10 Keep the Face

More important than the cosmetic
care of the complexion is its physical

youthful. there's nothing better than
common mercolized wax. 1t absorbs
the soiled or faded WORKOUT skin par
ticles. Cosmetics simply add unwhole-
someness to the complexion. That's
the difference. BY all means, acquire
the mercolized wax habit. It's so easy
to get an ounce Of tine wax at the
druggists, apply at night like cold
cream and wash 1t off next morning.
There's no detention indoors, the old
skin coming off so gradually no one
suspects you're using anything. When
in a week or two the alluringly
youthful, roselike underskin is fully
in view-well you won't want. or
need. a makeup complexion after
that. 1t must be apparent that this
process means complete radiance of

long to the room, and which will
constantly be in harmony with it.
If we study the Japanese. who are
such masters in the art of house,
hold arrangements and decoration.
We should find the utmost SIM
plicity with only a single vase and
one or two chairs In the whole
room. Still that vase would be SO
beautiful, It would be placed SO
correctly, and the flowers arranged
in 1t with such proportion, and the
whole thing be in such harmony
with the room that it alone would
be sufficient in the room.
So We, too, may take a lesson
from the japanese. and do away
with great many OF the useless
articles which crowd Cur homes. !
speak of this now, because summer
is almost with us, and II we want
to have comfortable warm season,
the first step for Us to take is to
DO away with as much busting and
cleaning as much as possible.
Second the profusion of objects in
a room does away with space and
GOODNESS and actually makes the
room hotter. Every extra cushion,
every extra hanging and every ad-
OluOnal piece OF Drlc-d-DraC makes
the room crowded warm and less
spacious.
So for sanitary reasons We sea
that ii would be well to lay away
as much as possible of the USE
less ornaments in our homes. Such
articles not only catch dust which
is unsanitary. not only cost US
work which we do not need to do,
but they actually make the rooms
warmer.
hear some woman gay she wants
these things to look az. But my
answer Is that she can lay them all
away, but one or two and bring out
new ones to look at from time to
time. II a woman must have these
things around ner house. then she
will have to pay the PENALTY which
is more work, and that is why
have so little sympathy, perhaps,
with the woman who writes asking
me how she can simplify her work,
when at the same time she sefuses
to follow suggestions which would
really make that work simpler.
