NECK EXERCISES.

Don't negiect your neck. This is very sound advice and a reminder that most women badly need. For no matter how freSh and youthful-looking you may keep your face, if you allow your neck to become "stringy" you will certainly add 10, if not more, years to your apparent age. A scraggy neck, with loose sagging skin around the jaws, proves that the muscles of the throat and those which control the sides of the mouth arid chin have lost their elasticity. A good astringent should be used to tone up the skm and exercises will assist in stimulating the muscles, Spirits of camphor, mixed with hair its quantitv of rosewfttor, will be found an excellent astringent. This lihould bo dabbed on night and morning and the two following exercises practised for from five to ten minutes every morning:— Stand erect, clench the teeth, then bending the head, as if bowing to someone, turn it, with a sweeping movement, first to the right, then to the left. Hold the head up, pout the lips as if about to whistle, then take a deep breath and expel the air through the month. Do not inflate the cheeks. Place the left hand at the back of the neck and press the chin downwards while practising this exercise.
