WOMEN SHOULD TRY
TO LOOK YOUNG
No Reason Why Woman of
Fifty Should Not Look
Twenty-Five

A woman who iectured to women re-
Gently upon taking care of themselves,
and especially their faces and hair.
said some very true things about the
contrast of a mans face and that of
his wife. She said that if they had
both been sitting up with a sick child,
In the morning both would look equal
ly haggard and worn. The man, how
ever, would go to the nearest barber
shop and come back looking five years
younger; or he would shave himself
with the. same result. What of his
wife? She would hastily dab her
face with little cold water and look
a wreck all day long.
All this woman asked of women is
to give as much attention to their
faces as men do. That is not ask
Ing much. The trouble with women
is that with the best intentions In the
world, they will not stick to a course
Of treatment if it involves any trou-
Die. AS this woman said, you will see
some one with a $40 hat on top of ill
groomed and untidy hair, and no mat
ter how beautiful hat or how ex-
pensive one, it is wasted If the
woman wearing 1t does not take care
Of her hair and keep it neat and
smooth. There is not the slightest
reason in the world why woman Of SO
5nOulO not look ike 20 IL she VIII TAKE
the trouble to care for herself. 1t
means time and work, but keeping
young in appearance certainly pays.
The sloppy. untidy, down at the heel
kind of a woman can never be a great
success at anything. Men may sneer
at the woman who uses cosmetics, and
the one who works to keep young
when he talks to his wife who has
grown old-but you will notice If you
watch him that he seeks the society
of the well groomed woman and his
eyes will follow her on the street
Even if a woman is not beautiful, there
Is no reason she should not be attract
I've. To dress in good taste, to keep
ones hair we'll brushed and becom-
lngly dressed, to have ones turnover
collar neat and evenly pinned in the
back, never to wear gloves with holes
In them, all of these little things are
inexpensive and add greatly to a
Womans appearance.
The very neat woman with no loose
ends is attractive because of that one
thing alone. She will never have
ragged ends hanging from her petit
coats, her shoe strings will not hang
out her hair will not be blowing ev-
cry which way, and a hundred signs
will proclaim her the we'll ordered
woman. The woman who is afflicted
with flesh is perhaps not to be blamed
groomed, for the stout woman has
many trials her slender sister does not
dream of. But as rule the average
woman has time and means to devote
at least fifteen minutes day to the
care of her hair and skin. Indeed,
now and then one will meet a haggard
looking woman whose face is full of
lines and her hair thin, who will tell
you that she has nothing to do. You
wish you were in a position to tell her
that if time hangs heavily on her
hands, to use little of 1t in trying
to do away with the ravages of time.
Then disposition has much to do
with the lines on a womans face. liz
she is of a naturally sunny tempera-
ment cheerful and bright, 1t is re-
fiected in her face, and IL she is the
reverse it is also registered there
Peevishness, faultfinding and habit
of looking on the dark side, all leave
telltale marks which take away from
a woman's beauty. Worry will make
one old before the time comes more
quickly than anything else. and worse
than that it will spoil life for those
who have to live with a worrying
woman.
1t is unfortunately true that too
often q woman will look much older
than man of the same age. More
than anything else it is merely a ques-
ton Of taking the time to groom; but
women are too lazy to care for their
faces and their hair. The discovery
recently claimed by an eastern man,
of a serum which cures laZiness, may
be a valuable thing for some women
who, if they are married appear to
think it is no longer necessary to look
we'll No woman in the world needs
grooming like the married woman of
middle age who begins to show the
ravages of time. 1t lies with herself
entirely, whether she is to look old
or young. 1t means, however, a little
trouble and effort, but it pays greatly.
