Outdoor America.

An awakening throughout the United
States to the necessity of play marks
1908 as notable in practical progress
toward fitting our youth for citizenship.
While England cries out in alarm at dis
covery of the physical degeneration Of
her citv-bred. we in America, with a mil
lion immigrants annually entering our
ports. are turning for solution of our
similar problem 10 the playground, with
its fresh air and wholesome recreation
and finding the answer. Quite recently
has come a realization that the play
ground IS as essential as the school
room for the making Of normal efficient
men and women; and with this realiza-
ton davns an era more humane in senti-
timent more helpful in method.
Although not having its inception in
1909. that year at least gave greatest i'm
petus to the playground idea, which,
starting as an expression Of city's wants.
has developed into the most significant
social movement of the century. And for
much Of this the Playground association
is 70 be credited.
In 1895 the only public school play
ground in New York city was an aban-
doned cemetery-tOday there are 26l OF
them. and $4,000 were spent in their
upkeep during 1909. Ten years ago $50

The Daily Rest

We rrate often Of the follies of youth.
nut nlasi being foolish does not always
cease entirely when adult years have
been reached. No woman. who loves
her husband and family, and feels that
her continued life and good health are
IN any degree essential to their happi-
ness. should neglect to take rest each
day. The stress of modern life makes
this more necessary than ever.
The ideal rest should follow soon after
the noon meal-n luncheon is served late
the hour just preceding it has been
found by many to he Il good one. Loose
clothing. which allows the body to relax
completely in lying down. is of great
Importance. If possible remove. or Mt
least loosen the corset. darken the room
and open window wide, 10 secure plen-
ty of fresh air While in this comfort
able gach you stretch on bed or couch.
and closing your eyes shut ont for Il
brief space the world and all its cares.
Sleep Will soon come, and usually last
less than an hour. If the brain is too
active to be easily composed. il may
prove necessary to read a little while to
divert it to new and restful channels of
thought. Arrange, as far as possible to
be left free from all interruption. Even
fifteen minutes so spent is of value. but
from half an hour TO an hour is what
every women owes to herself and to her
family.
The trouble of dressing and undressing
should not deter any sensible woman
from taking such a rest but rather in
duce her to insist upon having her
clothing made with its easy adjustment
in mind. If the morning has been spent
at home the rest will often occur when
a change to street garments would be
made at any rate. Sometimes circum-
stances make it necessary to postpone the
rest until just before the evening dinner.
when the street or visiting gown would
be changed for a dinner dress or dressy
and comfortable house gown. such as the
present one-piece styles make SO easy TO
don.
These rest hours should be a matter
of conscience, especially with women
whose frail health has made expensive
journeys or treatment necessary from
time to time. Those who have known
no ailments should reflect that keeping
well is simpler, safer, wiser, than trying
to recover precious health when it has
been impaired.
