INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE.
Interior architectural use of plas-
tics for the home is suggested after
their more dramatic use in hotels,
department stores, and even in rail-
road cars. The property possessed
by this plastic of carrying light
around curves, and of diffusing light
in desired directions has inspired
new angle of thought in many
phases of interior architecture.
Edge-lighted balustrades, and
etched screens in which the etched
lines appear to be Illuminated, have
been fabricated. Frosted panels,
made of the plastic and sand
blasted. are used for room division
in Pullman cars. Here, too, are
the first installations of ight-car-
rying plastic columns. An all-plas-
tic ceiling consisting Of $500 hand
fooled units, is installed in a hotel
cocktail bar. 1t carries its own elab-
crate lighting effect, possible only
because this plastic picks up light
in new and different way, carry
ing it around curves and depositing
it in a luminous pocket, quite diff
ferent from the usual effect we all
understand with true crystal and
prisms. A plastic lamp with electric
light above picks up that light, max
ing its f1uted base seem to be lighted
from within. 1t truly is a fairy
tale-like material with good, prosaic,
hard working characteristics.

BY EMILY POST.

A letter in today's mail takes me
to task for having printed in this
column that it is sometimes proper
for a guest to leave a party with
out saying "good-by" and "thank
you" to her hostess. The writer
Of this letter explains: II did not
read the advice myself but was told
about it by a friend, who heard it
from another friend who could not
remember what reasons you had
given! She even added that this
other friend may have made a mis-
take. So am writing to you in the
sincere hope that you will print
your opinion in the paper because
I cannot imagine that you would
tell any one to do anything so dis
courteous as that"
In answer to this, have to ac-
knowledge that the friend of your
friend was quite right, but I am
sorry she did not remember the
exceptional occasion about which a
reader asked. did answer a young
woman who was going to a big we'd
ding reception at which she could
stay only a very short time. She
asked whether she ought to 70 at
all since it seemed to her impolite
to have to say good-by almost i'm
mediately.
The correct answer to this exact
question Is that at very large
wedding reception or on any other
occasion when one must leave in a
very short time, it is more courteous
to go away unnoticed than to break
into a queue of arriving guests to
say good-by. The explanation of
this is that in crowd the hostess
cannot possibly notice any one per-
sons absence, but to be interrupted
while receiving by one who is so
soon hurrying away gives her the
impression that her party is a fall
ure. For this reason it is a definite
rule that one may leave any crowded
gathering without calling attention
to ones otherwise unobserved de-
parture.
Dear Mrs. Post: It seems to me
that taking-leave conversations be-
tween hostess and guest have be-
come so mechanical as to be mean
ingless. The typical good-by al
ways sounds the same: (Guest)
Good-by. We've had a lovely time;
thank you for asking U.S." CHostess)
Thank you for coming" or II was
glad you came" Can't one vary
these a little with other remarks
that would be just as proper?
Answer-It is natural for people
who know each other rather form
ally to exchange the typical thank
you's." But in other situations, no

Dorothy Dix Says go
Managing Mothers Really Deserve
Credit for Doing Good Job

One Of the women who has al
ways been held up to scorn Is the
managing mother who schemes and
plans to get her daughters well mar
ried. This criticism of woman who
is simply doing her manifest duty
has always seemed to me most un-
Just. For, believing as we do that
marriage is the career for which
nature destined women and the one
in which they are most likely to
be happy and prosperous, why
shouldn't mother make every ef-
fort to help her girls get good hus-
bands? We all know that for girl
to be popular and have good times
and plenty of boy friends and
eventually to marry Mr.. Right de-
pends just as much upon her mother
as it does upon her own attractions.
A girl may be Miss America her
self and still have to spend her
evenings alone with mamma and
papa, reading an improving book, if
she gives every boy who comes to
the house such a frosty welcome
that he never returns. Nor, no mat
ter how full her bag is of entertain
ing and amusing tricks, can any girl
lure boys into her parlor to see her
performance if the whole family sits
around listening in, and every lad
feels that he is on the autopsy table
being dissected for breakfast talk
the next morning.
But far otherwise is the situa-
ton If mother is on her job. Mable
may not be an eyeful. There may
not be the slightest danger of her
ever setting anything on fire with
her brilliance.
But from the time she was a

