THERE ARE NO DOUBLE CHINS’ BUT THERE IS CHIN FULLNESS. . (By a Beauty Expert). What is generally referred to as “double chin” is really chin fullness.' There is no such thing as a double chin. A person possessing such a handicap would . immediately become an international freak. Chin fullness is not such a dreadful thing as is often imagined, because it can be made to disappear as mysteriously as it came, by careful and regular physical movements. And this without causing the throat to become too thick. Where the fullness is only just forming, a good exercise is to stand erect, with the head thrown back, open the mouth wide, and shut it again as though ' chewing something. Do this twelve times each night. It will keep the cords of the neck in a healthy, normal state, draw, the flesh from the chin, and cure the flabby neck which some women get after thirty. If it has already gained a hold, the throat and chin may be improved by massage, provided the glands are not swollen and tender. Wash the neck well with hot water and soap, then lubricate the hands with benzoated lard or benzoated cold cream. Now throwback the head, grasp the right side of the chin and jawbone with the left hand and bring the hand firmly down to the base of the throat. Then place the right hand on the left side of the face and repeat the movement, using left and right hands in quick succession for a minute or two.

After the massage, a good five-minute exercise is to hold the head erect, keep the body quite still, thrust the chin outwards and downwards, and move it back again. If done correctly, the movement will be felt just where the shoulder begins. Where the trouble is of long standins' or in very severe eases, the best exercise is to stand erect, place the palm of the hand on the forehead, and gradually lower the chin towards the chest, holding ’back the head with the hand. From this position, push the hand backward, resisting with the head. In doing this five-minute exercise you will observe, if you place the othei hand on the front'of the neck, a tightening of the muscles due to this resistance. When’the muscles are braced up sufficiently there will be no flabby chin.

Do not resist too much, of course, especially at first. And do not become over enthusiastic and continue the exercise too long. '*
