The Children'sPlayßoom
By Myrs. Christine Frederick,
The Distinguished Authority on Household Efficiency.
NEof the arrangements which
O permit better and smoother
running of the household
where there are children is to have
& well-planned play room for their
use. In this respect we have much
to learn from the homes of our
British allles, where a “nursery”
is as much a part of every home
88 a drawing room. In too many
American homes the children are
sllowed to’ilve In every room of
the house, scatter toys everywhere
and thus make extra work for the
gmother or maid.
Just now, when so many families
sre doing without household serv
fce in order to save expense and
because good help s so scarce, the
mother will find that it pays to give
some attention to the room devoted
to the children. If she is doing
the work herself then by all means
let the play room be on the ground
floor, so that she can “keep an eye
on {t” while engaged in other
duties. 1t may even be worth.
while to transform a back parlor
or other downstairs room into one

If possible, the floor of such a
soom should be covered with lino
feum, unless it is a good hardwood,
which can easly be wiped up in
case something {s spilled on it.
While the pretty white enameled
shildren’s furniture appeals to the
eye it is frankly too much of a
task to keep clean, since it shows
every finger mark. Better by far is
the plain oak furniture. Even
kitchen chairs which little feet or
dirty boots cannot spoil may be
msed.
t may not be possible to re
"floonte the walls, but if this is
done be sure to use washable oil
cloth paper, which {8 as easily
wiped off as a china plate and
which little fingers cannot peel off
pod scratch.
To any mother who complains
that the children “leave thelr toys
about” the author always puts the
question, ‘Do they have special
closets for their own use? One
bright mother devoted an old
fashioned wardrobe to the keeping
of toys and games in careful order.
Any ordinary closet may be fitted
with cross-shelves on which games,
books and small {oys may be placed.
Much has been said about a shirt
waist box or window seat for toys.
But it seems to be the general ex

White lead poisons the skin and rice
powder turns into a gluey paste that
encourages enlarged pores, black

One play room I know has &
foot-wide shelf running round two
sides of the room at the height of
about two feet from the floor. In
this family there {8 & boy who is
fond of playing with engines and
other mechanical toys. He liked to
stand while deing this and so his
mother had this shelf built on
which to run his trains instead of
on the floor.
Much of the mother’s time is
often wasted in hunts for caps, mit
tens and other small apparel. An
eight or ten pocket shoe bag hung
on the back of a closet door will
do much to keep the always-disap

If there is electricity the mother
should see that the globe supply

too high nor too bright, It is most
dangerous for young eyes to be
strained with an intense light
Frequently the light is so high that
it {s too dim for reading. It is not
difficult to lower the light by
means of a switchcord and then
put on a single shade which will
cast the light downward and pro
tect the eyes of those reading.
Yellow is the best color to use for
shades or for lining the large domes
covering electric light.

» Agood substantial kitchen table
covered with oilcloth is excellent in
& room that is also to be used by
older children who want ¢to read, do
“experiments,” etc. Often a mother
or father will urge the children to
, keep away from the parlor table or
desk, forgetting that they have no
serviceable reading or playing sur
face of their own: If the child is
from three to six years old then
the small kindergarten table, only
two feet high, with accompanying
little chair, will keep the child
quiet and give him a comfortable
place for many little tasks.

Brown eyes are commonly con
sldered very beautiful, and a wise
brunette will take the best possible
care of them. Perhaps your eye
lashes and eyebrows are ill-kept.
This will diminish the loveliness of
your eyes. To keep them in good
condition there must be no eye
strain. Bathe your eyes daily with
an eyecup in the following lotion:

Tannic acid ......eous..s grains

Boil the bark in the water for

Photograph Posed by MISS ARLINE CHASE at CAMPBELL STUDIO.
80 many mothers think children
"In the way” when they are doing
cooking, sewing and other house
work. Yet it is just at such tasks
that children receive their first
incentive to many kinds of work.
It requires patience on the part of
the mother to let the child shell
nuts, stem raisins, beat eggs or
help make the bed, but it will be
repaid by the training the children
receive. Educators say that the
hands of the young child are more
sensitive to touch and can be more
easily trained to deftness, skill and
quickness than can one who is
older.

