work in the same way, changing the po-
sition of the thumbs often as necessary
and continuing all the way around the
neck. You should not wash Off the cream
until next morning, when the neck should
share with the rest of the body IN cold
splash. Take up the cold water by the
handful ard throw it over the throat and
chest. If the skin does not entirely absorb
the cream through massage, wipe off what
is left with a soft cloth that you will
not be in disagreeable greasy condition.
Troublesome Things.
Women who have a tendency to black
heads and pimpIes are troubled with them
upon the back, and they usually appear
between the shoulders where an evening
gown reveals them. They should be treat
ed just as they are on the face or throat
Heal the pimples by applying particle OF
the cream to each one, then use hot water,
soap and a brush. You may use the bath
brush here instead of that intended for
the complexion. 1t is harsher, but will do
no harm to the less delicate skin between
the shoulders. If it Is difficult to reach, let
some one help you with the treatment.
If the neck is fiabby, you may use eX-
ercise and massage then. at the end of the
massage, wipe off all the cream and apply
the following paste which makes the 11esh
firm, besides whitening it: Whites of four
eggs, one-half ounce alum, one-half pint
rose water. one-half ounce sweet almond
OIL beaten together. The consistency, as
soon as mixed, will be thin. Now add al
mond meal until the consistency is that of
a paste thick enough to spread upon the
neck. Lay over it piece of soft cloth,
fasten in place and sleep in this way. Wash
off the paste in the morning with tepid
water and soap, then give the neck cold
dash.
If your neck chances to be still dingy
as a result of the summer sunburn and tan,
use the following paste instead: White of
two eggs, one ounce honey. one teaspoonful
lemon juice, six drops bitter almond oil
mixed Add enough fine oatmeal to form
paste. Fasten the cloth as before.
A Simple Method
The simplest way of whitening the neck
and one that is efficacious in common cases
is this: Mix the juice of lemon with
half glass of water, the the neck with
this after the nightly bath and scrub, then
apply the cold cream without wiping off
the lemon juice.
Avoid high tight neck bands in your
night dress. The throat should be free to
rest during the night. If you are using
one of the pastes which requires a cloth,
be sure to wear the cloth as loose as pos
sihle.
When dressing for evening the neck
should be delicately powdered and the pow

ply a little cold cream first wiping off all
that a dry cloth will take. But if you give
your neck nightly care it will probably not
be dry, on account of the hot water and
cold cream application. You may make
your own powder if you like in this way:
Mix one ounce powdered arrowroot one
half ounce powdered oleate of zinc three
drops oil of roses. Sift the whole throush
boiling cloth.
If you are fond of perfume indulge in a
dainty caprice of this season, which is to
wear tiny sachet bags deftly fastened in
side the decollete gown just at the neck
line.
Three ounces powdered gum arabic in
ohe-half pint rose water forms a solution
That may be applied to the curls after they
are released from the curriers'. Do not
use an iron; use any convenient curler
which does not require heat. Blackheads
and enlarged pores should be treated to a
CASTLE soap and hot water scrub at night
with a hair-face brush. This is enough to
cure any ordinary case without a cream
although l always advise the use OF a
good cold cream.
