A Double Chin.

Dear Miss Doom:
Kindly answer In your paper what
I can dc to reduce a double chin. I am
not stout, but l seem to be getting a
double chin. What can I do for puts
under the eyes. A prompt answer will
greatly obltge, ANXIOUS.
There is really no cure for a double
chin. The important thing Is to dress
the neck in a way that will not tend to
push the flesh up close to the chin. A
mar can wear q rather low or slightly
collar and a oma with the
style will have no difficulty
in the selection of suitable neckwear.
Puffs under the eyes are an indication
that n is not In perfect health. and II
would be we'll to consult a physician.

Miss Olga Wynne, the dainty girl singer and harpist, will appeal to all who can distinguish good music when they hear it
 No vaudeville programme is com plete without a comedy number, and this will be provided by Brown and Farlardeau, an act that is as original as it is funny Mr. Brown has rep utation of beng able to do more stunts with a cigarette than any living per son. Watch the cigarette
