GRORGE PLATT LYNES O LEARN the secret of keeping I the profile young, actresses and wealthy women cheerfully write out checks in four figures to those contour-experts who are skilled in the strategy of outwitting age. Such tactics have to be used, be- cause the older we grow, the more difficult do gravity’s tugs on the muacles and Time’s thrusts on the Aesh make it for us to hold to the line. But what these wealthy women — with a reputation for youth and beauty to defend — do, with the aid of ex- perts, is something that you can do on your very own. Here is the three-step procedure. First, good posture. Any neck car- ried high gives a youthful effect, no matter what the vital statistics say. So, watch out for a turtle-neck posture that nullifies the appearance of youth. of a collar and a chin at a sharp right angle to it, is to keep yourself men- tally aware of good posture. All you have to do, to keep a neck out WATCH THAT THROATLINE With a beautiful neck you can hold your head up in more ways than one Second, keep your skin supple and soft by the daily use of an emollient. Skin, like fine leather, stays flexible and resistant to wrinkles as long as you'll take the trouble to keep it oiled. Moreover, certain creams can be absorbed by the skin, thus giving you more than surface protection against dryness, tautness, or lines. ‘Third, make every day moving day for neck muscles. A lazy lack of move- ment is what contracts that young, fluid line from collar-bone to chin, causes cushions of flesh to sag, and makes creases or pleats in the skin. But worse than no esercise at all is the wrong kind that jerks or strains muscles — or even theright kind of exercise that you take up with seal and drop, as interest wanes. What heppens when you are a light o’ love about exercise is that you loosen and lengthen mus- cles and then abandon them. So, here is a series of the right kind of exercises to be taken in the right kind of way. Do them nightly. — e DD | CC—— 1.

BUSY JAWS: Raise chin, jut out lower jaw, and then shut- tle jaw forward and back, as though it were an automatic trap. Make lower teeth pro- trude beyond the uppers so as to work the chin muscles. 5. FINIS:Now, tissue off cream, apply an astringent, and put on make-up.
