about. and che of the hardest to practice,
is keeping young. says the Philadelphia
Inquirer" So few women have any in
telligent ideas upon this subject early in
life. The lectures that come to them later
may be we'll worth consideration, but can
the help they offer be of any real benefit
to habits of long standing?
Take. for instance. the girl who has
been allowed to lift her brows ever since
she was a mite. The lines are ridged
across the forehead until, with the
slightest facial movement, they furrow
the skin. One. two, three such lines age
a face ten years every time they appear.
How about the lines between the eyes?
I see them deeply etched in many faces.
AS a girl develops into womanhood she
is annoyed by their appearance and att
tempts to explain why she is disfigured-
1 find she has been allowed to squint ever
since she was a child. No effort was made
to help this trouble, and SO the two very
deep i~ndentations over the nose spoil a.
face that might have been comely.
Nothing hurts a wornan's looks so much

Women of maturer years find they have

woman on the exquisite beauty of her
forehead received this explanation:
Never since 1 have been old enough to
know anything have I been permitted to
scowl or use my forehead to express
emotions. 1 never show temper in my
face. When 1 am angry I do not for one

With such good sense as a time server,
there is no reason why this fortunate one,
now the mother of a large family of chill
dren, should not become a grandmother
and a great-grandmother without show
ing facial lines.
According to your theory was the

woman must go about with a face like a
craven image" According to my theory.
we had better never have emotions if our
faces must express them. The eyes light
up, the mouth curves into pleasing con-
tours. The sparkle. the glow of feeling

keep her sisters young and beautiful.
Begin early enough in life and you may
be your own specialist. Here is. a woman
who has used water ON her skin for years
and never a drop of cream. The skin gets
dryer ana dryer, until finally the slight

tiny lines as fine as the hairs of ones
head. They creep about the corners of
the eyes, and so steaIthy is their approach
that their first appearance gives one a
dreadful shock
They came in the night when the head
was tucked won in a downy pillow; they
came because the sleeper has always had
a trick Of sleeping with her ham slipped
under her cheek: they came because re-
peated housings of soap and cold water
or constant applications of hot water
without a tonic to follow were the only
means ever employed to keep this poor
face clean.

For years this woman has powdered,

face.
And the lines settle deeper and deeper
and finally the daintiest clothes only ac-

according to Beauty's code, to claim its
