but cannot put them entirely aside, will find relaxation in
the garden. The change will rest her. And the woman who has no
household duties to claim her attention needs something to get
interested in. Both will find the necessary stimulus in growing
flowers.
But in order to do this it must not be "played at." Set about it
because you mean to accomplish something. A week after you have
begun in earnest you will find yourself looking forward impatiently
to the hour that takes you out of doors. You will forget about the
gloves that you probably provided yourself with at the outset. You
won't be bothered with veils. Tan will have no terrors for you.
You will look upon dirt as something pleasing because you begin to
see the possibilities in it. You will go back to the house with an
appetite that makes plain bread and butter delicious.
Have a garden.
And do all the work in it yourself.
That's the secret of the benefit you are to get out of it.
