APRETTY SHOULDER
MOST ANY WOMAN MAY HAVE
THEM IF SHE LIKES.
How to Acquire the Proper Slope ana
Piumpness and How to Dress the
Different Shapes with
Best Effect.

| Inst one woman in ~ ndS pan Va
shoulders the right shape. Ihese sta-
tistics are gathered from certain
beauty specialist. The other IL nave
shoulders that are either 100 hish VI
too low. Many have round shoulders,
Others have hoop shoulders. one OUT
of three will have shoulders thaI eA-
tend too far forward. Fifty per cent
have shoulders of unequal helshI'
TWENTY-FIVE per cent. have shoulders
that would be right if they were car
ried right. And this list OF delecIS
might be carried on indefinitely 50
numerous are the faults OF those VINO
might have and should have goou
pair of shoulders.
If the shoulders are thin there is a
diet which will plump them out ~
tie. To try this diet means very lit'ie
self denial for it consists of food wnlch
nearly everybody likes The basis IS
chocolate, and the chocolate diet WILL
in time, make not only the neck OuC
the arms and shoulders and hanuS
plump.
There is, put away in an obscure put
picturesque part of Germany niue
"cure" which is called the chocolate
cure. Here the patients go TO get
stout. They study the scenery, drink
chocolate and cocoa, eat it and gro"
just fat enough. :,
The beauty of the chocolate cure
is that the fat settles in the rlght
Mace. 1t does not stop at the aDdo
men. But it settles, rather, IN the
arms the hands, the neck and the
shoulders. In very little while the
natients become beautiful.
The cereals will plump out the neck
Int one must not take too much
cream with them. Vegetables also
pIump the neck, but one must be care
foil to take them fresh and without
too much butter There are fats Whlch
seem to settle in the abdomen and
other fats which go toward the shoui-
ders and hands. 1t is curious 10 tne
student of beauty to observe the dlf'
ferent direction which the hesh VIII
take. One kind of food, namely pota-
toes will make the abdomen full An
other kind of food will make the shoul'
ders stout, while third kind VIII
cause the cheeks to grow fat, IL IS
knowledge of these various kinds OF
food which makes a woman pretty or
otherwise. She can really govern her
fat to suit herself if she knows what
to eat.
If the shoulders are of the sloping
or old-fashioned type they should De
dressed very plainly A Quaker hand
kerchief folded around the shoulders
in such a manner as to make them
still lower and still more sloping is the
prettiest thing in the work. Next
comes the Priscilla scarf, which Is
sort of plain muslin fichu; and third
there is the plain round low neck, with
it's neat finish and it's delicate edge
| All of these serve to bring out the Old
fashioned lowness of the old-fashioned
low sloping shoulder.
The shoulder of the matron which is
the plump, round shoulder, is the
shoulder that can be dressed showily,
It can be wrapped with furs and
dressed with velvets. 1t can be en-
circled with real lace and it can be
looped and twined with jewels. This
shoulder is massaged until it is very
plump; beached until it is very white;
pinched until it is full of life, and
spatted until it is smooth,
The girlish shoulder, which is the
slender, delicate shoulder, Is prettiest
dressed in something fluffy. Tulle,
gauze, chiffon and silvered stuffs are
loveliest. And the shoulder should be
dressed very low so as to show its
delicate curves.
II the shoulders, in spite of every
art persist in being uneven and ugly
there are exercises that can be taken
for them. One of these Is the weight
exercise. The victims walks up and
down for Is minutes day carrying
weight in her short arm-the arm
with the high shoulder. In time this
will lower the shoulder. If both shoul
ders are high she bends backward un
til they are equal.
The shoulder exercise, the shoulder
diet, the shoulder massage and the
shoulder treatment will, in time, make
any pair of shoulders handsome. And
in a short while the worst pair OF arms
and neck will become beautiful. 1t
takes about four weeks of constant
| care. But at the end Of that time the
results will be so good that the patient
will not regret the time she spent
upon the work of reforming her shape.
