UoNry,s Wars OF RESTING.
An Old Lady speaks Up for a style Peeu'
liar TO Wen.

llNN " "
The discussion started at the close OF q
woman's club meeting. Why the women who
stopped to talk with one another in the ante
room should have plunged, unanimously. ino
conversation about fatigue aud methods OF
resting. only one who had heard the papers OF
the afternoon would thoroughly understand.
The first proposition was that the women OF
to-day get moro tired than their g~randmothers
did. One old lady filed a demurrer in favor OF
the pioneer women. but a slim young woman
with a French gown and a lorgnon smiled in a
superior way.
"Ah. they did manual labor. cooked and
scrubbed and served. and all that: but that
isn't what tires a woman most. 1t Is the ner-
vous strain that is killing us. There was no
such drain upon the domestic woman OF
pioneer days"
We'll. midnight raids and s~calping bees run

and rattlesnakes on the doorsteps must have
been a trife trying 10 the nerves. suggested
the old lady satirically. The owner OF the
]lorgnon waved 1t airily.
"Oh physical danger isn't hard to face" she
said with an air of being quite ready TO deal
with savages and wildcats. but the unending
demands upon our time and strength. the
ccaselcss struggle to rise TO intellectual and
spiritual heights. and, at the same time. solve
the problems OF daily life -
They didn't have to stand club papers. il
that's what you mean said the old lady recS-
lessly. and every one looked cautiously around
the room in shocked silence. Then they hastily
dropped the pioneer mothers who had called
forth such heresy and compared notes as to
ways of resting. One transcendontal soul de-
clared that she had mastered the problems Of
the philosophy OF rest. and that no matter how
tired she might be she could be completely re-
freshed by half an hour Of quiet solitude:
You must relax. Body. mind and soul must
be relieved OF tension. Lie down, relax every
muscle. put every thought out OF your mind
You can learn to do it by practice. and five min
utes OF such rest is worth two hours OF the
usual unscienti1c thing"
The women had all heard the recipe before.
Most had tried it with Indifferent success.
i've worked harder trying to relax than
lever did at anything else. said the aggressive
old lady. My mind won't be made a blank.
and I think the ability 10 rest in one wav or
another is all a matter of temperament. Phil

say. as I've always said. that nothing rests me
SO much as to put my feet on the table or win
dow sill. II isn't elegant. but 1t suits my case.
| believe one of the reasons men are more
placid than women is that they sit with their
heels higher than their heads so much"
This open confession set the ball rolling. and
all the women talked at once. each telling what
she liked to do when she was dead tired. The
woman who relaxed had awed them. but they
felt that they could live up to the sturdy old
lady who put her feet on the table. One

France may coqnet with monarchy and i'm

principles and its pride: and one Of the tri-
umphs Of the republic is the reputation for eX-

more elegant and original than those shown
when President Faure receives. 1t Is said in
Paris that the swell Republican women have a.
