~HE chin is rather n neglected fea-
II ture, more's the pity. Women
spend a deal OF time giving
- beauty attention to the rest Of
their physiosro my but the chin, too
often gets off with lick and a prom
se. as one might say. Hours--and
dollars--are spent on the hair; 1t s
shampooed. singed. supplied with
tonic, FURNISHED, curled and matched
with expensive artificial tresses. Even
more dollars are spent on the teeth.
The complexion receives its due share
but il is the complexion above the
chin that most women worry about;
the chin is hardy sort of member
and seems really to demand little ex-
cept ordinary Cleanliness-until the
day comes when long neglect becomes
apparent. 1t may look dingy and yell
lowed: it may have grown fabby and
shrivoled; it may have developed-or
show signs OF developing loose
bag of flesh called a double chin: or
il may reveal itself rough and covered
with blackheads. or worse yet, pim-
pies. All. usually, because 1t has been
neglected.
The beautiful chin is milk white

tip. Its skin Is soft and It's contours
rounded. even when It ia square,
determined little chin. The sharp.
peaked chin is never lovely, no mat
ter how white it may be. Underneath
the jaw the line Of the beautiful chin
blends softly into the line of the neck
and the line is the line of youth. The
trouble Is that women do not look
often enough at their profiles. 1t Is
| the profile view that tells the hrst
story about age-in the chin: from
front view the contour Of the chin
appears pretty much the same until
! the double chin has become fairly OBJ
vious. And ono should remember that
| II is the profile, not the full face that
| is presented most to critical eyes.
| Other people see our profles three
times as often as they do our full
| face presentment; yet at our own pro-
! files we rarely look. save in cursory
manner While we regard our back hair
by means Of a d-glass.
The dreaded double chin, ominous
sign Of advancing age. does not make
| It's appearance first in a baGgy look

angular break in the soft curve OF
youth between chin and throat. The

There are several 1880 features il,

from Premet. notably tho off-ihe-
shoulder line suggested here by a deem
bertha of black velvet. Evening
gowns of the '3Os fell off the shoulder
in precisely this fashion; in fact the

upper edge OF this black velvet bertha

tween the 1880 evening bodice and the

tured as applying half q lemon TO her
throat. the chin has tho soft sweeping
line of youth. Now look at the pic
ture Of the older woman with head
raised in profile view. Tho flesh has
begun to adhere to the tawbone. giving
the peaked effect which will later he
pronounced as age approaches. Take
pencil and make a shadow back
of the chin cartilage under either of
these pictured chins and YOU will i'm.
mediately produce an effect of middle
age.
In order to keep the chin Young
and round as long as possible, it
should be massaged with thumb and
finger-tip daily: not only over the bag
ging flesh of what may become the
double chin but also under the carti-
lage at the tip, to keep the flesh and
muscles under the iawbone free and
flexible. Massage for a double chin
is illustrated in another picture. With
head thrown back, the finger-tips are
placed over the throat, thumbs up. or
back. Then the tingertips are drawn
firmly upward to the ears, meeting
again and drawing upward again,
over and over The massage should
be given with n good flesh food, after
a thorough cleansing Of the chin and
throat with warm water. Afterwsrd
ice cold water should be dashed
against chin and throat. This will
harden f1accid muscles and incidental
ly will be Il great preventive Of colds
and sore throat.
A double chin can he reduced meas
urably by the wearing of a chin ban

superhuous flesh will almost certainly
follow a shriveled, stringy look that

If the chin should he anything, II
should be white and spcckless. Too
often its wilderness is spoiled by black
heads. Few chins are scrubbed with
soap ana water as they ought to be.
First tho pores must be opened by
hot water and soap scrub siven with
Il f1cshbrush. Then scrub tho chin
with this solution: FIVE cents worth OF
CASTLE soap, dissolved. four ounces OF
alcohol, the juice of two lemons, and
two drops of carboiic acid. After the
scrubbing rub little skinfood into
the skin. This treatment may he

Both Skirts and Sleeves Are StifYened.

1t is by the cortrasted effect Of soft
ly draping and crisply flaring materials
that Paris achieves inimitable chic
this spring. For example, IL a skirt
fares widely, sleeves that droop Imply
lend the note of contrast. Sometimes
a stitiiy intcrlinc1 tunic flares over
skirt of soft folds, In an otherwise
crisp frocll draped revers or a soft
sash end may furnish the contrasting
note of grace. Though the spring
frocks are deliberately stiffened under
meath they present no suggestion OF
rigidiiy or harsh lines. This is partly
due to the soft silks, chiffons and
laces used in their make up and part

underneath.

The close ruche of pinked out white

from the hem to the silk ruche which

again over the folds of chiffon in tho
