Clothing should be fashionable Of
course, and yet conservative. In
choosing apparel and accessories II
is often well to select the darker
and less gay article If a choice pre-
sents itself.
Especially important is the use Of
cosmetics. No matter how many
creams and lotions we apply. II Is
impossible to remove without plas-
tic surgery the little wrinkles and
lines that advancing years have
brought. We should not try to re-
move them, for they are often a
mark of character. We should en-
deavOr. instead, to turn our atten-
ton to improving complexion and
general appearance.
Rouge should be used lightly. Be
sure it is the proper shade and that

Mr.. Nash, who operates Nash's
Food Market at 37O1 Fourth Ave.
South, doesn't think so much of
the community from which he gets
his bread and butter. At least
that's the impression he gave a
member of this papers staff who
approached him on the matter of
expressing his thanks through the
columns of this paper.
This is yearly custom of many
merchants who really appreciate
the patronage of the colored com
munity. Mr.. Nash was hostile
when he was reminded that a large
majority of his customers were
colored. He grew nasty in manner
when it was suggested that he
should have at least one colored
person on his weekly payroll.
When it was suggested that such
merchants as he would change
their attitudes when their colored
customers woke up to their real
attitude his only remark was
more power to you"
Nash represents the type of mer-
chant who deserves to be awak-
ened, not because he doesn't adver-
tise in the colored peoples paper,
but simply because his entire at
titude indicates he has no apprecia-
ton for the people who feed him
and his family.
There are others like him in both
cities.

WOODS OF MANY
TYPES SUITABLE
FOR new FLOORS

Pick your floors carefully!
That is good advice for anyone
desiring to replace existing floor
ing or add a new room to the
house.
Probably the least expensive
floor is the ordinary flat-grained
yellow pine. 1t is perfectly SER
viceable and will have long life;
but it is more easily damaged
than edge-grain pine or any of
the hardwoods used for floors,
and, like any flat-grained wood,
the layers of the grain are apt
to rise where they receive con-
centrated wear.
FIR SUITABLE
Ordinary fir is also used in
some parts of the country as in
expensive flooring. Flat-grained
woods make satisfactory bases for
linoleum or carpet or other COM
plete floor coverings.
Next in line of price come the
red oaks, unsolicited white oaks,
maple, beech and birch. All of
these woods make good floors pro-
vided they are thick eiough.
There is a tendency. in order to
get a better grade of wood, to use
a thinner strip. Flooring of less
thickness than one-half inch is
not as serviceable as the thicker
sizes.
EASILY SPLIT
The edges of the grooves that fit
over the projecting tongue on the
edges of the boards are usually
too thin to hold nails in place, so if
there is any spring to the floor at
all, the nails are apt to push up
and splinter these thin edges or
project their heads above the floor.
Next are the selected grades of
white oak and maple, and then the
wide oak boards. After these come
the fancier woods. such as teak,
mahogany and walnut, but these
are used only in very expensive
work.

YOU CAN CHOOSE
FROM DOZENS OF
BATH FIXTURES
New Plumbing Fittings
Better, Prettier

Beauty Of form and time-saving
efficiency!
These twin ideals of today find
expression in architecture, In
home furnishing, and in a hun.
bred things that serve daily life.
Nowhere are they better ex.
pressed than in modern plumbing
fixtures. The modern bathroom Is
utterly unlike its predecessor Of
two decades or even a decade ago.
FIXTURES PRETTY
Years ago plumbing fixtures
were bought for utility alone. To-
day they are purchased with the
purpose Of making the bathroom
one of the most beautiful rooms in
the house, as well as because Of
the utility of the fixtures.
The oldlstyle tub on legs was
the first plumbing fixture to
show the effect of the modern
uAS I'LL HC0uCy al OCo1Sk. 4II6
modern built-in tub, with its low
streamlined design, has a beauty
and symmetry that the old tub
never had.
MODERN STYLING
The old.style lavatory was just
a place to wash in. Its piping was
exposed. A rubber plug with chain
held the water in the bowl. The
modern lavatory with its lustrous
surface, chromium plated fittings,
useful shelfback, and generous
slabspace has greater functional
utility in addition to its superb
beauty and modern styling.
Closets have been improved in
appearance and are more quiet
and positive in their flushing
action. Faucets and valves are
made with renewable seats with
the result that they will outlast
the life Of the average house.

COLOR-A trick in decorating

reason, the pesky critters dislike
this color and shy away from it.
