Tho professor in his latest dis course on beaut offers but little encouragement to women who seek to conceal their ago by the use of cosmetics and dyes long after they should by nature have taken their place in the ranks of Who aged and felt proud of their wrinkled brows ana their white tresses. ' The wrinkle of age is one that all women who have fulfilled their duties of wifehood and motherhood should bo proud." remarks Pro fessor La Tour. "No greater medal ever shone than that given the woman who has grown old In the service of her womanhood. Her gray hnlrs are marks of distinction and each strand that appears above her ven erable head calls forth the venera tion of others. A pot of rouge and gallons of dye would not give her the distinction that the hair turned to white through tho rigors of her existence, bestow upon her." The matronly woman who at tempts to prevent the ravages of timo with cosmetics makes a sad failure. She Is the Mrs. Maloprop of her eex as far as beauty's dic tates are concerned. This deals with two of the three classes of wrinkles to which wom en are subject. Tho third class, that of women who are subject to crinkles because of worry or tho premature development of the fea tures, is the one on which the noted beauty expert takes pity and to them he offers an Invaluable fund of advice. "Some of the most beautiful and lovable women I have met devel oped wrinkles early," the professor remarks In his latest beauty lecture. "In fact it seemed a crime that such women should see their love liness fade and their beauty wans. They arc like the rose that opens in the morning In response to the caress of the lightly falling dow and In the noontime fades and withers under the unkind glances of tho torrid sun. Such women must be aided by experts, others lso the work of & beauty specialist would fall. That a woman of culture fades so quickly and her beauty is short lived is a matter of rgre: to most men. I hae seen thousands of exam- - pies of sucn unfortunate results of tho advances of age. Who of us has not seen the young woman, beautiful, full of Igor, attracting the attention of a scoro of lovers, finally scorned because of the ap pearance of some female' member of her family. MEN MEASURE BEAUTY BY THE WRINKLES. "It seems cruel sometimes that men would accept such standard by which to measure tho physical qual ities of a loved one, but such la ofton the case "Men will gaze on the face of their prospective mother-in-law and find her countenance seared with wrinkles. They then abandon their suit of the daughter, although they should know. foolish crea tures, that a proper care of the face would have prevented tho accumu lation of such wrinkles." That wrinkles are Inevitable, no one can doubt. If we smile much, frown much, cry much, think much, all of these activities will display themselves on tho human face. But there is a way to remove them If they aro captured in their Incipi ency at the time they first ' make their appearance. All anatomists or students of anatomy know that the layer of skins and the fascia below are tightly stretched about the human skull. The facial covering of skin, too. Is tightly stretched with tho exception of the small accumulation of fat that appears in tho cheeks. 1 EDITOR'S WRITINGS HAVE AROUSED HIS ENF.MIFn Mr. Robert J. Collier, although ;SB a young man, is already tho head joKS of an enormous publishing business hBh and the creator of a powerful mag- '.H azlne creator, because when ho JH took charge of the weekly in 1898, WW It was entirely different in charac- H; ter. Mr, Collier began at once tno SHH enterprising news and art features, vgl concentrating at that timo on tho jl Spanish War, and he also lntro- ducod a literary quality which has gradually worked into the paper's EH present Intellectual treatment of public affairs. gH Mis qualities as a Journalist in- elude an cxcoptlonally quick and vivid sense for news, whether ex- fl1 pressed in text or picture, a keen Interest in, and careful knowledge of, tho art of illustration; great Hj courage; and a rare power to un- derstand, uso and inspire men of 1 widely different gifts and natures. Add to these traits much sheer fl business ability, and you have his makeup as a general publisher. j His daring has been mado clear l to the whole world in such strlk- lng instances as the crusades in which Town Topics, Patent Medi- Hj Cine, and various undesirable pub- He officials have been tho oppo ents, and which have resulted In a fine collection of lawsuits, which Mr. Collier accepts with perfect calm. Hlfl ability is shown in oery Bingle department of his complicated business, whether edi torial, art, circulation, advertising or mechanical. The demand for young men of such unusual force and personal drawing