retain their health and youthful ap-
pearance the cause must lie in the kind
of work they do.
I think the ST. ret is in the fact that

Acting is a kind OF work that allows
no concessions to ones private aches,
pains or troubles. The actor is there to
please his audience and he is on fds met

Is playing. II may be one with which
he is not in sympathy. but 1t gets him
out of himself and the elasticity of mind
and body called on by this operation is
an excellent corrective to old age.
With women the effect Of playing
youthful roles is even more stimulating.
A certain lethargy of mind and body
seems a common accompanimeu of mid

from this fact You will notice that wo-

children keep much younger than do those
who live only with their contemporaries.
Boys are particularly proud OF youthful

have given to the capture of an admirer
of her youth.

brow brush is an important adjunct to
any dressing table. The eyebrows need
brushing just as much as the hair does
and for this purpose comes brush much
like babys tooth brush. In fact, n

I have known frowntng lines to be-

consists OF makingia little slit at the hair
