NOT HARD TO BEAUTlFY BACK
Massage and Cold Cream viii Be
Found to Work Wonders With

Dame Fashion has pity on her de-
voices. She refuses to take into con-
sideration their shortcomings, Thus
she DEGREES this year that decollette

few women have beautiful backs to
display
Yet If we are to be in fashion this
year we must wear our evening frocks
cut out generously in the back, and
to create pretty effect the average
woman must do something to beautify
her back.
Just because you have pretty skin
on your face, don't take it for ganted
that your back and shoulders can
boast of so fine covering. There the
skin as a rule is much coarser, it's
texture and color are quite different
from your pink and white complexion
Unless your back is badly formed,
and few women are thus afflicted. you
need not despair of identifying this
part of your anatomy. Massage will
do wonders in making tie skin fine,
Snd various bleaching lotions can be
applied to tighten the color The
greatest difficulty the average woman
will encounter is the fact that she
cannot take this treatment alone.
Either a maid. a sister, mother. or
a kind friend must be pressed into
service, for it is almost impossible to
reach ones own back to massage it
properly.
The identifying treatment is very
much like that applied to the face
