BE KINDER TO YOURSELF
Women Are Often Victims Of Nervous
ness Because They Don't Know
How to Relax.

One OF the important things to know
In life. especially If you are woman.
is how to let yourself alone, writes
Mary Carolyn Davies in the Mothers
Magazine. The ability to relax, the
art OF being judiciously lazy, the tact
to let herself alone has saved many q
woman from a nervous breakdown.
We all know the housewife who nags
herself into such a state OF conscien-
tiousness that she cannot rest II she
lies down she is continually worrying
herself with thoughts of the work that
she is neglecting.
Much Of the blame for this state OF
CHAIRS lies at the doors of the moth.
ers. The mistake is in their training
OF their children, especially their
daughters. They are taught from ear
Hest infancy to be kind to others, to
bear with them, to forgive them, to
help them; but from birth to death no
one ever tells them to be kind, also,
to themselves.
The woman who nags herself can
make herself more miserable than any
one else possibly could. She can make
her life more of a nightmare than any
misfortune could possibly make 1t. II
such women could learn to be kinder
to themselves there is no doubt that
their own lives would be heightened;
and not only that. but the lives OF
those with whom they come In close
contact would be made far more pleas
ant.
