tons of some smooth preparation are es-
sental to prevent the fingers from adher-
ing to the skin during the rubbing.
The actual massaging must be done Wig
oroUSly and with such strength that flesh
will be literally rubbed away. If only
slight pressure is used the stroking will
be developing. Without exception all the
rubbing must be done with an upward
stroke. This is because a downward mo-
ton would make the muscles sag and tne
whole face would become dropping in eff
feet.
Very simple are the movements to be
used when only the chin is to be reduced.
For this work the face should be wet
with the lotion or cream; If the latter be
employed. then the tips of the fingers OF
both hands placed touching each
other directly under the middle of the
chin.
With firm pressure an upward stroke is
made until the ears are reached, the fin
gers sliding along until at the completion
of the movement the whole hand is Nat
against the face on each side. This mo-
ton should be repeated for at least ten
times

At least ten minutes, and preferably flf-
teen, should be consumed each night In
taking this treatment anu if one has
time il will hasten the cure to repeat the
operation in the morning. Another help
N the work Is always to soak the face in
hot water before beginning to rub. This
is not imperative, although it is taken for
granted that the skin will be quite clean.
hopping the flesh with hot water will
open the pores and make the flesh softer.
After the massage cold water should be
dashed over the face or the skin should
be wiped with cologne or other toilet
water to act as astringent stronger than
that used with massage.
As there Is no high read to beauty, one
will not get rid of a double chin over
night. Six weeks must elapse before one
sees any change. but it will come grad
ually and surely.

How to Make Neck Plump.
Such work as Pumping the neck should
be done just before going to bed, when
one can give plenty of time to the process.
1t is not a thing that can b. gone
through with hastily If good results are
to be attained.
In beginning this Treatment the neck
and chest should have thorough wash
ing with hot water. This should be done
not only to remove any dust from the
pores, but also to open them that they
may easily absorb the unguent to be
applied. While washing it would be we'll
to rub on a bland soap of any kind, as
this helps to soften the flesh. Ten minutes

and then the neck should be gently wipe

Following the cleansing pour into the
palm of one hand the oil or oam that
is to be used. This fattener is smearcd

be applied in this manner until the skin
has been thoroughly creased. the unguent

base of the throat. The necessary rotary
movement should be done Slowly, by de-
