BEST TRICK NOT IN THE AIR
Remarkably Sound Advice for tho
Woman Who Has Some Years
Of Life to Her Credit.

Tho wae to ward off old age is not
to fear it. not to allow ones self to
be oppressed by the dread Of advan-
cling years. Use only legitimate pre-
ventives and avoid trying experiments
with preparations not Endorsed by
physicians. Do not wear tOiletteS in
tended for young girls. they only add
years to the appearance. Keep up
your interest in the young, but do not
envy them. Retire with dignity from
the struggle, do not pose a your
daughters rival. Above all, surround
your life with sweet. true affections
which prevent the heart from growing
bitter. DO not lose interest in the
growing events OF the day: do not fall
behind the times and do not harp on
other ard better days. To those who
come to you for advice be always kind
and sympathetic. AS you advance in
years preserve carefully your personal
appearance, for once lost it may not
be regaincd save by strenuous effort.
Your costumes should be simple and
unpretcntious, yet graceful. These
rules. carefully and ~sansibly followed,
will keep You young and attractive
