TO BE GOOD LOOKING.
Get Plenty of Sleep, But be Sure to Rise
Early.

The excellence Of early rising and its
inspiring influence on both body and mind
have been themes for the poets song and
the sage's sermon. Early rising promotes
cheerfulness of temper; opens up new
capacities OF enjoyment and channels or
delight to which the sluggard must be
insensible.
II increases the sum OF human exist
ence by stealing from Incidence hours
that would else be utterly wasted, and,
better still, unquestonably conduces to
longevity. All long liyers have been early
risers.
Now, the habit OF retiring TO bed at
late hours will hardly admit OF early
rising, therefore the necessity or re-
framing from the one In order 10 secure
the advantages Of the other From SIX
10 eight hours are generally held TO De
sufficient, and, no doubt, on the average
are so.
Our sleep is regulated much by the
season. In winter people lie longer on
account, as they say. OF its being too
dark TO get up early. There Is some
FEASIBILITY in the reason. but the system
In cold and dark weather is more prone

Old BLANKETS.
How 20 Utilize Them So That They Be-
come Beautiful.

come Beautiful.
Some one has suggested a way to util-
lie old wooden blankets that because
they are shrunken and yellow are no
longer useful as blankets. The idea IS
to make lounge rugs out Of them. There
are two methods suggested. One is TO
first dye them some soft dark shade,
ssay dark brown, then tim them Off TO
make them a good size for the lounge
cover and decorate them either in long
stripes or in borders across the ends,
with a little embroidery done with
crewels. A very simple design might be
made Of interlacing circles or part Of
circles, and these could easily be marked
with the aid of an inverted tumbler.
Embroidered in pretty reds, or browns
and yellows, they would make the rug
very bright. The other method involves
a little more work. 1t is to make stripes
OF some soft wooden goods; two or three
breadths Of dress goods will do. Make
these stripes for nine TO twelve inches
wide. Line them with paper muslin,
basting in the edges. Then draw i'm either
a simple vine design along the stripe or
scattered leaves or flowers. Work these
with crewels, using the outline stitch or
the long and short KensingtOn. IL Will
not take very much work TO embroider
them. Basic these strips lengthwise on
a blanket that has been dyed some pretty
color, and then applique each side down
with a simple catch stitch or herring
bone stitch, using black crewels. Finish
the ends with heavy fringe. or course,

GIRLS, rs THIS TRUE?
The Reason for Going TO College Is to
Have a Good Time.

The Reason for Going TO College Is to
Have a Good Time.
Not a few articles have been written
TO answer the question why a girl goes
to college, but, so far, no one has had
the happy combination of knowledge and
audacity 10 give the reply which would
be the true one in many cases-for the
sake OF having a good time. 1t is uni
versally acknowledged that hundreds
OF young men go for that reason; why
not, then, a corresponding proportion Of
young ladies, especially since by them
the term good time" is very likely to
be used literally, meaning a good time
for themselves and for others.
More than half the girl students are
preparing for teaching, or have some
other clearly defined end in view, but
this leaves a number, absolutely II not
relatively great, who have no idea OF
taking up any form Of professional
work, who study for the mere pleasure
Of it, taken together with the accessory
advantages.
The first class as we'll as the second,
however, can have "a good time" So
cially, and If it be true that the
busiest people are the happlest
and the happiest the busiest then
surely the college girl Of to-day has her
full share of occupation and pleasure.
But she has. on the whole, no more
occupation than she can well manage and
no more pleasure than she deserves.
Bryn Mawr is the leader Of the new
movement in favor OF more indepen-
dence for the students. one which has
been wonderfully successful so far, and
more in the future than 1t has in the
past; the large majority Of college girls
are Trustworthy, and the tendency OF the
times is to recognize that fact.-Harper

PRESENTS FOR MEN.
Things Which Somebody's Brother Would
be Glad to Get for Christmas.

Every man likes a nice pillow. Let
it be large, soft and as light as down"
can make it. DO not embroider It. Let
it be smooth and plain, with a big ini-
tial upon one corner.
If you are not an adept at making
things" save your pennies TO buy good
knife. with a corkscrew, a pair OF scis-
sors and a button hook attachment. 1t
will be appreciated by its masculine re-
cipient.
A girl with taste for needle work can
manufacture a pair Of silvermounted
suspenders that will cost only half the
sum demanded for them in stores.
Nearly every man likes a clock for his
Dire ssing table. You can, if you are in
genlous, get one of the little dollar clocks
at one OF the Main or Broad street stores
and glorify It by mounting it on wooden
framework upon which you have written
a motto in liquid gold.
Give a man the biggest and squarest
paper basket you can find. Coax it into
elegance by liberal coats Of white enamel
paint and plant upon one side Of it a
"splashing" bow.
tiny brass chain with n large and
very sharp pair of scissors attached
makes an acceptable present for literary
friend with a mania for clippings"
Let the chain have a large screw attach
ed TO the end for fastening TO a desk.
Men like more than people give them
credit for liking. pretty pots OF growing
flowers, finely illustrated books. orna-
ments for the bureau and dresser, en-
broidered handkerchiefs and nightshirts
perfumes. fancy soaps, sachets and all
kinds OF understanding things, as well as
good brush brooms. handsatchels, and
travelling rugs.
Select whatever you may be going TO
give to your father or brother-or some
body else's brother-and then see how
daintiy you can put your own indi-
viduality into the gift without making it
too fussy or fine for everyday masculine
use.