seems to manage her children well.
One secret of her success is to have
on hand a great many kindergarten
supplies and 1o bring them out from
time to time for the young children
who are too small for school. This
secret supply of chains, blocks,
weaving, etc, is brought forth as
if by magic when the usual and
more noisy games are outplayed.
Another good plan is to enlist the
co-operation of some of the bigger
boys in mending articles about the
house, such as eleciric bells, door
knobs, ete., or to interest them in
some such fads as catching butter
flies*or performing simple chemical
or electrical experiments. Unless

the mother makes the home a kind
of workshop for the children they
naturally will want more expensive
and less wholesome amusements.
One successful mother says: “I
don’t care what you children do in
your play room so long as it is
straightened up by bedtime.” Un
fortunately, too many mothers are
inclined to frown on what appears
to be a “muss,” not realizing that
it 18 in these attempts {o do things
that the child is heing trained.
A play room will save the moth
much work, and it will at the same
time give the child a pleasant feel
ing of ownership and help inculcat
habits of order and neatness.
Defying the W rinkles
By Lina Cavalieri,
The Most Famous Living Beauty.
VERY woman must wash her
E face many times a day. But
let me tell you a secret about
this. Do not rub the face hard
when Brying it. A hard rubbing
loosens the skin, causes the under
lylng muscles to sag and thus
coaxes the wrinkles to form.
The face must be most thoroughty
washed at night. This 18 the time
that the real housecleaning must
take place. The reason for this is
not far to seek. During the day
the skin has been in contact with
the dust and smoke and countless
other golling agents out of doors.
When you are ready to retire
hunt up your jar of cold cream and
rub a good coat of {t upon your
skin. This may be wiped away
after leaving it on the face for a
few minutes. 1t you will look at
the cloth you will find an aston
ishing amount of grime upon it.
If this foreign matter is not re
moved your pores wiil become
filled very shortly. and you will
have an ugly crop of pimples and
blackheads.
After the cold cream bath you
are now ready for a tepid water
bath, with which you may use a
mild soap. Be sure that it is one
especially sulted to your skin. Use:*
no sponges or patent face cloths,
but a simple open cloth chat can
easily be kept in a sanitary condi
tion. When the cleansing bath is
finished you can dash a little
cold water on your face to ‘one
up the skin and close the pores.
You may think this is enough,
and that you are now ready to take
your beauty sleep, but I assure you
that you could never efface the
wrinkles by so simple a method.
The wrinkles must be massaged
away with a good skin food or cold
cream. This {s indispensable to
the woman who would have a sof®,
attractive skin free from wrinkles
and the telltale lines of care.
Lanolin' may be used instead of
an elaborate cream, if preferred.
But here is a eream which I often
use, and ong that I have found ex
cellent for softening and cleansing
the skin. It also frons out the skin
like magic and glves the face that
smooth, velvety feeling that every
woman desires: Cocoa butter, 32
grams; spermadeti, 32 grams: oil
of sweet almonds, 160 grams: white
wax, 16 grams; 01l of rose geranium,

almonds, to which one pint of rose
water has been added. If the mix

ture {8 not smooth, it should be
strained through a cheesecloth or
soft silk before using. With the
addition of halt .an ounce of
alym it can do most effective work
in chasing away the wrinkles.
It 18 necessary, too, for you te
know the right way to massage
the cream into your skin. Don't
smear on each cheek a big dab of
Ccream and then spread it all over
your face with your firgers. That
will ‘o but little, if any, good.
With the rotary motion rub the
c¢ream in gently but firmly. Mas-
Sage away from the corners of the
eyes to the hair lines. In the same
way with the tips of the fingers
iron out the lines that concen
tration has written between the
eyebrows. With the tips of the
middle fingers massage the lines
upward from the corners of the lips
to the nostrils and try to eradicate
the ugly little lines in front of the
ears by rubbing gently upward.
When the cream has been well
rubbed into the skin any that re
mains and is not taken up by the
pores should be wiped off with a
soft cloth. But do not attempt to
wipe it all off. Leave some on the
skin over night. This is the great
est help in clearing the skin of
wrinkles that I know of,
In the morning when you awake
you must wash your face in tepid
water, to which has been added ten
drops of benzoin to a quart of
‘Water, This will remove whaicver
cold cream remains on the skin.
Do not forget the dash of cold
water afterward to close the pores.
I have found that the eare of the
skin differs considerably {m Win‘er
from that in Summer. For @x
ample, to counteract the coarsening,
drying effects of the sharp cold
winds I use more than my usual
amount of cold cream. The reason
that Winter is a greater promoter
of wrinkles than Summer is because
the cold winds dry the skin, and
the wrinkled skin is always a dry
skin. Unless you are exceedingly
careful your face will become but
a dry, withered remnant of what
was once a fresh, soft, roselike
skin. ¥
That is why I preach first and
last and all the time eternal vigil
ance in the care of the skin. No
woman wants to have wrinkles or
to lose the freshness of her beau
titul complexion. And ehe need
not. A little care and thought will

When all else fails, try ironing
the face nightly with a lump of

persist in it.
