cheeks.
4 They are n sign OF youth, and
every woman wants TO be young.
They are a sign of health. and every
woman wants, or ought to want, to be
healthy. They are sign Of happiness.
for the face grows merrily full when the
heart is light and gay.
But plump checks are a sign of more
than all of these; they are a sign of good
bodily care. Unless you take care Of
yourself, you viii not have plump cheeks
after you are seventeen years old. And.
il you neglect yourself much. your
cheeks win sag horribly from the time
you are twenty.
Women OF thirty show their age not so
much by their eyes as by their cheeks.
The cheeks grow a little thin, a little
withered, little yellow. a little baggy-
and the story is told! The woman has
lost her youth.
Do you want to lose your youth? Do
you want to be forty years old? Do you
look forward TO the age of fifty with
happiness? Would you not prefer to be
on the sunny side of thirty forever?
And You Can Be.
Staying young is a matter OF prefer
ence. II you want to stay young, you
can easily do so. You don't have TO grow
old. No woman ever grew old without
her r,orfec. ,--ftrfr.-,,o-- e. l. - -
woman ever slid into the sore and yell
low leaf without acknowledging her
willingness to reach this stage. No wo-
man ever became withered and haggard
and all out of shape unless she either
tried to become this way or neglected
herself until Dame Nature rebeIled and
got even.
Yet Dame Nature is very long suf-
fering parsonage She will endure
great deal without retaliation. But when
it comes to letting your teeth get away
from you; when it comes to allowing
your skin TO shrivel up; when it comes
to pimples and spots. to sunburp and all
sorts OF saggy, baggy appearances, then
Dame Nature draws the line and says,
This woman wants to look old. Be
hold. will make her old And 1 will
not be slow about IT.
Old in a Few Years.
Old age does not always come grad
ually. It occasionally darts upon a per-
son. There are women who hold their
own wonderfully But one day they
wake to find themselves withered and
whitened. They cry aloud in horror as
they look at themselves in the glass, for
they see that old age is upon them.
There are many things which bring old
age to a woman. Worry, III temper,
lack of care. and a dozen other things
make one old. But Of them all, lack of
care IS the worst. The woman whose
cheeks sink in shows that she has not
taken care Of herself. Her cheeks
should never fall IN, no matter II she
lives TO be 100 years old.
Don't let your cheeks fall in. Let
them remain plump and pretty. II you
are thin in the face. look in the glass
and take stock Of yourself. Is the thin.
ness all on one side, or is It evenly dis
tributed2 There are women whose
cheeks do not fall in evenly. They are
much fatter on one side of the face than
on the other. This causes the mouth TO
twist and to draw.
The Face Is Crooked.
II such is the case with you; IL one
cheek is thinner than the other go to
work upon your face. It is probably
due. or was due in the beginning, 10 a
missing tooth. Have you supplied the
tooth? And. IL not, why do you not
get il put back? II can be bridged, or
It can be put in by some process that
is not at all difficult. 1t may cost a
little money. but what is money when
II IS a question OF the preservation OF
your youth? Isn't money that is spent
in that way money that is well spent?
You will never exDend dollar 20 better
purpose than upon your looks.
Don't have a space in the back OF
your mouth. 1t means thin, crooked
