1t is true that massage is a developer
But if it is practiced in swift, hard
strokes it will reduce A vigorous
massage underneath the chin will re-
| move the layers of fat. But with the
massage there must be exercise of an
other kind, and this is the kind of exer-
else which is to be found in the turn
ing and twisting of the neck and the
bending backwards and forwards of
the head.

before this kind Of treatment, and the
one who is reducing her chin can be as

needs vigorous treatment.
Fruit is highly recommended at this
| time of year for the complexion. But
! there are those who break out and
! pimple with it. There are people who
have a rash after eating strawberries;
others suffer from that childish trou-
BILE, hives on taking the juice of the
raw grape. Pears will give many peo-
pie decided roughness, and the sum-
mer fruits, berries, etc, have been
known to develop pronounced cases of
widespreading blotches on the face
There is something peculiar about
the acid of raw fruits that is not fully
understood by physicians. One person
cannot take the pulp of the pineapple
without making the mouth and throat
sore; another cannot eat raspberries
without suffering from a burning in
the stomach.
Where there is a constitutional diff
Guilty of this kind avoid that kind of
fruit. Shell fish will give one person
a bad complexion, another cannot eat
celery. Study your diet, and when you
find that which is poison to you, let it
alone. You cannot tell what condition
of blood may induce the trouble. and it
is better not to tamper with an idiosyn-
Grassy.

is claimed that the wonderful COM
pleXion of Lady Brooke, at the time of
her belledom, was due to stewed rhu-
barb, which her ladyship ate constant
ly. Now, as the Countess of Warwick,
she lectures on fruit foods
The process of cooking makes fruit |
more digestible, and apple sauce
stewed berries and cooked foods gen. |
orally seem to agree better with the |
complexion of the civilized woman than
the raw material. There is little logic |
in it, but it seems to be so.
To get a pink and white skin there |
is no remedy any quicker than the |
juice one. But here, again, |
there is need for an ounce of common
sense. One woman can rub the ripe
berry on her face after she has bathed
it in warm water. Then she can wash
it off again and the result is a pretty /
glow. The acid has removed the stains
from the face. Another woman, hav-
ing skin like alabaster, will be too
pink from the berry. Work slowly and
watch. The strawberry is an excellent
cosmetic, taken inside or out.
