Are Our Women
Becoming More Wrinkled?

American women have more inter-

lions. They add to the common
duties of personal care and household
responsibilities political. business,
philanthropic, educational interests,
which are of little moment to their
sisters of other lands. The widening
of women's field of activity has made
her more strenuous-more subject to
wrinkles. 1t means that she must
give a little more time to her per-
sonal charms, to assist them to over
come the results of their more intri-
cate eistence. We find many today
