DO AWAY WITH DOUBLE chin !
Exercises and Applications That Will
Strengthen the Muscles Will
Restore Good Ap-
pearance.

The fad for Dutch necks has struck
terror TO the heart of the woman
with the double chin.
Double chins are of various kinds.
There is the chin which is simply too
fat. Then there is the double chin
which is caused by the shortness of
the neck and the habit of carrying the
chin too low. And again. there is the
chin which merely looks double be-
cause of faulty dress, as by wearing
collars too tight.
The necklace calls attention to the
double chin. Before putting on a
necklace the woman with fat chin
should massage it downward. She
should take the palm of her hand and
stroke the tip of her chin with a Wig
Orous stroke.
Then she should rub rigio down
from the end of the chin to the dip
in the throat
Alcohol strengthens the muscles OF
the neck. Dash your throat with alco-
hol and massage it downward. An
other excellent massage for remov-
Ing the double chin is the ice massage.
Press the ice securely upon the flesh
and massage down. A dozen treat
Unable.
The throat of the young girl is slim
and her head sits upon her neck as
upon a pedestal. Her shoulders are
sloping and her whole appearance is a
study in curves: her neck is but Il
stem which supports her head But
as she grows older the throat thickens
from neglect, the curved chin becomes
square and under the chin there come
rolls of flesh, and this stage marks the
old woman.
The Japanese woman sets flower
in her hair so that it trails at one ear.
This makes her neck look slim
mer. The French woman dresses her
throat very high or she makes the
neck look prettier in tone by clasping
pink velvet ribbon around it. Over
the ribbon is fastened the dog collar
The pink lends color to the neck lace
and tone to the skin.
A stringy chin can be hardened by
s!apping it with cologne water. The
slapping should take place at night
and the hand should be filled with
the perfume and spatted on the neck.
1t whitens the throat and makes the
flesh firmer and the skin harder.
A chin that is held high does not
look as fat as the chin that is snuggled
down in the neck. Lift your chin, twist
your head, throw it back until the
couture rests upon your shoulders,
and you will get some idea of neck
and chin exercise
Dancing is the best exercise for a
double chin. The head is thrown to
one side and the neck is made supple.
The Spanish dances and the so-called
skirt dances are good for the exercise
OF the neck muscles.
An exercise practiced by actresses
is that of touching the ear to the
shoulder. Each day the ear is rubbed
upon the shoulder half dozen times
in quick succession until the neck is
supple.
You should be able to span your
throat with your thumbs and first
fingers. Touch your thumbs together
under your chin. and If your throat is
in proportion to your size your fore
fingers will just meet at the back.

Suicides In Natal.

The abnormal suicide wave which
Is passing over this country has been
thought, and it is we'll that 1t should
be so. In Natal within the past four
weeks there have been three suicides
OF Europeans, which, on the basis OF
population, is four times greater than
the suicide rate in England and Wales,
a deplorable state of affairs indeed
In Durham a few weeks ago it was
stated that suicides were taking place
at the rate Of one a day.-Natal Wit.

W " the young man signed it,

was familiarly known to his intimates.
But the fortune had conditions at

: Old Peter had been one Of the old
settlers of Plumvlle; his son had
been born there and married there,
and "Dickey" had first seen the light
OF day at the same place. But with
the increase of fortune "Dickey's"
mother had developed society lean
ings, and she had taken "Dickey"
east where she could dabble in the
edges Of the society sea, and "Dickey"
had grown up in the atmosphere OF

When 1t came to the question of a

that he spent the greater part Of his
teens and neared his majority in Eng

English snobbery.
1t was with considerable disgust
that Dickcy read the letter from his

"A beastly bore, don't you know"
said Dickey as he read the letter for
the third time. Il say now, why could
not the old codger have left that out?"
1t was on the first Of July that
Dickey arrived at Plumville, monocle,
brilliantly checked trousers, white
spats, walking stick and all the other
essentials without which life in Lon.

Plumville just at that time was very

To be Overdressed is an acknowl.

heavy clothes, which in their turn are
adened with elaborate and weighty
trimmings. is an object worthy of the
pitying consideration Of those kind.
hearted people whose vocation it is to
protect helpless infants from inhuman
treatment.
Some babies-and this in the very
| best families-wear slips. to the eX-
clusion of dresses. the latter being re-
served for "ceremonious" occasions,
such as a christening.
If slips are to be worn in its wax
ing as well as in its sleeping hours,
the nurse must see to it that the ward
robe holds a-plenty. Ten is a good
number. and from two to four dresses
will be sufficient, the number to be de-
termined by the social proclivities of
the wee one.
There should be white petticoats to
wear with these dresses the number
should equal the number Of dresses.
A good all-round material for babies
slips is English nainsCUk 1t is soft
and pliable, launders prettily and
wears well. A very good quality can
! be bought for 25 cents the yard Ia
trihe cheaper by the piece).
There comes a finer quality, as well
as less expensive one, but the grade
quoted above is good for general wear.
The petticOats may be made of Eng
lish nainsook, and this material is
quite suitable, too, for dresses.
Fine longcloth Is sometimes used for
slips and petticoats.
Ideal material for the christening
robe is handkerchief linen. Batiste is
charming and so is French nainsook
The most appropriate trimming for
baby clothes is hand embroidery in the
daintiest of designs and little lace
fine in quality and pattern.
Hemstitching or feather-stitching is
sufficient adornment for the simple
clothes. Join the seams with entire
deux when practical.
Flannel or outing flannel makes nice
little "nighties" for cold nights. Silk
and wool flannel is more satisfactory
than all wool, as it does not shrink
with the many necessary washings.
French flannel or cashmere makes
the useful little wrapper. while sacques
may be made of the aforementioned
materials or of challis or outing fan
mel.
Cashmere is good for the cloak, and
silk may be used. For summer there
are lingerie cloaks with lining Of In
dia silk to add warmth. These have
the double advantage of being daintily
attractive and at the same time wash
able
Caps may be of muslin or silk
Great care should be taken that the
wee baby is neither Inconvenience
nor hurt by buttons or pins. One
young mother kept her sewing basket
beside the baby basket. Each morning
she sewed Mr.. Baby up in his clothes
and each night she ripped him out.

THE ENGLISH uION-HEAR 1T
ROAR!

The curiosity of the visitors and
the townspeople was at white heat.
and they flocked into the tent as soon
as it was opened.
There was Dickey in hastily con-
structed cage, securely bound down on
all fours. properly arrayed in his
checked trousers, white spats, with his
monocle fastened securely in place
and himself decorated with a bushy
tail. The charman's young hopeful,
garbed in continental uniform and
cooked hat, was operating the tail
piece. This was but doubled strand
Of rope fitted around Dickey's stom-
ach so tightly that when given an
extra twist or two it became torture
to the victim, and produced the prom.
ised roar.
The crowd went wild with delight
at the novelty Of the entertainment
while Dckey roared, and howled, and
swore, and vowed vengeance upon
Plumville and the entire nation.
The 500 worth OF fireworks with
which Plumville wound up its celebra
tion were promptly paid for when the
bill was presented. Dickey spent his
birthday in bed in the town hospital
and has not been heard from since the
day following, though the fame OF
Plumville's British lion has spread
from ocean to ocean. Should he fai

gestions are made in relation to the
carrying on of the Taft campaign in
Delaware. Chairman dupont notifies
the Taft League of the designation of
DR.. George W. Marshall to have charge

and speaks highly of the ability of
DR.. Marshall to perform such services.
He suggests that the League and Dr.

The Taft League derives the funds
