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. It’s fun
to be popular and nice to have
an ^attractive home, but what
good is either if you don’t feel well
enough to enjoy it? j

sure to cut off the faded blossoms.
There’s a saying that “One seed
pod equals twelve blossoms,” so
don’t neglect to cut the blooms.
This cutting back of blossoms
has nothing to do with pruning.
A plant is pruned to shape it and

food fertilizer for your plants a
rounded teaspoonful to a square

to be the right amount. Work it
