It the skin on the neck is at all wrinkled the following simple treatment will do much to remedy the condition, Place a tablespoonful of landline in an enamelled dish and allow it to liquefy over a low heat. By heating the cream into a liquid condition thus becomes more easily absorbed by the skin. Care should be taken to see that the cream is not made too hot.
Spread the melted landline generously over the neck, throat, and this time allow the hands to work upwards and outwards towards the ears. In this movement the hands will run along beneath the jawbone.
Keep moving the starting place of the hands by a few inches until the whole of the skin area of the neck and throat has been covered with massage and cream. As the cream becomes absorbed by the skin further applications should be made.
Night Treatment 1f the skin is particularly dry and lined it will require a very nourishing treatment, and this is best given in the following manner.
Procure two one-yard lengths of four-inch wide bandage gauze and soak it in the following skin food add together one tablespoonful each of landline and olive oil, place together in an enamelled dish and liquefy over heat. Mix together and then soak one of the pieces of gauze in the liquefied cream.
Wrap it well around the neck and then wrap the other piece of bandage around it, and finally off to bed. This treatment will allow the skin to absorb the maximum amount of nourishment. In the morning, when the bandage is removed, wash the neck well with soap and water until all traces of the oil have been removed, The above treatment can be carried out as frequently as desired. k For Bleaching The summer sun often gives a dirty, muddy-looking neck which spoils one's appearance for many future months. An excellent bleaching pack can be made by mixing together almond meal and almond oil until you have a thin paste. Place a tablespoonful of the meal in a saucer and add the oil until the paste is of the right consistency. Spread this over the neck and allow to remain on the skin for 20 minutes.
Remove it from the skin with pads of cotton wool which have been soaked in warm water.
Dry the neck lightly with a soft towel and then dab with witch-hazel and allow it to remain on This lotion can be used during the day as well if desired as it not onl; acts as a liquid powder a slight ble If this treaty Enter a lovely idea—a very flowered chiffon coat over taffeta.

Luise Rainer Comes to Town It is not often that a film star comes from Hollywood to appear upon the London stage. It must be rarer still that a Hollywood film star has a dressing-room in a London theatre specially decorated to suit her own whim. But Luise Rainer will be making her first West-End stage appearance soon, in "Behold the Bride," a play by Jacques Deval, who wrote "Tovarich." What is more, she has asked that her dressing-room at the Shaftesbury Theatre shall be decorated in a buff colour with the woodwork painted green, and this is being done.
All of which sounds as though the popular star.of "The Good Earth" is a specially pampered guest in London. It is true that Miss Rainer's introduction to the London stage is to be made one of the special nights of the London season; that one hears she is to receive £750 a week for acting in a light comedy. But, in any case, the Shaftesbury Theatre was to be redecorated for its next show, though it was a nice act of courtesy to consult Miss Rainer's taste on interior decoration. they are asking themselves. They believe they can.
Indeed, the bustle, generally in a modified form, has been introduced to the midsummer dress collections. In these we see frocks which hang plain in front and are gathered into a soft fulness behind. Alix uses pannier-like drapery to give the bustle effect, or the "pouffeé" line, as Paris names the coming vogue. Mme Schiaparelli creates beautiful dresses with two ribbon loops at the back in bustle form and fulness flowing away below from the knees downwards.
All the soft silk afternoon frocks show the same trend. They may not have actual puffs of fabric, but they are shirred and skirts are drawn below the belt at.the back, leaving the front almost straight. The new line means a change of fabric. There must be body in the bustle fabric and so stiff satins and taffetas are reappearing for evening wear. One can have soft dresses, of course, but in this case broad ribbons of velvet or silk will supply the bustle effect.
