Relaxing Tired Body

By PATRICIA LINDSAY IF during the day, or at the end of the day, every muscle in your body seems to ache, try lying on the floor for relaxation!

beauty than those lovely feather mat- tresses in which you may sink inches! TAKE FREQUENT REST PERIODS

If you are in your home or where you can do so, take frequent brief rest Spread a sheet or a blanket and lie | periods. Typists, office workers, on it, back flat to the floor. Stretch housewives and many factory hands your arms overhead, hands clasped would greatly benefit if they would together, and push your feet down-stop every two hours for about Ave ward, heels leading. Then you will yawn, and take time to yawn leisure- ly. Stretch again.

After a second or two of relaxing 'bring your arms down to shoulder level, palms downsward on the floor. Stretch again as if you were trying to grow taller and be sure your heels lead downward instead of your toes! While you are in this stretched posi- tion, try to make the small of your back touch the floor (shoulders must be kept still). Relax. Push your ab. domen up. Relax. "Push the small of your back toward the floor again. Repeat this upward and downward action of your midriff for ten or fif- teen times. Then relax thoroughly and stay on the floor for ten minutes, drousing if you can, covered by part of the sheet or blanket.

You will be surprised how this sim- ple exercise will relieve household aches or those our business occupa- tions cause.

HARD MATTRESS BETTER If you constantly have back aches, or a weak spine, you should sleep on a hard mattress, rather than a softer one which will mould to every curve of your body. Many people with acute back trouble are advised by physicians to put planks crosswise under their mattresses to prevent the mattresses from sinking with the. weight of the body. A well tufted hair mattress is far better for your

minutes of rest. And if you could get. down on the floor and go through the exercises described above, you would be greatly cheered by the renewed energy you would have. And you? wouldn't finish your day feeling like "something the cat dragged in!"

TO-DAY'S COMMANDMENT

If you have a low hairline and' you faal that you do not have, a high enough forehead, try soft, high bangs that conceal the hair. line.

Here is a colffure with a centre part { -wave short on either side. Then another wave from either ear upward to centre wave. At the back of each of these waves start pin curls upward and continue on around the back of head with two rows. Through the centre of the top make rolls over Girls in pictures whose hair is very paper rollers from the end of

the black or quite dark often use, just a centre part through on to the two rows of pin curls in the back.

To-day, no girl need have dish- water-coloured hair. Remember how many people used to worry along with mousy-looking locks, dull, streaky hair that blotted out their personall- ties?

Drab hair isn't attractive at any time, and it fades the nicest girl into the background.

· There are many hair-colourings made to-day that are not harmful to the hair. They have an oil base and merely add a touch of colour that brightens the hair and makes all the difference to a "girl's appearance. I even use a brightener on my 14-year- 'old daughter's hair to add a faint

unfailing touch of auburn to her locks.
