Flowers for Your Home in the Japanese Manner
AMCCORDING tQ Margaret Preininger of
I the University of California in Los
Angeles, there is an Oriental proverb—
" Customs and manners may differ, but
the love of flowers is common to all peo
ples.”
Miss Preininger has just completed an
amazingly beautiful volume, "Japanese
yu&lcling IfoutKi Heautu
By Mrs. Penrose Lyly
VOUTH has its problems as well as its
■I beauty. Acne, blackheads and en
larged pores come to blight many an ado
lescent's happiness. The flawless loveli
ness such as shown in the study at the
right by John McSherry is more often
the result of care than of unassited nature.
Acne is probably the greatest bane of
youth. But juvenile acne, as it is called
when manifested in the 'teen ages, can
be banished. A famous authority gives
some rules for getting free of its blight.
The first step is to prevent the arrival
of acne. Avoid cheese if you are inclined
to suffer from this juvenile irritation of
the skin, also avoid smoked fish, much
meat and most fat and greasy fooda Eat
fruit religiously and start each day with
a glass of water. Keep your bowels regu
lar and take some form of exercise every
day.
Twice a day wash the face in warm
water with an absolutely pure soap. Rinse
in cold water, and give your face and
body some form of massage.
♦ * *
■yrOUTHFUL acne is usually caused by
A the outer layer of the skin clogging
the pores and forming blackheads. A
pimple foNns itself around the blackheads,
though all blackheads do not necessarily
have pimples. When the pimple bursts
or is scratched open, there is a discharge
of pus, and that pus, unless completely
removed, causes other pimples. So the
important thing is to prevent this self
infection.
Whe nyou squeeze out a pimple remem
ber that the damp part is filled with
thousands of microbes which can reinfect
your face. Therefore, immediately after
opening the pimple, disinfect the pore
with a little absorbent cotton dipped in a
1 per cent solution of carbolic acid <never
use a stronger solution).
Allow this cotton pad and its disinfect
ing solution to remain on the squeezed
pimple for at least 10 minutes, and allow
it to cover also the surrounding surface
of the face.
In about 10 or 15 minutes the disinfect
ing will be complete and the danger of
the pimple still emitting a serum will be
over.
That little business is very important
to the prevention and cure of acne. Too
many girls thing the banishment of one
pimple will stap acne. They banish one,
only to create many more if they do not
disinfect.
* • •
BESIDE this treatment, and the diet
recommended, the washing and the
exercise, slapping helps. Slap your face
until it stings. This will bring vigorous
circulation to the surface. Sluggish cir
culation is one cause of acne, so the more
vigorous your circulation becomes, the
sooner will the blight be driven from your
otherwise lovely features.
Flower Arrangement for Modern Homes,”
in which she illustrates her instructions
on making a few simple flowers into a
beautiful decorative addition to any room.
Japanese flower arrangements are sim
ple, almost classic in many cases, not like
so many of our favorite clusters and
masses of riotous color. Miss Preininger
explains the difference in her book, show
ing how startlingly beautiful a few flowers
can become when grouped in the Japanese
manner.
For the modern American woman who
seeks simplicity and line in her clothes
and in her furniture, the examples given
by this American student of a great
Japanese art will be welcome and helpful.
An informal arrangement of a few rug
ged but delicately constructed branches of
blossoming quince, and an arrangement
of yellowr-igalla lilies and leaves are shown
here. She calls attention to the spots on
the leaves which are translucent, adding
lightness and interest to the whole effect.

A HEAVY oval bronze bowl 11 inches in
diameter is the base, and in it hides
a round holder of needle points. The
porous stems are made to stand on this
holder. The harmony of color is created
here by the bronze of the bowl, the yellow
lilies, the deeper yellow pistils and the
luminous spots on the green leaves and
