RUBBING OUT THE WRINKLES.

There is story going the rounds
of a New York woman who has just
paid 81 900 to have wrinkle taken
out of her forehead.
1t was a very deep wrinkle and she
could not look at herself in the glass
without feeling distress at the sight
of it.
"I am an old woman," she said to
her maid, "yet am only go"
Finally she found a beauty special
ist who was able to oremove the wrin-
kle and her happiness was restored.
That shows the importance attached
by some persons to wrinkles.
Forehead wrinkles are of two va
rieties. There are wrinkles running
from temple to temple and wrinkles
running up and down.
The worst wrinkles are those that
go up and down between the eyes,
for there is no hiding them. The
lorgnette simply calls attention to
them, and bangs and frizzes fail to
conceal them. They are always there
and they give the face menacing
look.
These temple to temple wrinkles
can be covered up in way. The POM
padour can be pulled down in chorus
girl fashion, hiding them on one side
or the hair can be banged and curled
in English style, heavy and deep in
the front.
These wrinkles can be in great
measure covered up. Yet, cover
them up as she will. no woman's
forehead will ever look youthful if
she allows wrinkles to remain.
''I can tell a woman's age" said
an expert, "by looking at her fore
head. If there are deep wrinkles, I
know she is old and careless, which is
bad combination for a woman"
In these days of plumping creams
a woman can keep her hands in shape
past the age of 40, and if she goes to
a cosmetic dentist she can preserve
her teeth, but it takes wise woman
to know how to take care of her fore
head.
In spite of all her efforts there will
be wrinkle for every year of her
life. Frequently there are fifty wrin-
kles in the forehead of a woman so
years old.
The best wrinkle remedy is cold
cream. But there are wrinkles and
wrinkles, and there is cold cream and
cold cream.
To treat wrinkle as it should be
treated requires fnesse and diplomacy.
You must handle it as though it were
crinkled piece of tissue paper, and
you must keep it supplied with food
and you must keep it supplied with
food and you must pamper the skin
of an infant.
Taking it for granted that you
have discovered the kind of cold cream
which your skin needs, you must
feed this cream to the wrinkle. You
must steam the wrinkle, open its
pores, and while they are receptive
you must give them enough cold
cream to restore them to plumpness.
You must actually build up the skin.
"My wrinkles have returned, :"
wrote duches to beauty doctor. II
paid you a fabulous sum for taking
them out of my face, and now they
are back again.
To this the doctor replied II
guaranteed that 1 would take out
your wrinkles, not that / would keep
them out. Wrinkles must be taken
out every day. You must remove
them as you remove soil from your
gown or spots from your hands.
Wrinkles come in a day and must be
banished every night, or every time
they return, if it is twice a day."
To take out your wrinkles, steam
your skin. Now, steaming the face
in the hand of an amateur is ex-
tremely difficult. The tendency is
to burn the face.
Don't try a regular steamer, and
don't monkey with the tea kettle.
Take pan of water and keep it warm
over flame and then apply hot cloths
| to the face.
Keep on until your skin feels ten
der, but never until it is sore. Now
is the time to apply cold cream, which
should be very soft. The best wrin-
kle cream is of the consistency of the
cream of milk, and it can be spread
on the face very quickly. If your
cream is too thick, heat it slightly
and thin it with the oil of sweet al
monds. 1t should be soft to the fin
ger tips. Then let it cool and apply
it to the skin.
Never try to apply skin lotion
when it is cold. 1t should always be
slightly heated. Set the jar in ba-
sin of hot water and when it is warm
it will be ready to put on the face.
And, another rule, always bathe the
face with hot water first.
In rubbing out wrinkles just fancy
that your cuticle is crinkled piece
of tissue. Take, just for practise, a
piece of tissue on the lap and rub out
the wrinkles. Note.how your fingers
work. They go across the creases,
not into them.
If you were to rub directly into the
line of the creases you would deepen
them and perhaps break your piece
of tissue paper. So when you rub
