Window Shade Charm

any plant unless artificial means are used to keep it's pores open. The leaves, therefore, should be gone over every morning with a damp cloth.
 Authorities disagree concerning the watering of window box plants. So it becomes a matter of individ- ual plant. A thirsty one should be watered every morning and before the sunshine has a chance to strike it. Watering your plants while the sunshine is strong is certain destruction.
 The window box should be built with two bottoms, one lower than the other and the outer bottom preferably of tin or other metal. When the plant is watered, the earth will absorb as much water as required. allowing the surplus to pass off into the lower trough. The first bottom should be perforated so that this excess water can pass through it.
 Paint your window boxes a vivid color, but keep them in harmony with the house. A stucco house recently seen had window boxes of vivid orange and blue stripes with daisies growing from this fascinat- ing foundation. A Colonial house is best decorated with window boxes of white or green, and geraniums or other greens planted in the soil.

My Secrets of Charm
By Josephine HuddIeston.
(Famous Model.)

THE manner in which one
 carries ones body when
 A walking or standing has 8 tremendous effect upon one's men tai attitude and happiness.
 The "slouches," lunches" and "slinks" sponsored by fashion dur ing the last few years have made many women forget that the body is something more than a rack upon which to hang the newest creations in frocks, suits, coats and furs.
 The body is a finely constructed house in which our souls dwell although nowadays one hardly dares admit owning a soul. It should be given every care and consideration. When the body is twisted into weird shapes it can not properly function; so it's owner is cheated of the full benefits that should be derived from it.
 When walking or standing, one should hold oneself erect-proudly. Have you not heard numerous persons say: "That man or woman slouches along with his eyes to the ground all the time"
 That unconscious act of looking downward, instead of upward con trols, subconsciously, all of one's actions and mental activities. The correct standing position can be found very easily. Stand with the feet about fifteen inches apart. Then allow the entire body to slump SO that the shoulders where the arms fit into the sockets-are in a perpendicular line with the hips. The weight of the body should be on the heels. The arms should hang completely relaxed. Next, very slowly, come forward on the balls of the feet; raise the chest upward (do not stick it out) and push the hips backward. These three things
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-20

should be done simultaneously. If done properly one should then be able to rise upon one's toes, extend ones arms and go back to the balls of the feet without losing the balance.
 At first it will seem that the chest is up under the chin and that the hips are trailing along at a far distance in the back. This, however, is only because of the complete change in the posture of the body.
 } To attain perfect freedom and naturalness with this correct standing position, one should treat it as an exercise and go through it ten or fifteen times each morning and evening. Within a few days you will have accustomed the body SO much to this position that to revert to the old posture will bring discomfort.
 The body should be carried in the same manner when walking.
 remember distinctly when learned to stand and walk cor rectly. A very charming English woman, whom am happy to know personally, teaches what she calls "The Development of Personality" She has an international reputa- tion and is responsible for much of the grace and charm of our de- butantes and feminine nobility. We happened to live in adjoining houses and frequently met in the community garden between. One day she very unceremoniously yanked me into her house, ex- claiming:
 'I'm tired of seeing you mas querade as professional beauty when you don't even know how to carry that very lovely body of yours. You are not going to leave this studio until you learn how to stand, sit and walk cor rectly."
 Then she made me go through the exercise I have just given you. She also taught me the value of walking rhythmically.
 When you have mastered the correct standing position and begin walking in the correct manner, walk in tempo: One-two-three- four, one-two-three-four, etc. Take a step to each beat. If you have a

Decorating the Summer Home

TAKE down the curtains, re-
 move every trace of unnec-
 essary trimming that you wish, but do not destroy the color charm of the bedroom.
 Most women realize that the bedroom requires more cleaning during the Summer months than at any other season, not only be- cause the windows are kept open night and day but dust and grime cling more tenaciously, due to the humidity.
 When your walls are covered in a restful pattern of washable fab ric you will find the problem of cleaning decidedly frightened. Then, the matter of laundry is to be con sidered. The heavy trimmings such as bedspreads, window dra- peries, bureau scarfs and rugs can be replaced by decorations which are easily cleaned. If your win dows really require curtains, use plain dotted swiss, marquiSette or some cotton fabric which can be washed. Plain, checked or blocked inen is splendid for a short valance at the window top if you prefer a little color here. Care should be exercised, however, to prevent the appearance of heavy drapery, which is not in good taste during the warm-weather sason. Make the valance of light color and design it but a few inches in width.
 A bedspread of linen to match the valance and bureau scarf com pletes charming Summer set for the bedroom. Simplicity can be expressed in any number of ways, depending upon individual taste.
 If all traces of trimming are re- moved, the room will appear cold, bare and unrestful. For this req son the better plan is to substitute more refreshing colors and fab rics in place of the Winter draper ies which are apt to be of silk.

