NEOK— LONG AND SHORT

Poets have often praised the beauty of their ladies' necks with similes of aesthetic worth. They have Teferred to that section of the anatomy whieii extends from shoulders t6 head as being swan-like, or like a column of ivory, or alabaster. It is as distasteful to a woman to have a neck like a girafEe as it is to have no neck at all. However, there is no reason to despair in either ease. The length of a neck, and the guality of its beauty can be controlied with the clothes you Wear, the care you give it, and your coiffure. The little imp of carelessness, which is always present in human beings, is responsible for 'more rough, wrinkied, and unsightly necks than nature originally intended. There can be no other ' reason for a woman to carefully make up her face, nourish it with eream, and then leave -her neck to stand on its own merits. There are few ruies in regard to the neck that should never be varied. Keep it as clean as your face and give it the same beauty treatments that your face receives. In fact, skin and tissue cream is even mOre essential to the skin on your neck than it is to your face, for wrinkles on the face are always preceded by wrinkles On the neck. Your neck is your age barometer. When yOu have made up your face, use make-up blendor on yOr neck so that^there 'will be no contrhSt or delinite line of distinction between the two. Make-up blender comes in shades to blend with any colour harmony that you might use in your powder, rouge and lipstick. • When it comes to the length of your neck, you know best whether it is too long then wear your hair correspondingly low on your neck. This Will make it seem much shorter and more graceful. ' A short neck can also be corrected to a certain extent with either the haireut or coiffure. This type should avoid bo'bs, if the hair is cUt, and should have the hairlino at the nape of the neck shaped so that it comes down to a point. Higher hairdresses will be found more becoming than they arh tt> the lady with a swan like neck likb Lily Pcns. (jlotlies, too, have a decided effect On necklines, and the ability to create a flattering foundatibn for a lovely face. Th t, woman with long, b&ny

neck should wear neckwear that is con'cealing, and, whenover possible, fluffy. Whereas the woman With a short neck can add long, graceful lines by adapting a loW, preferably pointed neckline. It must be renxembered that there is nothing more important in choosing clothes than the neckline. The colour might as well not be becoming to yoU, or it might as well make you look too fat or too thin, as to destroy the symmetry that should be in the neckline — the introduetion to your face. Necks, like ears, Should ncver be shown unless they are beautiful. They should always be perfeetly groomed, and ^he lady who fancies bobbed hair shold not neglect the frequent triinining of her neck. Unfortunately, you do not always face olher people as you do your mirror. Beauty should aever ha?* •. deflnito

line drawn between beginning and end. ' Face, neck, figure, hands, cqstume, accessories, and even shoes should al- . j Ways be a perfect blend, designed to 1 enhanee and reveal the true perSonality of the person. The stars who are dressed by the fin- j est designers in the world and made up ■ by the most talented make-up experts do not all have perfect necks, yet no | one is ever aware of the fact. The only difference between the superbly beautiful women that you see on the screen and yourself is that professional good taste has been uSed in their dress, coiffure, and cosmetics. If you will give your clothes and make-up habits a reasonable amount of tinie and consideration, yOu can be as charming and attrhctive in your own individuality as the glamorous beauties of the acrssiu * ' *
