The cultivation of the forty winks"
habit is the cultivation of longevity and
of general well being throughout life.
There is no antidote against American
nervousness half SO potent as the quick
renewing, in the midst of duties, afforded
by a short nap. 1t would seem that a
single dip into oblivion is that magic,
fairy touch which preserves us youth and
vigor, however taxing may be the rou-
tine of our lives. To this many will say,
But I cannot sleep in the daytime"
That, however, is only incidental, for any
one can cultivate the habit by trying
persistently, says "Woman's Home Com
p~anion."
1t may take a week, tive weeks or even
a month before the first dropping off
occurs, but it is sure to come; a second
will quickly follow, and the habit ulti-
mately becomes established.
Every one accustomed to mapping must
have remarked how much more refresh
ing is a nap of five, ten or twenty min
utes than a long daytime sleep of two
| or three hours. This is because in a
short nap the brain and senses are rested
without relaxing the muscular and ner-
vous system. 1t is simply a breaking up
of the current of conscious activity, thus
restoring the tonicity of the system.
From which the inference is clear that
it is the nap habit of only the forty
| winks'' order that is desirable to culti-
| vate, and the duties of almost every one
will admit of such refreshment so far as
time is concerned. Indeed, there is no
better way of gaining time on a busy day
| than to cut out fifteen or twenty minutes
for renewing the energies. After as1norn-
| ing's effort body and mind both grow
tired; the work flags; things go wrong
Now is the time for the magic dip, from
which you return to your post fresh, in
good spirits, ready to carry on things
with q vim.
1t scarcely seems reasonable that a few
minutes daily sleep should have any
marked effect Upon the health, but that
| such is the case any one may prove by
trial.
How hara it is to make a man UNDER
stand that his wife appreciates little po-
lite attentions from him more than all
the gifts he can possibly buy her.
To quote the co~stermonger, whose
knowledge of human nature we must all
admit is keen and convincing, Its not
so much what e says as the narsty way
e says it" The tone, the impatient look
are chilling to the spontaneity OF affec-
ton which women are all too ready to
bestow, but which freezes cold and solid
under the blighting influences of a mans
manner
OF course the masculine argument is
that there is no occasion for a woman
to droop and pine when she has every
thing that the world can give her, but
how little he is able to gauge the long
ing that lies in her heart for those trifiing
items that --e world cannot give her, that
he alone can bestow, and which in the
giving costs him nothing, but makes her
rich. indeed, so rich that she can smil-
ingly look misfortune in the face, re-
joice in sacrifice, soar superior to every
trial and regard her lot the happiest
among mortals

life a man forgets the curt reply, the
brusques criticism or the absolute indif-
ference INDUCED in by him before leav-
i ing for the days work. Not so with the
woman. Busy though she may be in her
domestic affairs, she carries a heavy
heart with her from one task to another,
and the ready tears we'll to her eyes at
the thought Of what the man has for
gotten all about by that time. Had he
given her a word of praise, a lover-like
look, nothing would seem hard or try
ing either to hands or brain. If men
could only understand that the women
they love are like flowers susceptible to
every chill, but responding gratefully to
every mark of attention, good manners
would be worn more in the home relations
of life, and there would be many hap
pier women than at the present time ex-
list.
Among the unmade robes displayed at
the best retail stores are many of wool

specially lovely one was gray nuns Veil
