(The New York Uvening World) Further Treatment of the Faded Neck. : my last article I told my readers how to treat the faded neck after iy exercising the muscles, and to-day | shall tell how to complete the treatment, you After removing all traces of the cold cream, wash the neck with warm water and pure soap lather and then rinse it in very hot water until it fs quite red. Then, follow this by sponging with very cold water for at least five minutes, Dry by patting with a soft Turkish towel, but do not rub ‘or pull the skin, which only further | stretches {t. After this you may apply cold alum solu- tion on a piece of absorbent cotton, allowing it to dry in, or bind it on with a bandage of gauze. Alum'solution is made from two tablespoonfuls of powdered alum and one pint of hot water, allowed to stand over night and | then strained, when it is ready for use. It {s a valuable astringent, hard- | ening and tightening to soft, flabby skin. | The head-lifting and dropping exercise, recently described, should de practised twenty-five times at intervals during the,day, by readers wao «an master it without discomfort, and after trying it out five, ten, fifteen and twenty times for about two weeks, after starting the movement. Head-twisting from side to side should be practised while sitting in front of your mirror, so that you may watch and contro! the movements and do them evenly and with exactness. Haste in the neck or any other | exercises will not bring the proper and desired results. These may be advantageously combined with the head lifting and dropping exercise previously described. Still another movement for the head which greatly helps eliminate double chin and stringy neck is to bend the head far over, first to the right and then to the left shoulder, while assuming the upright position. This movement, like the first one described, may cause strain and.a disagreeable feeling in the muscies under the ears, and should it do so, discontinue it| until you can perform it with ease, \ Hold the head high and chin well up at all times, so that you may be| Dermitted to breathe properly, and this will not only prevent but gradually | help overcome double chin.

Mer Juergens's desk Was over by the window in one corner of the room, Tt was a long office, richly furnished and carpeted, People said of him that he made his office long with a pur- pose, so that those who came to gee night have to walk its entire length under the — disconcerting serutiny of his gray eyes, Whether I could have survived that passage I do not know. It was not necessary, At the sound of my name he stood up and started toward me, holding out his hand, “'Lo, George,” he sald heartily, ow's everything in Merwin?” “Very good, thank you, Mr, Juer- gens,” I replied; and I could ‘have hugged him as ‘I said it, This was the first familiar face I had seen in New York, the first friendly greeting, I felt like the travellers T had read about, who stand on the deck v their ships returning from a forelg: land and see the “Stars and Stripes” waving over the harbor. My boyish heart went out to that big, smiling man, He had not forgotten me; be was my friend. There was nothing he could have asked that I would not have done for him gladly at that mo- ment. Surely no guile could live bee hind a smile and a voice like that, “Want a Job, do y'u?" he continued, “Decided 1 was right, eh? Well, I told y'u Mer Juergens’ never forgets, Have to fix y'u up some way." He touched a button on his desk, and I heard @ buzzer sound in the outer office, A trim looking young woman appeared at the door, “Send for Mr. Small,” said Mer Juergens, A moment later a thin ttle man, in a black office coat, presented him- self. He had a pen’ behind his ear, and was growing bald. He entered ‘the presance of Jugrmens with @ ad « whether good or evil w interview, gens exploded, “Shake orge Groton, Young friend old home town, Merwin, arn business.
