GOOD LOOKS FOR
THE ELDERLY
Care of Hair and Skin Essential

n NE Of my correspondents who has
~ passed her threescore years of life
has written, asking me directions to i'm
prove her skin, saying, "Notwithstand-
ing my years, ! wish 20 look as we'll
as can" This should be the desire
Of everyone. Tsgardless Of age One
ought = look IS well as possible, not
because Of vanity. but because il adds
much to his o. her value as a member
Of society Bat the greater reason IS
that the care for personal beauty in
wolves, as a general thing. an added
amount Of health 81 body and mind
Women as they groa older too often
become more and more negligent of
their appearance Mothers with the in
crcasing cares Of a family are apt 10
pay 50 little attention 20 their person
that they are actually untldY. Some
often practice self-dcnial and spend
money on the children, but neglect 20
ciothe themselves becoiuingly
With hard work and iack of means il
becomes well-uigh a heroic feat 10 keep

create an impression of sunshine. that
seem to bring a ray of additional light
and warmth into the room. South and
west rooms require modified colors-
colors that will tone down the glaring
sunlight and give soft, cool and rest
ful appearance
A room that is to be used for general
purposes must certainly have d color
that suits all purposes, a color that has
general utility and Is of solid matt
surface, that is not easily soiled. yet is
sufficiently dainty in tone to reflect light
and still furnish a suitable background
for pictures, bric-a-hrae and furniture
The woodwork Of a room naturally
must be included in the color scheme.
If the woodwork is natural pine var
nished, a yellow wall could not be toll
Grated. but soft brown or light tan
would harmonic with il delightfully."-
Enameled white woodwork calls for
blues, tans, light greens and dainty wall
colors. Mahogany calls for the deeper
greens, rich browns, and so on down
the chromatic scale.

THE ETIQUETTE OF
ENGAGEMENTS
Proper Fashion of Announcing the Event

MANY people who are nIisinformed
AVA about social customs, or who live
far away from a representative center
of society, seem to be under the impress
sion that the announcement of an en-
gapenent is a matter which demands
the assembling of friends, who are then
told Of the event by some member of the
family of the fair fancee. Nothing
could be further removed from correct
usage than this idea; nothing could, IN
reality, be in worse taste than for a
mother or anyone to invite friends Tor
the purpose of announcing an engage
