BEAUTY IN SILK.

DEPRIVING THE FOREHEAD OF WRINKLES. With the present fashion of the coiffure more attention is being paid to - the forehead than before, for it is well exposed to view. Too often lines and wrinkles are visible between or just above the eyebrows, thus spoiling the beauty of even the whitest bvow. A little notion used by the Eastern women for getting rid of wrinkles may be called into requisition. In addition to the daily massage of the wrinkles by the lingers dipped in ahnond oil and applied in an upward movement, the following habit is also practised. A piece of white taffetas is carried and is used constantly to wipe out the wrinkles both on the forehead and face. Taffetas is said to be very for this purpose, but it must be quite new, so that the pristine suggestion of stiffness is there. AVhen washed the silk loses its effect. . ,

A good lotion for whitening the forehead is composed of, rain water mixed with rose water, oxygenated water, laurel water, and a little glycerine should it suit the skin. The mixture of orange flower water with a few drops of simple tincture of benzine is also very beneficial and can be applied twice a day. All nervous tricks of .wrinkling and contracting the forehead must be stopped if the beauty of a.flawless brow be aimed at. Strappings of court plaster aire used at night by some devotees of beauty to take away lines and wrinkles, and are applied transversely across the forehead.