utilized in legs for a new, modern
bedroom suite by Gilbert Rohde.
The suite was made of an unusual
type of wood with pronounced long
striped grain. The drawers of the
furniture pieces were covered with
off-white and beige leather. A
group of occasional tables were also
introduced, coffee tables, end tables,
and others with clear plastic legs
and tops.
This plastic, which looks like
quartz crystal but can be carved,
turned on lathe, or worked like
metal, has inspired many decorators
pieces of furniture. In this class
from the style and price angle are
boudoir chairs and larger straight
chairs with frames made entirely of
curved plastic rods, and tables, in
some instances combined with glass
tops.
Other pieces are chairs with
carved. backs in three plume de-
sign, bar stools elaborately carved
with single heavy plastic rod
across the top of the chair back,
and whole tables. Plastics are also
combined with other materials such
as metals, wood, leather and syn
thetic materials of brilliant color.
DECORATIVE ACCESSORIES,
Equally great progress has been
made in the decorative use of plas-
tics; curtain swags and rods, pic
ture and mirror framing, breakfast
bed trays, table lamps snd many
small pieces in the notion class. For
desk use there are combination ink
wells and clock pieces, paper weights
and book ends. Table accessories
include flower bowls, salad bowls,
candlestick holders, salad forks and
spoons and variety of tray designs.

Mable to go. 1t was always jolly

The managing mother does a lot

how often propinquity does its dead

vent her daughters from being as
sociated with men whom she would
be willing for them to marry, on a

She merely wants to give the girl
a chance to marry good man who
will make her a good husband, and
to keep her from Wrecking her life
by marrying some good -for-noth-
ing weakling who will bring down
certain misery upon her.
So all honor to the managing
mother. May her tribe increase

Lethargy
Banished
Exercises Improve
Spirit as Well as
Tone Muscles
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

If your work confines you to office
or home and little time is free fol
outdoor activity, you simply must
do few home calisthenics daily te
keep your figure streamlined and
your pep up to par. 1t is surprising
how a few simple rolls on the floor
and couple of bending-ov move
ments will wake up your lazy cir
culation (even If the day is warm
and make you feel you can take
what comes!
Don't make the mistake of think
ing you can get by without exer-
cising just because it Is hot weather
Our bodies have a lot of little
muscles and big muscles which need
stretching every single day. When
you neglect to get muscle work
out, so to speak, your body grows
sluggish, your mind dull and your
spirit droops as rapidly as the
thermometer rises!
In the morning when you get
out of bed, spread blanket on the
floor and exercise:
For hip slimming: Sit with legs
stretched out before you, feet to-
gether. Brace yourself by placing
both palms on the floor in back
of your hips. Lean back and keep
chin up. Now swing your left leg
over the right with a good rolling
motion. Swing it back to position
Then swing your right leg over your
left. AS you swing, as far as your
leg can 60, keep your other leg or
the floor. Feel a deep massage on
your buttock and twisting at your
waistline. You may do this to some
swing music on the radio. Repeat
entire exercise as many times as
you desire. It is splendid for hip
an waist reducing.
Under Your Shower: Turn your
shower on forcibly, soap your
skin and rinse well. Then stiffen
your left knee, and relax your
right knee. Turn so the force of
the shower water hits your left
buttock. With both hands slap
the buttock forcibly from below
lifting it as you strike. Then slap
high on your right hip as the
water runs on it. Change leg
positions and repeat exercise on
left buttock and hip.
This smart slapping, as the
water runs forcibly, gives your
hips and buttocks a very deep mas
sage and is marvellous for reduc-
ing them. 1t also gives your alb
domen, arms and shoulders a rapid
workout If you slap quickly in
rhythm.
After doing this exercise, stand
erect under the shower and force
back your shoulder blades. Bend
slightly forward from the waist
so the shower water strikes your
back. Swing rapidly from side te
side so that the water will swish
across your shoulders and down your
spine. You'll love the refreshed
feeling you get from that!
End your shower-bath routine
by turning on the cold water fol
q moment, for a quick cooling
and then jump out from under it
After a slow drying, anoint your
skin with your favorite summer
cologne and you are ready for those
fresh cool undies you laid out the
night before.
So on to your work, my pet, youl
day will be brighter for the few min
utes you spared giving your body
what it needs!
