not any nearer the ideal of grace
full beauty than are painfully
scrawny ones.
Many woman with over.
plump shoulders and neck makes
the mistake Of displaying them
freely in her evening gown or
dinner frock with the idea that in
this way she adds to the: attrao-
tiveness Of her appearance. Moth
Ing Is further from the truth.
Over-large shoulders and arms
should be softly draped in chif-
fon or other clinginga material. in
a dark or neutral shade, as this
will tend to distract attention
from their size.
The best plan Of all, however,
is to reduce your neck and shoul-
ders, by means Of intelligent ex-
ercise to proportions that, are
neither too large nor too small,
but in proportion.
Here is an exercise you will be
wise indeed to add to the list
Of those you practice each morn
ing before your open window,
prior to your refreshing tepid
bath. If you persist in it, week
after week and month after
month, you will be delighted with
the graceful charm Of contour
that your chin, neck and Shout
ders will attain.
Stand erect with your hands
on your hips and the weight of
your body on your right foot,
which should be thrust well for
ward. Stretch without straining
until you have gained every inch
Of height you can.
Now tilt your head backward
as far as you can, still taking
care to avoid strain. Turn your
head to the right as far as you
can. SO that you will be looking

this same movement with your

the muscles Of the lower part of
your face more firm, Repeat both
exercises with your head turned
to the left instead of the right.
This exercise should be practised
twenty times or more each day.
You will realize when you try
the exercise that it brings into
play the muscles Of your lower
face, neck, chin and shoulders
thus stimulating circulation and
replacing fatty tissue with firm
rounded muscles.
In addition to this exercise
keep your neck soft and white by
including 1t always in your facial
cold cream bath. Do not forget
when you start to the beach fora
swim to include your neck and
shoulders in the cold cream rub
you give your face, to- prevent
sunburn. Otherwise you may have
a blistered neck and shoulders

which is rightly yours. -

Farrar Concert Here Is
 Leading Musical Event

] Geraldine Farrar who is to sing at ! the Palace theater next Thursday | evening under the auspices of the 1 New Britain Musical club is the greatest gift that America has yet made to art of music, and is an art ist with'a truly unique position. She is of neither the purely lyric nor heroic type but falls between the two. She seems to be a particularly apt ex- prcssion of the artistic impulse of our time as it is found in opera and in song. II is as if she were specially created to embody the ideals of mod ern composers who demand not mere ly bauty of singing. but breadth of action and attraetivenoss of personal ity.
 Yet she is far from being limited in her art to the ultra -modern types Of opera and song. She is among the few singers of today who can do jus tice to the suayc melodies of Mozart and the other masters of the classic period, who. taking the long melodio line employed by them, build a struc- ture of perfect architecture. The singing of Mozart air is a final test of the art of singer. There is no emotional turbulence with which to conceal defects of method. Every note must have it's full just value, its perfect production, its absolute com mand of breath, and above all, in phrasing, 1t demands musician. Whether Miss Farrar sings an aria by Handel or Lulli, Il chanson by Grctry, a melody by Mozart, a song filled with the romantic out-pourings Of Schu- bert or Schnmann. or the expression Of ultra.modernity as found in Rich ard Strauss and Hugo Wolf, her art is always sufficient.
