Avoid Wrinkles.

Frequently wrinkles are the result
Of bad habits, such as repeated con-
tracing of the eyebrows, which forms
small lines-sOmetimes one deep one
between the brows; the lifting of the
eyebrows, which results in transverse
lines on the forehead.
A stereotyped smile frequently i'm,

First White BRIDAL Gown

The first bride to wear a White SIR
wedding gown was Mary Queen of
Scots, who introduced the fashion in
1858 when she married Francis II Of
France Her dress was of white bro
cade, but over it she wore court
mantle of Persian blue velvet which
was held up by two pages. For some
time the white wedding dress was fOv-
ored only by brides of high rank, and
it was not till the end of the seven
teenth century that it became general
at weddings. At the close of the mid
die ages scarlet was worn by brides on
their wedding day. and scarlet is still
the bridal color in China.

Probably the origin of the foot bind
