VALUABLE BEAUTY HINTS.
How to Make Yourself Look Younger
Than You Are.

Than You Are.
There is probably no compliment
which affords a woman greater pleas
look her age Many women do not
feel as old as they really are, but their
looks betray their years. 1t is quite
possible, however, for them to appear
young as well as TO feel young ana, in
fact, take five to ten years off their
age by employing proper treatment.
Take the cheeks, for instance which
as age creeps on have a tendency to
sink while the skin becomes sallow
and lines appear about the mouth.
Massage is the only means by which
the cheeks can be made plump. Take
the tips of the fingers and pat or
lightly strike the cheeks, using a little
cold cream Patting is good for any
face and It is one Of those things
which if practiced in moderation do
a great deal for the skin, pinking it,
smoothing it and rounding it out into
that delicious plumpness which Is so
much desired by every normal woman.
But the woman who wants to look
young must retain her curves In the
young there is always a set of pretty
curves, and these must be reclaimed
should they have disappeared. The
most attractive Of these curves is the
one that is made by the cheek pleas
ing curve at the side Of the face
rounding from the temple to the chin.
A woman's next care must be for
her eyes. The nose can take care of
itself. You can do little with an i'll
shaped nose. But you can make the
rest Of the face so attractive that a
small defect of the nostril Is not no
ticed
To attempt to treat the eyes with
drugs to make them bright Is Of
course extremely dangerous. No med
icine should 90 into the eyes as bright
eners. But the eyes can be made to
grow bright by intelligent care Of
them. Early hours will keep the eyes
In good condition. But as every wom-
an cannot keep early hours and as
many women would think the penalty
of early to bed too much to pay for
optic beauty the best thing to do is to
take proper care of the eyes. Do not
rock while you are reading, for this
compels the eyes constantly to change
their focus and Injuries them Do not
face a strong light. Do not read or
write when you are mentally exhaust
ed. Never wear glasses that do not
fit the eyes, and do not look tixedly
at one spot too long. Rest your eyes
frequently by closing them, and never
upon any account press upon the eye
/ balls.
If the eyes are small they should
/ be made larger by reducing the fat Of
the face Small eyes are usually
caused by the cheeks being too fat.
Plump cheeks are pretty, but fat
| cheeks are a drawback to beauty. The
fat woman generally has twinkling lit
tie eyes, and the woman who once had
large, dreamy, sentimental orbs will
find that as she grows stouter the
dreamy sentiment disappears behind
the mounds of fat that grow up under
her eyes.
The beauty of the eyes are greatly
assisted by uice long lashes and good
eyebrows. II the lashes are short they
can be trea ed, not by cutting them.
but by bathing The eyes in weak SO
luton Of bOracic acid and by using
tepld water upon them when they are
tired. Cutting the lashes seldom gives
good results, while the pulling out Of
the lashes in the hope that they will
come in thicker is positively injurious.
The woman who wants to take ten
years off her age must fight stoutness.
