Fair skin and perfect features
are desirable indeed, but they
may be merely ordinary when
the eyes are dull and expression
less. When so much depends on
the eyes it may be advisable to
make sure We are protecting
them from strain and giving

First of all, the eyes. to be
beautiful, must have exercise and
plenty of rest.
The business girl will often
find that her eyes become IA

reason for this may be improper

How to Revive
The Terrace

Just about now you are prob
ably wishing that the terrace
looked gayer, that the green gar
den did not seem quite so monoto-
nous and that the border had
more bloom now that the lavish
displays of spring and early sum-
mer are gone.
You can easily achieve this with
reserve masses of potted plants
placed where they are most
needed, says House Beautiful. All
sorts of interesting and unusual
plants can be potted for outdoor
uSe-the odd yellow and orange
tiger flower, and the flamboyant
amaryllis half.
A few plants will be enough to
attract attention. Some large
clumps of gay lowered Monbre-
tias can also be reserved for pot
use. A few Ophiopogon jaburan
variegatus can be tried outdoors,
Just because their gold-Striped
linear leaves and their spikes OF
blue flowers are unusual. They
might be striking with yellow
calendulaS and summer chrysan-
themumS.
And a few pots of love-lies-bleed-
ing can be in reserve. The velvety
red-taSseled flowers are so odd and
old-faShioned that it is fun to use
them here and there planted IN
green-glazed pots with perhaps
fan-shaped cockscombs, deep-red
snapdragons, red salvias and scar
