THE WRINKLE PROBLEM.

L
The wrinkle problem is the most
serious one woman ever has TO
solve in taking care Of her good
looks. Even the weight question is
simple compared to 1t, for whereas a
woman can always control her
pounds 1t is not always that she can
subdue her wrinkles.
Wrinkles come into a womans face
at varying times in her life. There
are children who show wrinkles be-
tween the eyes. These are almost
always due to defective eyesight, and
II the eyes are properly attended to
the wrinkles will go.
| Wrinkles can frequently be counted
in the forehead of a girl of Is and
the debutante when she Stands by
the side of her mother shaking hands
may have wrinkles travelling across
her brow. These are the questioning
wrinkles, the lines that come from
peerlng into the future.
AT % most women have wrinkles;
at 80 almost all women have them.
At 40 wrinkles may be said to be uni
yersal, and II is not until she has
passed the 40 mark and begins to
long to look young again that the
average woman realizes that 1t is the
wrinkles that make her look old
| There are smiling wrinkles and
wrinkles of character and beauty, so
II is said. but no one believes IT. In
the eyes of the world all wrinkles
are ugly.
Wrinkles come in the forehead
from various causes. One of these is
tight shoes. Put on shoe a num-
Der too short or letter too narrow
and the forehead will begin TO
wrinkle. Tight shoes are responsible
for the set lines around the mouth as
well as for the deep wrinkles be-
tween the eyes
The woman who has indigestion
will have sacs under her eyes and
little furrows at the corners. The
woman whose head aches all the time
will have furrows stretching upward
from the corners of her mouth to her
ears.
Then there are the lines that run
up and down between the eyes. These
lines are caused by disappointment,
bad temper and all the other dis
agreeable things. The forehead is a
great index TO character. If your
forehead is furrowed it is pretty safe
TO say that your disposition is fur
rowed also.
There are wrinkles that are very
deep. but can be taken out easily. Sun
wrinkles, which are caused by a
drive in the sun without suitable pro-
lection, can be taken out In night.
The same is true of wind wrinkles,
blown into the face on rough day.
They can be taken out with the fin
ger tips and massage cream.
There is woman whose skin is
pink as rose leaf and as thin as
paper, II is always out of repair, for
the reason that it is so delicate. Yet
she coaches, drives, walks, golfs and
does other athletic things without re-
gard TO her skin, because she knows

remedy is cream of milk.
When she comes back at night
from an outing she has brought to
her a bowl of real cream. With II
are a basin of hot water and little
soft white facial scrubbng brush.
With these the woman repairs her
damaged skin.
With the hot water she daubs + !
face, putting it on gently with the
brush. She does not scrub, but APP
plies the hot water. letting 1t trickle
off her face into the basin She thus
heats her skin thoroughly.
Next comes the application of
cream. Taking a painful Of 1t she
spats 1t on her face until her warm
skin is covered with It, She now lies
back upon the cushions to let the
cream dry on the face. 1t takes
about three minutes.
She applies more cream this time
massaging it in and particularly go
ing over the wrinkles which looked
so deep and menacing. 1t is the
work of perhaps ten minutes all told
but II Is pleasant and cooling and
the results are satisfactory.
Finally the cream is lightly dashed
off with the hot water, and then heI
face is ready for its cloud of powder
If a wrinkle remains in the forehead
or around the mouth it gets another
dose of cream. and the finger tips

: The wrinkles that run around the
J mouth are of an entirely different
nature. They are the wrinkles very
likely of age. and it is more difficult
TO take them away. These marks mus
be treated over night.
The woman with these lines arounC
