needs at least an occuaional morning when there isn't any- thing in the world but bed........ Of Course you can afford that luxury! Plan ahead, and take at least two mornings a month to relax completely in the in- terest of your health and your Jooks.
The morning is really the best Ume too. You can lay your break- fast tray with your cheeriest tray- cloth and your prettiest china, all ready the night before. And, when you've finished your breakfast pic- nic you put your tray right away and forget all about it. Or perhaps you will make the tray look attractive that even after your meal you won't like to lose sight of it.

And remember to have every- thing, you will want put near your bed. If you're going to jump up' and down every few minutes, the reat won't do you the slightest good. With all your muscles-and your mind completely relaxed, you can rend a pleasant, light book; write your letters if it is a pleasure to you; or attend to your beauty culture.
You will be wearing your best nightie and lying on fresh percale sheets as cool as water, They will have a faint odour of lavender, and your blankets will be your favourite colour. They should be so light that the only way you know they're pulled up is by their warmth, And, if it's really cold, no heavy coverlot, but a light and pretty eiderdown.
Have the most perfect bloom of your favourite flower close by your bed, and see that there are only the pictures you like and that soothe you-possibly etchings-in

woman needs more than
the ordinary commonsense care -of her beauty. Sometimes blemishes appear on the skin; it becomes sluggish, and lazy.

And then re- member that stimulation and correction can' come from, the outside too with regular atten- tion and, most important, the right choice of cream.
But don't expect wonders if you aren't patient; a few dollara spent DA creams and then a little spasmodic care will not have the 'offect of fairy wand. Respect, even for your skin, must be of a lasting quality.
Most of you probably know that the outer layer of the skin is renewed by the process of cell- division, and as you grow older this process of the new tissues replacing the old slows down con- siderably. But scientific research. han made it possible to con- Berve certain substances that are known to rejuvenate the skin Hence, thera. is now a special cream which is proving most bene fcial to the aged or neglected skin. Used faithfully every day, this cream brings back the soft and de- licate texture of the well-eared-for akin. It is also quite simple to Thoroughly cleanse the skin,

Turn your.clock to the wall; for now there is no time existing, Cold-cream, your face and relax it along with the rest of you, to make it a beauty as well as a rest cure.

Two days without news from theo. It is painful for me to hear that thou art sad. Thou had : promised me to be courageous.”.
As the young wife is evidently longing for his return and com- plaining of loneliness, he com forts her thus:

"The Emperor is mialed by Metternich, who has sold himself to the Russians. In any case he is a man who believes that politica consist of lies. If they want to impose disgraceful conditions upon me, I shall give them war. Aus- tria_shall pay for everything."
