There used to be n silly notion that
a woman who spent much time or
money on her clothes was frivolous,
while n man was supposed to be quite
beyond the necessity of doing more
than cover his nakedness. We are
learning better, and, despite the fact
that you can point to a hundred and
one poets and philosophers who have
done good work in old clothes. it is
true that the average person will do
better work if he is well. and to a de-
gree fashionabIy, dressed And TO re-
turn to my first proposition. The ill
woman will help herself nightly If
she remembers how big n part dress
plays In determining her physical and
mental condition. If you have head
ache and are suffering from nerves,
even If you have more real pain,
such as neuralgia or the toothache, and
are able TO be about at all. don't go
around the house in your oldest wrap

on bright frock and hrnsh your hair.

and this bright outside, combined with
the effort to look cheerful, VIII 90 far

darkness; and. though It won't cure
pain, you will be surprised to find how
many pains and little illnesses 1t will
tighten and lessen.-Frederika Miller,
