Facial Massage.

Frowning wrinkles may be -ehmi-
mated. but the habit of frownipg must
first be broken. Granted that you
have formed this bad habit and have
discovered how many years it has
added to your countenance, you will
then be more concerned about the
habit than the lines, for the lines
NAV be smoothed out and the tissues
under them built up again; but If you
continue to form these lines the
building up will do very little to-
ward eradicating them.
So we will begin to correct the
habit first. Like all other habits, it
is an unconscious act, and, If you
have already decided against it, il
will only need reminder each
time you forget. An effective re-
mfnder in such cases Is piece OF
court plaster, which is spread over
the skin after the lines have been
smoothed out. This is relentless
little master, for every time you for
get and begin to pucker UP the brow
it will tug away at the skin in pro-
portion to your own soffense. If you
are in earnest you will be grateful
for the tug and a few days shoulS
cure you.
Having rid yourself OF the cause
for the lines, the next thing is to cor
rect the damage. First apply hot

In this the young Fox was just
right. The longer those little spears
were left there the deeper they
would work in and the harder they
would be to pull out. He didn't know
that then, but common sense told
him that the sooner he got rid OF
them the sooner his leg would feel
better. He took hold of one of the
little spears in his teeth and started
You see. the instant he began to pull

they come out very hard. This is be-

while before he pulled out another.
1t took lot Of courage to pull those

But at last they were all out. That
leg still smarted. 1t was very, very

THAT fellow seemed too slow and
too stupid to be dangerous" thought
the little Fox. But it is clear to me
now that it doesn't do to judge any

I'll first find out all about a stranger

to a stranger. 1t has taken two les

for which the following is the recipe:
First. catch your fish with hook and
iine-salmon. trout or bass, cod, had
dock or bluefish. Then obtain
good-sized kettle and put into it.
first. a layer of sliced potatoes: then
a fine sprinkling of fine-sliced onion;
then layer of fat pork. cut into
small cubes: then a layer of fish,
skinned and sliced. and then a layer
of crackers or thin pilot biscuits.
Sprinkle salt and pepper on eacn
layer according to taste. Repeat the
layers from three to five times. ac-
cording to the size of your kettle.
Fill the pot moderately full with
water and put it on the fire to cook
slowly. If the water gets low, re-
pleuish it. You can tell when the
dish is done by testing the potatoes
or the fish with a fork. AS a rule
it should take about an hour to cook.
Just before the end put in two Or
three oupfuls of milk.
If your taste is slightly vitiated by
contact with the world you may add
double spoonful of some spicy
sauce.
But for my part I like a chowder
