Facial Massage for Wrinkles.

The rule in mRsssging the face for
wrinkles ia to work always the op-
posite way from which they have
been originally formed. The work is
done lightly but firmly with the finger
tips, and care Is taken never to press
the wrinkle In more deeply. The pati-
ent is asked to try and relax every
nerve and muscle.
In the forehead there are frequent
ly two kinds of wrinkles, those form.
ed by running the brows up, usually
due to weak or nervous eyes, and
those formed by frowning. The move
ment for rubbing out the first kind
must be a gentle pressure downward,
while the eyes are carefully kept
closed and relaxed. The movement
for rubbing awsy the frown-wrinkles
must be slightly up, but mostly out
following the line Of the eyebrows.
For the small crows feet at the cor
ners Of the eyes the movement is cir
cular, beginning small and growing
larger and larger. The movement for
the cheeks is the same and many mas
seuses win softly pink the cheeks as
wallpapers Bazaar.

saby's Mornlna Bath.

Some mothers will bathe baby's
body regularly, yet not always wash
its head. The baby's head should be
washed every day, and 1t is better to
do this at first; while the baby lie still
in your lap, undressed but covered
with a baby's blanket, wash its face
and dry It; wash out its mouth with
clean warm water or a weak solution
of boric acid; wash each eye separate
ly. then soap its head thoroughly. then
soop its body, and then, with a firm
hold, as follows:
With the palm Of your left hand un-
der the baby's back, with two fingers
around its arm, and with your right
hand firmly hold him by the legs;
lien place him in his bath tub, still
supporting his head with your left
hand, and with your right hand wash
carefully. Do not get the soap in his
eyes.
The baby will enjoy this hugely
and even young baby will splash and
III ak 1t great fun.
The baby should be dressed quick
ly, but not hurriedly.
Have each piece Of clothing warm
so that the baby viii have a warm
cosey feeling after It is dressed.
When giving baby his bath, be SURE
and have everything you can possibly
need ready ct hand.-Woman's Life.

be quickly screwed fast to the wall.
