Interest fOthe Woman

. ~ - brush and rub 1t in with the palm of the hand and fingers. The wrinkles are So fine and soft that it takes great deal of rubbing before you can get them all out
 Even worse Is the mountain wfnkie. It is caused by heavy dews and noun tain winds and by exposure to the dust of the automobile roads. When a wo- man comes to us looking like a trap per. we know that she has the noun tain wrinkle. And the first aid to the petriffed skin Is steam.
 We set a pan of water on the stove and let the woman hold her face over 1t. We try to get her skin perspiring. Then we spread 1t with soft soap made from St. Petersburg formula. It IS nothing more than a good toilet soap melted in hot water and stirred with few drops of altar of rose. It Is then poured into wide-mouthed jar to be- come Jellified. It makes an excellent face paste.
 We spread the customers face with this, using flat brush, and dash 1t on with a spray of hot water, which leaves her as red as the autumn leaves Of the mountains. And now we give her a lotion which, generally reduces the mountain wrinkle to state of docil- ity.
 "The lotion is so simple that she can make it for herself. In 1t there IS the juice of many cucumbers with about half the quantity of sweet almond oil :. To this Is added about teaspoon or white castillo soap and a few drops or 'tincture of benzoin. The quantity diff fers according to skins. but little ex- pertinent will indicate 1t.
 "The mountain massage Is a rotary one, so as to catch the deepest of the wrinkles. With the tips of the three fingers the wrinkles are rubbed round and round until the cream is all rub bed into the skin. This must be done daily until the face begins to look pretty again.
 Worst of all wrinkles is what we call the city wrinkle, and 1t Is found in the faces of women who have spent the summer in town.
 Look at my face,' said customer with parentheses around her mouth ana lines under her eyes, What is the cause of those wrinkles?'
 "'You have remained in town, madam, during the summer. and you have the city wrinkle.
 ''The city wrinkle? And what is that?"
 Tt is the wrinkle that comes from breathing house air. It Is the wrinkle that appears when a woman eats fooo that though correctly prepared Is tame and the same. It is the wrinkle of worry and work; 1t Is the house wrin- kle!
 How long does 1t take to cure it?''
 If you will spend your evenings on the roof a very short time will suffice. Otherwise 1t may take months and perhaps we cannot cure 1t at all. IL requires. s.~outdoor treatment.
 Well. the upshot of the converse tion was that the woman gave us carte blanche to treat her wrinkles and we advised her to take three facial baths day. one of them being cream of milk face bath,
 For a face cream we gave her some sheep's fat strained and scented with jessamine. To this we added an equal quantity of almond oil and just dash of glycerine. It made a very soft and a very healing skin food. Then We told her about the upward massage for her particular brand of face wrinkles. The face is covered with the cream. put on with a stiff brush, and the wrinkles are massaged across and upward.
 Never under any conditions we told her, must you massage @ wrinkle in the wrinkle line. Rub always upward and in such way as to go across the wrinkle; never right in 1t.
 The foundation for October wrinkle creams is oil. We use oil of sweet al- monds, sheep's fat, white wax, sperma- ceti, and glycerin. And we use orange flower water, rose, lilac, and elder flower waters and plenty of borax. The combinations differ according to the nature of the wrinkle. but any woman
 
 Tt is sometimes necessary for wo- man to hunt for the cold cream that best suits her skin. The important thing is the massage. Any good cream benefits the skin, but 1t takes a facial artists to apply 1t properly. Rub it in crossing the wrinkle zone of the face, but be careful never to rub right in the line of the wrinkle nor parallel with it. Try to work at right angles. All the cold cream in the world will be of little avail if woman neglects this precaution.
 we have very few automobile wrin- kles these days. for women have learned the Versailles treatment. which is nothing more than bathing the face with milk and rubbing it with a liberal coating of good face powder before going out in an auto.
 We find that the walking wrinkle lies under the chin. Women have the habit of lowering the chin when walking, though they should lift II very high. The uplifted chin Is charm ing, but the lowered chin is ugly. Yet women forget this.
 "The electric light wrinkle Is per haps the most deadly of all beauty de- stroyers for the reason that 1t comes around the eyes and gives a woman the appearance of squinting and' as every one knows, the squint IS rareiy If ever becoming.
 "women who get electric light wrinkles are the women who go to the theater a great deal; operagoers are more fortunate, as the lights in the boxes are very subdued. Dinner ta- ble lights are usually too vivid for beauty, and the lights In the average reception room are trying to the last degree.
 T gave some good advice about mas sage to an actress with a bad case of electric light wrinkles the other day.
