Good story : Rest

There is real rest in reading good
story and to many woman an inter
esting story is as good as trip away
from home. When your nerves are
worn out, when your head aches and
when the whole world Is going wrong
from your point of view, get good
book. go off by yourself and forget all
about everything and everybody for
an hour or so. Absolutely lose your
self in good story and you will come
back to work with fresh courage and
new spirit. A good story Is like a
visit with interesting people-you've
heard all the nice things they say to
one another, you've followed them
through all the tangles of the plot and
you've laughed over the amusing Incl.
dents: in short, you have had nice
rest, which is worth as much as medi-
cine. The busy housekeeper needs q
change Of thought. In many cases II
is not work, but monotony Of thought
which wears women into invalidism.

may develop good habits, and for infrac-

to approved standards; involves the idea
of education and culture, and herein lies
