KEEPING THE LOOK OF MOUTH
Parisiennes Are. Probably the Most
sucoessfuI In This, But Many May
achieve IL

A Russian princess who has attract
ed much attention in Paris this winter,
and who is considered one of the best
dressed women in that city, declares
that nothing ages a Womans appear
ance so much as the old-fashioned
method Of pushing the flesh up above
the corset.
How few women who have passed
the dangerous" age stop to think OF
this, yet Is it not true? The settled
look that comes with middle age is
enhanced by stiff-corseted figure
above the waist.
Put money into good corset, have
it fitted sitting down, and in adjust
ing 1t be sure to pull it far down
and grid It firmly round the hips.
Many women find as they grow
older they must have their evening
gowns cut high. This need not be
done If care is taken to get corset
that has low bust.
From Paris comes another hint
about youthful looks A famous
dressmaker says that real lace ages
women and should never be worn
near the face.
| The Parisienne has learned to fight
age more successfully than most
women because she pays heed to de
tails that to others seem trivial She
makes a study of line, angle ano
color, and who will say the results
are not worth the trouble?

young looking. The worst way to dc
it is to feign youth through cosmetics

HUMAN NATURE NOT so BAD
New York Newspaper Man Observes
With Pleasure the Aid Given
the Blind.

If you doubt that human nature IS
kind, watch the ordinary passerby In
his attitude toward a blind man. The
office window man was riding in
Broadway open car the other day. The
car was just barely moving owing TO
some blockade or other, and kept
about even pace with the pedestrians
who crowded the pavements in their
usual daily hustle.
The eye of the Office Window casu-
ally lit upon a blind man, walking
alone, with that upright tilt OF the
head so common to the sightless. he
tapped his stick necessarily before
him and moved briskly until he neared
the end of each block, with its hazard
GUS curb. The car kept pace with
him for seven blocks, and upon every
block some one took charge of that
blind man as he came to the curb, saw
him safely over and said pleasant
word in parting.
One young man stayed near him for
three blocks, steering him over rhe
crossings each time. Probably the
man with the tapping stick thought
the friendly guide was a different man
for every block. Or does his ear be
come SO delicately attuned to voices
that he fairly sees through hearingY