soon. Do you wonder that I've tasted the bitterness of unhappi- ness when I've loved you in silence for so long?"
 fThen there is only one solu- tion," he concluded, smoothing her hand tenderly. '"We must go away. We must give up everything near and dear to us because of our love for each other. It will be the supreme test of our love's strength"
 He escorted her into the hall way of the tenement and struck a match so that she might find the old stairway which led to the up- stairs flat, where her mother would be waiting for her. Preston walked up the street. He quickened his pace after he had dismissed the cab and tried to clear his thoughts.
 Meanwhile, Kitty confronted her mother.
 Ana where nave you been z" Mrs. Martin demanded as she eyed the girl with scrutiny as anaiyt- ical as it was sharp.
 "We went to a studio party" Kitty said. "Then we stopped at MT. Preston's studio for coffee"
 "Was there need of that, Kitty?" her mother sternly demanded as the girl approached her.
 T didn't think so. But MT. Preston thought it best. Do let me be honest, Nom. I had drink "a cocktail-and it made me dizzy. That's why MT. Preston suggested stopping at the studio to make some coffee before taking me home."
 She regarded her mother shyly until the shame of her own stern ness overcame Mrs. Martin.
 "Shure, you're a sweet darlin' for tellin' the truth, Kitty. And MT. Preston-well, he's one of the finest gentlemen I've ever met"

Cucumber Lotion

no not discard the parings of O that luscious Summer vege- table-the cucumber. There is a layer of mineral which lies just be- low the skin Of this green vege- table which is beneficial and re- freshing to the complexion.
 Cut the cucumber skins in long strips, put them in a little cold water and let them slowly simmer. Drain off the liquid when the skins have been reduced to a pulp. Cool this liquid and to it add a few drops of eau de cologne. The To- tion is splendid for refining the skin and is best applied after the face has been washed. Dip a swab of cotton into the lotion and go over the complexion, allowing the liquid to dry. The skin will be soft and smooth and just right to re- ceive a thin layer of powder. This liquid is also splendid for sunburn and freckles, as it has a soothing quality which bleaches at the same time.

Quaint Charm
 of Pictures

TUYITH the advent of the plain
 W wall, we discarded our
 " pictures and decorated the walls with tapestries, sconces and other period decorations. Now, however, we are beginning to realize the quaint, homelike charm of nicely framed pictures, and this form of wall decoration is again returning to style.
 Perhaps it was because of the inartistic pictures which held sway for so many generations that mod ern decorators discarded them en- tirely. We have come to an un- derstanding of values through the medium of modern decoration, and the picture is again among the home accessories.
 Many exquisite prints have been prepared and appropriately framed. There is, for example, a colored landscape, showing verdure in abundance and few trees ac- cented. This scene is not an un- usual one, but the true beauty of the picture is brought out by the frame, which is of verdure green and tree brown.
 Colonial prints are much in de- mand just now. There are so many charming subjects that one is almost at a loss to know which to select. Perhaps the safest guide is to choose a color print which has tints that harmonize with the other decorative bits of the room. A bedroom decorated in pink and white would be made more inter esting if an appropriate print was selected, showing tints of rose, blue or green. Usually the rag carpet or the book shelves of a Colonial interior scene will afford this color charm. The oval frame is splendid for the Colonial print and should be carefully selected with regard to width. If the pie ture is large, choose broad frame.

TTHE city home is frightened
 during Summer by the ap-
 pearance of little verdure. Perhaps the real charm belongs to the occupant of the room at the window of which few flowers lend the appearance of a garden. The exterior of any house is frightened and made lovely when the window boxes are filled with cheering flowers.
 But what shall we choose for the window box? Geraniums are most popular. Their fluffy red or pink flowers are so brilliant they add the necessary touch to banish gloom. Much, however, depends upon the sturdiness of the original plant, if you wish your flowers to continue in bloom throughout the season.
 The grime of city street will destroy the breathing organism of
