GOOD LOOKS FOR
THE ELDERLY
Care of Hair and Skin Essential

ONE OF my correspondents who has
~ passed her threcscorc years OF lie
has written, asking me directions to i'm
prove her skin, saying, "Notwithstand-
ing my years, | wish to look as well
as | can" This should be the desire
OF everyone, regardless OF age. One
ought - look as we'll as possible, not
because of vanity but because it 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 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
creasng cares of a family are apt to
pay so little attention to their person
that they are actually untIdy, Some
often practice self-dcnial and spend
money on the children. but neglect to
clothe themselves bccomingly
With hard work and lack of means it
becomes well-niGh heroic feat to keep
up decent appearances, yet have seen

The Importance Of tho Walls
The first thing to be considered is
the walls OF the room, for they furnish
the keynote ior 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

the mind in battling with adverse cir

the family
Time wrcaks itself upon the hair and
skin OF woman. 1t is characteristic
OF the hair OF some families to turn gray
very early, even between twenty-five and
thirty-hvc 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-hve 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 mistake for the elderly to dye
the hair. The tone OF the complexion
will quarrel with any. other tint OF hair

THE ETIQUETTE OF
ENGAGEMENTS
Proper Fashion of Announcing the Event

MANY people who arc misinforncd
AVE about social customs, or who live
faY away from a repre- sentative center
nf society, seem TO be under the impress
sion that the announcement of an en-
gagemcnt is matter which demands
the assembling OF friends. who arc then
told OF the event by some member OF the
family OF the fair fancec. Nothing
could be further removed from correct
usage than this idea; nothing could. in
reality, he in worse taste than for a
mother or anyone 10 invite friends for
the purpose Of announcing an engage
ment and to tell the news in such z
manner in the presence OF the blushinp
bridc-cloct, while friends cXclam, OF
evinCc their surprise, or rush forward
10 offer congratulations or perhaps fec
embarrassed at being compelled TO say
with good grace what is expected OF
them
The imagination cannot conjure up
scene more distasteful than this would
be to anyone who possesses a sense o.
the fitness OF things. No, II is not the
correct custom to invite friends for any
such purpose, nor to make a young cir
a target for congratulations. There is
degree OF reserve and modcsty still eX
listing in modern manners.
The proper and dignihed way to an
nounce an engagement is very simple
It's very simplicity seems to make it dli
hcult to believe by those who fancy tina
etiquette must, OF necessity, be an I'm
usual or extraordinary thing, The trutl
is that etiquette is intended to faciltat
and to simplify life, not to complcate il

con sideration Of the parents Of his

cnt circumstances and what are his
prospects OF supporting a wife.
We will suppose that the parents have
given their approval of the engagement.

announcing OF the engagement and in
this matter it is advisable that the event

When the engagement is to be an
nounccd, the proper thing is for the
young girl to write brief, informal notes
to her intimate friends, telling them tho

friends and to members of the family
