material benefit. Reading is
good example of this, if one can
pursue the thread of the story or
article with an unhampered mind.
Many people whose work keeps
their minds at top speed much of
the time find that an engrossing
mystery story provides splendid
relaxation for mind and body
But don't tackle mysteries if you
succumb easily TO horrors.
However, for those women
who like to have something to
show for every moment, garden
ing affords healthful and relax
ing pastime, if it is done on a
small scale and strictly for pleas
ure. A small plot of ground
planted with choice blooms to be
tended in ones spare time affords
both esthetic satisfaction and
restful exercise in the open.
However, the two most effec-
tive ways in which to relax the
mind and body completely are a
pleasant, leisurely bath, or a day
time nap.
Remember, though, that you
can't flop down on the bed with
the grim determination to rest
and restore your nerves. You
shouldn't even attempt a nap un-
less you know you can make your
mind a pleasant vacuum without
even a tag of a worry about. The
rest of the household, too, must
respect your need for complete
relaxation and keep all troubling
influences away from you. If you
are so fortunate as to achieve
this happy condition, you'll find
that an hour or two of mapping
will make a new woman of you
and do wonders in frightening
your eyes and erasing tired wor-
ried lines from your face. Even
your carriage will be improved if
you're feeling really rested.
The pleasantest and most lux
urious way of all to relax is with
the aid of fragrant. warm bath.
The temperature of the water is
important hence the warm
should be stressed. A cold bath
will pep you up, but it will not
bring about the desired effect,
and a really hot bath will relaz
you to the point of weakness and
eneryation.

Any one of these three kinds

elers.
Luncheon may have as its main
dish fresh salad accompanied
by hard rolls and finished off with
a simple dessert such as straw

one of the easily prepared gela-

IT is no use to dash madly about
in a tense search for beauty,
trying first this, and then that
aid to feminine loveliness with
the grim determination to make
yourself as charming as can be
in the shortest possible time.
There's we'll known copy-book
maxim to the effect that beauty
comes from within. 1t would be
dangerous, of course, to rely en-
tirely on this precept, since most
of us require the cosmetician's
finest art to supplement our own
good points. However, there's a
good bit of truth in that trite little
saying and it must be understood
thoroughly by the woman who
wishes to make the best of her
self.
A peaceful mind, unWorried
nerves and a sound, healthy body
are the first requisites for good
looks, and nothing will insure
their existence like rest and re-

one gets at night clubs and gay
parties isn't what we mean,
either. 1t must be the kind which
gives every part of the body
chance to renew and restore it.
self and which soothes and quiets
tired nerves.
Most of us are under a strain
of some kind or other. The
housewife has children and never
ending domestic duties on her
mind. The business woman works
at top speed in an atmosphere of
hurry and hustle. And the wo-
man who has chosen a social ca
reer, though hers may seem the
easiest lot, is constantly on edge
with round of engagements and
entertaining to engross her, so
that she is liable to fall as easy a
victim to nerves as the rest of us
Since the need for relaxation is
so great, both for health and
beauty, one should consider it a
definite duty to ones self to make
sure that there is a part of each
day saved out for it.
The first requirement for any
peace-restoring and bodybuilding
form of relaxation is that it be
pleasant. Any restful occupation

Simple Food Cookery
In Tiny Kitchenette
Real Fun On Outings

meal snacks are almost neces-
sity.
Since there's a place provided
for every pot and pan and dish
and glass, cleaning up after meals
is a pleasure rather than chore.
AS a matter of fact, after a few
weeks of keeping house in a
trailer some women will be re-
luctant to take up their usual
household duties in poorly planned
and inconvenient kitchens. Per-
haps the ideally planned interior
of the modern trailer will be in
strumental in the scientific re-
juvenation of kitchens that have
been a drag on their possessors
for years. Certainly the principles
embodied in the arrangement of
stove, sink and storage space in
the compact confines of the trailer
could serve as model from which
to make ones own kitchen more
efficient.
One of the great advantages of
the trailer is that it makes year
round vacations possible, since
one takes ones living quarters
right along. Wanderlust is no re-
specter of seasons, but the limita-
tions ordinarily imposed by
weather have hitherto curbed
many a tendency to gypsying
Now all the possessor of an itch
ing foot has to do is stock up the
larder, hitch on the trailer and be
off for a change of scenery in no
more time than it takes him to
make up his mind and sell the
family on the delightful idea of
an unorthodox vacation.
This aid to free-and-easy jaunt-
ing is particularly advantageous
when there are children to con-
slider. Anyone who has Travelled
in a car with youngsters knows
how restless they become after a
few hours of cramped inactivity.
No matter how engrossing the
scenery, the tendency to squirm
and twist about is irresistible to
active young ones. But when
there's a trailer in the rear, they
can be transferred to it's more
spacious confines with greater
comfort for everyone Also, it is
difficult to adhere to the strict
diet necessary for small children
when there are only roadside
restaurants to rely on. However,
with your own stove and food
supplies right at hand, baby
needn't miss a single vitamin.
Since it is possible to plan for
a trailer vacation without hav-
ing to figure in the large outlay
of money for hotel rooms or quar-
ters at summer resort, the va
cation may be heightened by days
or weeks. Since food costs go on
wherever one is, the only actual
increased expenditure is that nee
essary for running expenses and
upkeep of the car.

w appetites are difficult to
tempt, the daily problem presents
itself of serving a luncheon which
will be light enough to entice lag
ging appetites and yet sufficiently
nourishing to sustain one through
the long afternoon hours until
dinner time arrives.
A nourishing luncheon is of
particular Importance when there
are children in the family, for the
intake of calories, vitamins and
minerals must go on, regardless
of summer sun. OF course, young
sters require less food when the
weather is really warm, and the
food they have should be of
kind easily assimilated.
Another good reason for light
midday meal is that no one
wishes to spend any more time
cooking than is necessary on days
when the temperature keeps right
on climbing Because of this.
foods which can be prepared in
the cool early morning hours are
good to know about.
Such luncheon is the one pic.
tured on the right. Its simple
elements are fruit and cheese and
homemade bread and milk, and
even the most heat -jaded appe-
tite would brighten at the sight
of it. One lettuce leaf holds
cooked pitted prunes stuffed with
\eream cheese and decorated with
"a bit of parsley Serving as
groundwork for this tempting
fruit salad is a slice of pineapple.
Reposing on another lettuce leaf
are some fine large Strawberries
surrounding more cream cheese
which has been blended with
heavy cream.
But the piece de resistance of
this summer luncheon is home
made peanut bread, This is a par
ticularly easy and simple kind of
bread to make, for it can be as
sembled, mixed and baked all
within an hours time. Since it
keeps very well, several loaves
could be made at time.
This bread slices very easily
and hence is splendid for sand
wiches, particularly of the tea
time variety. Orange marmalade
combines very well with the pea
nut flavor and makes an attrac-
tive spread for the open-faced
type of sandwich.
Peanuts added to bread will
make the children think 1t Is
something very special and attack
it with great gusto, even though
Imperial Valley press., 1937-05-23

will take minimum of time and
labor and yet be highly satisfac-
tory to every member of the fam
lily.
Fresh fruit or fruit juice can
start off breakfast, followed by
bacon and eggs cooked to sizzling
perfection in no time at all on
the compact little stove. With
toast and coffee, this makes a
