THE FACE OF 40
AND THAT OF 10.


face of a woman of 40 does not differ
from the face of a girl of Is. FIRE.
quently, if the face be we'll preserv-
ed, there are no crows feet at all.
The face of the woman of 40, says
the New York Sun, is smooth and fair
and free from blemish. And partic-
ularly is this true if the woman be
well informed upon facial massage and
understands the trick of taking out
the wrinkles as fast as they come.
The difference between the woman
of 40 and the girl of Is, is seen in
the figure. The woman is heavy;
she is tull around the hips her Shout
ders are rounding and her arms bulge
out.
The girl, on the other hand. is slim.
It follows, therefore, that the woman
who would preserve her youthful looks
must give as much attention to her
figure as she does to her face. And,
if she needs reducing. Lent is the
time in which to do it.
There is story told of a New York
woman whose husband brought from
Europe two gifts for her, a diamond
necklace and a diamond belt. Now,
it happened that during his absence
this woman had taken life lazily and
had put on flesh.
On trying on the necklace, she found
it half an inch too small. Her waist
line, too, had increased. and the dia-
mond belt would not meet by d whole
inch.
1t was a desperate situation. The
woman, wishing to wear the necklace
and the belt, and to wear them very
soon, sent for a beauty specialist.
What can 1 do to reduce quickly"
said she. Il want to wear my belt
and my necklace within a few days"
81 can make them fit you in three
weeks" said the specialist, but no
sooner"
1t was in vain that the woman pro-
tested; the specialist was firm.
IF l reduce you sooner" said he.
'"your neck and your waist will be
too muscular. The cords will stand
out upon your throat, and your waist
will be thin, but not round nor grace
full"
There was nothing to be done, but
to submit, and the woman began to
prepare for three weeks of torture and
Impotence.
But to her surprise, nothing unpleas-
ant was prescribed. She was put up
on a diet, but it included so many
articles of food that it was no hard
ship at all. AS for exercise and CAL
isthenics, she had very little.
Several times she went to her beauty
specialist and asked him to hurry the
process. Each time he advised pa
thence. you will be thin at the end
of three weeks" he declared.
His directions were very simple.
Half an hour before breakfast she
was to take a whole grape fruit and
a cup of water not too hot; for break
fast one tablespoon of oatmeal with
sliced oranges; no cream and no sugar.
For the middle meal of the day, four
slices of toast, nicely sailed, and all
the spinach, chops and celery she
wanted were allowed. She. was to
have nothing to drink for an hour aft
err dinner, then two glasses of grape
juice.
For the evening meal she ate toast.
nicely sailed, and all the stewed fruit
she wanted. She was to drink moth
ing but a glass of grape juice an hour
later in the evening.
Then there was little something
else by the way of treating the COM
plexion at the same time, and this
consisted of a teaspoon of phosphate
water taken before breakfast every
morning.
Now" said the specialist, while
you are dieting you must have food
for the mind. Go out every morning
and take a brisk walk up Fifth ave-
nue.
Go all the way up to Central Park
and through the Park to the upper
end. Turn around and come back
home.
Rest as often as you please, but
do not eat or drink anything. The
round trip may take you about three
hours or all the afternoon.
At the end of ten days her neck was
smaller, and when the three weeks
were up her belt met around her waist
and the necklace clasped about her
throat. Still she was a great deal too
fat.
Now" said the beauty specialist.
1--WE have started, we will go on with
the job. But now we will treat the
fat more severely.
1--WE have been treating 1t in an
way, but now we will treat
fat as it should be treated. We will
stamp it out. We will abuse 1t. We
will drive it away and 50 brighten it
that it will take it year to return"
The woman was delighted.
Tell me how to begin" said she.
Begin with three things" replied
the teacher. And let these three
things be a gymnasium suit. a wand
and a drum and drumsticks. The
gymnasium and the other appoint
ments you can do without"
The woman did as she was told
And for the next few days she was
busy upon a gymnasium suit which
