Ihis IS rather difficult if the neck has
grown dull with being covered with a
high stock or red from being tied with
tight velvet or embroidery. 1t some-
times happens that the actual embroid-

and II takes weeks to efface it.
A certain woman whose neck was
spoiled found that she could restore it
by the fruit and pulp method" This

There are various applications in use,
but the most successful one is the To-
ton which was tried upon the neck
Of a certain well known American beau
ty whose marriage was celebrated in
ondon within the last few weeks.
Beauty's wedding dress was a ceru-
lean blue, which is a light heavenly
blue. And though the neck was not
decollette, of course, it was cut rather
rounding and some delicate dyed blue
lace lay around the throat Now blue

But the lotion that worked best in
this case-and the trained eye OF the
French woman selected it at once-was
a curious ounce seed tea made after
a formula as old as the memory of
Josephine. 1t consisted of an ounce OF
thick ounce seed tea, mixed with half
an ounce each of glycerine and orange
flower water. This lotion whitened the
neck and made it fit for the blue gown
Beauty on this occasion wore some old
creamy pearls that were quite trying

Diamonds are terribly trying. They
are so brilliant that they rob the eyes
of their sparkle and make the skin look
dull. But the woman with a string of
diamonds will want to wear them. And
for her there is word of advice. which
is to place them over bit Of white
velvet The skin will not look quite
so dull if the diamonds are held away
from it. so to speak.
The fashionable neck of the summer
is rather full neck. not fat. but de-

classic neck is not pudgy But neither
is it scrawny. 1t is plump and round
and the head sets upon it in statue
fashion. The smile, a flower upon its
stem. may apply to the neck of a young
girl. But the mature woman must have
a full handsome throat.
The neck and throat will absorb oils
rapidly and the beauty who wants to
keep her chin from saggfng must rub
oil onto it every night. Her strokes
must be upward. from the throat to-
ward the tip of the chin. And she must
rub and rub until whole teaspoonfUl
of the oil has been rubbed in. This
done nightly will keep the skin in con-
dition as far as the formation of fat
is concerned. The chin will be just fat
enough.
The double chin is impossible 1t is
so absolutely disfiGuring that there is
no place for it in beautys calendar
AS soon as the chin becomes double
all good looks are gone. The chin must
be single. the throat must be round
and the neck and shoulders must be
well shaped. All of these things come
within the province of the beauty spe-
cialist.
If the chin has Just begun to show
the awful crease which is the fore
runner of doubleness it is time to take
it in hand. There is a woman who
strokes the chins of royalty. And she
boasts that there is not one double chin
among her clientele. She strokes the
double chin just as if begins to show

benzoin and warm water to make the
palm moist. This acts as an astringent

pudgy.
The art of handling the chin is an ex-
ira fine one. The woman who can ham
die her chin properly is pretty sure to
have a pretty chin. But she must keep

the art.
1t must not be stuck out goose fash
ion nor drawn in tightly to the throat
1t must be lifted clear of the neck and
prettily poised.
The chin must be pretty in profile; 1t
is a woman's own fault If the profile
of her chin is not good
The chin must be smooth and must
be free from the blemishes with which
too many chins are afflicted. This
means that il must be steamed until
the skin perspires and that some skin
