There are thousands OF so-called mas
seuses who undertake to give facial treat
ments, and 1 must candidly say there are
very few VINO know anything about the
art they assume TO understand and prac-
tise.
1 know only two thoroughly skil,ful
women in New York City who give facial
treatments
They are both excellent anatomists and
understand the work perfectly.
One Of these two ladies-Mrs. Brandon
burgh-I was fortunate enough to secure
for Miss Parks. For the benefit of Sunday
World readers, Mrs Brandenburgh posed
with her patient and the illustrations &C
companying this article were drawn from
photographs taken from life.
great many attempts to illustrate IA
cial massage have been made, but no sue
cessful pictures have ever been printed
hitherto because the movement of the fin
gers has not been described.
The value of massage consists in know
ing not only the muscular construction of
the face but the proper movement for the
restora ton and strengthening Of the muscle
treated
The word massage is derived from the
Greek masso, meaning TO knead. and all
the motions are those you will see the
skilIful breadmaker use when she kneads
bread douEh
Ignorant women who take advantage Of
a supposed fad or fashion for facial mas
-.c -no Got Of
the art, for it is an art, do incalculable
harm to their victims by humping and
bruising their faces.
I have seen some truly awful results
from these alleged facial improvers.
Mrs. Ayers report is followed by the
masseurs treatment as illustrated by the
paper. This masseur says:
In giving massage the patients face
is first bathed in warm water and care
fully dried with a soft towel.
I use a little cream or skin food to
anoint my fingers during the treatment.
The first picture shows the movement
for obliterating horizontal lines and fur
rows in the brow.
This is the rotary motion, as shown in
the diagram. 1t is reversed in the
work on the brow, but always backward
on the temples
It has been well said that a woman
cannot afford to shed many tears after
she is five and twenty, or if she does il
will be at the expense of the beauty Of
her eyes, as the lachrymal glands are
relaxed by weeping and the orbicularis
tissues Che orbicularis is the circular
muscle OF the eyelid) become emaciated,
causing the Disagreement known as droop-
ing eyelids. and nothing but the most
skillful manipuIati ton can restore the con-
tour of those delicate tissues.
This movement is shown in the illustra-
ton and diagram No ito remove a
droop in the eyelid."
The movement IS made with the third
finger only of either hand, and IS vibra-
tory.
The illustration No. 8 shows the move
ment for removing laughing wrinkles.
Laughing wrinkles are not disagreeable,
but they certainly make a woman look
older.
The temporal muscle is the one to be
operated upon. This muscle is fan
shaped. It's fibres arise from the
aponeurosis of. the forehead. The oper-
ator must exercise great skill and care
to locate this muscle, giving it the proper
rotary movement, thus forcing the blood
to the surface, which will nutrify and
rebuild the fatty tissues and restore the
temple and nasal contour.
No. shows the proper movement for
developing the predominating muscle OF
the face. The principal muscle OF the
cheek called the trumpeter's muscle. is
a fiat muscle which forms the wall of
the cheek II derives its name from its
being much used in blowing the trum-
pet. But several other muscles enter
into its formation, and these become
relaxed from a disorganized system,
sluggish blood and many other causes.
The glands shrink, the fatty tissues
emaciate and then we have sunken
cheeks.
The operator must know how to locate
these muscles, beginning at the origin
Of the trumpeter's muscle and manipu-
latng upward TO the predominating muscle
above the ear. finishing the work on this
muscle with the rotary movement which
will force the circulation through the re-
Taxed muscles, invigorate and rebuild the
tissues. This movement. in connection
with the manipulation Of the malar or
cheek muscle will completely obliterate
the lines Of care but in giving these move
ments special attention must he paid TO
the chin. as the contour of this most i'm
portant feature can be diminished or alb
normally enlarged by improper manipu-
lation.
The illustration No. shows the man.

a sort Of clawing movement. The mus
cles must be accurately located and the
motion light and quick.
Hollow cheeks fill out IN an amazing
way when this manipulation is properly
and persistently given.
