Don't worry, but II worry you must,
keep the forehead smooth and don't
frown.
Don't wear tight shoes. They make
young face look drawn and wrinkled
in few hours,
Don't neglect the ten minutes rest
during the day with the feet raised. It
gives the whole body a. great sense of
repose and works wonders in smoothing
out the lines Of the face.
Don't let insomnia get the upper
hand. BY all means In you power try
to break up the habit. Sleeplessness is
sometimes caused by unconscious hung
er land. cup of hot water or a bis
cult, wi II often induce sleep.
Don't go too long without food.
Hunger gives a. strained look to the
face. Now and then, If one is fatigued,
bite between meals will invigorate the
whole system and give repose and re-
taxation to strained muscles and nerves.
Don't sit facing a strong light.
Don't stoop or bend while reading or
writing.
Don't scowl.
Don't use violence in smoothing out
lines on the face, for it will not stand
pounding. The manipulation must be
gentle and even, or the skin will become
coarse and leathery.
Don't rub the lines the wrong way,
or they will become more instead of less
prominent. Rub across the wrinkles
with rotary motion.
Don't loosen the skin from the un-
derlaylng tissues or stretch it.
Don't forget that occasionally during
treatment the face should be smoothed
with the tips of the fingers of both
hands.
Don't be anxious or disheartened or
impatient. These passions make ugly
lines on the face.
Don't believe that there is any sup
ernatural virtue in being ugly, or that
it is SO very frivolous to contrive that
man shall always remain in love with
his own wife.
1.-The greatest trouble with telephone
operators employed at private switch
boards is that they are pretty as a
usual thing and after year or SOS
experience they marry the bookkeeper
or assistant manager, and then the firm
is in q sea of hot water and perplexity
until q new operator can learn the run
OF things. 1t was thus that S. J.
Larned talked at meeting of the
Chicago Electrical Association on the
! woes endured by telephone companies.
Mr.. Larned is superintendent of the
Chicago Telephone Company and there
fore knows whereof he speaks. Seven
ty-tive electrical a Engineers attended
the meeting and many wanted to know
why*sthey had suffered 80 many delays
getting t9lephor,e 4. connections. Mr..
arned ::sss sss Y: -
Facts and figures show that one
call il five receives no answer because
the subscribers have not enough tele-
| phones. In New York City the number
| Of private operators taking care of
swftchboards in the Offices Of corpor-
| atoms and business houses is double
| the number of operators in the regular
exchange. The tendency seems to be
! not to do away with the telephone girl
but to simplify the signals before her,
| reduce the number Of words in direct
ing connections and giving her enough
work to keep her busy and keep her
| mind on her work.
"The average number of calls per tel
! ephone per day in Chicago is eighteen.
The daily total is about 100000 and the
| average time for connections is about
| nine seconds
