Show "Women, Don't Worry. Bad temper and worry. will trace more wrinkles in one "night than hot and cold bathing, and massage and I complexion brushes, and creams and lotions lo-tions can wash out in a year's faithful application. Physicians assert that an immense amount of nerve force is expended ex-pended in every fit of bad temper; that when one little part of the nervous system sys-tem gets wrong the face first records' it. The eyes begin to lose the lustre of youth, muscles become flabby, the skin refuses to contract accordingly, and the inevitable result is wrinkles, femininity's feminin-ity's fierce and insidious foe.. There is no use attempting to reason with a woman about the evil effects of ill temper tem-per while she is in an ugly mood. She knows perfectly well that it is bad form; that it savors of the coarse and i underrbed; that it is weak and belittling, belit-tling, and immoral, and that it 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 iace 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 and by tracing crow tracks about her byes and tell-tale lines around her mouth, she will probably think twice before again forgetting herself. For, no matter what she asserts to the contrary, con-trary, woman prizes youth and beauty above every other gift the gods hold it in their power to bestow upon mortals. |
