SCOWLING IS ONLY A HABIT.

A Clever Contrivance to Keep Creases Oat of the Forehead. A great many earnest thinkers of a nervous temperament fall Into the habit of scowling when they read, write or talk seriously. This causes two little perpendicular lines to plow 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 litle frown that is the alder and abettor of age. A bright, studious young woman, still in her twenties, found herself the victim of this soowl, which had made two fine hair lines in her white brow, says the New York Journal. She set herself to work to cure the habit by setting her mirror before her face when she read, wrote or studied. But as this distracted her attention from her work she finally placed a ribbon band tightly across her brow, tying- it in a knot at the back of her head, and at night she slept in the band. After several months the little hair lines disapearod from the pretty forehead, and she is quite cured of the disfiguring habit A smooth, white, uncorrugated brow is one of the greatest attractions in & woman's face, while a prematurely furrowed and wrinkled brow mars thebeauty and youth of the fairest features.
