The cold bath shocks her too much, while
the hot bath takes too much Of the nat
ura1 oils out Of her system.
II convenient, and one feels equal to IT,
q rundown Of alcohol 10 best. But II this
is not always possible, the woman who
has worked hard all day viii ind herself
wonderfully freshened by a complete
change Of clothing. particularly Of the
shoes and stockings. underwear and col
lar.
The theory Of the complete change is
this: The body. which has been conn
pressed all day In corsets. collar and
shoes, has become tired in spots.
The collar presses on the back Of the
neck, the shoes grow rough here and
there, the corset worries the hfps. Now,
II a fresh lot Of clothes be put on, there
will be O new pressure e1erted and tho
old spots will get rested
It is also equal. In restorative QualitisA
to putting on rest robe.
If the woman who has worked all day
feels equal to the task she can slip into
a gymnasium suit, and once In It she can
perform stunts: and oh. such pretty stunts
at that
She can take rocking chair. and, with
this simple outfit, can go through with
gymnastics which VIII rest her body and
develop It as well as though she were to
try the most elaborate OF calisthenics.
In performing the gymnastics the wom-
an who has worked herself tired during
the day should take or all that it 10 pos
sible to remove.
She should then SIT down IN the rocking
chair. and. leaning forward, touch the
tips Of her shoes.
This Is q very simple feat, but It rests
tne back. She can then rock backward
ana FORWARD. swinging her arms over her
head.
It Is not at all hard to do. She can also
kneei on the chair, and, still rocking,
mansse-to keep her body balance. There
are many and many little things she chm
DO to exercise without firing herself.
BATH FOR TIRED WOMEN.
IN certain santtariums in Austria, where
the dred-out Austrian society women 70
70 rest. they have a bath which is for
the WORKOUT. It consists of olive oil
scented with rose.
This very sweet and very invigorating
mixture is used as O massage. and n Is
rubbed into the body until there is mt 8
orop LETT In an ounce bottle. This tahes
a long time rubbing, but it leaves the ma
tent rested.
AS fattener It has no equal
All OF the pure sweet oils are good
rubbed into the body. and all arc restful.
B. the tred-out working woman cannot
always secure the services of a masseuse
and must get along herself as best abe
can.

There Is nothing quite as .estful as q nf-

There Is no doubt that chocolate or
