF the
mouth. which is the keynote OF a beautiful
face. She has two exercises for reducing
thick lips and giving sweetness OF express
