She 77 Whol Heglects Fe T IS not necessary to be young in order to look young these days. The rule is that a woman should not grow cny older in looks for twenty years after she has reached tho fge of 30. The years, as measured by a woman's Jooks, are thege: At 20 she is supposed to tose her childish appearance. Then she comes to a standstill and looks the same until she is 30. Between 30 and 60 beauty specialists are agreed that there should be no "hange. After @ a woman may allow herself a little Indulgence in the matter of grow- 'ng old; but if she be up to tho ideas-.of the moment, she will not change very pauch up to the day that she goes to her [srave. Leerning how to grow old gracefully fis one of the tasks and duties of the fwoman of today. | Sho not only studles it, but pays ex- penstve prices to learn the art. She knows that once the art is hers she will never regret the money she has pelid in learning it. . Bho knows that a great deal of her good looks will depend on the small things. ' Qhat the polse of the head counts for a. jot. The lifting of the chin correctly. The plumpness of the cheeks. The habit of keeping the eyes open, and keeping the hands and feet young. The woman whose hands are old will find that they can be made to look much 'younger by the process of plumping them, That by soaking them first in hot wa- ter, then by massaging with skin food, and then by finally incasing them in soft, warm gloves, or by sleeping in gloves lined with a glove paste, she can work wonders with her hands. Well-kept, trim-looking shoes are an- other important item to a woman's youthful appearance. The woman who cares for her looks in middle Mfe should be very particular in regard to the shoes she wears, and she will-find that she can get just as much comfort out of a good-looking, well- fitted pair of shoes as she can out of a pair of run-down, loose slippers, that will allow her feet to spread and ruin their shape. One of the most telling signs of mid- Cle age is the dress which becomes rather slack. The woman who wants to look young must be most fastidious about her dress. The hair is another point to consider. TIMI E The woman whose hair jooks old and unattractive must go to work at it at once and work steadily at it for weeks before she can hope to restore it to its natural color and prettiness. She must study how to dress her hair. She must givé particular attention to the hair line, which is the line surround- ing the face. A straggly hair line will make any face look old. Thin hair is never pretty. In these days the ready-to-wear hair is such an established habit and made so pretty and comfortable that no wom- an need have the appearance of thin hair. Sallow skin is also another enemy to good looks that must be fought. TH@ remedy les in outdoor life, and in food that can easily be digested--plenty of green things, fruit and lean meats and fish. There is also the shape of the chin to consider. The woman who lets her chin get the determined lines of ill temper will surely look old. The woman who ducks her chin down AIT LOOSE/Y. A Low? ecen WY Lizrk Cofors close to her neck will look the same way. The only woman who looks well with her chin down is the very thin, the very pathetic type of woman of the Evange- line type. Such a woman must be delicately thin, very spirituelle in countenance, She must have great, big, childish-like eyes and a soft, pretty cheek line. Even so she must be careful. With the chin lowered, a woman takes on a reproachful cast of countenance. And there are few women who can look reproachfu] and do it prettily. The average woman who is fighting old Father Time with all her might and main should tilt back her chin, carry her head as high as possible and trust to chance and nature to do the rest. Letting down the chin lowers it down to the neck and throat and brings wrinkles under the jaw. Not one woman in a thousand can lower her chin after she is 30 and look young or pretty doing it. All other women lose very much in the beauty game when they try it. . Mrs. Symes' Aids to Correspondents Reducing Flesh ¥. @. M.--There is only one way to' reduce flesh: to limit one's diet to such foods as do not produce fats and to work off adipose tissue by means of continued exercise. In your case, for breakfast you should ' have only a cup of clear hlack coffee end two slices of salted but unbut- tered toast. \ For luncheon you can get along nice=_ ly with some raw tomatoes, cold meats, fruit and non-fattening foods of the sort. For dinner a slice of roast beef, no liquids and some green vegetable like stringbeans, asparagus and others of elmilar character. i Vegetables that grow under the fround, like potatoes, turnips and beets, are all flesh producing. Sleep not more than seven hours each night. NMvery day, if possible, take long walks, swing Indian clubs or make some such effoif to rid yourself of ex- tra weight. Any fleshy woman who has the will to continue this treatment will lose from two to five pounds a week. j Addresses Asked For M. M. T.--It ig itapossible to print names and addresses here.

Hair on Face HATTIE B.--Any sort of soap or face eream which is permitted to clog the pores will ofttimes induce hair to grow.

These muscles are apt to sag from over-fatigue or from weakness or suf- fering, especially mental worries.

