A SMILING YOUNG WOMAN
WILL BE A PRETTY OLD Wo-
MAN.

Marion Martineau in Chicago Tribune.
1t has been settled that there is now
no such thing as smiling wrinkles.
Smiles. according to the latest the
DRY, may bring creases around the
mouth but these, if shaken out every
day, will amount to nothing serious in
| the long run.
BY the long run" is meant old age
four score-when wrinkles will come
whether you want them or not. No
matter how careful you are of your
skin, nor how industriously you apply
skin food to the wornout cuticle,
there will surely come day, when you
are so or therea bouts, in which wrln-
kles will be present in your counte-
nance.
If you want these wrinkles to be
pleasant ones you must smile. Smile
all the time. if you can; but if you can
not. then smile as much as possible.
The woman who smiles is the woman
who does not have lines between the
eyes, for she smiles so much that they
do not get a chance to appear there.
The woman who smiles is sure to
have the Cupids bow mouth, for the
corners are perpetually uplifted. Inc
woman who smiles will have soft,
sweet expression of countenance, in
stead of a hard cut and dried look. And
the woman who smiles will be sure to
bear an engaging manner, for there is
nothing quite as charming as smile.
The evils of smiling are found in the
parentheses that creep around the cor
ners of the mouth. But these can be
shaken out daily, and if this is care
fully done the fact win be quite free
from lines.
SHAKING OUT WRINKLES.
To shake wrinkles out of the fact,
seat yourself in chair and lean for
ward, resting your elbows on your
knees. Place your chin in your hand,
let your jaw drop a little, open your
mouth in the most idiotic way, half
close it, and assume a vacant stare.
Now toss your head from side to side
in a meaningless manner, taking care
that there is neither expression in your
face nor line around your mouth.
Toss your head until you feel as
though the wrinkles had been shaken
out. and keep on until your brain reels.
You must do This daily. 1t is called
resting the face. and it certainly makes
it a great deal prettier to gaze upon.
The woman who smiles never gets
those awful downward suggestions at
the outer corners of the mouth. Her
mouth may have little lines at each
side. but they are not drawn lines that
are so disagreeable to behold. Nor does
she get that set, tired stare, almost
despairing in its intensity, whlch
makes a woman's face look old and
sad long before the time when she
should despair.
"DONTS" TO DODGE WRINKLES.
The wrinkle donts" are almost as
many as the wrinkles that come from
disregarding the "don'ts." One of the
first is an injunction to go to sleep
thinking pleasant thoughts. Don I
frown in YOUR sleep: and. if you must
frown-if nothing will break you of it
then bind your forehead with white
tulle or paste plaster strips across II,
to keep the wrinkles from creeping IN.
Don't sit and think facing a strong
light. The eyes will wrinkle and erin
kle at the corners and you will scowl,
and that means the getting OF wrinkles.
Don't try to reduce by going hungry.
Hunger never makes oeautlful lace.
Fat plenty and let the stomach be well
filled though not necessarily with fat
tening food. Take three raw eggs, if
nothing else. But don't go hungry I'M
less you want wrinkles.
Don't worry Worry wrinkles are the
FINEST. hardest, fiercest wrinkles in the
world to eradicate. They are so deep
that nothing viii get them out of the
skin.
Don make STluldCSS WllSi YOU TAIN
Those lines are of the tough sort,
caused by a hardening of the muscles,
and not all the massage in the world
will get them out if you continue the
habit of making grimaces.
Don't wear uncomfortable clothing,
tight boots. tight belts, or tight cor
set. This gives one that fatigued look
which is the absolute enemy to beauty.
Be comfortable, especially in the feet.
for aching feet make grimaces in the
face. frowns in the forehead, pensive
| expression of mouth, hollow cheeks,
and eyes that are positively pathetic
in their look of dumb pain. Tight
shoes cause more wrinkles than all the
other aches of the world put together.
Don't sit in uncomfortable positions;
don't face a strong light; don't stoop
over your paper while you are writing;
don't sew with the head down; don
look constantly at one object; don't
work. write or read, or play the piano,
with eyes slanting. Look at the object
directly ahead of you, if possible.
