Relax When You Can.

morning, SO much the better. If they
cannot, they usually manage to slip
in little half-hour nap during the
latter part of the afternoon. The
English have that sacred hour be-
tween 4 and o'clock when they
relax at tea, and then go back to
their work, rested and refreshed.
But few people in Paris have after
noon tea. IT. is a function at the
Ritz, but that is because the Ritz is
the great meeting place for fashion
able foreigners. But the French
women l have met tell me that even
when they work hardest they man
age to get some little time between
luncheon and dinner for relaxation.
AS matter of fact. l think that
the effervescent temperament is such
that the women can relax even when
they are working hardest. They do
not worry uselessly, they can stop in
the middle of the hardest work for
a little laughter and talk. which is in
itself relaxation.
I have, of course. often preached
this before. 1t is no new idea-to
snatch moments rest during the
strain of hard work. but it has been
particularly impressed upon me when
] see how hard many Frenchwomen
do work, and how long they keep
their youth and attraction. l am
sure that the ability to relax is more
than half the secret of it.

NURSES HOME COMPLETE
q. q. Hospital Hall to Be Scene
of Housewarming.

Completion Of new home for
nurses at Georgetown University
Hospital, which will provide them
with larger and more comfortable
quarters, was announced by the hos
pital authorities today.
The new hall will be thrown open
for Inspection tomorrow afternoon
between and 6 o'clock at a general
"hoGsewarming." while in the even
ing there will be a reception and
dance for the nurses.
Mrs. Isaac Cans, chairman of the
board Of lady managers, will be at
the head Of the receiving line, while
President John B. Creeden, g. j., of
Georgetown University and other off,
Gals of the institution will be among
the special guests.
Opening OF the new dormitory full
fills longtime ambition of the hos
pital, as the old dormitory, it is said,
has long since outgrown its period
of usefulness. Accommodations will
be provided for housing fifty nurses,
while the hall, which consists of two
stories. is fully equipped with all
modern conveniences, parlors and
restrooms.
More than thirty five nurses are at
tending the course Of training which
the hospital affords, the new class
consisting of fourteen members.
