The theater Is great rest cure
for the woman who is doing brain
work or for the housekeeper who
Is surrounded By the daily routine of
household duties. Some women
have discovered the value of keeping
a bit OF embroidery, good book or
some favorite magazine within reach
ing distance, and when WEAKNESS
overtakes them they read few
pages or embroider flower or two.
"Catnapping", is one OF the most
effective plans for keeping rested.
An Afternoon OF sleep results In slug
gishness. but few minutes of men,
tai oblivion and bodily relaxation
makes for rosy cheeks, clear complex
ion and bright eyes.
1t Is a pity that more women do
not learn to rest when resting is
necessary to health. The woman
who sits down in the midst of house
hold confusion and reads for a few
minutes when weary may earn the
reputation OF being irresponsible, but
she is at the same time wiser than
the woman who can never "fnd
