on How DO KEEP YOUNG and PRETTY
THE BATTLE OF THE DOUBLE CHIN

is being observed and some OF Us are
vain enough to want to lock our best
at al times. Now when you put your
head down any little line Of fatigue
or the lines OF expression seem to be
twice as deep because Of the way in
which the light falls Young people
look older and only children or very
young girls escape without the deep
shadows which the light casts, taking
away some of their youthful looks. II
you are tired you look more so with
your head down Every line OF fatigue
is accenruated- Naturally one looks
much older. Many people have a habit
Of keeping the head bent all the time,
and in most cases IL is a most unbs-
coming way TO hold il, for the eyes
don't show to good advantage. the nose
looks too long and the chin, IL II is at
all heavy. at once takes on an extra
fold Then you have a double chin no
matter what your age So hold your
head up constantly and get the habit.
Like all good habits, IL is hard to ac-
quire, but worth while, for 1t keeps you
looking young
