The Aging Chin.

Advancing years more often leave
their mark on the chin than around
the mouth or in crow w's-feet around
the eyes. A young chin will keep the
whole face young, but a middle aged
chin will add decade to Young
wOmans age. Often quite young girls
have old looking chins merely because
they neglect themselves or hold their
heads badly. Whatevery the age, the
best care should be taken Of the whole
lower part Of the face
If YOU have been stout and have
reduced, one of the first parts to show
the loss of flesh is the chin. The skin
which has stretched will hang in an
ugly, loose fashion unless YOU know
how to treat il. You must massage
II every day with little clea nsing
cream, kneading and pinchinG the
skin with the fingers so as to break
up the flesh and scatter il. Then You
must use very powerful aStringentS,
and If 1t has been badly stretched SO
that there iS a crease Immediately un-
der the chin and then "A loose pocket
of flesh. you must put the chin in a
sort of sling overnight. You can buy
chin straps If YOU want, or YOU can
make a bandage of strips of muslin
and bind snugly under the chin and
over the head.
II the chin is just beginning to
show its age and there is no extra
pocket Of flesh to get rid Of there,
the treatment Is a little different. You
steam the skin by holding hot, wet
cloths over 1t for about five minutes,
then you massage with flesh building
cream, wipe this off and rub with an
astringent IF the skin is old or dry
or withered, 1t needs the oils supplied
ny the flesh building cream as well
as the toning mp of the astrinrent.

The Swearing Habit.

Yes. they all do it. nowadays. i

European hotel. gossiping about the
young American girls, always to he

can't talk TO the best-mannered OF
them. without hearing at least half
dozen horrid words that were never
even permitted To he spoken in

ITS dreadful" agreed the other
woman. This habit of swearing
simply ruins a girls morals. She has
no claim to good reputation II she'x

pletives."
family has not hindered social sue
cess--but these cases have been ra
ther exceptional ones-so that 1t were
Hs well To think over the matter care
fully before getting in the habit OF
swearing tiuently.
First Of all, you may start In with
the mildest eXpletive in the world
something that even era ndma permits
herself when her patience Is sorely
tried.
Then YOU decide that isn't quite
strong enough, SO you find something
more pungent to take it's place-and
n
ther apt to embroider a little-grad-
ually falling into the habit of using
profanity on the slightest preteXt-
sometimes without any preteXt at all.
Your friends probably do the same
thing, and so you aren't made aware
of anything unusual in your general
conduct until, perhaps, You go to a
college house party where YOU are
thrown IN with all sorts Of boys and
girls.
Here you'll find yourself pursuing
your usual custom Of bursting into
rather violent language upon almost
any occasion, and OF using frequent
eXpletives to empha size certain re
marks.
You'll be chattering along happily
when youll become aware that one
two of the boys and girls are look
ing at you rather strangely-and II
will dawn on YOU that there are some
modern young people who dislike
few of the modern habits.
And you'll have to work awfully
hard to dispel the unpleasant impress
sion YOU made on those people.
You'll find that it's usually only
the young boys who think girls pro-
family amusing and clever. The older
boys will give you an entirely different
reception if YOU try any on them.
Ihe SafeSt course is To reduce your
list of swear words to nothing.
You'll he able 10 carry on Just as
spirited conversatio without the aid
of profanity, and you'll be in no dan
ger of antagonizing those boys who
are just fastidIous enough to think

Boston, Jan. 2l.-The steamer Iankton went ashore early today on Nix's Mate ledge, sandy bar in the Narrows of Boston harbor. The Navy Yard was notified by ra- dio from the coast guard cutter Tampa and the owners of the yes sel were asked to send a tug to her assistance. Three tugs were stand ing by at s o'clock.
