AS, for the cultivation OF wrinkles and
pinched. withered, screwed-up faces,
there are few things more effective than
sleeping in bad air
When it is necessary to sleep indoors.
don't fail to have at least one window
wide open. Tuck yourself warmly in
bed. screen yourself from drafts, and
all night long inhale the greatest of
all beautifiers.
1t is encouraging to hear from the
architects that they are being called
upon to design houses with open-air
dining rooms. and even with open log
gias for sleeping
At present almost all womanly activ-
tiles take place inr 9ors. Housekeeping,
in summer tilIse.t least, is made en-
tireiy too much OF an indoor function,
and the strictly domestic woman spends
too many hours in heated rooms. Sure
", If she realized the Importance of
filling her lungs with clean, fresh air
she could plan things differently. For
instance. possibly having the family
dinner outdoors entails too much trou-
BILE and labor. but surely a light lunch

con can be daintily and easily served
on the piazza or under a friendly tree
This. of course. applies mostly to
suburban homes, as the average city
dweller finds 1t more difficult to arrange
for living outdoors; but even a very
small piazza may be called into serv-
ice. il little time and thought are
given to making it attractive, and pri-
vacy may be secured by growing vines
or inexpensive screens.
When living outdoors comes to be re-
garded with the proper amount of i'm
portance, more sewing and reading will
be done under the trees. more cooking
in outdoor ovens and more outings for
the entire family planned as part of
its social life.
When women fully realize that over
strained nerves are expensive and dis
astrous to good looks and that plenty
of outdoor living summer and winter is
the best panacea for this evil, ] am sure
they u.:n devise plans for making out
door living comfortable and conven-
lent.
