Mllady's
Mirror
How to Cure Wrinkles.

There are other signs more subtle
End potent, but wrinkles are the most
pathetic because the most telltale In
dications Of age. The lines and fur
rows they see disflguring the faces OF
women of middle age ought to make
girls do everything in their power to
ward off wrinkles as long as possible.
Most muscles of the face are voiun-
tary, responding to every passing emo
ton, and if the muscles are constantly
kept at work, as in grimacing and with
odd tricks of expression habitual with
so many women, that lines. then wrln-
kles. will be fostered.
Even children should learn that the
face should be kept in repose. The
little lines around the eyes and the
long ''parentheses" that inclose the
lips and mouth and that are excused
on the ground that they are necessary
to expression, Laughing wrinkles" as
they are called, in reality add years to
ones appearance. 81 there is no need
to fear massage will take away the ex-
preston of the face.
The little vertical lines that so quick
" appear between the eyes as a result
| Of squirting or that are often assumed
in deep thought give N a fierce, rat
like expression, and only by the great
| est care can the habit be overcome.
Another wrinkle maker is the habit
| of lifting the eyebrows. Tiny lines
grow and deepen just above the eyes
and great burrows soon mar the beau
| ty of the forehead.
There are some lotions that are said
| to prevent and others to erase wrin-
kles and which. If not entirely ef1'
cacious, are harmless.
One of the preventives Is made as
follows: Boil three ounces Of pearl
barley in a pint Of water till the
| gluten is extracted. Strain, add thirty
drops of tincture of benzoin and use
as a face wash night and morning.
II the wrinkles have shown. them
selves battle the face in a solution
made by dissolving sixty grains OF
alum in six ounces Of rosewater and
pour gently into n and one-half
ounces Of almond milk. stirring all the
while.

Slit Skirt and Wooden Hose.

What a cruel alternative is put to
the slit skirt wearers by Surgeon Cen
eral Rupert Blue. He is quoted as
saying that when the chilly winds Of
winter. begin to blow the women will
either have to sew up the Sits in their
skirts or wear heavy wooden stock
ings and sensible boots! -
Nearly all the women who affect slit
skirts wear the thinnest kind Of silk
stockings and extremely low slippers"
he is said to have observed. "If they
wish to avoid catching their death of
cold they ought to wear thick wooden
stockings. as their grandmothers did.
or sew up the vents"
When the dictum of DR.. Blue was re-
peated to a we'll known fashion author
ity she shrugged her shoulders and
said: "I'm afraid they'll catch their
death of cold then. But it isn't only
the skirts that should cause the IT.
