DO AWAY WITH DOUBLE CHIN
Exsreises and Applications That Will
Strengthen the MuseIes Will
Restore Good Ap-
DeaFance.

Double chins are Of various kinds.
There is the chin which is simply too
fat. Then there il the double chin
which is caused by the shortness of
the neck and the habit Of carrying the
chin 800 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 right down
from the end of the chin to the dip
in the throat.
Alcohol strengthens the muscles e
the neck. Dash your threat 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
ments will cure the worst case imag-
Unable.
The throat of the young girl Is slim
and her head sits upon her neck as
upon q pedestal Her shoulders are
sloping and her whole appearance is a
study in curves; her neck is but a
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.
A stringy chin can re hardened by
Shaping it with cologne water. The
slapping should take place at night
and the hand should be filed with
the perfume and spatted On the neck.
A chin that is held high does not
look as fat as the chin that is Struggled
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 a 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.
