W0MAN'S SECRET OF YOUTH.

You have heard stories of old wom-
en- who became young again. They
learned how to take out wrinkles and
restore youthful bloom, says the New
York Sun.
But this is tale of young woman
who became old from too much de-
votion to social enjoyments. She went
to the opera too much: she danced
too long; she sat at dinner too many
hours; she lunched: she called; she
gossiped, until her good looks began
to flee.
The first intimation she had that
her youth had departed was not from
her mirror Far from it. That tell
tale has never been known to tell a
woman the exact truth.
Seen in a mirror a woman always
finds her face pretty. The expression
is good; she holds her head archly;
she arranges her neck and her hat
just so. She is the pink of perfection
before her own mirror, and the looking
glass tells her so.
Seen by her friends this woman is
quite different. She has lost her arch
look. She is bored or tired or she is
off guard. She no longer looks SO
spick and span. And her friends say:
She is falling off In her good looks"
This is the history of every beauty
who enters society and goes the pace.
She loses her good looks gradually and
falls off in her appearance slowly. Her
friends and the public know it, but
the mirror gives no intimation of the
fact.
But to return to the beauty of this
story who danced and went out nights,
read by daylight and knitted by cleo
trio light, and did all of the thousand
and one fashionable things without
knowing that they would injure her
beauty.
One day this woman, who was still
very young, received a circular. 1t was
from a Misunderstanding concern and it
advised her how and where she could
obtain a full supply of wrinkle reme-
dies. A few days later she received
another of the same kind. And, in
side of a few weeks her daily mail was
crowded with advice to beauty seekers
and with specifics and formulas of all
kinds.
Then the truth began to dawn upon
her. She was losing her good looks,
and, being a great beauty, the public
and her friends had noticed 1t. One
day she asked one of her friends to tell
her the truth.
We'll, my dear" said the friend,
I have noticed your wrinkles and that
your eyes are growing baggy and your
waist stout"
Let me hear no more" said the
frightened young woman. BY the
time l am 30 / shall be a fright" And
without saying another word, she rush
ed away home to begin her beauty
treatments.
And this is what she did: She first
of all took up the obesity remedy
which q fCllnUad In Fiji
rope. She began to diet and for two
meals a day she ate toasted bread and
stewed fruits. A small cup of tea went
with each meal but nothing else.
There is no limit to the fruit and no
limit to the bread. The only rule is
that only one cup of tea or coffee shall
be taken with the meal.
She learned to go without butter.
She sailed her toast, but did not but
ter 1t, and she ate 1t dry with her
stewed fruit and her soft boiled eggs.
1t was not an appetizing nor inspiring
| breakfast, but 1t was nourishing, and it
did the work OF reducing.
Next came. the facial treatment
| Though less than 30 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 all
means. But Il should not be used to
hide the ravaEes of time. IL is more
as a toilet preparation than as time
antidote that II should be applied.
This beauty made, under the direc-
ton of Partisan specialist. a very
soft cold cream. She made 1t by TAX
ing an ounce OF cold cream and melt
| ing II. To this she added half a tea
spoonful OF glycerine, ten drops OF oil
of rose and an ounce OF sweet almond
| oil. This she beat to a cream, and
nightly she applied II to her face In a
| massage.
Her trouble lay at the corners of
her mouth. Many women have trou-
BILE with the corners OF the mouth.
They droop and sag and hang down
and look sad and unpleasant when
they should be attractive.
Massage the cheeks upward TO cor
rect these dropping corners. Wet the
fingers in cold cream and rub the
cheeks upward toward the eyes DO
not rub too vigorously but gently and
perslHtently. Stroke the face upward,
using plenty OF the cream
Hollow cheeks are another blemish
that comes early The woman whose
cheeks sink In will look 40 before she
IL 20. Dissipation hollowa the cheeks.
Too many games Of bridge, TOO many
late suppera, n dance too long viii
make the cheeks hollow.
The beauty whose checks have lost
their dlmples should have her teeth
examined. m che teeth are ali right
u N simply n case of thin cheeks.
