A Casement Window By Marie Marot f; - N excellent motto for the amateur interior decorator to bear in mind is, “Rather too simple than too elaborate.” Over elaborateness often leads to gaudy color com binations and unharmonious lines—the two worst faults in decoration. Both of those faults have been avoided in ihe arrangement shown here. Our artist has borne in mind that this is a house in the country —probably of English architecture, simple ar.d rugged. She has. accordingly, designed her rooms with corresponding simplicity. The charming corner sketched here is a splendid example of quiet furnishing and har monious color schemes. The walls are mottled ia oink, yellow, tan and green, which makes a ijjfAijjfc——[**■»=«—***» fitting contrast to the dull brown of the beamed ceiling. The broad casement window, affording a lovely view of the country, is dressed in drapes of chartreuse green taffeta. You will notice that tnere is no valance here, and there should be none for a casement window of this type. The window seat and curtains are all done in the same chartreuse taffeta, while the Chio pcndale chair is upholstered in yellow satin. An unbordered, tan rug covers the entire room, while the convenient little tables are of burn ished oak and serve a variety of purposes. Color is furnished by the bright vases, copper asb trays, cheerful little lamps and fresh flowers os the tables. Both prints are framed in shiny black.

COIFFURE OVER FACE MAY CAUSE BLOTCHES Take Precautions Against Beauty-Destroying Eruptions If Your Mode of Hair Dressing Covers Part of the Face, Warns Miss Huddleston By JOSEPHINE HUDDLESTON Along about this time of year there seems to be a constant cry about blemishes that appear on the forehead and cheeks close to the ears. The answer, perhaps, is carelessness In one way or another and the only solu tion to the problem is cleanliness and then more cleanliness 1 I don t mean to Infer that all of you who are troubled with this beauty ill aren’t doing your stuff with the cold cream or soap and water, but there is such a thing as improper use of these preparations. Then. too. we frequently think our skin is clean when it isn't. This is especially true when the hair is worn out on the cheeks and low on the forehead. The con stant flow of oil from the scalp to the hair and then onto the skin, coupled with layers of cosmetics mix ing with the natural oils of the skin, clogs the pores. The result is either a mass of blotches in the form of a rash or else troublesome pimples which become permanent, unless the cause Is removed. It is not only Important that this area be kept scrupulously clean, but that the hair be kept clean as well. If these precautions are not taken blemish i^crnumr ea are bound to appear rcrTT^i When a mode of hair dress is adopted that brings HUODLloIwN the hair well down on the forehead and far out on the cheeks, a special powder preparation should be used in addition to the thorough cleansing stressed above. Then, too, the hair should be pinned back from the face during those hours around the house and while sleeping This permits the air to get to the skin and helps matters a lot. Pinning the hair back wnen-i ever possible also lessens the amount of oil and powder that It will collect from the face. During those hours when one is on ptrtde. however, the special powder suggested above acts as an antiseptic and aids greatly In clear ing up the blemishes, as well as preventing more from developing. It is made by mixing together two tablespoonfuls of pure Italian tal cum. one tablespoonful of fine boric acid powder and a quarter of a teaspoonful of powdered alum. Stir these Ingredients until they At blended then use as you would any face powder—but only on those parts where eruptions are visible. If the blemishes have developed to a really annoying state substi tute calomel powder for the one suggested above, using it until the skin is clear again. Calomel pow der. besides having remedial quali ties is drying in its action and soon frees the skin of blotches and pim ples. providing, of course, that it is applied only after thoroughly cleansing the skin and that such blemises are caused from incorrect cleansing methods. All of the prepartions referred to above can be purchased at your local drug store for a small amoun' If the hair Is dry there isn't such great chances of dust and impuri : ties clinging to it. but with the oily L type of hair and scalp- frequent j shampooing and brushing are es sential to remove the collection of lint, dust and oil. This is partic ularly true during the summer months when perspiration adds its beauty destroying characteristics. Two applications of cleansing cream are necessary to remove all impurities from the sktn and pores If soap and water are used instead ; of cream It is essential that all soap be rinsed from the skin befora it is dried. .—.= ■'= .
