A man will go his room at night. and if
there isn't match handy, he won't even
trouble to get light.
He simply gets out of his buds as quickly
as possible and jumps into bed without
more ado.
Now let us watch a girl aud consider her
ways.
First of all she must have light, and a
good bright one She may have been en-
pertaining her young man in the parlor
well-we will say until bedtime, or
she may have been out to party, but that
doesn't make any difference. A girl has a
regular way of going to bed that she does
not depart from on any account.
The moment she enters the room she goes
straight to the dresser and looks in the
glass. | have seen a girl go down on her
knees and scan every feature, turning her
face this way and that as if what she saw
was something quite new to her. Then the
sweet girl begins TO undress. She takes off
her waist, views for a moment her pretty
neck and arms then she slowly slips out of
her skirts and dons a silken robe de
chambre-for our girl is very swell.
The robe is loose, of pink, blue or white,
with cascades of lace falling all about the
neck ana DOSOIH anu way uOWl W tut udtlIbJ
feet 1t isn't buttoned-just tied with rib
bons. Next the hair-pins come out, and
down fails the hair. Ii has been washed in
soda or ammonia once q month TO mako it
fluffy, and also to give it the golden
brown hue so much admired.
Mrs Potters copper-coloSed tresses owe
much of their luster to the'frequent wash

gives them Our girl brushes her hair and

twist it up into hideous curl papers. Curl
ing irons have done away with all of that.
and the dear girl is just as lovely after the
ball with all her finery off, as she was dur
ing it.
And now she takes bit of silk and draws
it carefully between her teeth. 1t gets out
all the particles that a toothbrush can't
reach; then she takes a little orange-wo0d
stick, dips it into little round silver thing
that holds powdered orriS root, and pro-
ceeds to scour each individual tooth. after
which the toothbrush and a cup Of warm
water finish the operation. She would
rather do this every night than pay dentists
bills, she says.
OF course, the bath is the most essential
thing about the toilet, but our girl takes
hers in the morning. She does wash her
hands and face, however. with water as hot
as she can bear it. She uses flannel cloth
part of her face and neck.
Miss Sallie Hargous, who is famous for
her peachy skin, says that she owes it oil to
hot water. Its the beSj remedy in the
world for sunburn.n says Miss Sallie, ''and
no one who uses it persistently will have
pimples or black heads And now the
nails must be attended to; just a little clip
here and there with the scissors, a rub with
the polisher, and touch of cold cream to
keep them brilliant.
There are a thousand and one things that
some girls do after they go to their rooms
at night. They take medicines and pills
and powders and cough syrups; they use
inhalers, atomizers, flesh brushes and dumb
bells Our girl has no need of all these.
She sticks to her ounce of prevention.
There are girls. too, VINO think they must
have something to eat or drink before retir-
ing.
Miss Kathryn Kidder, who appears to the
public as such an ethereal, dainty creature,
eats a big saucer of onions every night.
She munches them while her maid combs
her hair. And Miss Dorothy Dene, the
young English actress, sits up In bed until
1 o'clock in the morning with novel In her
hand and big plate Of cake on her lap.
She reads the novel and eats the cake, and
the most astonishing part of it is, not that
she doesn't have indigestion, but that she
doesn't die, for with the cake she drinks
quantities of chocolate.
And now, out goes the light and down
goes the curtain. The scene is done.
