HOW TO MAKE WOMEN LOOK YOUNGER.

A piquant saleswoman whose ibig brother —he is. in the 1 business referred to—^sen: her" over to Paris to. .study^tfie. .styles' and ' take in the Eiffel tower and all that, chatted thus as she sol'd'a bonnet to a. woman about whosfe eyes there'femaihed s"ome of the ashes of the roses of several years ago. •' Let me put lies on this bonnet. Everything in Paris runs \ to' tie's. Ties are al! the rage. Believe me, dear madam, even -matrimonial ties are going to have more of a run this season than heretofore." , Of the woman in whose face there * were some' recollections bought the bonnet And when, she had got clear^'out ' pi sight, safe beyond return, the'" beautiful little bundle^ of.conceit whor.had played the role of spider in" the "old, old . farce-tragedy of " The -Spider ;r and the Fly" said almost pathetically.: - r N -• * • miwl- ,." Poor little woman ! ; ,She ' didn't know why I insisted upon putting ties on her bonnet. And yet it was for her own benefit. Besides, it's business. I am not such a. wretch after all: Why did I do it ? Because ties on the bonnet orthe hat of any woman, who has passed the mark of thirty years do much to t make, that woman look .younger., you .know, maybe,. .that age begins to show .itself first of aIL on a : woman's' throat. "I heard that", in Paris, and the woman who said it — oh, how well she knows"! 2 A tie, even if it be as tiny as' that which a'mother. strings about the neck ' of her babe,' will "conceal fromcritical eyes thesa first paths furrowed by time. It is a ' trick of the trade'.'ybu say. Maybe. There are .tricks in. all trades. Beauty is a trade ; the trick " is to preserve it. If I 'do something which will hide the first imprint pf Itime,' on a. woman! she is mine. I know my business.*.' £ ; v ■
