In these days when the decollet" gown is worn to greater event than ever before. it behooyes tn" girl who cares straw for her good looks to see that her neck is in perfect condition before she b%res it to public view Half the beauty of low cut frock is ruined by an ugly throat No throat need be ugly-at least as far as the white ness and texture of the skin is con cerued d-providcd that the beauty seeker is willing to take a l'ttle trouble in order to make her throa, beautiful.
 Of course if nature has endowed one with neck and shoulders Of ar ugly shape there is little that car he done But this does not mean that a too fat or a too thin neck need be tolerated. for both condi- tions can be decidedly improved bY the right treatment.
 For a Thin Neck.
 For the thin, scrawny neck n2th- ing is so good as a massage with cocoa butter or olive oil. This sounds disagreeable, but as a mat ter of fact the treatment is very pleasat and the effect decidedly beneficial. The cocoa butter or oil should be rubbed in at nIght, the neck and shoulders first hay ing been thoroughly cleaned with warm water and the pores of the skin having been opened by the application of cloths wrung ont 1T very hot water Then the oil or butter. whichever is decided upon, is rubbed in gently. but thoroushly, as a hard massage would be apt to rub away any flesh that alre ady

 But there are many things doubt less. that are worth repairing gloves that need mendins and @lHan ing. rug that is badly stained. bu' not worn out. picture frame that needs brightenine up and other al. tIcleS that need cleaning and m"nd- mg
 For all these material ailments and defects patent cleansers. pa .nts or stains are sod. and if directions are followed results are generally sure and satisfactory But the aver age woman thinks that every de'ail in the somewhat involved direct Cns may not be important and so the remedy fails and she planes tn" maker.

 As for the "don'ts' remember these: Don't contract the throat when speaking Try to keep it free, the cords flexible and easy 10 man age Don't forget that it is worth practicing in the privacy O ones room to learn the natural register the tones in which the voice works best
 By these exercises there is not the slightest danger of becomine declamatory. declamatory a'yle of conversation is horror. but much will be gained if one tries the experiemeNt of making tone reach to the next room without rais- ing the pitch of the voice.

SIMPLE REMEDIES FOR
 FRECkLES AND TAN.

The noted prima donna and beauty of the Metropolitan Opera company Lucrezia Borl writing for the New York American. says:
 Freckles turk in every beam et sunshine The warmth of the sum mer sun stimulates the cells that form the coloring matter of your skin and result in the formation of freckles and tan. Perhaps the par ticles of coloring matter in your skin distribute themselves evenly over your face If so you are sub Ject to tan. In the case of your sister this coloring may collect in little groups or freckles. Either of these unwelcome gifts of freakish nature is difficult to remove. It is better to coat the skin with a protecting cold cream and dust it over with fine powder, like the new Russian pine recently sold n the shops
 However. if you have been care less during the summer months try batting buttermilk or sweet cream on the face several times a day You might soak a piece of clean linen in either of these liquids and wash the face with it. Wipe off the remaining coating with rosewater or a mixture of water and tincturc of benzoin-twelve drops of the lat ter to pint of water.
 The following recipes are excel lent to remove tan
