Few women realize how much cold wa- ter brisk rubbing beautify the skin of one's throat and neck. Even those who cannot stand the shock of an entire cold bath each morning would do well to accustom themselves to taking one to waist. If warm water is preferred, ish off with a dash of cold water. Rub iskly. The cold water and brisk rub- g make the flesh hard and firm, im- prove the texture of the skin and often have a wonderful effect in removing the blotchy appearance of the skin, which is such an affliction to a girl with an other- wise pretty neck Swan Throats. There is a variety of opinions about the beauty of a long neck. Its advocates in- sist that it gives grace and an aristocratic bearing, and that the decadence of necks since the time of Joshua Reynolds marks & falling off in feminine loveliness. Consuelo, Duchess of Marlborough, brought long necks, or “swan throats,” into fashionable favor in London, and when she first appeared in her famous pear] necklace of seven strings buttoned &t the back with seven big diamonds set on & band of gold exactly four and one- quarter inches long, every smart woman THE BEAUT OF THE BAcCK ©F THE NECK LHCREASSED BY T=i18 EXERC1ISH. in Mayfair longed to like it Making the head look very tall by the style of hat or mode of hairdressing, the throat apparently elongates re bly: a proper pa of head also adds to the fllusion; by these means, London women passed for long-throated beauties of the time of Romney or Reynolds. A lovely neck and shoulders should be left to speak r themselves. Oddly enough, women with really fine necks have the notion that by ornament or trinketry they rease, or at the least call attentlon to their beau T is a mistake. The gracious lines of the shoulders, and the sweep from the nape of the neck down the back are broken, and have their value utterly destroyed by a necklace. There are no more gracious curves in a woman’s body than those which start from the nape of the neck and a woman's skin is nowhere more delicate than be- tween and just above the shoulder blades. Under the sharp, shadowed bril- lance of artifictal light, the tint is like that of pear] white satin flushed with a faint, rosy glow. Sometimes it is like living marble In its fineness of grain and exquisite definition. Developing the Bust. The best treatment for women who de- sire to develop the bust is first as much rest as possible, ten hours’ sleep during the twenty-four, nourishing food, deep breathing, vocal culture, gymnastics, swimming, out-of-door exercises and a diet consisting of flesh-making foods. It is impossible to develop the bust if there is any stricture about the waist or chest, therefore the corset should be loose. Padding is fatal to the develop- ment of the bust. Massage is effective, Fnrticulnly in ognnecflon with the use of a lotion made of: DEVELOPINMG THE MUSCLES O THE RIGHT IoE OF THE MHECK have dissol tions for using: and hands in warm, soft then pour a s to feel dry, STRETCHING TOo &wow ThALL then rub soft- also good for an oily complexi: t soft and white in downward to the side, then up above the T'@ hegd again.
