One warning: When you are choosing a little something to revitalise a frock, a bag, a glove, or your new hair do, go for the newest, boldest ideas. If feathers are the fashion, better wear the whole bird than a timid wing-tip which will only look fussy. If buttonholes are featured make yours bright and showy. It need not cost much and you will not wear it for long, but while you do it will succeed in making last year's suit look fresh from the fitter.

This year's trimmings tend to the Edwardian style, to suit the 1905 evening dresses and the swept-up hair. There's a glitter about them; fantasy has gone all feminine. If you have got any old-fashioned jewellery get it out, polish it up, and wear it, not on your bosom, but on your glove, your shoulder, or in your hair. The new high-carled hair style can take almost any sort of trimmings; feathers or Rowers; bows or ribbons; sequins or stars.

Do You Know How to Relax?

"HARD work never hurt anybody,

and it is a good thing some- times even to overwork," said a doc- tor once. But he'nlso added, "Only, Babody must overwork habitually."

In these days of strain and stress person, therefore, is the healthfut

the one who can take full advantage of the restful periods which come her way. It is letting go the reins for a time and the right way of resting which matters. If we knew how to relax we would soon get it again and return to harness refreshed and strengthened.

Many people make the mistake of thinking that to relax is simply to do nothing. This would be possible If it were not for the fact that ence we seek to rid the mind of alt effort, too often there rush in all the wor- rles and troubles which either we

or which daily! have kept at bay

And so it is obvious that harus us. we must train the mind to rest - self during the hours of relaxation.

The first thing to do is to relax the muscles completely. Conscious-! ly when lying down relax each mus- cie separately by thinking definitely of the act of relaxing as you think of each one. Then when the body! feels restful, begin to fill the mind with picasant thoughts. Go over in your mind aane walk which lives in your memory, or visit some de lightful spot in your imagination.) Or Uhink of some event which you arc pleasantly anticipating. The mind will gradually relax with the body.
