CULT OF BEAUTY.

THE NECK PROBLEM. AN ACTRESS* TIP. (By A SPECIALIST.) The following method, painstakingly adhered to every night for three months, will develop a scraggy neck into a column worth one's possession. Open the pores of the neck with water as hot as you can stand, applied with a cloth. Then soak the hands and_ wash the neck thoroughly, rinse well in hot water. Apply coco butter or good skin food. Begin at the base of the neck, just at the back of the ear, and pat up to the hair line. Again commence at the base of the neck, forward of the ear, and pat up and out. Continue this treatment all over the neck for ten or fifteen minutes. One should count, and concentrate on the part under consideration. Since the beginning of Bible history the number seven (and its multiples) has been looked upon as lucky. Try it. Also while you are working on your neck visualise it as you would like to have it. "As a man thinketh in his heart, ro is he," is no less true to-day that it was in Solomon's time.

until every bit of skin has received its share of the beautifying lotion. It should be permitted to dry on the skin, and at the end of two hours it must be bathed off with tepid water and a small quantity of cold cream must be massaged into the face. Repeat the treatment several times. • The Arms. The woman who appreciates tho value of a good figure and a grace ftii carriage of the arms should exercise much. Moving the arms in a wide circle from the shoulders will soon bring to the shoulders a suppleness probably unknown before. Test yourself in the suppleness of your arms and. shoulders by trying to touch the backs of your hands together behind you. If they refuse to meet, exercise daily until they do. For elbows that are inclined to be red and rough the nightly use of equal parts of spirit of camphor and glycerine will be found very beneficial. The glycerine has a smoothing and softening effect, and the camphor counteracts redness. Very few women realise that rest is one of the greatest aids to beauty. Rest, properly taken, and in the proper amount, is an essential factor in physical and mental welfare. It is no good driving the body to exercises when what the nerves and muscles and heart are rcilly crying out for is rest and an opportunity to recover completely from labour-induced fatigue.
