pany gowns Last summer we were daft
on this subject of beautiful neck, and
now, with the thermometer liable to dc
any wild thing, we are even more un-
reconciled to being eternally tied to laces
and ribbons punched up under our chins
There is something fixy, fussy, stin,
decorous about all the high cuts. The
woman who displays the tiniest bit OF
soft white skin just under the nape OF
her neck and chin is envied by the poor
thing who dare not show so much as a
square inch of flesh.
Perfection is demanded when the at
tempt is made to wear low neck gown.
The throat must be alabaster white, and
every muscle in prime condition. One
indentation, that tell-tale line that en-
circles so many otherwise fair throats, IS
not permissible The faintest suggestion
of double chin will spoil everything and
at the back OF the neck, right at that
point where wiseacres say they can tell a
woman's age there must be neither a
wicked little hump of fat nor dreadful
hollow, and there must be no saffron-tint-
ed rim such as bands so many throats.
If the throat is beautiful the neck is
apt to be and generally the arms as well.
A lucky creature is she who hasn't one
doubt as to the attractaveness of all three.
She can wear fascinating evening waists
and may with impunity string about her
throat a single strand of pearls or a few
dozen tiny coral beads.
A beautiful neck beautifully dressed
makes woman look younger and fairer
than anything she ever attempts in the
toilet line. She knows it too, and it is
a great grief when she sees no earthly
way of gaining her hearts desire.
There is a way There is always way
for US women to have what we want,
even a beautiful neck. We must pay the
price Patience divine enters into the
bargain. 1t is all arrant nonsense how
ever, to say that we can get along with
patience and a few strokes now and then
and a little flesh food and all the namby-
pamby ways that so many writers insist
will work miracles.
Systematic rubbing under the chin will
scare off a fiabby droop or that hideous
nightmare a wad of flesh, called by cour-
tesy a double chin. What one needs in
order to treat destroyers of a beautiful
throat, wrinkles or superf1uous flesh, is
knowledge We cannot accomplish much
gropfng about in ignorance. Good hearty
strokes must show some return for labor
expended if they are given according TO
the expert physical culturist's ideas.
