Something decidedly new in skirts was
put in the last Of these three gowns.

CORRECT PosIT'oh

beds might be almost indefinitely ex-
tended.
The theory upon which the members
Of the association are working is that
it will yet be possible for them to gain
such complete control over the body as
to keep part Of the system at rest
while the other part Is engaged in its
labors. In this way any unnecessary
waste of vital energy would be
avoided.
They are also trying to discover how
sleep may be made most advantageous.
They believe that people do not sleep
wisely; that in ignorance they pass
many hours in slumber and yet extract
from that sleep the minimum OF rest.
For instance, it has been found that
if the bed Is not constructed properly
one cannot get the best results from
the hours of repost. 1t is, of course,
bad to sleep upon the back, but 1t Is
even worse to sleep In such position
that the stomach Is as high as the
head and the feet lower than both. In
the same way If the spring of the bed
yields to the weight of the body too
readily, the sleeper will be in kind Of
hollow whether he lies on his back or
his side. If he lies on his back his
feet are too high. and If he lies on his
side the spine is so badly curved that
the sleep is actually detriment to the
health rather than an advantage.
In order to obviate this 1t should be
seen that the springs are so construct
ed that they are stronger at the center
than at the head or foot. Then, the
mattress should be moderately hard
and the pillow should not be too high.
If these conditions are obtained it will
be possible for person to obtain the
greatest amount Of benefit from the
hours devoted to repose.
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1900-04-26

An experiment that is as strange as
1t is interesting Is being tried by an
organization of students in several
American universities, which has for
its purpose the frightening Of working
hours. This experiment Is based up
on the belief that sleep is, to a large
extent. a matter of habit and that it
can be lessened materially If proper
care Of the system is taken. They be-
lieve that rules can be devised by
which they will be able to reduce the
sleeping hours to a minimum consist
ent with continued health and they are
working hard to bring this condition OF
things about.
Although there is probably no neces-
sary connection between a lack OF
sleep and brilliant career 1t is never
theless a fact that many Of the most
eminent men spent less hours in their
beds than most of us. 1t is no unusual
thing for Edison to work thirty-six
hours continuously at a single problem
and seldom does he do more than
snatch an hour or two of sleep when
exhausted nature proves too strong for
him. Humboldt, the great German
philosopher, rarely spent more than
four hours in bed, and Littre, who lived
to be so, thought that to spend more
than five hours a day in sleep was
shameful self-indulgence. Jules Verne
is another believer in the virtues of lit
tie slumber. Although he reads until
late into the night, he is at his desk at
dawn in summer and by 6 o'clock in
winter. Lord Wolseley, like Bismarck
and Won Moltke, has always got along
very nicely with little sleep and the list

The under gown was double breasted, fat
cut in front and of gray silk. The jacket
was gray cloth, gray silk lining turning
over in deep revers. The under gown
showed simple black stitching about the
edge, and similar stitching finished the
jackets collar. The same idea carried
out in cloth will be fine. For reception

to be worn a deal in cloths. At the 9TH
er side of the picture is another white
cloth dress, princess in this case, with
deep yoke, sleeves and skirt finish of lace.
Dainty embroidery in narrow black vel
vet ribbon and long scarf of chiffon
knotted at the right bust and falling to

Its yoke was deeper on the scarf side.

The blue cloth waistcoat with its red silk
dots was no error, nor were the stock and

one would feel sure that the tailor who
could make such a mistake could never
have shaped the eton to show just the
mere edge of the waistcoat so prettily ali

Another unusual feature of this suit
was that the sleeves showed the waist

that the waistcoat Of to-day is truly a
