Women of the Day.

MY l. hear and read much
J" these days, of the neces-
Wv sfty to health and beauty
of plenty of vigorous outdoor
exercise. And it Is true, outdoor
physical activity of the right kind
is a great kind of bcautifier.
But there us another element
il,at enters just as largely into
beauty That essential is rest.
NathoUt il, perfect mental and
physical fitness is impossible. for
rest meets q deep human need.
One of the greatest Of your
American physicians, who made a
specialty of the nervous diseases
of women, once said that there
are times when the very best pre-
scription for woman is TO send
her to bed with u good novel, and
with instructions TO read for "A
while until she naturally gets
drpwsy and drifts TO sleep, then
TO stay III bed twenty-four hours.
OF course, we can't all of us do
that. for some of us are very
busy persons, indeed. But one
thing We can manage, il we will.
When every nerve calls out. for
reht. we can resoIuteIy withstand
even the most tempting invitation
to- tbeater, dance or party, retire
at s o'clock or before. and stay
In bed until the. following dag.

you feel that every nerve is taut.

things that you positively should

lion to rest. You are simply mot

never left the soil the same as they
found it. Would children always
be annihilating each other just
because their fathers and grand
fathers did so? Must they look on
each other with hostility because
they We're born on different sides
of a mountain, river, or a wood,
which politics calls a frontier?
We all have two native lands!

whether or not history command

The Prince was leaning on the
balustrade above the terraces and
the harbor. His pensive walk
had brought him thither without
his realizing it,
He turned his back on the sea
and on the crowd which after
the concert was beginning to
thin out there below. The
American musicians were pass
ing close to him, followed by a
swarm of small boys.
He looked at e. gap on the
horizon. between the Alps and the
promontory Of Monaco, where the
sun had just gone down. Above
the reddish expanse a star waE
shining with the brilliancy and
luminous facets of precious
stone.
Lubimoff was thinking OF the

The Prince recalled his recent

never seen the women better

tango OF the 5violins on the BOuIe-5

The nightmare OF war had van

remained to recall the conflict
save the uniforms, more numerous

Michael confined his meditation

years war had turned Monaco up

His imagination ran up and

There was q cemetery on each.
The. dead were innumerable.
Were they all to rise together?
Those who came to prolong their
lives under the palm tree and the
olive on the shores of the Violet
Sea would flee aghast.
But the aim Of life was to 1--we.
Life is an endless springtime,
and covered everything it touched
with the eager moss Of pleasure,
with the swiftly creeping ivy Of
dreams.

Have all young brides and
grooms report to the same place
for instructions on how to keep
out of the divorce court, how to
stay happily married and how to

Have the clinic function not only
as a place of definite correction

but a school Of elementary instruc-

right for the future.
The foregoing is not my own

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS

All kinds of furs may be
cleaned with bran, which should
be as fresh as possible. Put the
bran in a bowl, and then place
it in an oven until it is well
warmed through. Stir the bran
about so that it does not burn.
Then, when it is quite hot, rub,
it well into the fur. Shake it out.
