How to Rest.
To begin with, women sit too muoh, nnd women stand quite too much. Standing about and sitting are not resting* however cleverly women may delude themselves on this point. Absolute repose comes to the tired muscles onto when the body is in a reclining position, and absolute repose comes to the overstrung nerves only when the muscular system is perfectly at rest — relaxed. The middle aged woman shouM learn how to rest. Five minutes of rest flat on one's back on the floor or on a hard, smooth couch are worth half an hour of so styled rest in an armchair or in that unreposef ul tempter, the rooking chair. Some one has said totht women of today, "Never stand when you can sit; never sit when you can lit down." This exhortation, applied with Borne elasticity, is the best recipe fot beauty I know of. I recommend frequent daily lapses into complete fallow* ness.
