Curled tight to her head;
We looked ut her socially
And thought she was dead"

Years ago we used to smile with con
ecious superiority at the idea Of the
Dutch sleeping under a feather bed in.
stead Of over it. The idea of sleeping
upon a hard mattress and climbing un.
der a soft one seemed rather an ana.
chronism and a singular perversion OF
common sense. but the introduction OF
down or feather comfortable is simply
the utilization of that knowledge OF
things which some of tie older countries
had long ago known. Feathers are ex.
0oedingly warm, and a covering made OF
them s~uperinduces and retains the neat
n the human body.
A curious claim is now made for a new
comfortable of down. The makers as
cert that their product retains all the
aatural warmth. but allows the impure
cir to escape from the bed, how OF
wherefore we are o inforrned.-Up
