A Pretty Chin.

The first way in which a woman
shows her age is in the line of her
chin. When the chin line is no longer
young the whole profile becomes ma
ture or even middle-aged.
The first thing is a certain fiabbi-
ness of appearance The chin line no
longer runs clean and pure from the
soft round curve Of the chin itself
into the throat. At first the line seems
little uneven. little slack. After
some months. or some years. vary
definite wrinkle appears just behind
the chin. and a small pouch of fat
collects from this place and changes
the entire line. If woman becomes
too stout one wrinkle will form be-
hind another. so that instead of the
slim chin Of youth she has a whole
series of these f1eshy pouches under
the chin. If she is too thin the flesh
itself will wrinkle up and hang loose
ly where once it was properly elastic
