make a list of the 20 questions
most often asked why Grow Old?"
This was difficult to do since readers
ask everything from the record time
for milking a cow to how to reduce
the hips.
However, there is a certain pat
tern In the repetition of requests
for help. Some questions are always
with me!
One of the questions on this list
of 20 came from reader who is
typical Of many others I know.
She said, Il lead very busy life.
I have family and even a job.
How in heavens name can take
care of myself so that I will not age?
"I cannot spend hours on myself,
and II I did everything ] read I
should do, it would take all day
long. Can you give list Of abso-
lutte essentials and weed out the
things that are not quite so i'm
portant? I am lost In q maze Of
information"
think many women neglect
themselves for this very reason.
They read of so many beneficial
things to do that they just give up
and feel that these are ideas which
only the woman of leisure can en-
brace.
This is not true. 1t is amazing
how small an amount of time es-
sential health and beauty treat
ments require. OF course, there are
many things beside the essentials
1t would be nice to do, but woman
cannot afford to neglect the i'm
portant factors if she hopes to pro-
long youthfulness.
Let us begin with the foundation
of all real beauty, health. In the
first place, you must be certain
that your diet is vital and adequate
1t takes just as much time to plan
poor meals as it does to plan nu-
tritious ones.
Next let us consider relaxation
Even a very busy woman can insist
on getting an adequate amount OF
sleep and 10 minutes here and
there A few 10-minute rest
periods, lying down, count up to q
very little amount of time and make
one more efficient. The greater the
hubbub the more important this rest
period becomes.
Exercise is an essential part OF
every life. You can get this in
IS minutes by taking few simple
exercises and by walking part of the
way to and from work and breath
ing deeply. When you leave your
Job you will not feel like walking, but
If you do you will find yourself

so well spent!
We can hardly count facia
cleansing in as a beauty treatment
because that is one of our regula

vorce under some now existing laws.
She suggests that marriage in the
late teens or early 20s be encour-
aged, with the parents supplying
some Of the funds, If necessary, for
the further education of the couple.
She also urges adequate social
security for the aged, making it
possible for parents to give unstint-
ingly to their children, without
being faced with destitution or de-
pendence on them In their old age.
For the amateur anthropologist,
there is interesting data on the mar
riage customs of primitive and his
toric peoples, and the evolution Of
that institution. Interesting, too, is
the considerable information in
cluded on the feminist movement,
reminding us that in the not-too-
distant past, women's rights to prop
erty, to guardianship of children, to
Independent citizenship and to sep
arate domicile did not exist.

In the American home she sees

it has gained in moral and spiritual

give true stability and solidarity to
