Fruit should be a large portion of one's breakfast. Hardwood floors and rugs are better than carpet on sleeping floors. Hot water cools and cleanses, cold water "firms," and massage iron* away ugly facial lines. But hare a care how and where you rub or you .will create lines. After bathing in the surf the lips arc often blue. The heart is in rsvolt. Take a few breathing exercises and then watch your lips freshen toward red. Women should take five minutes a day from work and lie flat on the back, all muscles relaxed, with eyes closed. This will be found a wonderful preserver of health, beauty and strength. The bath is a semi-religious observ•nee during torrid weather. Those Who must bathe in a thimble of water. ■o to speak, should spend a long timt In rubbing the body gently with s •oerse towel afterward. If yon feel restless keep the fact to yourself. Avoid rocking; chairs when you are entertaining or are being entertained. Don't fidget your feet, thrust them forward, or call attention to them by crossing and uncrossing' them. One expects boys to go through a hobbledehoy stage when they don't ■eem to know quite what to do With their limbs, but in a girl that lor t oi thing is intolerable.
