The Treatment of Wrinkles.

Our grandmothers used to date the
period of their lost girlhood by the
first wrinkle, but the woman has to
be seen nowadays who would have the
courage to say that with her first
wrinkle comes old age. She would tell
you she is proud of that little faint limo.
But as rule ill-health is answerable
for those disagreeable little lines, and,
indeed, when they are many in number
they are disfiguring.
Divers are the methods that have
been tried to make the skin smooth
and fair again.
others will use hot. and some begin
with hot and end with cold. All these
methods are good, but as no two skins
are alike, each requires q different
treatment
There is a great deal in the way you
wash your face. Instead of washing 1t
downward, as 80 out of every 100 do,
It should be washed upward, and gentle
friction given to the parts most likely
to wrinkle.
Spraying the face with soft, hot
water at night is good. The best plan
of all Is to nourish the body with
good wholesome food, which will in
Its turn nourish the skin and fill out
the face In the parts where wrinkles
generally come.
Here is a good recipe which will do
much to prevent wrinkles:
One ounce simple tincture of benzoln.
One pint pure alcohol.
Add one tablespoonful of this to a
pint of rosewater, and bathe the face
with 1t twice or three times q day

Scarpology,

A new method of character inter-
probation called scarpology is attract
ing attention in Europe. The art is
based on the assumption that the con-
dltion of the shoes of any person will
tell the wcarer's character. A few Of
the principal rules are as follows:
When the heel and sole Of the shoe
are equally worn the scarpologist may
be confident that the wearer of the
shoe, IL he be a man, is energetic and
endowed with good business ability;
II a woman, that she is loyal to her
husband and good housckeeper.
When the outer edge of the sole is
much worn q wayward and fantastic
disposition is indicated. III 1t is the
inner edge that is worn, the wearer
is timid and irresolute. When the
shoes are much worn along the edges
and the leather around the toes looks
shabby, the other parts of the shoes
being as good as new, the wearer you
may be sure is rogue.-New York

Built Sun Room In Her House.


A woman who is experimenting the
building of a new home is adding a
sun-room to the apartments OF the
house. When her friends have asked
her who is the invalid of the family FOR
whom It is presumably designed, she
has replied There is no invalid, and
| am hoping, by means of this very
room, that there may be none. We
build greenhouses for the plants we
love, because they grow best in the
sunlight. but the human plants of our
household, those we love the dearest,
are often ignorantly tucked away in
north, sunless rooms, and we wonder
that they languish. This sun-room
which we have made, is on the second
floor, facing east and south, and the
architect has worked II into a corner
of the house-plan by which the numer-
GUS windows that are especially large
and close together are set in a sloping
roof. The room is arranged so that
in case of Illness il can be convenient
~ used independently OF the rest of the
house. The walls are painted and the
floor Is of hard wood, and will, of
course, have no carpet, or even rugs,
to gather dust and germs. Where the
floor and walls join the builder has
made a curve, as is done in modern
hospital buildings, instead of the usual
right angle. The furniture is to be
very simple. Some comfortable cane
chairs and settees and a few cushions
with washable covers. We mean to
use the room as much as possible each
day. The children can study there,
and in winter particularly | hope for
good results to us all from much liv-
ing in my sun-parlor For this reason

rooms of the house that we may get

Seaweed is the name given a new
reddish color of decidedly unusual eff
feet.
The long round length skirt is bet
ter style at present than one with the
dip back.
Sets of crush girdles and fancy stocks

Jet, rhinestone or steel ornaments
are the standard thing for brighten
ing a black house gown.
Whatever the shape of style of hat
worn, fashions mandate is that it
shall be lifted high from the head.
The beaver hat for utility wear is
a much 'woolier" sort this season
than the kind in vogue several years
ago.
Velvet Cirdles and collars are now
correct when they match instead of
contrast with the material house
gowns.
For evening wraps the new zibeline
and plush cloths in white have the
preference, althogh silver-gray is q
much admired tint
Fringes are knotted into the heavy
laces and into passementeries, and not
only fringes, but all swaying and dang
ling trimmings are popular.
The shirred velvet skirt probably
represents the extreme of the mode.
The skirt may be shirred at the waist
and twice below, and end in a full
founce. The founces are sometimes
edged with fur.

showerlng Bath Brush.

The shower bath is now in more gen.
eral use than II has ever been before,
for the reason that 1t is regarded as
more sanitary and less wasteful of wa
ter than the so familiar tub, and, at
the same time, the invigorating effects
of the bath under a sprinkler is said to
be much greater. Another advantage
Is that the bath is always ready, and to
those who make 1t rule to take q
bath each morning upon arising this
saving of time Is a matter of considera-
BILE moment.
A new shower bath and flesh brush
combined recently brought out consists
of a loop of pipe which has two
straight and parallel parts forming the
handles and at the same time being the
means for distributing the water

which 1t is sprayed at the pleasure of

pipe is plugged while the other is pro-
vided with means Of coupling piece of
hose thereto and thereby making a
