OF
Ccday

The wise ones who look at the age
and would diagnose its Ills call one
symptom sense Of rcstlessness. J"
Women are restless, yes-but more
than that it's restless age. Every
body is trying TO do something, to get
somewhere. 10 change over from the
old order TO the new, but just what
the new is they cannot tell you.
And we would hold no argument for
stagnatiOn or for shat Dstlessness
which let's well enough alone and leans
back comfortably on the past and is
content with what Is.
But It is possible that In this very
quest for the next thing, or the new
thing, we are but providing for our
selves ingeniously enough Il cloak to
cover our excuses for not doing the
thing that's here today.
We are all very eager and very rest
less and so sure that the big thing Is
Just ahead or somewhere else. We
could do this all so well If we were
just IN bigger city or ut a bigger job,
sadly forgetting that the job Of today
is, after all. the thing we have been
given to work with.
"Will you seek afar OFF, writes Walt
Whitman in Song Of Occupations"
"You surely come back at last"
In things best known to you finding the
best, or as good as the best,
In folks nearest to YOU finding the sweet
est. strongest, lovingest,
Happiness knowledge, not in another
place, but this place, net for another
hour, but this hour
Such was the strong philosophy of
whitman, wholesome medicine for IA
restless age which wants always the
thing that is just beyond the prosy re
atty Of today,
Feverishly we mark time waiting
for chance TO live, unmindful of the
fact that In the very act Of marking
time we are doing the living. Sooner
or later we will then come back, find
ing the best in folks nearest;
not in another place, but this place;
not in another hour, but this hour"
No mystery touches the life Of to-
morrow that may not be yours today; |
no magic makes the big metropolis |
hold for you the thing that is not really |
in you to work out where you dwell
now.

A BEAUTIFUL NECK.
How to Improve Your Throat With
out Slavery to Routine.

We all know that the neck should
not be too short; should be smaller at
the top than where it joins the chest
and shoulders, that the shoulders
should be neither too broad and well
developed nor too narrow; that the
bones of the chest and back should not
he buried with flesh.
1t is not given to every woman to
have beautiful neck and shoulders
and chest. But she can make the Inust
Of the trio, as nature gave them to her,
by massage and exercise. And she can
do more.
She can care for the skin so care
fully, perfecting the texture and color
ing, that the form of the neck and chest
and shoulders becomes secondary.
Often the skin Of the back and chest
and shoulders will have small erup-
tons when the face of the person is
clear and free from any such disorder,
This is because the clothes cover the
body SO tightly that the air and sun
have no chance to purify the skin be
meath as they do the skin of the face.
Frequent baths of sea salt also tend to
clear the skin of the neck and bring
the blood to the surface, giving it the
glow Of health. Olive oil or some good
cold cream applied to this part Of the
body keeps the pores open and helps
the skin to throw off any secretions
which are clogging the pores.
Exercises which stretch the muscles
Of the back, chest and neck will
keep away any superfluous flesh and
make the flesh hard and firm.
The neck sometimes gets dark from
high and tight collars. For a bleach
use the magic OF lemon juice diluted
one-third with water. Sponge with 1t
and allow to dry on.
Oatmeal is splendid for whitening the
skin and may be used freely.