quality is constant, of course, from tho out sldo world, and a month seldom passes without Mr. Collier's being urged to tako part In some publlo work qulto disconnected with his business. Most of such requests he feebj compelled to decline, but he has nevertheless done a large part of tho work for the Children's The ater, tho Lincoln Farm memorial, and various other altruistic enter prises, national and local. He was chosen among all the publishers In the United States to present their case when changes were contem plated In the postal regulations, because In addition to his Insight ho has, to an unusual degree, the power of compact and persuasive statement, Without Indiscretion, it may be added that Mr, Collier Is MlkltUk not violently Interested In business for Its own sake. The money-making side of It appeals to him only because It is Inseparable from the useful and sound conditions of business. What reaches powerfully his imagination Is the effect which a great business may have on the opinion of the country and the de velopment of Its inhabitants. In other words, ho views the publi cation of more good books than aro put out by any other firm In the United Statc In exactly tho eamo way alj ho views the activities of his weekly; namely, as a branch of education and public service. It may fairly be said, therefore, that the distinction which he has won so early has a double foundation tho very unusual degree of ability of which ho 1s tho fortunate pos sessor and the interesting purposes for which that ability Is used. A car to carry two members of a rescue crew, who propel it with bi cycle gearing as It runs on tho track of a mine railway, has been Invent ed in Europe, The forehead Is particularly tightly stretched .so that any wrinkling of the brow leaves its mark Laughing eyes, eyes with great expression, always have wrinkles, commonly called "crows' feet," about them. On the contrary persons with ex-pro-slonless eyes, men and women who do not use their eyes In gesticu lating and consequently who havo blank expressions, seldom havo wrinkles. I am of course rather In favor of wrinkles acquiree1 !r. that way and were It not for the fact that theso marks may be obliterated I would rather admire them on some wom en who almost speak with their eyes.

Massage Is the one thing that ef fectually prevents or removes wrinkles. Tho long narrow lines that mark the forehead may easily be cured by n r-ful treatme nt, on that should be used daily as a preven tive as well as a cure. In removing the long furrow TlT5 VTTT across the brow, gentle stretching of the skin of the forehead with a rotary massage with tho fingers proves effectual. Tho massago and the stretching tend to loosen the skin, allowing globules of fat to deposit thore and hillng out tho brow until all signs of depressions are removed. V hile the above Is a slmplo and ready remedy, to persons who have much time to devote to per fecting their countenance, tho use rf hot and cold applications of wa ter is recommended. In such mas sage exercises the use of a moist or lubricating substam e to prevent laceration or irritation of tho skin is necessary. That face creams will aid In re moving the wrinkles through their own qualities or merits. Is, of course. ahsurd. Some creams will soften the skin and render It moro pliable, but to claim that the cosmetic Is a "skin-food" Is to enter the realms of tho ridiculous. M ISSAGE RECOMMENDED FOR CROWS' FEET. Tho massage for crows' feet Is rotary and much resomb.es that used for the cross-lines, although It is more Immediately effective. Tho lines that form about the mouth and those about the nose generally caused by laughing or by facial gesticulating are generally moved by the general Increase of fatty-tissue in that portion of the face. W hlle most women In their younger days appreciate such lines that form only at the time they are laughing and disappear with the re laxation of the facial muscles, they will learn In time that these lines will gradually become natural and will constantly show. It is the same with women who labor to develop dimples. The dim ples arc all rUht at the time, hut eventually they leave their mark with the rent of the wrinkles. All of which Is not Intended to advise against having dimples, smil ing, frowning, etc , when a person feels like doing so. To frown or smile is natural, but It Is also nat ural that we guard against the phys ical results of such actions. Masage Is one of the many things that must be used to guard against such results. As tho athlete rubs his muscles after cngaclng In a con; test so that they may not Suffer constriction, so a woman who ele pends great lv on her facial beauty and expression must frequently m issagc her face so that it may bej always muscularly rcjaxed.
