The Neck aud Throat.

The reason why pretty necks and
threats are much rarer possessions now
adays than they were 80 or so years ago
is that for many years past it has been
the fashion to wear high, stiff collars,
fastened tightly round the throat.
Tight collars cause the neck to become
yellow and the skin to become prema-
turely wrinkled and baggy. A graceful
carriage of the neck is also impossible
when high, close collar is worn We
are at last beginning to recognize these
truths, and this season stiffened collars
will no longer be the mode Often the
first signs of age show themselves in the
throat Daily massage, using good
emollient, il the best method of keep
ing throat wrinkles at bay. This, if
persevered with, will also prevent yell
lowness and scragginess of the neck.
Singing exercises improve the appear
ance of the throat, but. of course, it is
imperative that singers should avoid
tight collars
