No woman wants to look older than
she is and all Of them would like to
look younger than they are. Today
that is possiblel
We know 20 much more about
health and care Of the skin and
makeup than we did in the past, and
thank heavens We also know about
facial exercises. I have . great
many letters in my files from women
who have taken my facial exercises.
Some Of them have said. MY friends
ask me what I have been doing
because I look 10 much younger .
Another told me that she had been
in an automobile accident and wrote
that she has been taking these exer-
cises while she had to stay in the
house and that every one is saying
the accident agreed with her.
Here Is . good exercise for you
to try: Bit In front Of . mirror
Fill yonr cheeks with air and blow
them out. While they are blown up
chew vigorously, resisting with your
cheeks.
Always apply cold cream before
taking facial exercises. 1t takes q

Gradually the custom Of sending
your winter rugs to the cleaners and
then to storage, as you do your win
ter coat, is taking over.
If this is done the results are two
fold, both beneficial. Your winter
rugs will wear longer for having
had rest and your home takes on
q new appearance. Nothing is
worse for family morale than to
get the habit Of taking home for
granted. Home should be more
than mere shelter, it should be q
stimulating source Of interest If 1t
Is to reach its ultimate in the
scheme Of things.
Many women constantly are
moving their furniture about, much
to the CONSERVATION of their men
folks. Some Of this desire for
change comes from the fact that
they have not found the right room
EAtrAngernAnt for the room A1ld the
EpSUple who occupy 1t. Other women
change the furniture just to keep
from getting bored.
As summer approaches It Is wise
to plan your furnishings 80 that
all work will be simpler and easier.
Not only should winter rugs and
carpets be sent to storage, but all
heavy draperies such as damask,
satin, tapestry or velvet should be
cleaned thoroughly. Gay cotton,
chintz, linen and sailcloth slip

Summer Rugs Gain Favor

covers are now available.
All unnecessary bric-a-brac or
other accessories should be collected
and stored, 50 that there will be
less to dust.
Your summer rug may be smaller
than your winter rug, leaving q
large amount OF hardwood floor ex-
posed. The fireplace Is no longer
q center Of interest. A large win
dow facing q garden becomes more
important and the garden or side
door entrance may be used moro
than the front door. This means
a Encouragement Of the furniture,
as a new trafdc lane has been
created.
Summer rugs are made Of fiber,
fiber and wool, cotton. linen and
some mixtures. They should be- in
neutral or cool colors. Some are
woven in plaids or stripes, others
have floral patterns printed on the
surface. 2 3
In selecting o patterned rug, sbe
sure to choose one that harmonizes
with your other furnishings. A
solid color rug or one with . geo.
metric design will allow more free
dom in the choice Of shpcovers or
|drapery fabrics. A patterned rug
win show soil less than q solid color.
Many Of the new summer r,lgs
are 50 attractive that young couples
could use them all the year round
until the budget permits the pur-
chase Of winter rugs,

Near East Influence

| hat will be q great fall favorite.
Sally Victor showed us one Of her
newest hats done up In Persian
blue, featuring the tiny gold coins
worn by 30 many Eastern women
on the '.tarboosh." The coins indi.
Gated the wealth Of the wearer.
Colors, Of which the Costume
Institute has catalogued over 600
shades from this exhibit for de-
signers' use, include purples, magen-
tas, greens, blues, corals and an
apricot shade. Much use Of gold as
trimming will also be seen.
The sari Of India, q bright scarf
about six yards long. which is wound
around the waist and drawn over
the head, forming both skirt and
headdress, already has proved .
fashion success. Ornate embroid-
cries, gold and silver thread, lavish
brocaded fabrics will further bear
out the fashion influence Of this
exhibit over which the fashion in
dustry has been excited since 1t was
first shown in January.
Once again one is able to see at
first hand the close alliance between
the worlds of fashion and art and
the relationship Of modern dress
to its sources.
Don't look for the fashion signifi-
canoe Of this exhibit Immediately.
Wait TIL fall. Subtly, you will see
how fashion will show YOU the vari.
Gus ways this Eastern influence will
be incorporated into your own

NEW YORK, April s.-All Of thu
interest being focused on the Neal
East Is not Of . political nature
Fashion Is getting her fair share
these days In New York.
Yesterday We visited the Costume
Institute Of the Metropolitan Mu-
scum Of Art. The present exhibit
From Casablanca to Calcutta has
been . source Of Inspiration for the
whole fashion industry. Milliners,
shoe and dress designers, fabric
houses-all have been intrigued with
the colors and the fashions Of the
Eastern world.
Shown in the exhibit are costumes
from Tunis, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt,
Turkey, Armenia, Syria, Arabia,
Palestine, Persia, Turkestan Bok-
hara) and India. Also featured are
allied arts. such as painting, rug
making, pottery and metal work. In
this way 1t Is easy to understand
how one leading fabric house has
used the beautiful and intricate
design on . Persian tile as the
inspiration for the print on one
Of their fabrics.

VACUUM CLEANER.
from Mrs. N. G., WASHINGTON

fFrom Mrs. N. G., Wns1linqton.)
I have Just purchased what seems
to me, the most wonderful vacuum
I have ever seen or used. It is
quite new. It is an upright that
may be converted into a tank type
for convenience. It has all attach
ments, plus wonderful floor pol
isher. I have always been told that
tank" type cleaners do not clean
rugs efficiently. that both an up
right and a tank type were needed
to do really good job.
Several OF my friends have bought
other cleaners, one a tank type, the
other an upright, and both of them
agree that I've gotten the best
bargain.
I am truly enthused with this
cleaner and will be only too glad
to furnish the company name to
Mrs. j. L. NJ, if she wishes to con-
tact me through RCH.
