noticed how much alike men in
uniform look? While there is more
difference when it comes TO women
in uniform, make certain that you
maintain your own individuality, in
spite of the uniform look, by high
lighting your face with color.
The newest beautifiers are suit
bows - long, shaped scarfs, espe-
Cially designed to soften the sever
ity Of m n n n tailored suits.
Women with long necks will find
that the suit bows have Softening
effect. But the short-necked can
wear them, too, If they are tied a
bit lower and kept a bit smaller
than usual. The taller the girl. nat
rally. the bigger the bow can be.
The short woman, however, should
choose her sCarfS in soft material
and tuck the bow ends into her coat
or jacket TO avoid top-heavy look.
Easy to Wear
Any woman can wear any scarf
shape - long, square or ascot - as
long as it isn't too bulky for her
figure. However, only the long neck
can successfully carry off the very
dramatic choker type drape. The
average woman will find a lower.
lOOSer drape more effective. If you
are short, don't let scarf ends hang
loosely, but tuck them in ascot
fashion. Any shape Of face looks
better when the scarf drape has
width and serves as frame rather
than focal point.
incidentally, this interest IN
neCkS and necklineS should make
you more conscious about the phys
ical appearance Of your neck, with
out the kindly and concealing
draperies. There is nothing that re-
vealS a WOman'S age as quickly and
accurately as her neck. AS with
other features, however, age signs
can be Softened and postponed with
conscious effort and care.
Poor posture is a frequent cause
Of double chin in the front or a
dOWager's hump at the back of the
neck. Lack of residence and tone in
the muscles Of the neck, few Oil
glands in the skin all combine to
give your neck Wilted, creepy look.
Faulty posture that causes muscles
to become stretched and lax. en-
COurages deposits of fat in the It's
sues. OF course, all homely neckS do
not have double chins! Some are
thin and Stringy and dry skinned,
and the treatment differs somewhat

For Dry Neck
II your neck is thin and withered,
check up on the general state OF
your body. See If you are under
weight, nervous or restless. IL so,
YOU probably need a more nourish-
ing diet. In addition, take simple
neck exercises and pat the neck
with a rich cream daily TO soften
and Intricate the skin. Use one
of the granny CleanSerS once a week
to help both color and texture OF
the skin. A good mask that whips
up the circulation should be used on
neck and throat whenever you take
the time for a facial treatment,
This, too, will improve color and
tone OF the neck.
