THIN SHOULDERS

BENEFICIAL TREATMENT. To put a little extra flesh on some particular spot is not as easy as io take it off, but it can be done. If your shoulders are too thin the “lino” will be sharp and angular, and the collar bones too prominent for beauty, even in these days of slim figures. “To put a little fle-sh on the shoulders and fill out the hollows at the base of the neck mix together equal parts of pure olive oil and oil of sweet almonds. Sponge the skin with very hot water, then dry lightly and apply the oil, which should be slightly warmed by placing the bottle in a bowl of hot water.

Massage the oil into the skin with the tips of the. fingers, pinching and kneading it very gently, so as to stimulate the circulation without bruising the skin. The massage must be kept up for at least ten minutes if it is to be effective, and should be given every night till Ihe amount of extra llesh required has been obtained. This may take from six weeks to three months, according lo the slate of Ihe general health. Those who are in poor health and “nervy” will naturally lake longer to “fill out” than one in good condition generally. A glass of warm milk should lie sipped very slowly the last thing at night and another taken about Ji in the morning.
