too. her dresses would be long now.
At least, knew that should find

GETTING Rid Of Wrinkles.

The majority of women are more
dIsmayed at the sight OF wrinkles
than about any other physical de-
feet, because as a rule wrinkles mean
approaching age. The forehead and
about the mouth are where the
wrinkles become the deepest. For the
most part wrinkles on the forehead
are caused by the sad and bad habit
OF scowIlng whenever absorbed In any
thing. You must break yourself OF
the habit OF scowling II you wish TO
get rid OF the wrinkles, for cosmetics
can do hardly any good alone. An ex.
ceilent way to remove wrinkles is by
the use Of astrlngents. boracic acid
added to q simple ointment, tea
spoonful to an ounce. is a good prep
aration. Put the grease on along the
lines of the wrinkles. rubbing across
them. OF course. and seeing that the
grease is applied to the deepest part
OF them. Another good way to use
boracic acid Is to add II to glycerine.
a level teaspoonful to an ounce Of
glycerine. Paint the wrinkles with a
camel's hair brush or a swab Of
cotton.

DEALING WITH REsrLEss CHILD.
Provide Some Employment That
Suits Natural Needs.

When a boy or girl is restless, can.
not SIT still or leases for something
to do. It is positively cruel to insist
upon quiet for fear OF punishment.
Every child that is healthy to a nor
NAL degree Graves exercise. When a
child ls hungry we feed him and give
him water when he is thirsty. II We
respect these cravings OF child. why
should we not give him employment
when he has nothing TO do and Graves
exercise? Romp with him for half
an hour or take him for 4 walk or run
and then he will be content TO settle
down to quieter games.
Don't have 30 many breakable orna-
ments about the house that the child
is afraid to move and becomes nerv-
Gus and cross from want OF exercise.
The child's health and well.being are
more valuable than even the most cost
ly bric-a.brac. II 1t is a rainy day pro-
vide some fascinating game or occu-
patton. There is nothing which chill.
dren love to do more than color pic
lures.
Give a child several old magazines.
box Of water colors. and several
paint brushes. and he will be happy
and contented for an hour or more.

How Hats Are Worn.

vEARNlno OF THE soul.
Writers Desires Expressed IN Moas
Beautiful Prose Verse.

Through every grass-blade In the
many thousand grasses; through the

with all the energy the sunbeams had
poured unwearied on the earth since
Sesostris was conscious OF them on the
ancient sands: with all the life that
had been lived by vigorous man and
beauteous woman since first in dearest
Greece the dream Of the gods was
woven; with all the souLlife that had
flowed a long stream down TO mel
prayed that might have q soul more
than equal TO. far beyond my concep-
ton OF those things OF the paSt. the
present, and the fullness Of all life;
not only equal to these, but beyond,

could imagine; that might take from
all their energy, grandeur. and beauty.

might be more than the cosmos Of life.
