IF you cannot sleep at night, get up and
] Walk around your room few times A
long drink of cold water win effect a
cure, and taking bit to Fest-half an
orange or apple or small cracker-often
will result In the desired sleep.
Try to compose your face when you go 70
sleep. and practice to keep It that way.
More wrinkles are bred in slumber than
the average person has any idea Of The
short. stout woman viii find. too. that IT
fejps her to lie at her full length, rather
than curled up. On awakening In the morn

hands up as far as possible, IL she would
increase her height.
COTTON foulard probably will turn out
~ to be one of the summer joys OF the
woman who does her own sewing.
This useful and tasteful material comes
especially. in the navy and royal blue
shades. petunias and blacks. The hgurings
are floral polka dottings, and there Is one
effect which suggests the chains OF light

thirty inches wide. II so closely resembles
silk Of the same name that, made up. one

lard might or might not crush less easily
than cotton. Anyway. there is a fasaion
in sitting by rather than on ones skirts
which insures their kempt appearance.

but not always with agreeable results 10
themselves. and their experiences are duly
published in the papers and read by right
minded people with a proper amount az
righteous indignation. These newspaper ac-
counts very likely do some good in preyen,-
ing other occurrences OF the kind but they
also have another effect. for when wo-

things that have happened 20 real culprlts
and she Is nearly overcome with terror
