nerves and induce sleep. Chopped |
onions are a wonderful sopOrific should 1
one choose to indulge in them, and they /
are healthful as we'll Tie unpleasant |
OdOr of the onion can be coUnteracteC /
by chewing a bit of Canada snake root /
and the breath perfumed by Il bit of
orris root held in the mouth. A busy
and successful man once told me that
the reason professional WOmen's nerves
gave out so often was simply a qUes-
ton of sighted or Slight lunches.
It does not pay for a business woman
to suddenly adopt the twO-meal-a-day
plan unless she is thoroughly aCCuS-
toned to it, nor should she ever believe
that tea and coffee supply her with real
sustaining power or nourishment, for
they don't. I know Of no two better de-
strOyeTs Of good compilations and good
tempers than tea and coffee, excepting
the cocktail. which latter should be re-
gaTded by every woman as a nail in the
coffin Of her beauty. The wage Garner
needs good, wholesome food at reason
ably short intervals. Next to this she
needs exercise. If she cannot get IL
during the day, let her make an effort
TO take a walk in the morning or in the
evening going to and from her business,
unless the distances are too great. She
should try to spend as much as posi-
| bic of her free time in the open air, al
ranging for walks and small eXcUr-
SiOns with her friends. Getting out Of
doors IS a good habit, just as staying
. indoors IS a bad one. During the day,
when she has q spare moment, let her
remember TO iuvigOrate her whole syS-
TEN with fresh air, and counteract Dy
some quick exercise the strained posi-
ton Of the body which she is obliged 10
retain during her business hours. The
woman who works at a desk or bends
ever q table. for instance, should
straigEten her body throwing head and
shoulders back as far as possible. The
woman who is obliged to stand on her
/ feet most of the day should sit down,
/ bending the body dS far forward as
possible, with the hC I'd bent down to
rest the spine and eQualiZe the circu-
/ latiOu. If she IS at home and dressed
in loose garments, she will find the fol-
lOwin positions more restfuI even than
[ lying on a bed. KneeI down, resting
the elbows on the floor: bend the body
down so that the head almost touches
the floor. This position held for few
moments when the body Is loosely clad
rests all of the organs and is prac-
ticed by the Indian woman when recu-
peTatinE from her 'abOT5.
Before going to bed the business wOm-
an should endcaVCT to repair or erase
] those small ravages to her beauty
which concentration of mind often ere
ates. The wrinkles between the brOwS
should not be allowed to deepen; they
can be ObiiteTated' in time by piHchiFg,
but not pulling, tTe flesh horizontally
+ with fOTefiugeT and thumb. The girl
( who wears eyeglasses should rot allow
them 20 mar the flesh OF the side of
/ the nose. The pressure here ObstructS
/ the flow of blood to the tissues at the
I corners of the eyes, and is IN cOnse-
qUence the first cause of hollow looking
/ eye sockets. Every night, and IF posi-
| BILE once during the day these marks
should be gently rubbed with thumb
/ and fOrefingcr. using d gentle rotary
I upward movement and slight pressure
until the red spots left ~ the glasses
. have disappeared Where the impress
/ sions are very deep they should be
rubbed with olive oil or a good skin
/ food. This formula is excellent:
MASSAGE CREAM.
J Lanoline, 21z ounces: spermaceti, q
/ ounce, white vaseline. 215 ounces. CO
/ cOanUt oil ounces sweet almond oil. ?

( Melt the first five ingredients together
/ beat until the mass cOncretes. adding
/ the benzoin, drop by drop, during this
/ process Extract Of violet or any per
fume may be added if agreeable.
As the business woman has little ex-
+ ira time to devote 10 the development
/ Of her physique, she must turn her
daily work into a series CT physical cu'-
/ tUTC exercises, for every movement. if
J correctly done, is a step forward ana
/ one need not have leisure to walk sit
/ and stand gracefully. These things
/ should be habitual and an office or
I store is quite as good a place to praC-
/ tiCe in IS a gymnasium.
