BEAUTY'S GREATEST FOE

An 111-Teiuper Is Always Sure to Ruin Its Victim’s Heauty. Bad temper and worry will trace more wrinkles in ondiight than hot and cold bathing and massage and complexion brushes and creams and lotions can wash out in a year’s faithful application. Physicians assert that an immense amount of nerve-force is expended In every fit of had temper; that when one little part of the nervous system gets wrong the face first records it. The eyes begin losing the luster of youth, muscles become flabby, the skin refuses to contract accordingly, and the inevitable result is wrinkles, femininity’s fiercest and most insidious, foe. There is no use attempting to reason with a woman about the evil effects of ill-tem-I>er while she is in an ugly mood. She knows perfectly well that it is bad form; that it savors of the coarse and underbred; that it is weak and belitting and immoral, and that if. hurts her cause to lose her temper. But she does not stop at just that time to think about it, and to remind her of the fact only adds fuel to the flames. But when she is cool and serene and at peace with all the world, if you can convince her that each fit of temper adds a year to her age by weakening her mental force by tracing crowtracks about her eyes and telltale lines around her month, she will probably think twice before again forgetting herself. For no matter what she asserts to the contrary, woman prizes youth and beauty above every other gift the gods hold it in their power to bestow upon mortals.—Woman’s Home Companion.
