A GREAT BEAUTIFIER.

Laugh and Give Your Nerves a Holi-
day.
There is no doubt that laughter is
great beautifer, and so, too, is relax
ation," says New Zealand exchange.
Indeed 1t is marvellous how some
women manage to perform their vari-
Gus duties at all without ever giving
their nerves a holiday by relaxing
them. AS they go on day after day
the worried minds seem to twist the
nerves until they are tense and strain
ed, like the spring of a clock that is
kept tightly wound up. The tension
shows in the face, which grows sharp
and thin; in the voice. which becomes
querulous and bad tempered, and in
the manners. which become hurried,
abrupt ana disconcerting. Women who
have allowed themselves to sink into
such condition usually complain that
they have no time to rest AS a matter
Of fact they have lost the power Of
resting and simply must be doing
something. They seem to be afflicted
with the disease Of perpetual motion,
and II they could only realize it are
rapidly wasting their nervous strength
and preparing for a physical break
down. This is plain speaking but only
plain speaking win make some women
stop their suicidal folly and take them
selves well in hand. They may think
that they have no time to rest, but the
housework. the cooking, washing.
cleaning. ironing. mending, must be
done day by day or else their world
will come to an end. But there is no
housework under the sun that cannot
be rearranged in such a way that a
weary and worn woman may lie down
twenty minutes and rest at some time
during the day. And if she cannot see
her way to rearranging her work then
she must let some Of It go. There are
no two questions about It. We cannot
juggle with our health, we women.
Either the work must go or we must
And there is no work OF ours that an
other woman cannot step In and do
quite as well-perhaps better. This
sounds hard, but it is true. So when
we find that our passion for doing
things is sapping strength Of body
and elasticity Of mind. let us stop and
consider whether it is, after all, worth
sacrificing health. happiness and good
looks fora bed or a padded cell in a
hospital.

SUPREME COURT
BEGINS SESSION

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Jan. 22.-When the Supreme
Court Of Delaware convened in semi
annual session yesterday afternoon, a
little child, an infant not yet able to
talk, was the complainant in the most
interesting case of the day. Ruth
Iarter Of New Castle county, 1t was
shown, was born after the will Of her
father, Edward A. Larter, had been
made. No alteration was made to the
will. the property Of the child's father
was sold and distributed in accordance
with the WILL which was admitted to
probate on April 2, 1907. The child's
counsel went into the court below
praying for a division I'm behalf Of the
child but met with failure in that
court because the property was per-
sonal, and the will clearly defined the
distribution. The will was made De-
cember Is, 1904.
S. d. Townsend and Harry p. JOS
lyn, for the child. Ruth Larter, laid
heavy stress upon the Delaware stat
utes as we'll as 49, Pennsylvania law
concerning post testamentary chill
dren. The Delaware law, In the Re
vised Code. says:
Section r. A children born after
its parents snail have made a last
will and testament, and for which such
party shall have made no provision
by will or otherwise. shall take the
same portion of its said parents estate,
both real and personal. that he would
have been entitled to If such person
had died intestate."
No decision was announced today.
Chancellor Nicholson. presiding at
the Supreme Court. announced that
the National Dredging Company case
against the Farmers Bank of Della
ware would not be decided at this
term. Instead. the court will hand
down this decision at the April term
of Superior Court in and for Kent
county. and 50 notified the counsel.
The court discontinued and struck
from the list the csSe of Jane B. Nau-
dain, surviving mortgagor, defendant
below plaintiff in error. against Han
nah Tatum. plaintiff below. defendant
in error, on motion of William S. Hill
les, who showed that tho rules OF the

complied with in the case.

is based on testimony that Mrs. Brown

they are no farther behind the times than
the American women who still boil clothes
