Sait didn pcan alienated * What LILLIAN RUSSELL Has Said About: Keeping Young Second in a Series of Eight Daily Articles Based Upon Interviews With Miss Russell and Her Own Writings—The Others Will Ex- press Her Ideas on: OF NEW YORK”. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. ILLIAN RUSSELL was noted equally for her radiant blonde beauty and for her marvellous preservation of it. “Mrs. Ponce de Leon,” she was sometimes called. When at fifty-one she lectured all over merica on youth conservation, she herself was enough to conyince a scep- al audience that “it can be done.” What follows are Lillian Russell's NM principles and practices for “KEEPING YOUNG.” ‘If I am to believe what people must remember that it is not only for ve been kind enough to say of me, her face and its lines that she must look out; and it is not only to her pore Sueevesen Sh Bias Ue TONE? ety gid her weight that ate onnat po of youth—not eternal youth, to pay attention, It is her general very, very sure, but at least the health, because youth means health, tain that has kept me fresh- and, generally speaking, the woman Ped, full of health and vitality, clear K¢ePS one who keeps the other. and smiling at an age when of my sisters of America are “There is nothing so helpful as fre- quent bathing, I hold, to conserve le and tired and wan and actually youth and beauty, I take at least five shower baths a day.

As one husband said: “She's always after the children, but she has got them so that they don’t call their souls thelr own; they're afraid to bring their playmates Into the house largely because they know that their mother will scold them for leaving toys about or messing up things—I don't know what's got into her.” This restlessness in the presence of disorder is a typical symptom of the ‘scourer'’ housewife. She cannot endure the disordered momenis of bedtime, of washday, of the children’s play room, but wants everything to be spotless all the time, The result is that she ts quite frequently the chief cause of her own serious case of neurasthenia or “nerves.""
