You don't feel any older than you did Ave years ago, Your dress size Is the same. You have not noticed yourself in the role of wallfiower at recent parties,
 However, this morning when you looked In the mirror you re- alized with 0 start that something has happened to your face, There is e change there all right And its not for the better
 Whats to be donep
 We'll, first of all, resolve to rinse your face with ice water for at least Ave minutes every day. Or, better yet, to cover face and throat with wet cotton mask and to go over the mask with Q piece of ice until the skin underneath is pink and tingling
 This will help to make the muscles youthfully firm again and. consequently, eliminate those sagging lines from sides of the nose to corners of the mouth,
 Resolve also to massage cream into the skin around your eyes each and every night, Unless the fine lines at the corners are caused by eyestrain. In which case you ought to have glasses right away
 Simply dip foretingers In spe- cial eye cream or your regular night cream. place them on eye lids at inside corners where the wrinkles are,
 But I'm sallow. too you sigh,
 The ice water treatments will help to alleviate that condition And you must take 0 long, brisk walk in the fresh air every day and perhaps do setting-up eXer- cises in the morning. Sallowness often Is the result of poor circu- lation. Exercise will help If it does not better see your family doctor, A sallow condition may require medical rather than beauty advice,
