pressions along the bony lines. 1t must not be thin
enough to throw shadows, but 1t must be delicate In
appearance. Upon the skin, which should be cream
white, there must be soft traceries of blue veinngs
AS to the double chin, there is no longer any such
thing, according to the fashionable plan. The woman
Bantng alone will not reduce the chins There
must DO other methods used, and the main is
exercise.
There is lifting exercise which reduces the chin

abroad by women whose chins too many and far

treatment which enables to continue her chin
reducing specially without suffering from bags of skin
there must be daily massage with some good lotion
The best Of all is lotion Of water and benzoin
but pure alcohol is very good and spirit Of cologne

front this season She is wearing the stragh stiff
dog collar and she Is putting the high stock which
is so tall that it almost hits the ears She is again
winding her neck with ribbon and tying it in a BIG
