cede the attack on the lines and furrows and crows feet that wrinkle the face of beauty.
 The effect of the electrical massage roller Is to quicken the circulation brighten the color, and so strengthen the muscles that they become infused with new life.
 Flabby muscles of the neck are also made firm by means of the massage roll CT, and the appearance of the hand may be much improved-for lines creep into the hands as well as into the face.
 Massage may be self-given with the hands. The stroke should be firm and leisurely, just soft enough not to irri- tate. Keep the skin moist with rose water during the operation, or, better still, use a cold cream.
 The skin possesses wonderful absorbent powers. and the unguent, forced by fric- tion through the pores of the outer cuticle. is then taken up by the under structure. It is especially important to use an emol- ient if the cuticle is dry and needs nour- ishment.
 The woman who desires beauty seats herself before her mirror before treating her face. and takes a critical look in or- der to see where the deepest lines are situated and just what forms they take. Then she gently, but firmly, seizes the muscles underneath with the thumb and forefinger of each hand and kneads them or gives them a rolling pinch. The ex- act grasp will come with practice. Then she gently, but firmly. yields that little beauty -coaxing device, the massage roller. Of course, 1t is more luxurious to put yourself in the hands of another for this toilet rite, but 1t is also more expensive.
 For lines about the eyes, rub outward and downward, not upward, with a semi circular movement from the outer cor ners Those lines which come on either side of the nose must be rubbed toward the cheek. while those across the fore head must be smoothed out from the cen ter of the forehead outward, not up and down. For lines on the chin, rub the face upward. The neck must be rubbed

Of course. her best friend wanted to know the cause of this rejuvenation. It was massage-the electrical massage roll CT and massage with the finger tips. The matron also gave her friend valuable points on the subject of face cleansing, which precedes the treatment.
 Few women know how to wash their faces. They seem to think that all that is necessary is to dabble 1t with little soap and water. Others go to work with a Turkish towel and don't stop until they have succeeded in rubbing the skin of in spots.
 That the face is delicate Is an admit ted fact, and that 1t requires delicate handling is a natural inference, but wom- en do not seem to realize that it is more exposed than the hands. and. therefore, requires more careful attention.
 It is, nevertheless, so. The face is dirty. There is only one place where it can be said to be free from dust, and that is on the sea. And even on ship board 1t is smoke-stained.
 In washing the face. good soap should be used, an then several rinsings are required to remove the soap. A thorough face cleansing in this fashion must pre-

Nothing is so destructive to the peace of a pretty woman's soul as the discov- cry of the first wrinkle in her fair face.
 Gray hairs may be tolerated for often their framing softens the tints of the complexion and adds new depths and brightness to the eyes that flash beneath them. Many pretty women, indeed, are never really beautiful until they are crowned with the sheen of silver tresses.
 The fading tints of a we'll kept and smooth skin may bSrconcealed by artlfices that every woman knows, but wrinkle is an obstinate, disagreeable, aggressive witness that bears evidence of age in un- picturesque language as convincing as the records of the family Bible or the testimony of some old friend of your mothers, who is always telling people that you are just two years older than her Kate" when, perhaps, you look ten years younger.
 Fortunately, if beauty Is but skin deep, ugliness extends no deeper-at least so far as wrinkles are concerned"
 This comforting assurance was made by matron who met her best friend the other day. and displayed under the mer- ciless morning sun face as smooth and rosy as that of a school girl.

Mary and N. E.-For an oily skin, boil half pound of epson salts in quart Of rain water for fifteen minutes. Strain and add 1 dram of glycerine, l ounce Of rose water, and 2 ounces of bay rum, and bottle To apply this lotion, pour little in the hand and then on the face, rubbing 1t in gently. To keep hair in curl in warm weather is often trial of patience Moistening the hair with curling fluid is a great help, and sometimes the hair will stay in curl for several days after one application Of course, you must put your hair up on kids or curriers' after us- ing the wash. A good one is made of 1-2 dram of gum tragacanth, 1-2 pint of rose water, and 1 ounce of alcohol Let the mixture stand for a day or two, and strain.
 Donna Bella.-What do I consider the greatest foe to beauty? Bad temper It will trace more wrinkles in the face in one hour than hot water or cold cream or massage or complexion brushes can erad- icate in a years faithful application. Worry is nearly as great la foe to beauty as temper Don't worry, and keep your temper under control.
 Dora Loulse.--Gray can only be worn to advantage by women of brilliant col bring. "I never make a nonentity of my self by wearing gray" says one disciple of Delsarte, who is pale blonde. Pearl tints, however, are becoming to nearly ev- cry woman. It is only the cold grays which pale beauties must shun. If yoVg eyes are blue, wear blue gowns as much as you like. but grayer blue than the eyes. Then your eyes will lose none of their beauty or brllllancy.

around; the hands toward the arms, If there are parts of the face which ars Inclined to be flabby and lifeless, apply
 the massage sparingly. If wrinkles and flabbiness are caused by shrinkage of the muscles within, rather than by a sim | pie creasing of the skin without, the use | of an emolient is very necessary. for ii
 will develop the muscle, making 1t hard and firm again Massage should be more forcibie upon some parts of the face than upon others. and the woman who tries to beautify herself must not make the mistake of kneading her entire face as if 1t were a mass of dough.
 Don't apply forcible massage Ito the flesh about the jaws and under the chin. or the appearance of age will be hastened the forehead may be thoroughly mas saged. but the skin about the eyes must be rubbed gently and with discretion.
 It is very important that the features should be trained to composure, and all grimacing avoided. Lines are deepened by comforting the face into ugly and ludi- crous shapes-when exposed to strong light, for example. a habit which can be overcome by little thought and effort.
 Many young people have a disagreeable fashion of drowning and scowling, and. as they grow older. the creases thus form ed become fixed. These lines are not im- mediately apparent on youthful face, for the skin is elastic. In later years the elasticity Is lost, and expressions oft repeated form permanent folds in the
 skin.
 One way to prevent wrinkles Is to
 sleep as many hours in the afternoon as
 you expect to be awake at night after
 the usual bedtime. This is rule for
 those in the social world. Late hours make old faces. unless the precaution sug-
 gested Is taken. & ~ 9
 Much exercise in the open air helps to keep wrinkles in the background.

 Danger turks in smelling salts. One Of our most beautiful women on the stage says she noticed how rapidly one of her friends was accommodating wrinkles of un- usual depth and size. When spending day with her she found that she was ad- dicted to the use of strong smelling salts, which caused her to wrinkle up her face in a truly remarkable manner. The mys- tery was explained.
