 NOT MAKE ONE OLD

Much has been said and written about preserving youthful looks long after youth has made its final adieu. and there Is a legion of prescriptions and remedies to check the heeting god- dess in her rapid flight.
 But not one of them is so good as ones firm determination not to become old and to do everything In ones pow CT through exercise and an appropri- ate, sensible mode of living not'to let the number of one's years interfere with ones good looks, good health and general attractiveness.
 The woman who works may indulge in home gymnastics morning and even ing and thus keep her figure in perfect trim.
 Commence in the morning, devoting about ten minutes immediately upon rising to the bending exercise.
 This is accomplished by trying to touch the floor with the tips of the fin- gers. by bending back so that by push ing back the weight of the body rests upon the heels.
 This exercise Is not easy. but prac- tice will make 1t so, and any efforts spent on 1t are well spent as it Is the best remedy known for reducing su- perffuous flesh and creating 1.-the, supple figure.
 To prevent round shoulders. stretch the arms out as wide as you can. giv- ing full expansion to the chest: then bend them in the elbow points, spply- ing the hands so to the nape of the neck that the finger tips touch.
 This exercise is extremely effective and should be taken as often as pos- sibie.
 Another aid for preserving a youth full appearance is to drink a cup of steaming hot water as soon as you get out of bed.
 After the morning bath the hands should be taken care of. No other task will prove so extremely gratifying and so much worth while than that of giv- ing the proper care of them, and no matter how lax you may become in giving your hands their proper share of attention, few days work over them will restore them to beauty.
 The best thing you can do for your face is to massage 1t with good. pure cold cream, using an upward, rotary movement. either with the finger tips, or with the. palms of the hands.
 It Is natural to have furrows under the eyes. but If one Is not careful they will develop into pronounced wrinkles and crows feet. Therefore 1t will Se we'll to carefully wash those portions of the skin with soap and very hot water. so as to leavesthem immaculate ly clean. and then to massage them with cold cream.
 When returning from business, little warm water will remove the soil of the day and leave your skin fresh and sweet.
 When you go to bed wash your face thoroughly with warm water, dry 1t well and then dash cold water, on It. so that every particle of dust and powder is removed and the pores are no long CT clogged, but wide open for nights airing. -.
 The same applies to your neck. arms and hands, and when you are convinced that every trace of the day Is eiimi- and massage your face. neck and arms with 1t, applying with firm, steady TO- tary movements, until your skin glows with cleanliness and health.
 Do not retire with your hair done up, leaving all the combs and pins in their places.
 This is not only extremely unsani- tary, but a very bad habit, and your tousied head with the pins and combs scattered in all directions will look far from pretty when you arise in the morning.
 Take your hair down Instead remove everything that does not belong there, such as pompadour rolls, combs, pins and ribbons. and give the hair good, thorough shaking. so as to free 1t from the dust that has accumulated there In the course of the day.
 This done, brush your hair for at least a quarter of an hour. comb 1t out well, and braid 1t in a loose plait, or leave 1t open, spreading 1t over the pillow when you lie down. The latter method Is by far the better. but 1t has the great disadvantage that. If you move in your sleep. your hair will be rather entangled in the morning. where as it will be smooth If you follow the former method.
 When getting up, repeat the shaking and brushing process of your hair. and if you keep this habit up regularly you will soon notice Its beneficial effect.
