That's just it," exclaimed the author

that digestion, assimilation and nutritive
activity continue as usual when one sleeps,
and so food taken just before sleeping

In a flash. There Is nothing like having

before sleeping, and only TO eat simple,
nutritious food. and to throw away all
medicine, took his advice, and the result
is that I've remained in the city at my

| Il forgot to tell you,'' remarked the
other girl, with a rogush smile as she
jumped down from her stool to go, that
some folks say eating before sleeping has
nothing to do with my improved health
and newly acquired comeliness. What do
they say? Oh they say it has all come

engaged girl can do more for her than

but all the same 1 say to all who would
feel and look well to quit this shaking be-
fore taking business and go to eating be-
fore sleeping instead.
1t is the prevailing custom nowadays
with fashionable women, says the Chicago
| Herald, to go without gloves on the
| street, and it is the ultra fashionables
| who do so. Heretofore bare hands on the
street have been an objectionable breach
of etiquette, and a woman who regarded
| the conveniionahties would as soon have
| thought of appearing upon the public
| promenade without her hat as without
/ her gloves Temperature had nothing to
| do with tito be well gloved as 20 be well
shod was sign of good breeding, which
was inexorably exaeted of all women who
made pretension TO standing in society.
Now, however, upon crowded streets
! and in fashionable stores gloves are the
exception rather than the rule and the
women who wear them are invariably of
! the conservative type. Those who cling
TO old customs and carefully walk in the
and abandoned by all others.
The fin de steele girl draws her gloves
through her belt, perhaps, but she does
not wear them--her carefully manicured
! hands are fully in evidence and are quite
| in keeping with the sailor hat the shirt
waist and the short skirt. Gloves are I'M
| comfortable i'm warm weather and the up
to-date woman does not wear them.
The emancipation of men from bondage
| TO gloves came about 0en or fifteen years
| ago. through an accident The Prince of
Wales was late to the opera and found
on arriving that he had forgotten his
| gloves. IS
Albert Edward is not slave to good
form" in minor matters. though he prides
himself upon being well dressed, and he
| appeared in the royal box where the
Princess awaited him, faultlessy dress
| ed, but ungloved.
Immediately. every man of the smart
set in the house took off his gloves, and
the fashion of bare hands was set. The
news of the new departure was cabled to
New York and to Paris, and forthwith
| adopted by all Anglomaniacs. 1t became
the fad of the season. Since then men
have worn gloves or not, as they pleased,
and they have not been obligatory indoors
| at any time of the year, nor on the streets
in warm weather.
Until near the beginning of the present
| century women wore gloves only with the
hat for out of door dress. Tradition says
that il was the court ladies of the first
| empire who introduced them for full dress
indoors. The wives of the dukes of Napo-
| Icons creation had hands which were
neither white enough, soft enough, nor
| dantiy formed enough to bear compari-
son ungloved with those of the vieille
noblesse.
Merchants and dealers in gloves both
! here and in New York, say that this new
| barehanded fad has affected the glove
trade enormously. The months of July,
| August and early September are deadly
| dull at the glove counters, and this year
even the sale of silk gloves has fallen off
immensely. Even when travelling women
go bare handed, as bare headed, in the
| Pullman cars.
Pretty hands-lke sweet tempers and
paragons of husbands-are largely
matter of care and cultivation. Much
more so in fact, than most of us are
! aware. While tapering fingers and perfect
| palms count for considerable, the general
| beauty Of the hand lies not i'm its correct
