RELAX WHEN YOU CAN Paria. November 8, 1920 . One of the things that has been most Impressed upon me over here Is the Great importance which the Frenchwoman attaches to her proper rest. Except in a few places which are run mostly for American tourists, there Is a very little of the late night life which a great many of our own. countrywomen indulge in. As a rule, the French woman goes to the theatre, occasionally to a restaurant afterwards, and home and to bed at a comparatively early hour. The fashionable French woman is able to stay in bed late and to have her breakfast served to her there. This ' "petit dejeneuner" as they call it, consists of nothing but most delicious buttered rolls and chocolate, or pep haps coffee. The real breakfast does rtot come until about 12 o'clock. This method has a great many things to recommend it. One is that the length of time between the dinner and the next meal gives the stomach a

complete rest; the French women say that this improves the complexion. It is not so much the length of time between meals, which the French count on to keep them beautiful, as it is the amount of rest they take. If they can lie in bed late in the morning, so much the better. If they cannot, they usually manage to slip in a little half-hour nap during the latter part of the afternoon. The English have that sacred hour between 4 and 5 o'clock when they relax at tea, and

then go back to their work, rested and refreshed. But few people in Paris have after

noon tea. It is a function at the Ritz, but that is because the Rita is the great meeting place for fashionable foreigners. But the French women I have met, tell me that even when they work hardest they manage to get some little time between luncheon and dinner for relaxation. As a matter of fact, I think that the effervescent temperament is such that the workmen can relax even when they are working hardest. They do not worry uselessly, then can stop in the middle of the hardest work for a little laughter and talk, which is in itself relaxation. 1 have, of course, often preached this before. It is no new idea to Don't be completely worn out when you are through work. snatch a moment's rest during the strain of hard work, but it has been particularly impressed upon me when I see how hard many French women do work, and how long they keep their youth and attraction. I am sure that the ability to relax is more than half the secret of it All linjnlrles addressed to Miss Forbes in care of the "Beauty Chats" deDartment will be answered in these

You know, Aunt Enid, I'm awfully afraid to have him there alone in the city. Bud is the dearest boy in the world but he does need me to look after him. At least, he needs some woman with lots of common sense." "You mean that George is a little weak, a little inclined to yield to temptation," I answered. "Yes," Vi said, absent-mindedly, beginning to dust all over again. "Sometimes I think I'm meant to live in the city because it does me so much good, but that Bud should live in the country out of the way of temptation. "Perhaos. after all. it would be a

Her brother Jim, with whom she lives, his wife Esther, the daughter Laura and son Jim, all think of her as nothing but an aunt-of-all-work. Only the youngest, Violet, believes in her. Mark Upjohn, an old beau of her youth, now hunting a second wife, comes back to Henly Falls and calls on her. Violet wants to go to college in the city, and Aunt Enid gives her her own legacy. She goes to the city to take care of her and here the hope to take care of her and here the hopeless old maid and the awkward little girl suddenly awake to the possibilities of life. Both blossom out like flowers in sunlight. Violet is in love with Bud Pearsoll, and the affair is not a happy one. Enid meets Francis Meade, who embodies all her ideals of a man. They return to the farm for the summer vacation. Enid looks barely

"I feel as though I had lost an hour! some time a few weeks ago, and that I haven't been able to make it up since," I said to Violet one morning while we were doing the room work together. "I know it," Vi answered, shaking out a clean sheet and throwing it over the bed. "I promised my psychology professor faithfully that I would put in seven hours a week of study. So -Car I've averaged four and I haven't looked at any other of my books." "You know, the thing I miss most is the newspapers," I answered. They were my favorite recreation in the city, and they were a form of recreation I could have continued here at home. But somehow I never wrote to have them sent me, and if I had done so, I doubt whether I would have had a moment to look over them.

She had a habit of thinking out loud when she was with me, and then gradually talking lower and lower until I could not hear her voice. I was silent out of sympathy.

She could not drag Bud away from the city, though she herself would be willing enough to do without its stimulation for his sake. I thought, whimsically, that she would probably join the ranks of the suburban dwellers, too. Then Bud, could have almost enough of the town's excitement

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am engaged to a fellow who is very much opposed to dancing. Sometimes he works ; night and I tell him I am going to a. dance, which displeases him.

course you must decide definitely which means more to you, the man or dancing. Personally I do not think it advisable for a girl to attend dances when her fiance or husband will not go. The triangle of love should be considered before a person ties himself or herself in marriaee: "I love you because you love the things I love."
