"THE WOMAN WHaSE = CHIN:TS CARRIED WELL UP - GIVES THE IMPRESSION THAT HER NECK IS AT LEAST -AN- INCH: LONGER THAN ‘IT rs. a {ll-favored woman onco asked mo "What shall I do to make my neck beautiful?' I answered, "Be born with a beautiful neck." But that answer was filppant. It was even unkind. I have repented. little It 18 » most decided advantage to be born with a beautiful neck, as it is to be born with beautiful features, a benutiful figure or beautiful hair, Lt Is one of the compen- Sations of being overplump that the woman of too amplo lines has a beautiful throat and arms While the thin woman, whose leatures are well defined, not being blanket- ed by superfluous layers of flesh, and whose igure {s more elegant because not swathed adipose tissue, has, as a rulo, a scrawny neck and whip-like arms. The neck to be beautiful must be nefther too long nor too short, too fat nor too lean. It must be shapely; that ts, evenly developed, The skin must bo soft and white. How to roako it ao, especially if there ts given unpromising matorial at the beginning Tho length of the neck {s one of the fixed quantities of nature. One cannot change it, but we can learn tho loseon of illusion from the etage, and try to make it seem longer or shorter than it {s.

If she must adopt it, or thinks she must, she should wear her jewels or a band of ribbon about her neck to make her neck seem shorter. The drooping Madonna poise of the head may be becomingly affected by tho woman with the long neck, especially whon sitting for her photographs. Tho neck, I have beforo said, must be neither too fat nor too lean. To correct either too much or too little flesh upon tho neck wo must summon the ald of that l!leutenant to beauty, massage On the beautiful neck tho fiesh is evenly distributed. The neck should be, save for the two parallel lines about an inch apart which encircle the neck nd are seen on the necks even of babes, perfectly smooth If the flesh bo uneven, persistent, skillful and gentle masfage should redistribute the disproportionate bulk of flesh. There is always a possibility that the neck will be flat in front and display thick layers of fat at the aides and back.
