Pioneer Career Woman Here
Is Authority in Art Field
Miss Grace Lincoln Temple Hos Spent
Nearly 50 Years as Interior Decorator

, acter at subsequent expositions and
in public buildings throughout the
country. Also she was chosen as q
member of the Committee on Dec
orations for several inaugural COM
mittees.
AS civic gift to the public schools
of the District, Miss Temple later
became chairman of a committee
on the decoration of classrooms.
She sought more harmonious color
schemes and used pictures COM
bining artistic merit with educa-
tionai value.
Once while on a summer motoring
trip to New England with friend
Miss Temple decided their jour-
neyings would have more zest if
they decided to ''hunt something"
so they chose to track down New
England homes where Early Co.
lonial wallpapers were still dis
tinctive features. Their peregrina-
tions took them to now famous
examples in Thetford and Windsor,
VT, and Claremont and Hanover,
N. H.
This chance need of a summer
objective led to her becoming an
authority on old Colonial wallpapers
on which she has lectured ex-
tensively with slides in many cities.
In the loft of one of the buildings
at Dartmouth College Miss Temple
made perhaps her greatest wall
paper find. She supposed it was
only the fragments of one of the
most famous of all Colonial wall
papers, a depletion of THE Sea-
sons" removed in squares from the
home of a Dartmouth professor
torn down to make way for college
expansion.
Lingering only long enough to put
few of the squares together in
their sequence, Miss Temple re-
turned two years later with the per-
mission of the college authorities
to complete a careful and successful
piece of wallpaper restoration.
Member of Many Clubs.
The finished whole has been placed
by Dartmouth College in the Mu-
scum of Fine Arts in Boston.
Miss Temple has published arti-
cles on Hunting Old-time Wall
papers" and The Story of Wall
paper" in which she detailed infor-
nation on her hobby, which became
an important part of her life.
Miss Temple is one of the charter
members of the Arts Club. Other
club affiliations include the Wash
ington Club, the American Associa-
ton of University Women and the
Twentieth Century Club.
She is frequent lecturer before
club and home and school organiza-
tions. Her subjects include THE
Madonna Nativity Legend" and
Natures Moods Through Famous
Landscape Pictures"
Many samples of old Colonial
wallpapers from her own extensive
collection on the subject she had
recently catalogued and placed with
the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston
to complement her research work
in connection with the assembling
of The Seasons" She received hel
professional training at the Boston
Museum.

Train children to talk when talk
is needed, but teach them to act
on what they talk about. Talk has
a way of deadening conscience and
delaying action and action is what

Bx ANGELO PATRI.

Two old family friends had
dropped in for an evening Of chat
and renewed interests. Sonny, aged
Is, a sophomore in high school,
took over the conversation. When.
ever anybody tried to express an
opinion Sonny did it for him, and
If he had the temerity to insist upon
having his say Sonny drowned him
out by the simple expedient Of talk
ing louder.
Mother beamed proudly upon
him, but father looked uneasy and
now and then tried to catch his
sons eye, even going so far as
to say one time, Just a minute,
Sonny; let Uncle Tabor talk" But
Sonny did not hear. On and on
he talked. He knew exactly what
ought to be done and how and
when and told 1t in detail. The
guests did not stay too long, saying
they had a long way to 60 and
might better start early. Sonny
went with them to the door and
told them how to 60.
Next morning Sonny had to be
called four times and finally forced
to get out Of bed. He was late
for school. He had not done his
homework. He did not bring home
the bread at lunch time and his
mother had to 60 for it. He was
late getting home in the afternoon
because he stayed to talk to some
of the fellows. His report card was
unsatisfactory, mostly Cs and DIS.

Sluggish Skin
Improved by
Stimulation Helps
To Correct Many
Imperfections
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Soap and water and a good scrub
brush or two is the inexpensive
remedy for many skin ailments.
Minor blemishes, goose flesh on
arms and muddy compilations can
all be corrected by a good scrubbing.
Especially during the summer,
when we perspire more freely, we
should take at least one hour a
week for a thorough body scrub to
cleanse the pores. You may use
bland soap and a complexion brush
for your face, q slightly sitter brush
| for your neck, chest and arms and a
| regular long-handled bath brush
for the rest of your body. Of course,
you use a nailbrush and toothbrush
daily, so that makes a total of five
brushes for skin beauty and health!
Literally a wardrobe of brushes.
Unless your skin is very sensitive,
a gentle brushing with the right
soap will add greatly to Its beauty.
But you must dot cleaning at
time when you do not have to
rush out for an engagement, for
any skin is likely to stay bit red
for while after the brushing. 1t
gradually tones down and has a
nicer color.
Cream your face we'll and hop
into a tub of warm water. No
unguents this time-just plain water.
AS your body becomes warmer the
facial pores will open and the cream
will give them a deep lubricating.
Leave the cream on until the bath
! is over and then remove 1t with
tissue. Gently SCRUB your face with
the special bland soap and COM
plexion brush. Rinse it thoroughly
with both warm and cold water
splashings.
After a brief soaking in the tub
take the small body brush and go
over neck, chest, upper back and
arms thoroughly. Work up a good
lather and brush away. You will
sense a delicious tingle, and that
tingle indicates that your sluggish
skin is being stimulated. Every pore
will be cleansed and will breathe
more freely after this shampoo.
With the long handled bath brush
work down to the very end Of your
spine. The brushing not only
cleanses, but acts as welcome
massage to your back muscles.
Finish by brushing your legs and
feet, especially the soles, which are
always neglected when you shower!
1t might be we'll to close the pores
