Unsightly Necklaces,

Have you too many "necklaces"-1

around the front and sides o. the
neck, completely spelling its appear
ance? II you have. you want to get
rid of them at once, for nothing
spoils the appearance Of the neck as
much as these lines.
If you sleep with too high pillow
or If you sleep with your chin pulled
downward. these lines will be form
ing through all the hours of the
night The first thing you must do
Is to train yourself to sleep fiat on
the back with a very thin pillow or
with none at all.
The next thing to do is to massage
those wrinkles with fattening cold
with cocoa butter. Cocoat butter is
very heavy and very fattening. 1t is
much too heavy for the more delicate
skin of the complexion, but it is ideal
for the throat or chest. The best way
to use it is to hold towel wrung
from hot water, over the throat until
the pores of the skin are open and
the skin itself is red and warm. Then
heat the cocoa butter by holding it
near a fire or candle flame and rub it
over the skin. 1t cannot be mas
saged unless it is first warmed.
oughly into all these wrinkles, rub
bing back mad forth across them
that is. up and down the throat
The cocoa butter will grow stiff be-
cause the skin is warm. When you
have massaged thoroughly. wipe off
what remains on the surface Of the
skin. This sort Of treatment is most
valuable if given at night before go

BELFAST, Dec. 10 (By The Associ-

day by a majority of the County Coun-
Gil of Fermanagh, an Ulster County, to
recognize the authority of the Dali
Eireann, the police seized the council

listers rights would in no way be sac
rlnced or compromised until new pro-
posals mad been placed before the Cab
met of northern Ireland.
Therefore" the letter continues, "it
was with grave concern that we noticed
Ihat an agreement which materially in
voived listers interests had been
signed by his majesty's government
without our being consulted. A aues-
ton vitality affecting our interests is
the decision to establish commission
to review the boundaries between
northern and southern Ireland
There is, believe, no precedent in
the history of the British empire for
taking any territory from an estab~
llshed government without it's sanction.
Moreover, this is breach of the gov
ernment of Ireland act of 1920, which
was put in operation only last June.
I'm spite of the inducements held out
to Ulster under your arrangement with
the Sim Fein,' continues Sir James,
I'VE are convinced that it is not in the
interests of Great Britain or the en-
pire that Ulster should become sub
ordinate to the Sim Fein government.
We feel that in the years to come the
empire will realize the advantages of
having in northern Ireland q popula-
tion which is determined to remain
loyal to British traditions and citizen
ship, and we are glad to think that our
decision will obviate the necessity of
mutilating the Union Jack.

we are taking is in their interests and
