MoLDING THE FACE
WITH THE FINGER TIPS

saged until it is rid of some of its fat
One way to do this is to work the jaws
and to exercise the checks until some
of the pudginess comes off. If the
cheeks are thin there are other devices
In Europe and especially in London
they have a way of making the cheeks
plump They perform an operation
which was at first great novelty, but
which is not now considered at all un-
usual 1t requires some little knowl-
edge of antiseptics and a great deal of
artistic taste. In addition to this il
needs a hypodermic syringe and mix
ture known as paraffin mixture.
The operation is that of injecting
paraffin under the skin. 1t is performed
in more serious cases to repair nose
and even to make a new nose entirely.
But the society beauty, and the woman
who wants to be pretty can employ
paraffin expert to fill out hollow cheeks
and to mold and shape the bridge OF
the nose and make the chin prettler III
contour.
Paraffin can be nicely injected into
the laughing wrinkles of the face and
into the horizontal lines of the fore
head, and, if the patient is careful AFTER
the treatment they VIII not return.
1t is not at all improbable that this
operation may become much more COM
mon than it now is, and in that case
there will be no such thing as wrinkles
and the woman who wants to keep
young can remain perennially SO.
They say that wrinkles are the result
of headache and that the woman whose
face is creased and lined is the one who
has suffered from severe headaches or
from head disturbances.
Waking Headaches Bring Wrinkles.
People who wake in this manner are
the victims of headache in their sleep,
the permanent results of which are
shown by wrinkles, a pallid complex
ion or a brilliantly notified one, ard by
dull, heavy eyes
Before anything can be done toward
mOlding out the face this condition

sleep is frequently caused by an empty
stomach. Going to bed four, or five, or
six hours after one has eaten is a poor
plan. Better to eat an apple or to take
some sort of fruit fresh or cooked.
This gives the stomach something to
do and keeps the brain from being
troublesome.
Again. the headache is caused by the
habit of sleeping without a pillow. 1t
is only a few years ago that the no
pillow enthusiasts Weakened the land
with their cry of No pillow for the
healthy Women who had slept with
the head supported all their lives threw
away the pillow and slept with the
head fat, in a hard. strained attitude.
Now. the use Of the pillow is some
thing both ancient and honorable. The
Bible many times mentions it, and in d
way advises the pillow. in some form.
even though it be nothing more COM
Portable than a stone. A child viii nat
urally pillow its head upon its arm
and the pillow is an institution which
is almost a physical necessity. Those
who do away with it and provide no
substitute certainly pave the way for a
multitude of ills, including a hard Sc
ries of headaches.
People who wake up frowning, with
deep lines in the forehead, can do moth
ing except cover the forehead with
lotion and hope for the best. The REM
edy must come from a more comforta-
bic habit of sleeping. The best lotion
for the purpose is benzoinated vaseline.

all help TO undo the beautiful picture
which is expected of a wOman's face.
In holding the face care should be
taEen of the eyes. These should be
large and clear, but in many faces the
eyes are small and sunken. This is
partly due to the size and shape of the
eye sockets, and when the eye sockets
are small and obscure there is nothing
that can be done to make them large
and prominent.
Yet the eyes themselves can be made
larger. 1t is done by reducing the fat
OF the cheeks and giving the eyes a
chance to show for themselves After

hollow one calls them. And often an
otherwise homely face becomes beautf-
ful by the unusual size of the eyes.
