good supply of the leafiet
still remains, and you may have a
copy if you send me 3-cent stamped,

Payment has never been asked for
any of the leaflets offered to readers

for the asking, and I am very glad
to send them to you.
Leaflets are mailed as promptly as
possible to those who ask for them.

sands of letters are handled every

be forwarded a long distance.
1t has been a pleasure to find that
boys and girls are patient about waiting
for their leaflets. They seem to un-
derstand the need for delay. If, how
ever. you should ever fail to receive
anything you have written for, should
like to have you let me know. Mis-

been returned to me because they did
not have the correct addresses. That

Bookkeeper's Double Chin.

~ EAR Miss Leeds-QD 1 am a
bookkeeper and am inclined
to keep my head down at my
IL work; I have a double chin.
What should 1 do? I am "a
years old and weigh los pounds. M. l..
Answer-Your type of work is apt
to be the means of developing double
chin and eye wrinkles if you are not
careful. Be sure to exercise the chin,
throat and neck muscles regularly.
Make it a habit to exercise for several
minutes every night and morning
During the day remember to raise the
head and twist it from left to right
upward and backward. Imagine that
you are looking for something over your
right and left shoulder; raise the chin
and let the head fall back as far as
possible on the back of the neck and
look upward toward the ceiling AT
bedtime massage the throat. chinline
and neck with cream, remove excess
cream, take a few deep breaths and
massage the chin and throat with your
finger tips, then slap the chinline with
the back of your hand gently. Rub with
ice or apply an astringent bandage for
half an hour or more.
While you are exercising the neck
and throat muscles you can exercise
the eyes and tiny muscles around them
at the same time Imagine yourself
standing in large hoop and allow your
eyes to follow its outline from the floor
around to left side, upward around to
right side and downward again. Several
times during the day close your eyes
and keep them closed while you count
20. Open them and instead of looking
down at your work look at some distant
object and at the light in the center
Of the room.
Count 20, then close them and repeat
the exercise. Do this five times. Next
focus the eyes on a. point as far distant
as possible, preferably green, like a
tree or landscape. and hold the eyes
there until you count about 20 men
tally Change the focus of the eye to
a point at arms length from the eye
Count 20. Then look at the distanv
point again. Repeat the exercise half
dozen times. focusing the eye first on
a distant point and then on the near
point, using the neck, throat and chin

New Collar for Summer Dress
BY MARY MARSHALL.

r ERES a new collar that will
give chic to one Of your SUM-
mer dresses at very small cost.
You NAV make it to match
the trimming Of one dress in
your wardrobe or you may make II 10
match a hat and wear 1t with any
one of several dresses as q substitute
for jacket or other wrap.
The collar consists Of strip OF
side-pleated silk and q band OF the
same silk used for the top OF the
pleating. and tie strings for the scarf.
For the pleating you viii need piece
of silk about l0-inches deep and long
enough to make strip OF pleatmg
times Is inches or rs inches. The
strip of silk for band and ends should
be IS inches plus 10 inches for each
tie ends inches long in all.
Cut the strip of silk 21z -inches wide
so that khen folded over lengthwise,
stitched IA inch from either side and
drawn right side out, you viii have a
hand inch wide. The two ends of
the strip should be stitched in this
way, drawn right side out and pressed.
The rs inches in the center should
be used as q band on which to mount
the pleating.
You NAV make scarf Of this sort
of plain -colored silk crepe to wear on
a figured dress or of dotted or otherwise
printed silk crepe to wear with plain
toned dress. To wear as very light
evening wrap or scarf you might make
the pleating of light toned chiffon,
mounting it on band of the same
chiffon or on ribbon or silk Of the
same or contrasting tone.
Two short ends and one long side
of the big piece should be FINISHED
! with a narrow, fiat hem or machine
picot and should then be taken to the
professional pleaters to be laid in
fairly wide side pleats.

Cancer of the Lip.

cially when the individual is much cX-

Some cases begin with a fever

over two weeks. Don't Worry If you
have such a cold sore or herpes
longer than two weeks-Just quit lncn-
keylng and consult vour physician.
A few cases seem TO develop Upon
some simple injury or the bite of an

The best safety precaution for the
general public is to seek proper medi-

THE Importance of simplicity of
line is stressed by modernistic
decorators. 1t is part of their code
4 of art, and part which every
home decorator should realize
as significant whether she is an ad-
vocate of modernistic art or not. 1t
is true that this is not exclusive to
modernists. nor a novelty. 1t has
always been a prime consideration in
good decoration That it was Sighted
in the Victorian era, when over
elaboration had its hey-day, merely
reflected to the discredit of that period.
William Morris was an artist who was
also a craftsman, and he did more
than any other person to defect dec
oration from this inartistic trend.
While his style of furniture was not
modernistic, but developed into what
is known as craftsman decoration, it
had this in common that it featured
straight lines.
In the determination to secure SIM
plicity of line .modernistic furniture,
lighting fixtures, designs for wall paper,
textiles, etc., are angular The meeting
of straight lines results in right, acute,
or obtuse angles, giving sharpness to
effects which is not always pleasing to

SIMPLICITY

ernism And so conservative decor
ators are apt to take exception to the
idea of simplicity of line being re-
stricted to straight lines to the exclu-
sion of curves, which are lines of
grace as well as simplicity and beauty.
There can be no doubt that primi-
tive furniture was built on straight
lines, as instanced in ancient chests,
reputed to be the earliest form of fur
niture other than benches. But in an
amazingly short time, curves were in
troduced, following the lines found in
nature. Both were and are simple
lines.
1t is quite within the province of
decorators to include curves as well
as straight lines and sharp angles in
their Interpretation of simplicity of
line in these modern times. The mod
ernists, having focused attention on
simplicity of line, have done an ao-
mirable thing. 1t remains for decora-
tors to stress this idea in home IN
teriors, whether they have them mod
ernistic and angular in furniture and
furnishings, or whether the simplicity
which ensues includes lines of grace
as found in curves.
