OST of us have heard the ox- Pression, “a comfortable dou- ble chin,” but we've always heard it applied to another woman, No woman was ever yet heard to de- clare that her own double chin was a source of comfort. That it is never regarded as anything other than a calamity is proven by the fact that as soon as it appears people who care anything about their personal appear- ance immediately set about ridding themselves of it. | One simple exerciae consists in thrusting the head forward, not up- ward, but straight out, an increasing number of times every day. This fills out the muscle and reduces fat. In most cases this will keep a double chin at bay for a long time, but there are other things to be attended to, The skin should be bathed, rubbing gently downward, with an astringent. Lemon Juice, toilet vinegar, lavender cologne and also alcohol are all astrin- gent, and the first-clas® manufac- turers of toilet articles put up cosmetics especially intefded to reduce abnormal chins. A many women have a habit of doubling their chins into their necks when they read or sew. This tends to double the chin and also to occasion an ugly crease up into the sides of the cheek. Others have side teeth drawn, and this leaves hollows in the cheek, which increase as the jaws contract and adds to the depth of line extending up into the cheek and lends emphasis to the double chin. Teeth should never be extracted if it is possible to avoid it, and if people only exercised a little care they ‘would never be required to lose their teeth. Teeth are necessary to good cheek and chin outlines, Besides the exercise and astringent lotiong the chin may be massaged downward with electric rubber vibrator, which tones up the muscle, skin and tissue and reduces fat if used frequently enough. Massage with hand, in a rotary motion, beginning at the tp of the chin and sides of the cheek and working downward, will also help to prevent and reduce chins and keep portion of the throat youthful and well formed.
