Massage.

/ know few things more restful or
more refreshing than to lie back in a
we'll padded chair, feet stretched out
and soft cushions stuffed under and
around one, while some expert mas
seuse covers ones face with cream and
hot cloths and more cream, and works
the muscles until the face feels fresh
all over, and goes away and let's one
browse and then comes back and
wakes one up by a gorgeous rub with
large piece of ice.
That's the professional face mas
sage, price anywhere from 81 to So,
and sometimes worth 1t. BY that /
mean-if you are to go out in the
evening and late in the afternoon you
look and feel too tired to care about
dressing and being bright and inter-
esting-a facial massage like this is
worth Its price. But you may not
have the price, whatever you desire
for rest and refreshment and massage
and a soft chair. In that case give
yourself such a massage. It won't be
so restful, because you do the work.
But let's see how much work can be
cut out and how much restfulness left.
Slip on your dressing gown, rub the
face with cleansing cream, wipe ii off
with cloth wrung from hot water
Hold this cloth on the face for a min
ute, and rub on some fiesh-building
cream. Rub well into the skin and
into the neck too. Lie down, and
either relax with the eyes closed for
90 minutes, or else read a book or a
magazine. If you find 1t hard to re-
lax, take q quick hot bath after the
cold cream rub, and then lie down;
the heat of the bath will relax you.
Wipe off the fiesh-building cream
with the cloth wrung from hot wa
ter again. Put large piece of ice in
cloth, or a handkerchief, and rub
this over the face. Rub over and over,
under the chin, around the neck, down
the back of the neck. After five min
utes or so, wipe the skin dry and
powder. Lie down again If you can.
In fact, rest as much as you possibly
can before you dress to go out. If
you can drink a cup of hot tea while
resting it will do you good, too.

can provide absorbing, inactive games
for entertainment when the noise gets

In Company.
Some of the times when quiet
should be stressed is when company
is present. The little folk can be
made to understand that there are
persons who get tired and confused
when there Is a chatter of talk or
romping about Indeed, there are
tee
lives that they are actually nervously
upset when such confusion is going
on about them, even for a little while.
Yet they are not cranks or cranky.
They are merely so unaccuStomed to
the noise that they cannot stand it,

Usually these are persons well along

treated with respect.

Little children can be taught not to

In order for the little ones to be

plenty of chance to "let off steam"
They absolutely must have plenty Of
good, healthy exercise. When they
do, unless they are unusual children,
they will not object to being quiet
part of the time.
