DIGNITY OF CARRIAGE.

A good thing in woman is shapely
neck. Some have one naturally, the
majority acquire it with patience,
good bringing up, and careful, we'll
trained carriage. There Is always the
fear that starting with this great adj
vantage, as far as good appearance
is concerned, that we may not be able
to maintain 1t, unless we devote the
care and attention that 1t demands.
There is no doubt that healthy flesh,
III the stress of the active energetic
life women lead now, demands the
use of cream, or skin food, as a
necessity; and then, many skins, too,
need an astringent lotion and careful
massage.
To assure themselves that the neck
and bust be well developed, women
have 10 learn to sit and stand prop
erly, so that the spine Is erect, the
shoulders well thrown back, the lungs
well filed. A few most elementary
exercises In the morning will secure
this, always provided they are be-
the hands over the head so that the
arms are well thrown back above 1t,
and 50 TO the side, then up again, and
down at the back Dignity OF car
riage Is so essential that no pains
should be spared to secure 1t. Not
only is an erect carriage great per-
sonal improvement, but It is health
living, for In throwing back The
shoulders we insure full play TO the
lungs
We are apt to ignore one import
ant element In a good carriage and a
stately bearing, viz, nerves. The
nervous system should always be
under control and well cared for an !
looked after. We ignore it too often
till there is a break down, and then
1t is too late. Once established a
nervousness that gets control of you,
hair, complexion, skin, all begin TO
fail. II effects some people one way.

good condition, especially exercises
for respiration. We do very wrong
to neglect these exercises of the res
piration organs. II we wish to keep
the neck and bust and throat beauti
full, ten minutes in morning is not
much TO give up In order to insure
so much Moreover these exercises
would drive out many chest and throat
diseases, and prevent that frequent
catching Of colds which is so detri-
mental to good looks, and so often
takes women away from active pur-
suits of life for while, making 1t
unwise to face night air and cold
winds for many months In the year.
When the neck is thin and you see
deep hollows under the collarbones
have recourse to massage. Age shows
itself earliest here, when lines come
beneath the chin, and the muscles
there become flab3y and the skin
loose. Before that period arrives
every effort should be made by means
of exercise to keep the enemy of,
important exercises which some OF
the most experienced of our beauty
specialists find most effective. The
result will be that the skin becomes
firm and smooth, and the neck will
resume its symmetry. Before begin
ming the exercise apply some good
skin food. Use both hands closed,
employing the knuckles. and well
knead beneath the chin with the
knuckles; then with botA thumb
under the chin. with the palms and
with the tips of the fingers rub the
neck and throat with rounded
movement. The palms should press
the flesh beneath the chin towards
the ears. Finally remove any super.
fluous grease.
English women are noted for the
beauty of their neclSs. At any great
court functions where splendid dia,
monds are worn this great adjunct OF
beauty Is apparent. But such charm.
ing results have not been brough,
about without an effort. Many
young women, despatched from some
OF the cleverest of our beauty cul
turists, have been employed for hours
in preparing the face but more spe
cially the neck which they often polisf

skilful manipulation. Chin strap.

dresses were more worn than they are
