with her past their allotted time.
Every day after luncheon, no matter

and in case of unusual fatigue, especi-
ally warm applications will be placed

ments. The tired lines should next
be smoothed out deity, skin food
should be applied, and then away to
a darkened room for twenty minutes
of complete rest. This simple proceed.
ure is so inexpensive and so easily
managed that it will never be popu-
lar; but facts show that many women
have been wonderfully benefited by
the rest when it is needed rather than
after all the work and hurry and
hustle are over.
