Only Correction of Habit Will Pre-
' , vent Them.
Did yon ever notice how few people
there are with smooth foreheads? About
nine out of tea have very distinct hori
zontal lines across the forehead and. not
only .middle-aged and elderly people, by
any means. I have seen girls of twelve
with these disfiguring lines plainly mark'
d.
Now, these lines are caused by the al
most universal habit of raising- the eye
brows and wrinkling up the forehead
when one is surprised, puzzledi or wor
ried, and these isn't a bit of use fit
trying to get rid of them 'by rubbing
cold cream or skin food Into them, so
.long as you cling to the habit that
'causes them.
Then there Is the deep wrinkle between
the eyes, knows as tne -irownmg une.
You know how you got that line all
right, don't youT Well, if anything It's
more disfiguring than the horizontal line
because it gives, the face a sour, un
pleasant expression that Is absolutely
fatal to beauty.
Another bad facial habit is allowing
the corners of the mouth to droop. The
result Is a look of fretfulness. self-pity,
weakness, and Irritability, that would
spolt the appearance of a Venus. If
persisted In long enough this habit will
cause deep unsightly telltale wrinkles
at the' comers of the mouth.
Some one has said that It absolutely
Impossible to feel depressed or low-spirited
so long as you keep the corners of
the mojith curved upward. And, do you
know, there's a great deal of truth in
it? Try It next time you get the blues.
"But." yott protest. "I have these
habits, and at this day It Is too late
to get rid of them.
Well, that's just where you and .1
dlfferj-ou can get rid of them. In the
first place, of course, you must banish
-the bad mental habits that He back of
.them. A wrlnklled forhead shows
.wrinkled mentality, and a drooping
mouth Is the evidence of drooplng-splrlts.
Cultivate a sane, healthy calm, courage
oue way of looking at, life. Don't stew
and fret and worry over small perplex
ities and problems and troubles. Don't
ever, ever, ever, allow yourself to pity
yourself.
Then when you find yourself mechani
cally dropping back into the old bad
mannerisms. Just simply stop It Keep
It in mind, pay attention to it. If .you
find your forehead twisted into knots.
your brows drawn together In a for
bidding scowl, or your mouth drooping
to touch the point of your chin, drop
everything else, and straighten your
face out Brin your eyebrows back
where they belong raise the corners of

The Outing Coat
The Introduction of so many varieties
of striped and plaid coats and those of
bright red does not at all mean that the
white coats, which have been So, well
thought of for several years for outing
purposes, are to be abandoned.
,, .There are many white coats among
the very newest importations, and. those
In the very heavy materials are always
most attractive.
Support of Trimming.
More than ever before is wire needed
in millinery. Any creations of voile and
flowers and feathers stand high in the
felr. and are upraised apparently by their
ewn force However, the flower egrets
nnd the long and ostrich plumes that
rear their altitude above a hat are all
supported by almost Invisible wire.
Cure for Biting Kails.
Chewing gum may be used as a means
bf effecting a cure for unfortunate vic
tims of the nail-biting habit Those In
the habit of biting their nails should
provide themselves with a supply
chewing gum. and whenever they are
taken with the irresistible desire td bite
the sails they should chew a piece of
gum.
Same as last Year.
Little or no change Is seen In the man
nish shirts of unshrinkable flannel.

Whether this type of gown Is due to
the Japanese Influence or not, it has
unmistakably the lines of the kimono.
The material Is white serge with an
indistinct black stripe. The waist and
skirt are seamed together under a belt
of bright Oriental embroidery, done in
beavy wool upon coarse gray linen.
The closing is under the black satin
tend. This band Is shaped on the skirt
following the outline of the figure at
the side.
