Keep Neck
Youthful
Scrub Thoroughly,
Then Use aGOod
Heavy Cream.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

NO, YOU don't want a swans throat,
really. You prefer one that is
not dead white, but has some pink and
yellow human pigment in it, But you
do want it as fair as scrubbing and
bleaching and liquid powder base can
make it. And you see by your mirror
that your neck is shades darker than
your skin. Charge that to fur collars
and cloth collars and confess that your
neck has not had quite the tender,
frequent care that your face has.
Make up to it by scrubbing a little
longer and stronger when you scrub
your face. Spend few extra minutes
on your throat. Use a good. bland
soap. warm water and complexion
brush or wash cloth. Work in rotary
movement until circulation is up and
your throat is deep pink. Then rinse
thoroughly in warm, then cold. water
Dry gently with turkish towel. Now
smooth on some circulation cream
or a bleaching preparation or mask
Follow directions After this is re-
moved apply rich emollient cream
or a special throat cream or Jelly or
any faVorite that you know will soothe
and soften the skin and also firm.
You may not want a dead white
skin, but you do want your throat
firm and stretched and poised like a
swans. That's where the analogy
applies. Patting with astringent and
wearing a tie-up for half hour a
day will help to keep flabbiness and
sagging at bay.
And exercise will make for poise.
You don't even have to go through
the routine of exercise if you find
that too monotonous. If you're a
young mother, or aunt Cor if you have
to borrow baby because you can't
use YOUR imagination try blowing
balloons, burst a few. it's good for
you, puff out your cheeks. work. Blow

keep mouth lines away.

MRS. w. r. B., CHEVY CHASE.
Answer-The large figured rug Is
absorbing much Of the light in a
room with this exposure. You must
build the sunlight into it. Try to get
a creamy beige shade in paper or
paint for the walls that blends with
the ecru shade in your rug. but does
not get broWnish and dull. You cannot
use real primrose yellow with these
rug colors, but you may keep that
sunlight quality in your wall color.
Use the same shade in very sheer
glass curtaine to warm the light as it
comes in the window. Keep the up
holstery as light with the beige and
rose tones as is practical and avoid
large patterns. would suggest printed
linen for draperies with beige and
rose patterns on a white ground Ac-
cent the room with white and the deep
blue, in lamps, small objects and books.

advice of an upholsterer. as this is

you are not going to stand for his lying

he has got to get up and look for it.
Furthermore. that he has to look
pleasant while he stays around your
house And, above all, keep your own

You have to use drastic methods to
wake up this Weary Willie whom you
have married in order to make him

to him to do it. If there is anything in

situation? l have never said a word
to my husband about not working.
A PERPLEXED BRIDE.
Answer-1 had supposed that Pa
tent Griselda left no lineal descend
ants. but evidently you are her
daughter and inherited all of her
meekest characteristics. Your place
is neither in home nor a counting
house. You should be in a museum
of Human Freaks where people could
go and look at you. and wonder how
you got that way and what made you
stand such husband any longer than
it took you to put on your hat and
leave.
No doubt humility and self-sacrifice,
self-abnegation and the martyr spirit
are all very admirable abstract vir-
lures, but when you concretely put
them into action they can be the
most deadly crimes that any one can
commit.
THEY can sap manhood. They can
kill ambition. They can do away
with incentive. They can foster
selfishness. They can develop tyran-
ny. They can make weak person
weaker; a grasping person more
greedy; a mean person meaner. until
they blot out every good quality in
the individual.
