TO PREVENT WRINKLES.
Danish Your Bric-a-Brac is the Az
vice of the JaDnnese-some
worry DOn'ts.

The artistic japanese have solved
an important problem and defy
wrinkles and crows feet by RELOCATING
bric-a-brac to the background, says
the New York Sun.
Bric-a-brac is responsible for more
wrinkles and, crows feet than an age
of illness.
The woman who il really anxious to
retain her good looks to green old
age will take lesson from the wise
and artistic Japa nese, who shows alb
solutely nothing in her drawing room
except a lovely flower and screen
and perhaps a beautiful vase.
The japanese collector Of pictures
keeps all her treasures slowed away
in what is called a go-down, her store
| house, and her pictures are brought
up one at time if any visitor is pres
ent or expected. Usually single pie
ture is brought in and hung up, and
you enjoy the beautiful picture by
| itself
Does not this tell the whole secret
Of the Acknowledged beauty's fair, I'M
wrinkled skin and refreshingly placid
expression?
| Who will found a club for woman
| kind and call it the No Bric-a-B rac
club. and at once institute new order
Of things, in which rest. perfect rest
| can be found, with roSeleaf complex
| ions as one of the rewards of member
| ship? Also freedom from worry; for
it Is worry which is wearing ont the
nerves OF the average American
woman.
| Englishwomen have formed n club
which comments itself to considera-
ton. 1t is called the Don't Get Tired
club Its main object j. the organ
zation, on "A hygienic basis, OF shop
ping-as pernicious a habit, il carried
too far, as the biic-a-brac habit
The members pledge themselves on
their word of honor as gentlewomen,
not to shop the whole Of the day
without suitable and proper refresh
ment." Stringent rules are drawn up
Of what is and what is not allowed
under this heading
| Then each member swears to do her
shopping Systematically, to make out
list Of everything she wants to buy
and never to toll from shop to shop
to see if she can't get it cheaper. A
| limit is placed on the amount of shop
ping that may be done in one day
three hours for town women and five
for suburb0nites. The carrying Of
parcels is absolutely forbidden. and
shopping in a short skirt made obliga-
| tory.
Here are some worry don';s:
Don't start nervously if IA child
makes a noise or breaks a dish-keep
your worry for broken bones.
Don't sigh too often over servants
shortcomings.
Don't get wildly excited If Bridget
has neglected to dust the legs of the
hall table; the welfare OF neither your
family nor the nation is involved.
Don't put too much Of yourself into
the ordering Of the household, or the
management Of servants, or the care
OF ornaments. Let the ornaments Of
the house be the friends who frequent
it.
Don't exhaust all your reserve force
over petty cares. Each time that one
loses control over herself, her nerves,
her temper, she loses just little ner-
vous force, just n little physical we'll
being and moves fraction of an inch
further on in the path that leads
to premature old age.
Don't work when you are not in
condition to do SO.
Don't go to bed late at night and
rise at daybreak and imagine that
every hour taken from sleep is an
hour gained.
Don't eat as II you only had a min.
ute in which to finish the meal, or eat
without an appetite.
Don't give unnecessary time to n
certain established routine Of house
keeping when it could he much more
protitahly spent in rest or recrea-
iOn.
Don't always be doing something;
having Intermittent attacks Of idling
| To understand how to relax Is to UNI
derstand how TO strengthen the
| nerves
Don't worry others, above all things
by forcing them to share your wor-
ries. Worry is called the American
national disease and "America tis'
Is It's distinctive name.
Don't fret and don't worry are the
