hence the efforts of the mOdiStes to
introduce them have failed. Among
the sleeves seen on eight imported
gowns. the first sleeve is that of an
aDTicot-colOred satin. 1t is cut in i
point on an epaulette of mousseline de
sole. The bottom is cut out in points
upon a putting of mOusSeline. There
is vine of embroidery at the top and
at the hand. The second sleeve is that
of plain cashmere gown. and is made
elegant and becoming by tucks. The
third sleeve is that of wool challie
1t is cut in two plaits on each side
under a rosette; the top is open upon
plating of mousseine de sole. with
small rucheS. The fourth sleeve is
tina of silk pOplin gown. with gui-
pure insertis1l and ruches of mousse
line. The fifth belongs TO a tailor made
gown and the sixth is that of a mauve
wool, cut into several parts and fas-
tened down by buttons. The seventh
sleeve is that of a gray poplinette
gown, the edges finished with ruches OF
mCuSseline de sole The last sleeve,
Of black satin. has the upper part COW

loops of ribbon. Sleeves will in the
near future form a still more important

TO BRING ABOUT SLEEP.

some better with none; some with lit

hot bottles to the feet, are often useful.
Tobacco often increases sleeplessness.
Sometimes, after long waking, small

or three hours; cup OF hot, fresh tea
will often send them to sleep again.

is mental and springs from want
of self-control Either one subject
engrosses the mind or a succession OF
ideas. In either case the sleeplesS
must make the effort to stop thought.
1t is best done by attending continC-
ously to some monotcnous and unex-
citing idea which is self-hypnotism.
Some count, some breathe slowly as IL

going through a gate. One of the best
ways is to watch those curious appear

purple hare fading into star, which

all these the purpose is to fix the at
tention on some object which will
arouse no associations. 1t requires
steady effort to do this and to prevent
the thoughts wandering, but exercise
increases the power to succeed. The
half hour before bedtime should b
