The Morning Nap.

From Good Housekeeping.
Early rising is q matter Of both training and
temperament The nervous person is apt to
rest lightly during the first three hours after
retiring and to fall into the most refreshing
slumber after midnight In that case his
morning nap ought not to be abridged Nature
will gently titilate his eyelids when they need
to unclose. Long limbed persons of the
motive temperament, those who require much
exercise, can maintain equilibrium upon much
less sleep than the nervous, cold-blooded, thin
skinned kind. The former waken early, filled
with vitality and vigor and desire to talk and
laugh at once. They have full command OF
their powers upon regaining consciousness.
But the person Of nervous temperament
arouses himself slowly. He retraces his foot
steps lingeringly from the land OF dreams and
only gradually regains the full use of mind and
body. All such idiosyncrasies ought to be re-
spscted if one would feel at his best.

A Bachelors Criticism on Capes.


Everybody knows that when make any criti-
cism on woman's dress do so only after many
protestations. with hat in hand az it were, and
calling upon heaven to witness that speak
under correction, in a humble spirit, and only
from strong and compelling sense of duty.
But how can l refrain from condemnng those
fantastic, many-membered cloth capes that
our women are wearing nowadaysl
They seem to me wonderfully ungrace-
fui and unbecoming. l think, too.
thatI can demonstrate their artistic deficiencies:
Wooden cloth used for garments does not lend
itself to enumeration and frippery any more
than wood used for building can be adapted to
Gothic forms. A cloth dress should be plain
and so of cape. At all events. and be this as
1t may, l cannot, will not, endure these pert,
presumptuous, presuming garments. And, be-
sides, the wrong women Gas is invariably the
case in such matters) get hold of them, women
whose role, though they don't know it, is the
utmost severity and simplicity of attire
