salted her teast, but did not butter it,
and she ate it dry with her stewed
fruit and her soft boiled eggs 1t was

the work OF reducing.
Next came the facial treatment.
Though less than 80 she had begun to
look like 40. She tried cosmetics, but
they made the matter worse.
A little face powder and a touch Of
vegetable rouge is advised by ali
means. But it should not be used to
hide the ravages OF time. It is more
