"IN THE CASE OF A
DOUBLE CHIN PREVENTION
IS MUCH EASIER THAN TO
CURE. TIGHT COLLARS -ALWAYS
MAKE UGLY
ROLLS UNDER THE CHIN,
AND THEY SHOULD BE
RELIGIOUSLY AVOIDED."

HE greatest trial to a woman whoso years
are beginning to tell ia the chin. It is
at the Junction of the chin with the neck
-that the -withering- process begins. The
tissues of the chin are often relaxed and
the flesh accumulates In a bag. The
young, in their well nigh perpetual mo
tion, use every muscle in the body, but
the average woman 1b not called upon In her occupa
tions and pleasures to throw up the head and put the
muscles of the chin on .a stretch, and as a result these
tissues become relaxed and flabby and the fat accumu
lates In ugly rolls.
As substitute for these natural movements a series
of exercises can be used which are easy and effective
in banishing the heavy chin. The first of these is to
throw the head back: as far as possible, thrusting out
the under Jaw at the sametlm so the whole chin wilt

LILLIAN RUSSELL'S ANSWERS TO INQUIRIES BY BEAUTY SEEKERS.
8. O.: Vaseline applied to the roots of the lashes
with a email brush will promote their growth. Be
careful when doing this that you don't get any of the
vaseline into the eyes, for oil of any kind will Irritate
them. It is best to melt the vaseline first, for It may
-be applied without danger of getting it into the eyes.
MISS C. H.! : The eyes Indicate whether your health
Is In good condition "or whether it Is poor. If your
eyes are dull there is something Internally wrong. To
have the eyes sparkle, you must first see that you are
In. good health. The eyes-should be washed each morn
ing with a good eye wash. - The eyes get dirty Just ae
the face will, and ibe particles of dust should be
Washed out ' A great many people are not careful with
their eyes. They go out In the dust or for dusty
ride and. never - think -of- washing, their eyes when they,'

kept on the stretch, turn the head first to the right
;and then to the left. This exercise. If persisted in, wUl
surely give firmness and symmetry, to the chin. Aftor
practicing It the muscles of the chin will feel sonj,
but that shows the effectiveness of the movements anl
that the muscles are retting the needed exercise.
The simple means by which I have kept the contour
come Indoors. Every one should take the best possible
care of the eyes. I shall send you a formula for an
eye wash if you will send me a stamped addressed
. envelope.' I shall also send you inductions for remov
ing blackheads. Apply a good cold cream to your lips
at night before retiring. This will soften them and
remedy the dryness. v '
MAUDE: A salve made... of tannin will sometimes
reduce the lips. It is difficult to reduce the lips. The
best way to do is to hold .the muscles of the lips in
control. Don't hold them so tight (hat they 'wH look un"
natural. I shall send you the formula if you care for
It and will send me a stamped addressed envelope.

A.: Redness or flushing of the face may be due to
external or internal causes. Heat and pressure are
among the" former; Indigestion is a common internal
cause. -Hot "drinks and hot and highly seasoned food
will often show this effect Naturally the cause must
be removed. Diet must be regulated. Boiled or baked
food is advisable. ' Fried food and many raw foods
should be excluded. Individual peculiarities must be"

of my profile and the firmness of my throat are within
the reach or every woman. All that you must do is to
lift your head and blow at a bit of imaginary thistle
down, keeping the chin In the air abput-flve minutes,
supposing the thistledown to be first on one side of
you and then on the other. Try this before your glass
and see how It rounds out your neck and tightens the
muscles. This exercise is splendid for the parenthesis
lines at the side of the mouth as well as for beautify
ing the mouth Itself.
Massage and Bandages.
Massage Is an effective remedy for double chin. It
may be done by means of the thumbs, the palms of the
hands being placed upward, with the fingers at the
back of the neck. With a dec-, circular motion the
thumbs gradually pass backward over the whole of the
chin, while the first and second fingers of each hand
with the same circular motion work among the mus
cles at the base of the skulL
Another massagd movement for the chin is to gently
pinch the tissues and lift them up by the hands, the
fingers of both hands meeting in the middle of the
"chin, and then pressing and smoothing the flesh Back
ward as they separate one from the other. This treat
ment should be persevered in.
The chin can be reduced by using strips of rubber
diet is best As for external applications an evaporat
ing and cooling lotion such as a pint of .cool water in
which half an ounce of sodium bicarbonate has been
dissolved is soothing. A dusting powder may also be
used. ,

AFFLICTED ONE:
I do not believe in so-called
" charms " for removing warts. Here is a good for
mula: Twenty grains salicylic acid, one-eighth ounce
alcohol, one ounce flexible collodion. Mix and apply to
hard surface of wart for three nights, then soak in
hot water, when a layer of skin will come off. . Repeat
until the wart disappears.

means of massage and exercise.
In the case of a double chin prevention is much
eaBlc- than to cure. Tight collars always make ugly
rolls of fat under the chin and they should be reli
giously avoided.
Another double chin habit that women are guilty of,
often through Ignorance of the fact that their beauty
Is being marred through it. Is that of resting the
entire weight of their heads upon the Uttle under
thin, throwing the flesh forward until by habit It forms
a double chin that Is hard to get rid of. Go to your .
mirror at the first opportunity and place your head in
the position you do when reading and look at the
fiect. You will never read in that position again, I
am sure.

Learn to hold your chin up gracefully and easily. A
well proportioned neck Is a thing of great beauty. It
should not be too shoit, but should be well propor
tioned to support the head.- It should hot bs too fat or
too thin. The skin of the throat, neck, and chest
shows more aulckly than any other part of the body,
the lack of care. The pores of the neck become coarse,
pimples appear, and the& neck is reddened. This Is due
ofttimes to lack of careful bathing. .Tight collars are
extremely bad for the skin of the neck as weU 'or
the chln.
If the neck is short the exercise for reducing the
flesh -of the chin will also tend to lengthen the neck
a little. If it does not actually do that U Is food tor ,
the muscles and the distribution of the fat. ' If the
neck Is too fat massage will reduce the flesh. It will
remove the little mass of fat that many women accu
mulate at the nape of the neck.
It is not difficult to massage your own neck. Place
th fingers of one hand opposite to those of the other
so that spread out they meet in the middle, and then
in a movement in which the finger tips describe small
circles go carefully over the entire surface front and ,
back. ' U;iV;.''
Upon the ribs is a thick layer of muscles which are
attached along the length of the breastbone on acn
side. If these muscles are thin and flabby the neck
will be described accurately by the word scrawny, , Of
course, this flabby condition of the muscles is con.
cealed when the layer of fat always found to some ex
tent under the skin is sufficiently thick, Exrclsea ,
such as extending wide the arms or bringing the el
bows backward, trying to meet them In the middle of '.

At tne same time cold cream should be rubbed In , ,

is also a good one for use on the neck.;, The neck is,
different from the face in that there are seldom hair

Improve the neck stretch the head first to one fide as'
far as possible, first directly back and then twtsttng
the head at various angles. All of these movements
put the flabby muscles of this part on the stretch
and help to tone them up. ' '
