your room loses it's spacious look.
In a small room, do not. try to use
big smashing designs. If you do you
will certainly feel as if the walls are
falling in on you. There is an ador-
able small figured cretonne or chintz
suitable for this. A favorite of mine
is the green or blue checked ging-

Thank you so much for your let.
ter about the zinnias. You do not
know how much l appreciate the
thought of your sending me the
seeds and the splendid instructions
you sent for their culture. Some
might say l could easily get these
from florist, but would not mean
the same by far to me when they
blossomed as if they came from the
garden of friend.

rub it into the roots of the hair.
and not to grease the hair. Then
once every two weeks, before the
day she would shampoo her head she
would rub it in thoroughly that
night, put a thick Turkish towel
over her pillow and wash her head
the next day. She thinks it helped
her hair a great deal

II. G. r.:
You know I think most boys feel
that all that is necessary for them
to do is to take nice pan of cold
water and give a gentle rinse to
the center of their face and the
job of cleanliness is done. AS a
matter of fact it is just as neces-
sary for them to have nice COM
pleXions as it is for girls.
Let me suggest this: Take a
soft towel, preferably a small Turk
ish towel, wiring it out in hot water
and place it over your face, just as
