No matter )tow slight her sense of

adopts this first precaution, for her con-
viction is that fatigue brings wrinkles
which prompt rest and massage can
prevent. Accordingly she always re-
gards a tired titling or a touch of neu-
ralgia as an ample excuse for spend-
ing; -half n day in seclusion.
No more lying down in a fluffy negli-
gee with n novel and n box of !Am-

bee in a room to which no sounds are
rtLowed to penetrate, and where she can
enjoy an abundance of fresh air. There

the alirnulnting influence of a special
meal. This consls's of a glass of warm
