GOOD LOOKS FOR
THE ELDERLY
Care of Hair and Skin Essential

q NE of my correspondents who has
~ passed her threesoore years Cd life
has written, asking me directions to i'm
proXe her skin, saying, -Notwithstand-
ing amy years, l wish 10 look as well
as can" This should be the desire
of everyone, regardless of age. One
ought > look as well as possible, not
because of vanity, but because il adds
much to his or her value as a member
of society. But the greater reason is
that the care for personal beauty in
wolves, as A general thing. an added
amount of health of body and mind.
Women as they grow older too often
become more and more negligent of
their appearance. Mothers with the in
creasing cares of a family are apt TO
pay so little attention to their person
that they are actually untidy. Some
often practice self-denial and spend
mon = on the children, but neglect to
elothe themselves becomingIy.
With hard work and lack of means it
becomes well-nigh heroic feat to keep
up decent appearances, yet ! have seen
il done; and the results of the effort

have paid in the increased courage OF
the mind in battling with adverse cir
cumstances, and in the effect it has on
the family.
Time wreaks itself upon the hair and
skin of woman. 1t IS a characteristic
of the hair of some families to turn gray
very early, even between twenty-five and
thirty-hve. The hair begins to show
silver threads as rule between thirty
FIVE and forty, and from then on to
gradually become more and more gray
about the temples and forehead, until
between forty-fve and fifty it is often
uniformly white, except at the back,
which does not turn completely white
for years.
Do Not Try to Restore Gray Hair
1t is a mistake for the elderly to dye
the hair. The tone of the complexion
will quarrel with any other tint of hair
than that which Nature furnishes, and
the result, III a majority of cases, is to
make the person who colors the hair
look much older. ! am often asked
about walnut juice, sage tea, or ordinary

Bedroom chairs should be comfort

and has the added advantage of making

rooms, upholsteries and pillow covers,

materials, as they are easily Numbered.
The bathroom fixtures should have
heavy nickel trimming, and there should
be an abundance of clean linen CON

THE ETIQUETTE OF
ENGAGEMENTS


man has f0ithyveG the prOpri6E1ies m ask
/ ing the cGnSeayt of the Young girl
/ father, or Uf tie; another, if the faRaer. is
not living FEs-,iS in accordance with

reconsideration Of the parents Of his
tsfancee- He Sha&td state in snalIy,
straightforward Nsay what are flas piss
/, s8t circumstances and what are Elss
s,u10spects of suPprCtlng wife.
We viii suppose li$lat the parents have
given their approval eOf the engagement.
| The next step to he considered IS the
announcing of the engagement. and NJ
this ,natter it is advisable that the event
should be made kSucsFn soon, even
though the marriage MAY be deferred
! for some time. althoggt it Is optional
whether an engagement IS announced
| soon after its occurrence or few
months .ur very shortly before the mar
rage. Circumstances TeQ4lre different
! decisions about these poiGts.. but, under
| all circumstances. a girl Should follow
! the Judgment and advice OF 1<er parents.
Announcing rk. Engagement
When the engagement is to be an
nounced, the proper thing IS for the
/ Young girl TO write brief, informal notes
TO her intimate friends, telling them the
news. Her mother writes TO older
| friends and 10 members of the family,
/ although it IS an attention much appre-
ciated by older persons if girl herself
takes the trouble and thought 10 write
TO them, instead of delegating the DIZZY
10 her mother.
In any case, there should be no faii-
urs on the part of one or the other &c
write to those who are supposed 10 be
interested in the event; they may be
deeply offended if forgotten. It is, OF
course, not the custom to write to mere

packing. They should then be wrapped
several times with newspapers.
The odor of printers ink is not agree
able to moths, and one can afford to be
generous with papers. Be. careful that
they are whole and that the openings
of one wrapping are covered by Ehe
next paper Be sure that no moths are
in the goods z0he,: packed. Before pack
ing furs, clean them by wiping with
soft cloth dipped in alcohol or cologne.
Varying the Wall Decorations
Changing pictures fr~m one room to
another gives a pleasing variety and
keeps the wall paper from becoming
faded In spots, Many persons like to
bric-a- brac, bringing out only few
pieces at a time and enjoying each piece
These who know say that a nlartei-
piece should be used either to hold
necessities, OF to display treasures. OBJ
viously in the first instance it is allow
able to crowd the shelf; but In the lat
ter case not more than three or four
choice pieces are proper.
The ideal bedroom has received much
attention lately Preference is given tC
walls tinted in water-colors or painted
in oils; picture 1nolding and pictures are
absent; fhe foor is bare, the riggs light
and easily handled; mating and the
heautifu5 rag-carpet rugs, shown in large
stores, are favOrites.
Drapcries are simple and washable
None but absolutely necessary furniture
is provided Windows have either Vene-
tan blinds, giving an agreeable light
and admitting the air while excluding
the sun, or Holland shades are placed
one on either sash, instead of single
one on the casing. They are never ex-
posed to wind or weather, and interfere
in no way with ventilation. The bed
stands well out into the room.
Use of Clesasers
Il seems ncedfui to say.l word about
cleansing agents. Liquids like gasoline
alcohol, ether and chlorciorm vaporize
almost instantly, and the vapor ignites
at once If a fame: is near. They should
ne1er be used near d fame, aizVdys in {

for money alone is to be charged with
the greatest atrocities ever perpetrated
in the name of household decoration.
The new home necessarily stands as
a skeleton which is to be clothed with
the vestments of our choosing; whether
they shall be grave or gay, artistic or
inartistic, lies wholly with the judicious
selection of the occupant.
1t is not a difficult thing to have
artistic homes, attractive interiors, pro-
vided we approach the problem in a
systematic way, with a well-dehned
plan and even a moderately filled purse.
The Importance of the walls
The first thing to be considered is
the walls of the room, for they furnish
the keynote for the color scheme of the
apartment This is natural because the
wall presents the largest surface; it is
the thing upon which the eye rests at
once upon entering the room. We may
be attracted later by some article, some
person, some thing, but first of all the
eye will rest upon the wall surface. The

tc take up the matter Of walls seriously.
upon many things, but most of all upon
the frontage, whether it be north or
south, east or west. Again, it depends
on the use of the room, whether it is
to be a living bedroom or a
nursery, or a combination Of all three.
The size of the room enters into the
equation, and finally, the nature and the
trim of the standing woodwork.

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 a soft, cool and rest
full appearance.
A room that is to be used for general
purposes must certainly have 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-brac and furniture
The woodwork Of a room naturally
must be included in the color scheme.
If the woodwork is natural pine var

would harmonic with it 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

Bare Floors
When carpets become worn and must
be renewed, K is a good time to change
to a bare foor and a few rugs. The
finishing of the floor is very simple
matter 1t may be painted, stained, oiled
or waxed In either case it should be
cleaned thoroughly, all stains removed
and given coat Of filler"
II the floor was not made for a car
pet, there will probably be cracks which
need filling Putty, colored like the
wood, is very satisfactory t0r this. If
the boards are knotty they should be
panied otherwise a transparent finish
may be used.
Stains made by paint OF Earnish are
easily removed with ammonia, but it
