WHEN PRETTY WOMAN SLEEPS.
How do you sleepl 1 don't mean, by ask
Ing you this, whether you sleep well, or
Whae your favorite soporific Is, but mean
do you sleep after the fashion of the day,
or do you just pitch yourself on bed. close
your eyes, and never mind whether the
house catches on fire or notl Queen Ehz-
absth must have been a very uncomforta-
bic person to sleep with, for in those days
they did not have night dresses; that is 70
say, they were very funny ones. Her IA
vorite one was of purple velvet, trimmed
elaborately with gold lace, and l have
always thought that is why she remained
virgin queen. We have changed that all
nowadays. In the first place, your bed
must be Of brass for health, then iI must be
properly draped with whatever you can
afford, the most inexpensive costing the
most. There's bull for you. The
reason for this is that Mademoisells limo
cence must have her bed dreped with
white muslin, which does not cost much by
the yard, but as it does cost great deal to
make up the draperies, and as they have TO
be kept as immaculate as lilies, in the end
they are more expensive than heavy bro
cades. Gossip tells that Mrs. William K.
Vanderbilt's bed looks like q huge hearse; it

platform, and you walk up two steps TO get
into it. When it was first brought over
from the other side it was liued with an
enormous plate glass mirror; undoubtedly
the purchaser had not been told that French
ladies did not use this style OF bed, but it
was soon discovered, and ross-colored satin
took its place. Gossip says the room itself
is bare aud cold looking, and all that it suG-
gests is the opinion given Of Raphael's MA
donna" by Carlyle's maid-'Is's Expne-
sive.n
MRS. vANDERBIET's DREAMY COUCH.
Mrs. Frederick Vanderbilt's bed is said to
be dainty dream, having draperies Of lace
and faint, rosy stuffs about it, until it looks
like great pink rose, inviting one to slum-
Der In its heart. The room has a delightful
individuality; the favorite pictures and the
1Ol little belongings that a woman likes be-
ing here, there and everywhere. The room
itself tells Of the popularity of the woman,
for Mrs Frederick is to-day the best-liked
Of any member of the Vanderbilt family.
LILLIAN RUssELL's DowNY COUCH.
Lillian Russell puts her golden head on
pillows draped on each side by pale blue
draperies, the room itself being in blue and
white, with here and there a hint of light
pink, so that the picture OF the pretty woman
as Frou-Frou. in the costume worn by her
in the "Grand Duchess" are suggested
by it.
MRS. LANGTRY's CHIPPENDALE BED.
Lily Langtry's bed is Chippendale cne.
The draperies are a dove-colored brocade,
and the upper curtains are Of boiling cloth.
those at the top being embroidered in pop
pies and those at the foot in morning glories.
Her dressing table Is draped with boiling
cloth, embroidered in many-hued flowers,
and the curtains on each side Of the mirror
have. after the French fashion, trailing
vine of artificial lilies, so that when the
beauty looks into the mirror she sees one
Lily framed by many more.
WHEN SLOWLY GO THOSE HOURS.
There cannot be too many fancy cushions
In one's bedroom, nor too many fur rugs.
Many women who tire of the silk and lace
bedcovers use large fur rugs in its place.
These, Of course, are only suitable, how
ever, for winter. Somebody has said: "I
wonder IL they sleep any better for the reds
being 50 fine and the cushions so soft.n But
l tell you this, my friend One may have
the softest bed in the world, and yet the
rose leaf hidden in it may reach the flesh
and annoy the soul. Ii is Just as hard to
stay awake all night if your bed is
draped with brocade as it is il you are
on an old wooden bedstead, with a
small headboard, and none at the foot.
Wherever we are, whatever may be our
position in life, we have got to make the
best OF it. This making the best of it is not
very easy thing, by any means, especially
when it is worry, trouble and sorrow from
every source. But, you know, making the
best OF it Is not 30 hard if you have tried it
once or twice There are people who would
not like to be electrocuted, but probably
after the third time they would not object,
and this is the way we have to look at it,
not only Just this Lent, but all the time.
