Have you ever seen people who do
not understand the art of the repose
/ of the eyes? The eyes are shifty, and,
when you look such a person right
! in the eyes. the lids will blink and the
eyes viii. droop.
| Often such people are thought to be
untrustworthy and full of treason,
stratagem and spoils, all because of an
unhappy mannerism of the eyes. Let
person so afflicted learn how to look
steadily at you. Let such a one learn
and practice the art of opening the
lids and looking steadily at an object;
do not stare, but merely rest the gaze,
winking when necessary, but all the.
while keeping the eyelids beautifully
raised. This viii teach a certain re-
pose of the eyes.
Repose of manner is difficult thing
for tired woman to acquire, even if
she has learned it she will find that,
she soon loses it when a days hard
work comes upon her. She should Sc
cure for herelf a great deal of Sleep.
1t is said that business women must
sleep eight hours a night, while the
woman of idleness, she who is growing
stout and INDECENT, can restrict her
hours of slumber to seven.
The business woman who is going to.
keep her nerve, her temper, her youth
and her resistance must retire early.
and sleep ten hours. If she gets to-
bed late at night. as will sometimes
happen, she should sleep late in the
morning. 1t does not matter when you
sleep, just so long as you get ten hours
of good, refreshing slumber. Il
You can tell the nerve rested woman
at sight. She has bright eyes and
there are few wrinkles in her face.
She is cheerful and her manner shows
that she is not moving along at high
tension; she is not quick or jerky in,
her motions. She is more likely to be
self-poised than the woman who is
worn out for lack of slumber, and she
is as good looking as it is possible for

Society women are practicing repose;
they find that it is an attractive trait.
Mrs. Gladstone is not pretty woman.
but Gladstone said that she made his
home a temple of peace. Probably she
knew how to rest, for resting is an.
art which may be classed among the
fine arts. III
Another factor in repose-and repose
is something which embraces a great
many things-is that of correct eat
ing. If you have indigestion or are
uneasy in your stomach, whether from
hunger or thirst. you cannot be re-
poseful; you viii turn and twist with
the stomach always seeking a more
comfortable position ISL
The stomach lies in folds, and unless
it is comfortably filled it will feel un-
easy. If it is tightly laced it will be.
still more uncomfortable, and so the
stomach must be carefully watched in
ones study for perfect rest.
So in repose there may be enumer-
ated these factors: That of correct
eating, a proper amount of sleeping, 1
the ability to rest the hands and so to /.
avoid nerve leakage, a knowledge of
how to sit, the trick of resting the
eyes, and, above all, daily exercise in &
sitting perfectly quiet.
