The real wrinkle has in 1t nothing of good fellowship It is a signal flag set for foul weather,-all the time, or pretty nearly so.
 When the sea lies smiling in the summer sun and it's little Wavelets, bitter batter on the sandy beach. making here a tiny ridge of sand, or scooping there an equally tiny finger mark, the summer boarder smiles back and has. a hugely good time. But when raging. storms tear the surface of the roaring ocean into ragged con- fusions of swirling water and hurl drift -burdened waves furiously against the shore, tearing it into gullies and untidy wrinkies,-then the summer boarder isn't there to see.
 If she. were, she would know for ever afterwards what is the difference between natural dimple in the sand and q natural wrinkle in the face of the bluffs. She would also know the difference between the causes of the two phenomena And she might, by putting two and two together judi ciously, discover an analogy betweer one set of seashore happenings. and another set of mental conditions.
 For the dinple is caused by sniIinq while the wrinkle is caused by -scowi- ing, then by worry over the inevitable or by persistent fault-finding with the universe; or by a diuturnal dissatis- faction with everything that is; or by l the habit of nagging (which is not al. ways confined to wives, but has beer l noticed by scientific observers in some ! husbands and a good many growing. up girls and boysl.
 1 The dimple may or may not be re | garded as a facial attraction. but i will never be classed as 6 deformity The wrinkle, on the other hand. is no popular. Witness the advertisement;
 of face lotions and face-masks ant ! other devices manufactured and solt as wrinkle eradicators.
 1 Yet the truth is that both tn, dimple and the wrinkle are sinpl, 1 symptoms. Each one is the visibl
 token of the mind. Did you ever se a dimple on a sour visage? Or al
 ugly wrinkle on the face of a happ,
 youngster
 It isn't every one who is blesse,
 wifh a tendency toward dimpling | But when one is. the gradual trans
 formation of the dimple into wrinkle I under the influence of worry or. nag ging or ill-temper is a sorry change What on earth has all this talkee talkee about dimples and wrinkles 20
 to do with farmers and farming
 fancy 1 hear you asking that question We'll, while 1 do not assert that
 dimple-cheeked farmer must, neces
 sarliy, be better farmer and
 pleasanter neighbor and nanlie
 man than one who hasn't a dimple,
 do say, unhesitatingly, that the stat
 of mind and the habit of thought an
 action which produce wrinkles is state of mind inconsistent with tn
 best farming or the incest neighborli
 ness or the truest manhood.
 For it means that the wrinkier isn
 working in harmony with his surround } ings, but at cross purposes with then He isn't sweeping up stream on tn breast Of flooding tide, but is tryin to pole his raft ross-Iots where in swamp isn't calculated for navigation There are whole lot of thinqs i nature which you and I don't under stand about.
