The chin that IL mink and smooth ahcw-
inE no facial blenishes Of any kind, II ons
Of woman's chief charms, quite a. I'm
portant az her eyes. and almost as i'm
pertant az her teeth.
To obtain such q chin requires great
deal Of study. along physical-culture lines,
and 1t requires q constant attention 70
the laws Of health and hygiene.
You cannot have q clear. pretty ohtn
II the system is not properly fed with air
and water as well as with good food.
The neck and throat are very important
IN the scheme OF beauty. for II is impos-
sibie to take course in the physical cul-
ture of the chin without also improving
the throat.
The throat and neck should be round
and broad. like column.
The neck should be rather large. though
It should not look too heavy for the head.
The fat, thin neck Is not pretty. but
the neck that Is round and columnesoue
Is the one that il regarded as nearer the
ideals OF beauty.
To get such neck begin by following
few rules OF physical culture.
TO HAVE A GOOD NECK
Throw the head back and keep It back
Do not strain the cords. but practice
standing with the head up and the chin
tilted.
For ffteen minutes daily take head
swinging exercises, letting the head lie az
far back as possible. then slowly lift
Ing II.
Do not sit and read with ths eyes
aslant. for this. II Is said. besides injuring
the eyes. will also make the neck very
stiff. thus preventing any further physical
culture movements.
Do not wear tight. air-proof collar
tia IL, 1oN
stocks and all things that will give air
and freedom to the neck and throat.
Try not to let the throat get into
creases, for IL takes time and patience,
massage and exercise to get them out
Part OF the day. IL possible. let the
throat be free. and during this time let
the air play upon 1t. even IL only for
few hours in the evening.
Cultivate the habit Of holding the head
not only erect. but straight, not tilted to-
ward either shoulder
And strive daily and all the time TO let
the throat support the head.
When the neck Is tired. instead OF let
ting 1t sag upon the chest, place the head
back upon pillow and rest it in an easy
manner.
There are lotions that come for strength
ening the neck. and one of the best OF
these Is witch hazel, made sweet. IL you
please. with a drop of rose
Another very good massage for strength
ening the cords of the neck and throat is
made by mixing a pint Of the spirits OF
cologne with a grain Of musk and ten
drops OF oil OF rose gerauium.
Let stand for two weeks, and. as the
bottle gets low, add spirits OF cologne, for
one grain Of musk Will scent the bottle
for a long time.
This Is very Strengthening.
Hot water IS said to be good for the
muscles OF the neck, as is also ice water.
But, unfortunately. either extreme is apt
to affect the nerves of the eyes snd the
head making the head ache IL the nerves
are very sensitive.
1t is better. therefore. TO use tepid wa
ter and to bathe the throat with alcohol
or cologne spirits.
The practice of holding up the head
grows upon one.
At first It seems BIT difficult, and the
neck will ache and the position become
strained, but soon 1t gets to be second ma
ture, 90 much SO that 1t is difficult TO walk
with the chin cast down.
Hold up the chin when taking your daily
exercise, and the result will be beneficial,
not only 10 the looks. but TO the health.
