Charm Is Key
To Beaufy

WOMEN THE world over are
spending money for beauty aids.
That's all right; teiletfies boost
morale. are grand spirit props,
especially when birthdays are
getting one down. But there's
more to the beauty business
than appears on the surface.
One must have charm. What is
it? A spark that lights the
flame of interest, qualities that
touch the emotions and inspire
admiration.
Many ingredients make up the
formula of charm-a pleasing
voice, the friendly manner. eyes
that light up, lips that are ever
smiling. sympathetic interest
and, most of all, responsiveness.
The woman who seems not to
hear when you are talking, but
is not only without charm but
is lacking in manners.

Smart Example

The table shown today is the
simple implanted type usually
available in department stores,
draped and decorated in the cur
rent Regency fashion. Drawer
space under the skirt. which
parts in the middle and swings
out on arms, will hold all of the
essentials.
The top of this table is green
leatherette, tackled down, nd
the green and gold Greek key
band is wall paper border glued
to buckram and then tackled to
the table over the skirt. For
the skirt. use white percale or
twill to drape stiffly in Sculp-
tured folds.
A mirror frame in mahogany.
lamps of bottle green plastic
bases with gold shades, and ac-
cessories in gold or white
complete the setting. 1t is
simply done in half a days
time and we'll worth the effort
decoratively.

Games, Radio

Several decks of cards for the
solitaire addict, some jigsaw
puzzles and crossword puzzle
books all play their part in the
convaleScent routine.
A radio is a blessing to the
shut-in. There are all sorts of
small models that give excellent
reception. Get one of these
cases to hold the daily or weekly
program and place it nearby.
Give, too, tablet or scratch
pad with a pencil attached.
Rig up buzzer or place a
bell within convenient reach.

make life comfortable for the

Many Comforts

Another excellent device Is a
bed rest, one of those things
that look like the upper half
of chair. But oh, what COM
fort they bring when the invalid
sits up in bed for meals.
A good bed table is another
essential at all times. and is es-
pecially so with an invalid. A
small white chest of drawers
makes a really adequate night
table. The type used in maids
rooms or in nurseries, offers the
best solution.
With so much drawer space.
the invalid can easily get at It's
sues, smelling salts. colognes,
magazines, or whatever he
wants.

Bed Table

A proper bed table is also
part of the equipment in an in
valid's room. There are small
folding tables. tray tables and
best of all. the table that can
be pushed to the end of the bed
and rolled in when required.
This table can be tilted to
serve as a reading stand or for
games too Which reminds US
that a supply of games is as
good as medicine for the con-
valescent who has to be alone
a great deal.
