Take It Easy—Learn To Relax One day two women were sent to my gymnasium by their physi cians. Their positions in life of fered a striking contrast but their physical conditions were almost identical. Both underweight, suf fering from nervousness, tired most of the time, and quite certain that exercise was the last thing in the world they needed. The first is prominent in New York society, a leader in several char itable movements, a popular host ess and a much-sought-after guest. The second is a housewife, the mother of three children, doing most of her own work, de voted to family and home. Both women have been energy wasters. Neither of them has given a thought to saving her priceless store of vitality. They have spent it like prodigals on so j many and such unnecessary ac- j tivities that they have literally ex- j hausted their physical resources, j Committee meetings, benefit af- ! fairs, dancing parties and bridge , luncheons kept one in a frenzy of : hurry. Cooking, dusting, bed- 1 making and dish-washing were equally as exhausting to the other. There is no excuse for such ex travagance. You can dance, play bridge, prepare a meal or iron the children’s clothes without making the way you do it. Take it easy. Learn to relax. Never stand up for any chores that can be done just as efficiently while you sit down. Save your energy for the most important things. Your health comes first. If you cannot attend to all your social affairs, pass up a few. When your work piles mountain high, let some of it go until another day.
