Smelling Salts Cause Wrinkles.

The woman who wishes to retain the
beauty OF her face-and what woman
does not ?-should forego the use of the
smelling bottle, for. according to we'll
known New York physician who has
lately been making experiments in that
line, the use of smelling salts encourages
wrinkles.
"If YOU don't believe me-" he said,
"stand in front of a mirror and inhale
the pungent order from smelling bottle
and notice the number OF lines that
form about the eyes, nose and mouth.
Each sniff taken from the bottle causes
the same screwing up of the face, and
each time the unbecoming lines deepen.
Remember, also, that it is an unpleasant
experience which has called up these
wrinkles. Those caused by laughing
and talking are bad enough, but the
wrinkles formed by the use OF smelling
salts give an absolutely undesirable ex-
preston.
"But if you are already in possession
of wrinkles which have been produced
in other ways than by the use of salts
then smelling salts are specific for
removing them and causing them to
STAY away. In almost every case the
wrinkles formed by laughing and cry
ing are in an exactly opposite direction
to those produced by inhaling salts, ano
in this case smelling salts act like
charm in causing the unbecoming lines
to disappear"

A Wedding Superstition.

1t has been considered unlucky to be
married in May ever since the days of
Ovid, and those people who have spent
their time in looking up roots and rea-
sons have given what they consider to
be the origin of the superstition as fol-
lows:
In ancient Rome there was held in
May festival called the Lemuria, or
feast of the Lemures, which was a
ceremony in honor of the speeches of
departed souls. 1t became with the
Romans what we should call "bad form"
to have matrimonial feasts at the season
of solemn ritual. being no doubt
thought to be an insult to the dead to
marry at such time.
From this number of stories grew OF
the revenge made by the outraged
ghosts upon those who dared to disre-
gard them, and if anything unfortunate
happened to couple who had been
married in May it would, of course
have been put down to retribution. Sc
the tradation of i'll luck arose, and it:
influence has lasted ever since, even te
our time.
