/ A friend of mine once told me
that the only time she really rested
was In bed when she was recuper-
ating from an illness. Then, forced
by circumstances, she actually re-
Taxed and made the most of her
opportunity to forget-if only for
! a few days-the duties and cares
that occupied her waking hours
every day. She was a smart woman
because she had learned to turn
tedious moments into benefits.
Here's how she did it:
First, she cleansed the polish off
her nails. Next, she applied good
hand lotion to her hands, and little
pads of cotton saturated with oil
to her nails to soften the cuticle
so that when she again was ready
to be seen in public, her hands
would be smooth ard feminine
looking, her nails pliable and in
good condition.
For ten or fifteen minutes three
times day, she lay mapping with
small squares of cotton wetted with
warm boric acid solution on her
eyelids. The soothing effect derived
from this trick resulted in brighter
eyes, with no red or bloodshot
streaks to detract from their beauty.
Moreover, because her eyes We're
encouraged to rest, the fatigue lines
end circles around them gradually
disappeared completely
She tried giving herself sipple
facials and found them q,ite sue
