GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY.

LET US DO IT. Can anything bo more tragic than an old woman with animitation young" face ? ]f from youth upward women were only taught that outward appearances were tho direct results of inward consideration, tho need of extravagant " inako up " would soon cease to exist. A good complexion can be retained long after middle age, providing an intelligent interest is continually bestowed upon it. Regular, sensiblo, appetising food, that is according to tasto as well as to wisdom; plenty of outdoor exercise; a daily cleansing of the system, helped by drinking cold water and lemon juice and eating fruit, means tho battle is more than half won. And then —because moderate external aid goes hand in hand with sane beauty culture—tho old-fashioned nightly soap and water ablution, completed with a slight smearing of good, plain, cold cream. With tho aid of a good powder and a touch ot vanishing cream during tho day, tho results would bo inoro successful than tho expensive efforts at rejuvenation of modern times.
