woman should study the art and make
1t part of her daily toilet. The tissues
are grasped at the middle OF the chin
and with firm stroks pressed inward upon
the underlying bone, and upward to-
ward the ears, never downward toward
the neck, but always upwards. They
sag down of their own inclination and
the object is to train them to remain
firmly in position and not to wander away
from their attachments A cream con-
tanning astringents should be rubbed into
the parts during massage; lotions that
have a tendency to shpink superabundant
tissues can be mopped on afterward, and
the chin line can even be bound up dur
ing sleep with those lotions. or better
still. with a celebrated lotion used by
the French and handed down to them
from the days of the courts of beauty.
when women lived and had their being
only in physical charms. This French
balm, when used daily, tones up the
soft structures. restores local vitality,
removes discolorations; in fact. restores
the bloom of youth. Bandages are
moistened in 1t and bound over the parts.

use Of Ice, Or Of very cold congresses
bound into position. These must be re-
moved the moment they become warm.

minutes two, three, or four times q day.

blotchy If subjected to 1t when 1t should
not be used

indoor confinement. weak eyes, inactivity

tions too numerous to mention. To re-

lower face. It goes without saying that
the teeth should be given far more care
than Is usually bestowed upon them.
Much can be done to beautify the teeth
after they have begun to break down; but
whatever Is done will never restore them
to their original condition. Both men and
women have been known to look twenty.
even thirty. years younger after they
have been fitted with artificial teeth, be-
