Few women know how to rest as they

should. They think that they must un- \ dress and go to bed to be thoroughly comfortafble. This is a mistake, provided there is a tabouret 01* little footstool in the rodm, on which the feet may rest, while the other part of the body is supported by a chair. You can read and rest comfortably in this fashion: and let it be whispered here between ourselves that if we want to gain the maximum of rest in the minimum of time, we should copy the inelegant but healthful trick of the masculine drones, and occasionally put our feet higher than our heads. - Fashionable women, to whom the necessity of ever looking their best has taught this knack, fall into this posture whenever they are in seclusion.

Fraulein Dr. Phil Marranne Phehn was recently made Professor in the Biological Laboratory for Fish Experiments in the Experimental Natural High School in Munich, Bavaria. This it. the first time that a woman has been so honoured in Bavaria, and it seems a Ifappy augury for the future better recognition of woman's work. Fraulein appointment is another instance that in countries like Sweden,

Germ'any, and Denmark, ability is regarded strictly upon its merits, irrespective of sex. Sometimes one hears the that housework is drudgery. If you really take an interest in it, the labour "will not be irksome. If not —any other work would become drudgery under similar circumstances. Never*form the* habit of considering your work drudgery. Be .interested in it. If things seem a bit dull, try a new way of doing the daily tasks. When work reaches the drudgery stage it is often the sign that you need a ehange. Take a little holiday, or rest longer than usual. Sometimes a trip down town, ox a visit to some friends who understands, will refresh you greatly, and you will don the housewifely apron again with a more cheerful mind. Some little recreation should be planned for at least one day each week, as it is necessary for everyone to have something to look forward to in order to keep the mind and body up-to-date.
