New York, Aug. 3o.-French styles
are not wholly immodest, according
to Mile. Claras, New York modiste.
OF course, she said, they are con-
stantly taking little more off the
top and bottom of their dresses,
and some of them have discarded
stockings entirely. hut the very
latest thing in apparel has some
what mitigated this.
According to Mile. CIaras. the
French girls are now wearing very
heavy coats-of henna powder-on
their faces. As a result. she said,
they look more like American In
dians than anything else.
Mile. Claras planned to intro
duce the stockingless fashion in the

The Head Nurse
COMBAT THE DOUBLE CHIN.

In the flush of first youth We
laugh at the beauty parIor habituc,
but as we crawl up into the thirtie<
and notice in our mirrors a bit OF
sagging under the chin there is mo-
mentarily a feeling of terror that
the goblin of age is going to get
Us If We don't watch out" Kiddies
and Young people keep ft by their
everlasting activity. The older one
grows, the more are the muscles
neglected. Particularly is this true
of the neck and chin. As a result
the tissues become relaxed and
habby. setting down into an un-
slightly roll To remedy this and
give firrtness and shapeliness to the
chin nothing is better than the fol-
lowing exercise:
Throw the head well back. at the
same time prOtruding the chin SO
that the entire chin and tissues just
below it will feel stretched. Keep
them thus stretched. and turn the
head slowly from left to right. II
persisted in this will surely give
symmetry to the chin. Some sore
ness of muscles will likely be felt
at first. This is good sign as it
SHOWS that the unaccuStOmed eXer-

Another method likewise success
full if used perseveringly is to mas
sage ny firmly pinching and lifting
the tissues with both hands, the
fingers meeting in the middle; and
then smoothing and pressing the
flesh from the chin toward the ears.
The use of the cold water spray
should follow either exercise; or
better still rub the muscles with
a piece Of ice to tone up and bring
the blood into the capillaries.
1t is every wOman's duty to look

consciousness that she is "hOlding

Where are you going, Uncle

morning, as she saw the bunny rab-
bit all dressed up in his tall silk
hat, getting ready to hop down off
the steps Of the hollow stump bun

"Oh, just to take a walk and look
for an adventure" replied the old
gentleman rabbit. II you want

PLAYING THE GAME.

1t was with great difficulty that
Mrs. Atherton and Barbara Wales
prevailed upon Alison to remain
with them until the next day. She
was all for running away at once,
declaring that she wouldn't run the
risk of meeting the youth from New
York again.
Don't be a little fool" counseled
Miss Wales sharply. "One would
think you'd never been kissed be-
fore in your life"
But, Cousin Barbara, l am a
married woman" protested Alison.
Her cousin looked her over spec
ulatively from the top of her bright
head to her slender, pretty feet,
Her glance took in the slant-eyes
with their Turing lids and fresh red
lips and quivering dimple set in the
exquisite pallor of her heart-shaped
face.
You don't look it-and you never
will" was her verdict Besides,
that boy has money and comes of a
good family. He may be nice to
