Do YOU feed your wrinkles and culti-
yate a bland expression? These are
questions all good beauty doctors are
likely to ask nowadays.
In every great city sanctum dedicated
to the charms Of woman, there is inces-
SAINT talk Of the needlessness of wrin-
kIes admirable argument for the simple
methods OF their partial il not entire
dispersal For one must not expect to
remove all the traces OF n lifetime Of
NEGLECT. Eternal vigilance is the price Of
beauty. and so the naughty wrinkle must
be taken in hand at a very early age. II
must be spanked and fed. soothed and
forced nightly into submission to heart
and mind.
Give a child free reign from the
time he is born. won't he CONQUER you?
asks one Medicine Woman astutely. So
take your wrinkle in its infancy. Begin
its training today.
A little preliminary talk is necessary
for this subject, for all information on
the wrinkle goes toward the remedy.

And these are without counting the dire

these baleful conditions and slovenly

MInee Meat.
One cupful boiled chopped meat, 1

cider. 1 cupful seeded raisins, / cupful
meat liquor. 4 cupful chopped citron,
Il cupful molasses. Il cupful chopped
dried prunes, tablespoonful salt, 1 ia

the rind of a lemon and an orange

piles.
Boil the meat, preferably beef from
the round. until tender and use the
liquor in which it is boiled. Mix all the
ingredients and cook until the apples
are clear If you have at hand some
rich preserve or canned fruit juice, 1t
may be substituted for the cider or the

Mix an even tablespoonful of corn
starch with three-Quarters of a cup

tress Of hideously worried eyes, and
face scanned by fretting over petty an
noyances? For a great grief seldom
leaves these ugly traces, being rather en-
nobling in its shadow. They result from
the trashy. everyday nonsense about the
butcher. the baker and the Candlestick
maker: the foolish fume over clothes;
the envy of the neighbours OK and ass
and all that is hers. In fact, nine times
out OF ten. il is foolishness which Is sod
mother TO the wrinkle. Rub the seam
out Of your heart first. and then look to
your face.
The Feeding process Of eradicsting
wrinkles. begins in this way: The skin
is washed in warm water and then the
line persistently pressed apart with the
fingers while olive oil Is poured in. Not
one drop alone, but sop after sop. and
with each one. massage. whose strokes
run away from each side of the line y
nightly half hour consumed with this rite
will show increasing benefit, and when
the sacrifice to Hebe Is over press the line
again apart and apply a thin piece OF
court plaster something over the size OF
tho bIemish. Ordinary plaster Is quite
as good as the sort sold especially for the
purpose, and the fastidious may choose
a pale flesh or cream tint which will not
be too unsightIy.

built in a day. Vigilance. as I say, is
the price OF an unwrinkled skin, and GER
taInly something Is gained If the line ID

A wash with barley water may Be
highly recommended, for It Is to this
humble bath that many q dead beauty

A guest should make every effort to
arrive promptly when invitations indi-

which they greet their hostess and hnd
their seats.
Silence must be maintained during the
different numbers, and after a perform

be given the performers.
Those arriving late should wait until
the conclusion of q number or act before
finding a seat.
Before leaving one should fnd the

I asked him to wait for me two years. He said he was getting too old. Had I better be an old mans darling or young mans slave3
 If you know your own heart. that you both love. each others and can gain your parents consent. perhaps you could do worse instead of bet ter You should remember that you are young and should try to persuade him to wait g. while longer Marriage is a sacred state to enter into, and should be considered long and ear- nest1y, Good looks seldom count Haib- it's make or mar lives They should be improved.
