REDUCING THE DOUBLE CHIN
Simple Methods, Persevered In, Will
Speedily Do Away With obiec-
tionabIe Feature.

One of the most Objectionable fea-
lures Is the double chin. This can be
remedied in one month by the follow
ing exercise: First soap the under
part of the chin with pure soap, and
plenty of it. Then throw the head
back till the face looks up to the cell
ing. Then press firmly the under chin
with the thumbs while at the same
time make the lower chin move back
and forth against the thumbs. 1t will
take some practice, but you will soon
find the way to cause the movement
of the fat part of the chin. This will
strengthen all the muscles and at the
same time it will eliminate the fatty
cells. The soap aids in this by cutting
the fat from the skin.
The exercise can be endured and
even enjoyed If you have a graphic
phone and take the exercise by the
music. set my graphophone out in
the rear garden and take my physical
culture out in the open air. Besides
the exercises l had in the college class
es l have discovered many new ones.
Wherever there is EXCESS fat just
keep on till you find a motion that
will cause a movement of that fat,
then work-Health.

Red-HeeIed Slippers.

1t was only natural that the incom-
Ing of effective little frocks should
have brought with them the high-heel-
cd slippers of the Louis XVI. period,
with their immense buckles in front
and their slashes of red behind There
is new kind of heel, too, which Is
used On these black slippers, and it
makes the foot look about three
inches shorter than it is.
One would say that it was impossi-
BILE to walk in them il one had not
witnessed the ability of women to get
along in yard-wide skirts and Spanish
heels that put them on stills. We
have learned during the last three
years that there are few limitations
to what women can do in the name
of fashion; If ever these Louis heels
are adopted by the majority of Amer
lean shoemakers, women will wear
them, and not only turkey trot in
them, which is all very well, but they
will go shopping in them, which is all
very wrong.
The Colorado statesman., 1913-09-06

TOR those who wish to observe a
period of mourning and are con-
4 fronted by objections to all-black
apparel, or find it not practical
for daily wear there is now the al
tentative of all-white or white and
black in combination. In the smart
est shops and at the leading costumers
one may order mourning in either
black or white. Crepe, which is the
recognized insignia of mourning, has
been used with wonderful effective
ness, especially in millinery. Black
Grape hats and wells. for first mourn
ing, have been duplicated exactly in
white Grape. This is an exquisite
fabric and since the designers began
using it they have achieved some
new and wonderfully beautiful effects
not possible in other materials.
1t is not merely a whim of fashion
that has brought about the adoption
of the new white mourning" 1t is
a change of sentiment with regard to
the meaning of mourning apparel.
One need not think very long to con-
clude that white mourning is meeting
demand for something more than
merely "the trappings and the suits
of woe" 1t is less oppressive than
black; in fact it is not at all somber.
Those who are in mourning will not
be obliged in the future to confine
themselves to black or to white or
even to combinations of these; for
mourning fabrics are woven in gray
and in certain lavender shades. But
Grape is most effective in black or
white.
Tailored suits of white serge made
up with exquisite neatness and fault
lessly cut are favorites for mourning.
Worn with either black or white hats
and wells they cannot be excelled for
elegance. A fad of the hour is to
The Colorado statesman., 1913-09-06

wear black low shoes with white hose
or high white shoes with their tailored
gowns.
For white mourning wells all made
of chiffon or Brussels net or other
yelling materials bordered with
Grape. These bordered wells are
often draped on the hats in such a
way as to provide their only trim
ming. They are nearly always thrown
back off the face or draped to hang
from the back of the shape which is
almost invariably made entirely of
Grape.
One of the new, elongated shapes,
with medium wide rolling brim, is
shown here covered and trimmed
with white Grape. The veil of chiffon,
bordered with Grape, is arranged to
be worn either over or off the face.
There are almost no trimmings on
the most elegant mourning hats ex-
cept those that are made of Grape.
Roses and lilies are favorites and are
wonderfully beautiful.
A new shape suggesting poke
bonnet is pictured here, made OF
black Grape except for the facing,
which is pure white in a rich soft
quality of the material This white
facing redeems the hat from somber-
ness and makes it brilliant piece
of millinery. Besides, white next
the face is most becoming to every
woman.
The coarse-meshed silk nets, bor-
dered with bands of Grape three

vogue and are in the majority among
fashionable wells. Nevertheless they
are less becoming than chiffon. But
wells are so seldom worn over the
face that this item may be ignored.
Nets are very strong and durable.

To Clean White Kid Shoes

For cleaning white kid shoes, get a
clean white cloth. soak it in gasoline,
then dip the cloth in powdered pre-
pared chalk. Rub until all dirt is re-
moved, then allow shoes to dry in the
air, but not in the sun. Always use
the chalk and gasoline together, as
gasoline alone will in time cause the
kid to turn yellow. Do this in a cool
place away from heat or artificial
light and not in the hot sun.
