and at so there was little change.
The woman who learns how to mas
sage her face need never grow old. If
she will pay proper attention to her
figure she will look nearly as young
five years from now as she looks to-
day. And each succeeding five years
will add little to her age. She will
keep her complexion and her youth
marvelously we'll
But she must learn how to massage
in the right way. If she messages
wrongly she not only clogs up her
skin, but she enlarges the pores and
often it happens that she does damage.
All massage must be done in a GER
tain way. And the woman who is 60
ing to learn how to massage her skin
must learn to do it right.
These are some of the young-old
! Englishwoman's rules as revealed by
! her maid:
The deep creases of old age must be
treated by steaming. Make a sort of
cap for your face and bind it on with
! straps and strings. The best mate
rial is plain white flannel of the soft,
! cheap variety, rather heavy and not
! inclined to shrink.
The face cap is made in one piece
! The flannel is cut in a circle A hole
is then cut in the middle And the
hole is just large enough to accommo-
date the eyes, the nose and the mouth
/ Strings are then sewed on and the cap
is tied in tn back.
1t is best to take two or three thick
nesses of flannel and sew them to-
gether, padding them somewhat. A
hole is then cut in the middle and the
cap is put on the face. 1t is so fitted
| that the flannel covers the forehead
| the chin AMI the cheeks. But there is
a hole in the middle, through which
the eyes, nose and mouth can be seen
The flannel should be dipped in hot
water. 1t should then be wrung out
lightly and applied to the face. 1t will
tingle, and il should be left on until
1t feels comfortable, or until the skin
begins to sweat. This sweat ting of the
face is the best of all things known to
the complexion specialist. 1t opens The
pores and takes out the dirt.
Now, while the face is warm. a little
hot water can be lashed over it to
cleanse the pores. And then the mas
sage begins.
To massage the open pores with a
skin food is the next step. And the
food should be good and of a kind that
agrees with the skin. There are skins
that cannot endure glycerin and others
| that can use it if little is EMPLOYED.

positive that\it agrees with he flesh.
There are some that initiate the skin.
All skin foods are best when they
sre slightly soft. This ena bles them to
| sink into the skin Let the hands be
| warm and this viii also nelp. for it
makes the skin still softer and more
! open to the food"
Let the wrinkles of the forehead be
the first ones to treat. They run in
| two opposite directions.
There are the crossways wrinkles,
| which. run from the temple locks TO
the temple locks. There are the little
narrow wrinkles. which run up and
down between the eyes and directly
over the nose.
Take the hose wrinkles and rub
across them. Rub from side to side
! Never UP ana down. These nose"
wrinkles, as they are called, are the
ones that lie directly between the two
eyebrows They are right over the
nose and they are the most disfiguring
of all wrinkles. They make The face

Dip the "lnger tips in your skin
! food and rub across these wrinkles.
You will be amazed to see how quickly
| they will disappear OF course, they
will come back again. But you can
| plump out the skin with the food and
drive the wrinkles away.
The next day the nose wrinkles will
be back again. But they will not be
quite so deep. And you can massa ge
them away again. And so you can
keep on. You can massage them
| every night, and, in time, they will
all be gone. But you must always rub
across them. Never up and down.
They will only be the deeper.
The forehead wrinkles that rim RIM
from side to side or from temple to
temple, all the way across the fore
head, can be treated ty rubbing them
up and down. Take lots of skin food,
rub up and down-always moving at
right angles to the wrinkle-and in
time you viii see these lines begin TO
yield. They usually are deep and hard
to reach. Bat they are not SO dis
figuring, because, in the. case of a
woman they can be wholly or partially
hidden by the hair dressing.