How to Acquire Pretty and Silky Eyebrows -- E eyebrows should be brushed -- morning and night, and through | the day when one happens to -- think of them. Have a soft brush, and use it for five minutes at a time in brushing the brows. Always stroke in the Nne that the brows should grow. Some tonics undoubtedly are aids, and the simplest of all is vaseline. Red is the best, and this should first be put on the finger tips and rubbed well into the brows before brushing be- gins. This may be done in the morning quite as well as at night, for the grease should be so absorbed as not to show. Whatever color the hair may be, the brows are usually more effective if a few shades darker. Any tonic containing grease is a dark- ener, from the fact of the presence of the oils, and with a tonic of this sort a dyo is not necessary. To be sur¥, a dye works faster, but in the end not so well; and it is much better net to use a dye, at least until after a tonic has been applied daily for some months. A decided stimulant for the eyebrows 4s made of two and one-half grains of sulphate of quinine and half an ounce of sweet almond oll. Mix and rub in theroughly before brushing. In cases where the eyebrows grow thin from illness, something a little dif- ferent should be used. ' Good for this condition is a mixture of five grains of tincture of rosemary, one gram of tincture of eantharides, -- fifty grams of the spirits of camphor and fifty grams of cologne. Mix, and apply morning and night reg- ularly for at least six weeks, The luster and preitiness of the brows may be very much increased in the evening by with airaond oll, A fine Cumel's-hair brush should be dipped in the liqiiidpaand all that can should be wiped from the tip, _Then rub the brush over tne brows gently evenly. Should the oil be visible in any place, wipe it off with the finger tips. x curves back Character in the Fore- head FOREHEAD that A reveals a poetic a fondness for the arts and a talent for elther music or painting. A straight forehead, one that rises from the eyelrows in a perpendic- ular line, is a sign of severity, in- flexibility and tenacity. A high forehead, .o be very good, should be well developed about the eyebrows, If there is quite a perceptible bulge of the eyebrows, combined with a high forehead, the sign is of a calm, cool, deliberate thinker. If with these eyebrows is combined a forehead that slopes gradually back @& sensitive, poetto temperament is disclosed; if, again, they are com- bined with a short, narrow forehead, the subject will be syccessful in Wusi- ness and in everything connected with worldly matters, but ho will be incapable of appreciating to any ex- tent or of creating anything connect- ed with the arts. Breadth of forehead is always fa- vorable; it is distinctly connected with breadth of oharacter, Of course, a broad forehead may be part of a weak face, which will nate urally define the Iimits of character much closer than even a combination of a narrow forchead with an other- wise strong face.

The man who knows exactly what to do in cases of strenuous emergency is of inestimable value to the community at large, A few hints, therefore, with' re- gard to simple expedients which may be resorted to in case of fire should prove of interest to our readers. In the first place--keep out air. With- oul air fire cannot burn, and 'hus the danger will be at least retarded if the doors "and windows of all rooms are speedily closed and the fire-engine im- mediately sent. for, "Should the clothes catch fire, throw ycurself upon the floor and roll over and over on the flames, dragging the hearth- rug or some thick materia] with you if pessible. - Smoke is one of the most formidable doengers, and when houses are on. fire aS many deaths are caused by suffocation as burning, When attempting to cross a room filled with smoke, creep on the hands and' knees, keeping your head as close to the ground as possible. This is effective because Smoke rises, and fhe most breathable air is therefore near the floor, A fairly efficient respirator can be quicley devised by drenching a handker- chief with waler and covering the mouth and nose with it. But prevention is better than cure, and a small hand-pump or chemical -extin- guisher will offen be sufficient to stop a fire when itsis in its early stages, |: ne Why is it that the average man would rather lose than see some other fellow win? i f DIED OF STARVATION, Wandsworth, England, Man Four Years Out of Work, Alfred Martyn, aged sixty-five, on whom an inquest was held at Wands- worth, England, a few days ago, was found to have died from starvation. The widow sdid her husband had been out of work for four years, and had been very ill. She supported him as best she could, for he was too proud to go to the workhouse, : He was brought home by a policeman, who discovered--him lying on Wands- worth Common, and said he had been walking about all night. Some days afterwards he was, taken to the Infirm- aty. where he died, "We have been living on a little bit of bread and tea," the poor woman de- clared. . "T went out to work. but I could only. earn 2d..or. 3d, I sold everything I had to. keep him. "Just before he wags removed to the Infirmary 1 put him on the floor and sold the bedstead as old: iron for 54d. to. get him a eup of-tea and a bit of bread. He could eat a bit of bread as big as your hand." A nurse who removed the old man to the infirmary said he was lying on the floor in rags, and was unable to walk. The only' furniture in the housé was a table and a box. ~f~--__ NEXT TO KIN, "In the matter of that property settle- ment, Mrs. Jones treated you meanly. didn't-she ?" "T should say so!
