Living is an Art (Continued from page 21) grin, "I also had to have a 'setting' for my treasures. I hauled in big trees to make it look like an ancestral estate, all seeping in tradition, for I'm a hound for the mellowing atmosphere of past generations — for anything that carries the stamp of age!" Maybe that's the reason she's kept the color scheme throughout the house a warm, rose beige. It's a home, not a showcase for her antiques, and Fanny has captured a tempo of infinite charm, of gracious living. After all, antiques that reflect the intrinsic beauty and sincerity of an older craftsmanship belong in the realm of art. HESITATING in the vaulted hall, we watched the crystal chandelier, which came direct from Stirling Castle in Scotland, catch a shaft of noonday sun and burst into jeweled flames. Against the wall is an 18th Century English powder table now holding growing ferns, and an intriguing Italian clock, dated 1800, with the eyes of the face that forms the dial coquettishly winking with every tick. The only strong color is in the game room, which is dominated by brilliant, splashy paintings from the brush of Darrel Austin, young modernistic. This inviting room, opening onto a fifty-foot terrace, overlooks the gardens and the turquoise swimming pool; it is easily the center for all idle hours, offering everything in the way of amusement. Fanny's own room, with its sevenfoot bed, and huge sun porch, is the last word in beauty and comfort, yet there are no antiques here. The most novel feature is the circular mirrored bathroom, and, believe it or not, flowers are a-bloom in windowboxes! "Collecting antiques," she enthusiastically explained, "creates a fascinating world all its own. Our entire household — my son and daughter, the butler, cook and chauffeur, have become experts and know the real from the phoney. When a new gem arrives the domestic routine is demoralized while we all gather around to examine it and decide where it shall go. This adds tremendously to our community interests. "I'm so completely absorbed m my home," continued Fanny, "that I seldom leave it except for radio engagements. I tear out rooms, make them over and redecorate, just to keep up the excitement. I'm worrying already, as to what I'll do if it is ever finished. "We all know," she added, with a Baby Snooks grin, "that an actress should never plan ahead, but I hope, radio and screen willing, to live right here until I'm a mellow antique myself!" HOW WELL ARE YOU? In the October issue be sure to Read What Joan Blondell Learned About Good Health For Women answer these 3 deciding questions Vv^^^ ,^Ki\^^ ^o^.' QfQO^^ T «J p. ^ MRS. ANGIER DIDDLE DUKE There are three questions, and only three, that any blonde needs to ask herself while trying to choose, from among the perplexing assortment of powder shades, the right shade for her own complexion. Shall I make my skin /airer? Shall I keep it the same shade? Shall I deepen its color? The whole point is this: Are you at your loveliest when your skin looks delicate as a pale apple blossom? Are you more exciting when your skin has a pearl-like tone in it to give subtle contrast to the red of your lips?

Pond's 3 superlative blonde shades will provide you with the right shade for your effect. A delicate pink shade — Light Natural— our lightest shade. It matches the transparent skin of ash blondes.

She thinks matching her skin is most flattering, so she uses Pond''s Rose Cream. blondes love it because it lightens their skin. A li^Iit powder, but creamier, with less pink — Rose Cream (Natural).
