Relief From the Pressure of Work
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

The pressure of work upon many
housewives, especially at this season
OF Spring cleaning, is such that there
is the danger of OVERRIDING and having
TO pay the penalty in that most val
liable of coin, good health. One would
not think of halting or of forestalling
that necessary process which makes
the home so much more enjoyable for
the rest of the year. But now is an
opportunity TO point out a fact that
is recognized in this time of year, per-
haps little more than at any other
namely, that it is not only pleasant
but important to be a good friend to

The new fad for rock gardens opens
many opportunities for the home
gardener. The idea is to create
in the garden space, whether large
or small, a miniature Alpine scene,
with tiny crags and lofty mountains
inches high,
If a stream of water, either nat
ural or artificial, can he introduced,
there can be raging torrents tumbling
down over the wild rocks, flashing
Evening star., 1925-04-16

waterfalls and mirrorlike little pools.
And over all riot of beautiful rock
plants-blue romondia pyrenacia. rose
and white anemone blanda, cyclamen,
Italian bellflower and the luXuriant
white saXifrage.
In this tiny rock garden one has
only to close ones eyes to all else to
imagine it n real Anime scene, and,
oh, how grand and solitary an air
it takes on when thus humored,
Evening star., 1925-04-16

1t, even practiced it, this ill-advised
notion that one must push him or
herself to the last inch, when already
tired? A friend, now under the doc
tors care, said not long ago:
"Qh, today feel like taking holt
day. But 1 mustn't. There's SO much
to be done"
Nerves Give Warning.
Her system gave warning that it
was time for a brief rest. Refusing
to pay any attention to the gentle
but accurate hint, she preferred her
own judgment, which proved itself
wrong. Such a holiday as she has
been forced to take is not of the
pleasantest. She might well have
avoided ii by being as good friend
TO herself as she would be to any one
else in like cirCumstances-that is, by
allowing tired nerves and body short
period of relaxation.
This friendship with oneself should
be d matter of pleasure as we'll as
duty. If you have some favorite
pastime which you have denied your
self for lack of leisure, make point
of indulging in it, especially If 1t is
of the sort to take you out OF doors.
A fresh outlook. s well as change
of occupation, is most refreshing
thing. Sometimes it IS amazing how
short is the time required for. the ac-
compliShment of this. 1t takes but 20
minutes to walk a mile. One house
keeper. not in the best of health, had
the foresight to prescribe a tWo-mile
walk for herself every day in the open
air. 1t was no time at all before her
friends were commenting upon the
Improvement in her appearance her
Complexion seemed freSher, and her
ewes were free from the dark rings
that threatened to encircle them.
Exercise Important.
Sometimes it seems as if men, more
than women, were apt to recognize
the value of exercise and recreation TO
the efficiency of business. American
sports do not claim merely the leisure
classes. but some of the busiest men
in industry. No housewife should be
too busy to befriend herself in like
manner. She may not have the
gym" nor the facilities of golf
course at her disposal, but there are
other things as healthy and inVlgorat-
ing to be found if one but look.
If muscles are already tired beyond
the point of welcoming exercise, do
not allow yourself to put OF your
hours of friendship with yourself with
the excuse that you do not really care
to go out. Enjoy your own hearth
stone and the books at your COM
mand. You may discover that, in en-
joying yourself more than usual,
other people also find you more en-
ioyable. The amount of work that
YOU accomplish need not necessarily
be lessened by such things as you do
to increase your reserve power and,
therefore your efficiency. Every
housewife appreciates that more work
can be done when it is undertaken
with the zest of good health and
rested body.

yourself! There are several ways of
doing this-easy ways. so easy that
one might almost make the mistake
of calling them lazy ways" They
are those precious ounces of preven-
ton SO much more valuable than
many pounds of cure.

Mrs Skunk had talked of moving
but Jimmy Skunk hadn't paid much
heed to what she said. He was too
much concerned with his own imme-
date affairs to be particularly inter
ested in Mrs. Jimmy's talk. There is

Spring, you know. and Jimmy was

T0PSHAM FAIR DEVOTEES Brave
COLD TO SEE fine RACING CARD

three acts Of vaudeville drew as
much attention as the races.
Easily the first in provoking
amusement and applause were Ros-
sow's Midgets, two little fellows, who
staged a miniature boxing bout on
the stage in front of the grandstanu.
and the lusty whacks they handed
to each other might have put heav-
lier men to shame. They also feat
ured with acrobatic stunts. Second
on the bill, the Three Georges, hip
podrome clowns, went through ser
les of eccentric and laugh pulling
acrobatic gyrations in fast routine.
Kings Comedy Circus, with its train
ed dogs and ponies, and its unreliable
mule, brought consistent applause.
