Double Chin and FIabby Neck.
Miss NJ C.-In the case of a double chin
prevention is much easier than to cure
Tight collars always make ugly rolls
OF fat under the chin. and the habit of
holding the chin down and in is fatal.
do not believe in the harsh treat
ment of the throat and chin which Is
practiced by many, and as the contour
OF my profile and the frmness of nv
throat have been remarked, 1t is but
natural that I think the simple means
oy which 1 have kept them so, very
effective.
All that you must do is to lift your
head and blow at bit of imaginary
thistledown. keeping the chin in the
air Tor about five minutes, supposing
the thistledown to be first on one side
OF you and then on the other. Try
this before your glass and see how It
rounds out your neck and tightens
the muscles.

WANTTHE
TIME EXTENDED
For Closing of Halloween
Puzzle Contest.

So you are finding the Halloween puzzle
very difficult?
am very sorry, but 1t does not seem
to me so hard as many another enigma
you have solved with ease.
Perhaps, after all, 1t is just because 1t
is a little different from the usual run
Of puzzles that you are experiencing
trouble, for surely there is not a name
or phrase in the whole thirty-one num-
bers that you have not heard from child
hood in connection with All Halloween.
Put on your thinking cap and turn
your thoughts backward to the witch
ing night with its magic mirrors, wells
Of water. fortune telling, and its many
weird rites, and I am sure you will be
able to fill In the number that you tell
me seem so impossible.
But let me brighten the way for you
with the assurance that you are not
alone in your troubles, for scores Of
other folks have written me or. 'phoned
me their puzzle woes, and some have
even gone so far as to beg an extension
OF time.
This is impossible, for the contest must
close at noon on Friday, but never
mind thati
Surely you haven't forgotten so quickly
the weeks when only three or four num-
bers Of certain puzzles were discovered,
and when prize awards were made on
such imperfect lists that the recipients
Of the prizes declared that they felt
ashamed to read the announcement in
The Washington Herald ON Sunday, OF
how few numbers they did untangle?
Everybody is in the same boat this
week, so feel no hesitancy in sending
along your list as you have It, being very
sure that It is as nearly correct, and
perhaps more so than that OF all the
other puzzlers.
Remember, too, that Just two more
days remain to you in which to IN
tangle the queer little enigma with its
locoed and descriptive numbers.
One member Of the puzzle circle, who
is partial to locoes, wrote me that she
could untangle the portion of the puz-
zle that had only the letters twisted
around. but when Il came to the de-
numbers. she was entirely out
of the running.
Others declared themselves in favor NJ
the descriptive numbers, and would hava
the locoed ones stricken out
So there you are! .

SECRET OF CHARMING
YOUTHFUL .COMPLEXIONS

Most sensible advice comes from the
pen OF Mae Martyr. in the San Fran
cisco Call, as follows:
The greatest mistake which thou
sands of women make daily, Is the
practice of smearing their faces with
powder in a vain attempt to improve
their looks. Powder only covers up
complexion ills temporarily, clogs the
skin pores, and eventually causes
blotchy, wrinkled faces.
"Those who wish to whiten and
beautify their compilations and make
their faces more charming and youth
full looking, should try an inexpensive
lotion made by dissolving ounces of
spurmax in either h-pint hot water
or h-pint witch hazel, adding 2 tea
spoonfuls glycerine. Where witch
hazel is used, the skin dries more
quickly.
"rhis lotion prevents blackheads, en-
larged pores, skin roughness, and
makes the skin soft, smooth, and vel
vety. It takes on that shiny. sallow
look and adds beauty that no other
known beautiner Will"

INTERESTING INCIDENTS
OF THE BABY CONTEST

their mother suggested that they looked
even younger when dressed in their sail
or suits, but of course this made no
real difference in the facts OF the case.
They were five years old in sailor

able fact that barred from the con-
test these lovely brown eyed boys of five
years, who speak three languages.
Too Old for Contest.
These are not the first children brought
to me whom 1 would have loved to have
boiled down a year or two, because
many requests have been made for the
entry Of some very beautiful babies who
have passed the three-year limit
In many instances the real little cod
gers have brought their own picture just
to let me see that they did not fatter
them" their mothers told me. and one
little maid produced a photograph from
under her arm that was little smaller
than herself.
The border Of the picture was be-
smudged with finger marks, indicative
of the little girls partiality for this
particular likeness of herself
This isn't the picture I like best Of
her, her mother explained, but It is
the one she likes, so I brought it,
The interest yesterday in the Bachrach
Studio, in F street, was no less keen
than than in The Herald Office, for the
photographer is simply swamped with
babies.
Is yours among those who have been
taken to Mr.. Bachrach for a free pic
ture to enter in the contest?
Or have you sent me a photograph
you already had?

By JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

When opened the big drawer re-
served for the Borden Baby Contest
yesterday morning hundred or more
babies rolled right out into my lap.
Some of them were all dressed up for
the occasion, but the majority of them
were just ready for their bath, and
thought it would be nicer to let me in
on this happy hour of their day.
Above the cIamor Of the throng to
gain my attention Master Joseph Thomas
made his voice heard.

Of news of sufficient Importance to cause
the other dear babies to give him the
right of way.

mother wrote it." he explained as 1 un-
folded the little missive and read as fol-

To Develop, the Bust.

Reader-I do not believe in any internal
remedy for beauty ills. Diet, pure
air, cleanliness, and sensible cultiva-
tion of ones charms are all that are
necessary to insure to any woman a
loveliness that will last as long as
she lives.
Gentle massage with warm cocoa

hard pressure tends-to fiatten them,
so II you wear forms OF any kind,
they should be made as light as pos
sible; a framework of wire or whale
bone that will not press anywhere is
best
The following exercise is beneficial
to develop the bust: Double your fists
as tightly as you can, bringing them
together in front with the arms raised
so as to be horizontal. While keeping
your arms on a level with your shoul-
ders, slowly separate your fists as
widely as possible.
Be sure and eat fat-making foods,
sleep a good deal, and don't worry.
Deep breathing also will help to en-
large your bust, and singing is a splen-
did exercise. You never knew q great
