BEWARE OF GETTING IN RUT
Just the One Thing Which Women
Should Avoid If They Would Pre-
serve Their Natural Charm.

There is no need for the obesity
in middle aged women that every.
where meets the eye" says a noted
physician. Women do not exercise
enough They marry and settle
down. Settle is Just another word
for stir. set, crusty, and old | have
known young women intensely inter
ested In athletics In schools or col.
leges to drop every form of exercise
as soon as they marry, Then they
wonder why they do not feel as
young in spirit as before their mar
riage."
If you would remain young and at
tractive, keep alert.
Cultivate varied and ever varying
interests. Spread out in rs many d.
rections mentally as possible. Keep
above the plane OF ordinariness.
Hobbies and fads are good mental
tonics. The home woman needs q
hobby even more than the business
or professional woman, For there is
a monotony about homework which,
II not relieved with the cultivation of
outside interests, may result in the
loss OF capacity for happiness and
in the appearance of the "all work
and no play" wrinkles.
Be bright, therefore. and the very
warmth of your sunny nature will
prevent the chill of neglect from be-
ing felt in your home.
Remember: II costs little effort to
always appear lovely in the eyes Of
all who behold you.
