Show Upward Strokes of Beauty. When my little girl was born the old colored nurse I got for her told me that if I brushed her hair the wrong way it would make it curly, writes a correspondent of the Pittsburgh Pitts-burgh Dispatch. Whether that was what did it or not I do not know, but her hair, while it never really curled, has always stood away from her head in a soft, pretty way. Mammy's instructions in-structions set me to thinking. I realized real-ized that all faces fall as they grew old, and I wondered why it wouldn't be wise to wash and dry the face up instead of down. I not only taught my little daughter to do this she always al-ways wipes upward but I began oil myself. Today, at fortyeven, not a muscle in my face has fallen; there are no droopy lines in it, and no sagging sag-ging shows at my chin. My eyelashes are always noticed because they curl upward so prettily (they didn't before I began the upward treatment), and my daughter's are just like them. |
