How to Cure Frowning.

A great many earnest thinkers of a nervous temperament fail into the habit of scowling when they read, write, or talk seriously. This causes two little perpendicular lines to plough in between the eyes, and ages a face ten years. It is a habit almost impossible to correct, once formed, as it is done unconsciously by a great many young people. Even in sleep their brows will be drawn together in this malicious little frown, that is the aider and abettor of age. A bright, studious young woman, still in her early twenties, louud herself the victim of this scowl, which had already made two fine hiir lines in her white brow. She set herself to work to cure the hibit by Betting her miiror before her face when she read, wrote, .or studied; but as this distracted her attention from her work the finally placed a ribbon band tightly across her brow, tying it in a knot i t the back of her head, and at night she slept in the band. After several months the little hair lines disappeared from her pretty forehead, and she /s quite cured of the disfiguring habit. A smooth, white, uncorrugated brow is one of the greatest attractions in a woman’s face, while a prematurely furrowed and wrinkled brow mars the beauty and youth of the fairest features.— New York Morning Journal How It Affects the Humorist’s Wife. “Bridget, we’ll have chestnuts, nicely Irowned, for breakfast.” “Shure, mum, an’ Oi tink Oi’d best give yez warnin’. Oi’ve cooked mony the quare dishfer my missuses, but browned chestnuts is wan too mony fer me, mum.' “Oh, did I say chestnuts? I meant griddle cakes. But my husband is the funny man of the Weakly Grin, you know, jnd I heard him wrestling with his annual giddle cake'joke just now.”—Detroit Free Press.
