WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY rwuBlLo
Onoe upon time there was girl ' DO
would have been very pretty-it she had
. been little oetter-looking,
Her eyes were fairly tender, that ore
quality which must be found in every pref
ty pair Of eyes.
Her skin was quite good and without good
skin not even the athletic girl can bs MICA.
Her contour was not bad nor was there
any single feature that was out
Yet the girl was not pretty.
Going orc day 20 a phys,cai-oulture spe-
eialist. she asked what was the trouble.
You need, my Cen, 70 hove pivotal Gull
ture applied to tho face" SAID this wise per-
son.
"And until you do that you VII not be
q euod-iookinC woman"
The eirl took q course Of LESSONS IN phys
ieai culture for the face, went homo and
r.actieed them ana came back again week
later much improved.
= Al the END Of six months her a,quatnt-
ances did not know her, 70 to soeak.
IN a years time even her friends began 70
marvel at her improved appearance,
In another s.1 months she was daily asked
the question. 'How DO you manage to keep
70 vounrr"
Physical culture for the face Is q serious
matter and delicate matter.
n begins with hygiene, for. unless The
hook wen from the outside.
The body Is Hike snv other structure.
n can be wh'tewa-hed, covered with stro-
-, made TO look bright ans prcsentable for
Q hetis while. but pretty soon the real
structure win show through. and Il Il Be
a bad condition not ell the whItewash for
all the paint IN the world will make II look
nios and new.
TREATING THE FACE
PHYSICAL culture for the face begins with
treatment Of the eye sacs and OF the dark
brown lines underneath the eyes
The '.tireo" lines they have been called,
but erroneousfy so.
Eye eacs and dark brown lines como
from liver trouble. and tho girl who has
them should put her liver and Internal
organism IN good condition al once.
This WIN make her skin clear and win
Danish for tie time being those great sacs
,rndsr the eyes which so greatly disfgure
any face afflicted with them.
The second step IN physical culture for
the fece come. with tho learning OF repose.
How many people can look at a thing IN
xen.ly without scowllng? How many can
sneak earnestly without contracting the
eyebrows?
How many persons are able to talk with
out making Crimaces OF all kinds with the
facet
Thes. n. a few Of the things which one
must overcome.
II can be nearly always traced TO poor
sight
Eear-sighted people and people troubled
with estigmatis,n nearly always frown, and
IN case OF great near-sightedness ths frown
u deep scowl.
II they will have glasses fitted to tbs
eyes the frown will disappear.
II you have such q frown end II does not
70 of its own accord, try filing IN the
burrows with a good wrinkle food: and II
the wrinkles do not gradually absorb the
wrinkle food and disappear Il is because
thew were so deep that the skin is actually
broken, like the skin Of an orange that has
been creased and creased until It has lost
its perfect outer surface.
There are other and rather expensive weys
< Of treating these burrows and one is by cub
cucaneous Injection of paraffin.
A small instrument is jabbed through the
sldn and paraffin is squeezed in.
II II then gently nodded by the fingers
Of the specialist who succeeds usually IN
making a very nice Job OF It, leaving the
outside skin az smooth as that OF q girl
Of "A
PHYSICAL CULTURE.
Physical culture of the face includes q
treatment of the forehead. not alone by
massage. but by practice.
II you cannot talk without wrinklinc Up
vour forehead. then you will have TO learn
to talk all over again. 80 as to talk without
wrinkles
It is said that the real reason why Sarah
Bernhardt wears such heavy forehead
fringe IL that she may cover up the lines
that run across her forehead; for, clever
as II this wonderful French woman she
has not yet learned to talk without, wrin-
king her forehead across In many deep
lines.
An excellent corrective OF this habit IS
found In the forehead bandage, which con-
sists of a strip OF hne linen wet with al
mound oil and botnd across the forehead.
It can be worn for half an hour to an
hour while the victim practices taking be-
! fore . mirror or to friend.
: Tho bandage must be tight enough to
keep the wrinkles from forming.
The object Of this is a twofold che, name
u. to smooth out the wrinkles and to get
thu patient IN the habit OF talking without
