HOW TO RELAX Dear Miss Blair: A few days ago I read an article by a short-sighted, though well-meaning, well-meaning, man that said very few women understood the value of relaxation or how to relax completely. With the children all off to acnool, I tried his advice. My nerves were jumpy and I thought I needed to relax. I took off my shoes, put on a loose housecoat and lay down. Within the half hour given to relaxing my telephone rang three times; someone banged on the kitchen door for fully 10 minutes: my door bell rang and I latar found calling carda of a woman and her daughter I especially wanted to ba nice to. I got up to find tha banging on tha kitchen door had been tha coal man. instead of a peddler, aa I had thought, and that he had dumped the coal In tha back yard. Tha children tracked it in on my clean kitchen floor when they came for lunch. If any housewife house-wife can tell me how she gets that much-needed relaxation. I should like to know her method "1 TRIED." Should be glad to have housewives house-wives tell how they are .able to obey the Injunction of health specialists spe-cialists that they relax a short period of each day. '1 Tried" doesn't seem to have been very successful in her first attempt.
