Some parts of your body you can mneglect, but the chin is not one of them. If you let your nails go for a week, one good manicure will make them almost as nice as ever, But a week’s neglect of the chin, if you are over thirty and the firmness of the chin line is going, will do weeks and weeks of harm. For ordinary treatments, ice and massage and astringents will do. For a really neglected chin, straps may he necessary. These are a nuisonce, yet they are so valuable, that 1 must advise them for women of, say, 40 or more, or for women of any age who have gotten fat and are losing their chin lines because of too much flesh.

You can get the same sort of thing in elastic webbing. Some say the smooth rubber is best as it makes the skin perspire and there- fore perspire off superfluous flesh. Some claim the elastic webbing is best because it has friction to it, which wears off unwanted fat. 1 don't think there is much in it: a chin strap is like a crutch to a lame leg. Use it because for eight hours while you sleep it holds in the chin muscles. Meantime use massage and astrin- gents to make those muscles strong enough. You can make a chin strap yourselt it you want. It requires only a long strip of old muslin—strips of sheets are fine.

And that is some job. To begin with, she is tryving to change the ideal of feminine pulchritude that has obtained since the heginning of time.

Twenty yvears ago the scrawny, hob-haired, painted-up little flapper of today would have been considered a caricature. ' We should have laughed at her and wondered why any girl would be willing to disfigure herselt that way. But we are being taught to accept her as belonging to the impression- istic school of art, and perhaps we shall even come some day to admiring her when our education has progressed a little farther 3 o e e [*HI2 modern girl is doing her utmost to wipe out the sex line. She has achieved an outward trinmph to the extent that you can only tell a girl and a boy apart a first sight by the fact that the boy has two legs to his trousers. while the girl generally has only one. Also, that the giri's trouser leg is cut off above her knees, while the hoy’s comes down to the ground. But the ideal of every zirl is to look as much like a hoy as possible. She a bovish bob. She shaves the back of her neck. She strives to attain a boyish figure. She smok like a boy and drinks out of a flask with the boys, and the highest compliment you e v her is to say that she plays golf like a man, or has a virile style in writing. § ha It used (o he thought that what attracted men to women was the essen tially feminine qualities—that men liked women who were gentle and sweet in manner, who were ruffly and lacy and frou-frou as to clothes and who had dainty, little, soft hands. Perhaps the reason of the decline in matrimony is hecause men have not yet been educated up to the point where they see anything alluring in a girl who looks Jike an understudy of their little brother, nor do they find any particular thrill in holding a big, muscular hand that has corns on it from playing golf.

Time was when we boasted of the purity and innocence of a young girl. We made her ignorance of the world a merit and we com pared her to a lily, or a rose with the dew upon it. And we spoke of women's tenderness and their sympathy and their patience and steadfastness. .. _ The modern voung girl prides herself on being hard-boiled. She is a wise Jane that nobody can take in with any tale of sorrew or suffering, and she hasn't a tear in her whole system. Her heart is just a useful blood pump, not a fountain overflowing with pity for the woes of the troubled and afflieted. She has not eliminated tove and marriage and home as yet, hecause they are all interesting experiences, and she docsn't want to miss anything, hut she has made love an experiment, marriage a temporary cxpedient and home a transient hotel where you check out if you don't like the service or the company. For the modern girl's philosophy is that we get out of life only what we grab off, and it remains to be seen whether she will get more than those older women who, perhaps, had more heart than head, who loved greatly. who had the sacred gift of tears, and who were invincible just through their gentle- ness and softness and womanliness, The modern girl is exploiting a new code of conduct for women. Why should men have a monopoly on the sowing of wild oats, she asks? What is the justice in a double standard of morals? Why should a girl keep herself pure in order to marry a man who has perhaps a hectic past? ’ And %o she snaps her fingers in Mra, Grundy's face and goes on wild parties and justiies her escapades by saying that men have always done that And one wonders if men will accept this new code, it they demand that the girls they marr o themselves will be hap) to live up to.
