VJ^HY let bad breath interfere with ** success — with happiness? It's so easy to be safe when you realize that by far the most common cause of bad breath is . . . improperly cleaned teeth !

Use Colgate Dental Cream. Its special penetrating foam removes these odorbreeding deposits that ordinary cleaning methods fail to reach. And at the same time, Colgate's soft, safe polishing agent cleans and brightens the enamel— makes your teeth sparkle. Be safe — be sure! Brush your teeth . . . your gums . . . your tongue . . . with Colgate Dental Cream at least twice daily and have cleaner, brighter teeth and a sweeter, purer breath.

Strangely enough, though three generations of Thomases migrated westward steadily until Lowell's own father finally settled in Colorado, Mr. Thomas reverted to type and chose the East for his permanent home. On his estate he maintains a fur farm, wide orchards and his stables. He still retains a fondness for western horses, relic of his hard-riding scout days. The house itself is 220 years old and built from timber cut down on the estate itself. Originally, it was the site of an old mill, but gradually evolved into a country gentleman's home long before America declared its independence. The house is a revelation for those who think that America was solely populated by logcabins prior to the 19th century. Little has been changed of the original building. There are 30 rooms, spacious and lofty with their high ceilings and rambling corridors. Of course the house is now completely modernized with electricity, modern bathrooms and kitchen, but basically it is the same house it was when kneebreeched squires sipped their sherry back in 1716. Lowell Thomas and his charming wife have preserved the full flavor of their remarkable home by choosing early American antiques, many of them heirlooms of the Thomas family. Although curios brought from the far corners of the world remind one of the ten-year honeymoon the Thomases spent travelling around the world, the furnishings, like their owners, are definitely American in character. ■JOWEVER, saving these curios, there is ** nothing in the Thomas house which is not within reach of the American family. Taste and understanding have made it the charming place it is. The living room grew up around the beautiful Bokhara carpet that the Thomases brought back from Arabia. Its rich red and white motifs decided the color scheme of the room. The walls and ceiling were left white to harmonize with the Adams fireplace, so popular during the Colonial period. Thin gold gauze curtains banded in red admit the gold of the sun. The sofa is modern, but it is of a design termed Lawson, which decorators agree harmonizes best with antique decoration. The incidental tables are Duncan Phyfe, pie-crust, tilt-top and drum, in the best traditional American manner. The over-stuffed chairs are antique American design and upholstered in gailyflowered chintz, against pale cream-yellow backgrounds. This brings to mind an important point in decoration for the conscientious homemaker to bear in mind. Nothing is so important to an attractive room as a careful balance between upholstery, window-treatment and carpet figures. Using an oriental rug is at once an inspiration and a pit-fall for the American housewife. Not only must other colors harmonize, but the size and arrangement of figured materials must be handled with great care otherwise the effect is likely to be garish — yes, even night-marish. Note in the pictures of the Thomas living room that the rug pattern is large and bold and the flowered chintz chair covers also have a large, widely distributed flower pattern. If the chairs had been covered with a small print, the rug would have completely dominated the room, whereas floors 58
