Correcting Flabby Chin.

Nature proceeds slowly but steadily in
building up or tearing down a woman's
beauty, but there are times of great
stress when the work of months or years
seems to be compressed into few days.
A case Of this kind has recently been
brought to my attention. A woman just
past her fiftieth birthday. well preserved
and youthful for her years, met with a
sudden bereavement. In one terrible
night she grew old and haggard. She
lost 10 pounds. Her cheeks began to
sag and the flesh under her chin became
loose and baggy. AS Is usual in such
cases, the loss of weight was most pro-
nounced about her face and neck.
Quick changes of this kind may result
from unusual mental strain, illness or

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
BY MEHRAN X. THOMSON.

We work in order to accomplish
something, We rlay for the sake Of
playing. Play is an end in itself, while
work is a means to some other end. A
hobby Is the favorite form of play or
diversion TO which one deyotes great
deal Of time. Almost an activity may
become a hobby for some one.
A real hobby Is able to absorb the
energies of the whole man for the time
being and make him forget his work
or his troubles. 1t is most useful and
convenient method of releasing the
strain Of living. 1t Is said one of the
chief hobbies Of Abraham Lincoln was
telling humorous stories.
We have hobbies, then, chiefly for re-
Taxation and flight from the sterner
aspects OF life. This relaxation and es-
cape from reality is possible through
hobbies because the mind is capable OF
harboring ideas. practice or a me-
char!cal function through the force of

Hobbies give us a sense of security

Hobby is a form of obsession. You

Mary overweights who are impatient to
lose their excess burden Of flesh at a
rapid rate are tempted to try scanty
freak diets or so-ca,led reducing pills
that bring the weight down with disaS-
trous results to health and beauty
Nature resents such sudden changes
because they derange her methodical
workings. After the damage is done 1t
cannot be requaired quickly. 1t Is al
ways easier TO tear down than to build
up. The fiabby skin on face and neck
cannot be frightened overnight but must
be treated over period Of months to re-
store its f1rmness. In addition to local
treatments, the general health must also
be improved. Exercise and correct pos
ture are other factors that should be
borne in mind. The woman who fails
to improve her beauty is the one who
has neglected one or more of these
equally important items. She may be
faithful in taking local treatments, but

First Of all, there is the coffee
bean itself. Most coffees are

the flavor of the brand depends
upon this. Then che roasting Is an

In this way we will keep the aroma.

purpose. We can open the, coffee

ever, that freshly roasted coffee or
one which has not been exposed to
the air will give you q better cup
Of coffee than the blend Of the rat-
est coffees which has been allowed
to lose its delicate aroma.
With good coffee in the kitchen,
ground and ready to use, comes
the question Of preparation. Per-
haps the most important thing
again Is the question Of time. It
must be served as soon as possible
after 1t is ready.
When I smell the coffee boiling

/ am certain that the coffee at an
otherwise delicious meal will be
bitter and probably strong. One OF
the best reasons for the use Of an
electric percolator is that it does
not need to be started until the
family is at the table.
Two Popular Methods
This ID just 40 true OF other
percolatOrs and OF other coffee pots
but 1t Ii not as likely to be the
rule when coffee IL made in the

At present there are two popular
ways OF making coffee, the drip
method and the percoluting method.
For drip coffee the pot must be hot
and the water freshly boiling. This
means the cold water has been drawn
from the faucet and heated just to
boiling. Finely ground coffee Is
then put in the pot and the water IL
poured over this and allowed to drip
through while the pot IL kept in q
warm place.
