Listen, ye fair seekers after the physi-
ognomy beautiful. Miss Lillian Russell has
at last given away the secret OF her per-
petual hold on youth and beauty.
Don't chew gumr'
This is the warning that the fair Lillian
hands out to the thousands Of young and
millions of old women who annually gaze
upon her charms, and who envy her and
long for the secret that brings the fair
Lillian around to us each year, younger and
fresher than ever.
The secret Is out now.
Don't chew gum! 1t puts lines around
the mouth"
Probably the decree issued by Miss Rus
sell TO those who would follow In her steps
will bring woe TO many a feminine heart
TO whom the little wad of gum has come
to be absolutely necessary to complete com
fort. But henceforth II must be done
away with II one is to hope to be beauti-
full. Miss Russell says so, and no one will
dispute Miss Russells knowledge in this
respect. She is easily the best living ex-
ample of what fair womankind can do in
the way of defying the ravages OF time
and in remaining perennially beautiful and
lovely. She has studied the matter OF so
remaining beautiful until she has 1t down
to a fine science. And she says positively
that the girl who is in the habit of chewing
gum can never hope 20 acquire beauty, and
If beautiful already she is sure to lose it
through the pernicious habit.
1T is an absolute fact that gum chew
ing is inimical to the beauty OF the face, "
says Miss Russell Persons who have ac-
qured the habit of chewing gum to ex-
cess can never be beautiful. If they do
possess the smooth skin and regularity of
features that make a beautiful face, the
habit will soon ruin II all. And no girl or
woman who is striving to be beautiful
with the aid of a beauty doctor will ever
attain her aims II she chews gum. All
that the beauty specialist may do to de-
velop or decrease features so as TO make
the whole symmetrical and beautiful will
be spoiled by gum chewing. Leave 1t alone
II you wish to retain the lovely freshness
of youth"
When Lillian Russell condescends to give
out hints in regard to the retaining of the
freshness of youth she must be listened to
with respect No one knows so well as
Lillian what the secret Of retaining youth
happens to be. She has retained her youth
longer, better and fresher than any woman
before the public today. OF the stage beau
ties today she is easily the leader, just as
she was the leader five, ten, twenty-but
why count the years that she has been su-
preme? The palm for perennial beauty has
been awarded her long ago. She has, by
all the evidences of sight, found the secret
sought for by Ponce de Leon so many years
ago and now she gives 1t to the public
without charge and without price.
Don't chew gum. The tendency of ex'
cessive mastication is to pull the lower ia"
cial muscles out of shape, develop the little
muscles at the corner of the jaw, and bring
deep perpendicular lines on both sides OF
the mouth" is the manner in which Miss
Russell forbids gum chewing to beauty as
pirants. mo one can hope to be beautiful
with such n handicap The essence OF
beauty is smoothness of contour. Angu
larity and Jumps are absolutely impossible
Lines in the face anywhere are indica'
tive of age and about the mouth they give
an especially aged. harsh expression to the
whole appearance. Gum chewing is sure
to bring these lines there. AS conse
auence there is nothing for the girl whC
wants to be beautiful TO do but to eschev
gum no matter how dear it has come t
be to her,"
