"I thought they were to make it plump."

"So they are--and thin, too, in the right places. They'd cure her
double chin."

"Anyway, she hasn't any dewlap yet. When it comes it will be an
awful one. I can't imagine her in that exercise you tried on me."

"Are you going to do it every day?"

"I would if I had any faith in it." Miss Sterling sighed--with a
wrinkled forehead.

"Oh, you mustn't pucker in wrinkles if I'm going to rub them out!"
Polly smoothed the offending lines. "Now I'll run over home and
get yon that book Aunt Susie gave to mother. It tells all about
everything, and it will make you have faith. It did mother."

"She doesn't need it."

"No; but Aunt Susie said she'd better begin pretty soon, for it was
easier to cure wrinkles before they came."

"Yes, I guess it is," Miss Sterling laughed, "and dewlaps too!"
