This is the day of the girl with TIL
intellectual brow, the day of the CIR
who can toss her hair back from he
forehead and look at you intellectu-
ally; the day of the girl who knows g
great deal and who tells you so, moi
by word of mouth. but by sympathetic
look and expressive eye. More thah
all she expresses her intelligence in
her forehead. for this is where she
shows her superiority as in no other
manner
Reading character by the forehead is
a thing which could be done in nine
cases out of ten, for the character is
so plainly marked upon the brow, If
you were to take and cover a face
completely up, all except the forehead,
you would still be able TO tell the traits
of the person, for it is upon the brow
that the main points are more plainly
marked. Even the mouth does not
show them as strongly as the brow.
The forehead of a woman of middle
life viii reveal plainly the disposition
of the person. If she is grabbed her
forehead viii have a little bunch of up
and down lines right in the middle. If
she has been quick tempered and hasty
in her remarks her forehead will have
two or three lines drawn up and down
right between the eyes.
The woman who has ,fretted and fret
ted and worried and worried viii have
lines running across her forehead, al
most from temple to temple, and the
more she has worried the deeper these
will be-
When the forehead is streaked with
little brown lines around the temples
il is frequently a mark of i'll health,
and there is little to be done except
remedy the health and at the same
time try to oblterate the lines with
proper treatment
The forehead of a child is singu1arly
lovely, and the most beautiful feature
Of the Madonnas painted by the old
masters is the wide, low. beautiful
forehead, with its ethereal temples and
the suggestion of an arch above.
The Gibson forehead is lovely, and it
is an intellectual forehead, and in these
days of progress it is intellect that
counts. no matter what may be said
in favor Of the nonsensical girl. They
declare that men do not want brains,
preferring to supply the brains them
selves. But in the long run. and in
most short runs, it is brains that count.
Lines Removed in a Month.
\ woman, going to a face culturist,
asked that her forehead be made
smooth. L would look twenty years
younger" said she, IF the lines could
be taken out"
The face culturist wet her finger tips
in hot water and passed them over the
lines. 1T can be done, said she, but
Il viii take a month
And it did take month. but at the
end of that time the lines were gone
and the skin was as smooth as velvet
She steamed the forehead until the skin
vas relaxed. and While it was in this
relaxed condition she massaged it with !
a skin food until the lines We're nearly |
gone. They can be completely rubbed /
away in this manner To be sure. they |
viii come again, but they can be driven |
away again. And if this course be |
persistently carried out they will go |
away in time, never TO came back |
again.
They say that lines are the fault of /
the woman who owns them, and that !
they can never come into the face with
out the consent of the person. Droop- /
ing corners of the mouth, an uplifted
eyebrow. 4 forehead which has deep
creases in it, are all the result of prac-
tice, and woman who mas them in
her possession does so simply because
she is willing TO have them
Lines Form During Sleep.
The rigid lines between the ewes /
usually come during the sleep. and by
iying upon one side of the face. If the
hand rests under the cheek these lines
VIII form between the eyes: and if the |
lace be pressed into the pillow they
viii form deeply.
To obliterate these oblique lines
should be the first work until the skin
shows upon them faithfully. and never
stop until she has made this snarn
smooth and nice again.
The method of doing this can best he
iikened TO that of smoothing creases
out of a crumpled piece of paper. The
creases must be rubbed again and
again with the finger tip until the skin
becomes smooth and none of them
shows upon the skin 1t does not take
long. and. with little care, they can
be kept away.
A certain woman who frowns in her
sleep has a way of heating the skin
every night with hot water. She then
