not keen on the new craze. and when
lady wrote the other day to ask II the
color would remain upon her cheeks art

certainly would. Whereupon the lady
dreading a post mortem discovery wrote
to say that she would rather go on be-
ing pale than have people say things
about her after death.

Red parasols sing such a gay note

because of their decorative possibilities.
Olivines are used with charming effect
in brooches made to represent natural
blades OF grass which, because of their
seasona BILE appropriateness, are now very
popular.
A novelty in handkerchief-land is made

Buttons are a great feature in the dec

very small pearl buttons.
The new-shaped, Low-neclzed lace bole-
ros for evening wear are very smart, and,
worn with long, plain, rather tight-fitting
sleeves of lace to match, lok very chic.
White petticoats of sheer fine lawn
have resumed their rightful sway in the
world of fashion this season, and de-
veloped great possibilities in the way of
decoration. Exquisite founces of fine eni-
broidery are edged with lace; lace tnser-
lions and motifs are inset in all sorts
of designs, and lace frills fall over each
other quite as generously as If the gar
ment were to be worn on the outside.

The attitude of the body in sleeping
has a direct influence upon the heart,
lungs and digestive organs. The carriage
of the body while awake is also largely
affected by it's position during the third
or more of the day spent in sleep.
One should always sleep on the right
side. The body should be extended to Ats
full length and the head thrown way
back The left arm should be thrown as
far back as possible, thus expanding the
chest.
When one lies on the left side an un-
usual weight comes just over the heart,
which should, of course, be left as free
as possible.
Never sleep with the arms extended
above the head or the limbs drawn up,
for this interferes with circulation. 1t
is also a mistake to lie on the stomach,
for this tends to cramp the heart and
digestive organs.
The lower the pillow the better High
holsters hold the head at an unusual an

shouldered by using too high pillows. The
habit of slepeing with the head at such
an angle is soon acquired. To cure ones
self it is well to reduce the hight of the
pillow gradually.
1t is not enough to ventilate the sleep
ing-room at night and in the morning.
Draughts of air should pass through it
freely throughout the day and all night
long. Draperies and hanging about the
bed should be done away with as being
likely to collect germs, which it is diff
cult to remove. If one is afraid of
draughts a high folding screen may be
placed about the head of the bed.
The rule of simplicity should hold for
all the furnishings of the room. The room

be provided with plenty of warm cover

There. is a dear old lady on North
Charles street says the Baltimore Sun,
who for years cherished a hope that
some day she might be fortunate enough
to discover the mate to a splendid old
andiron that had been in her possession
for many decades. 1t was an exquisite
piece of brass and it Snaps and carvings
were so unique that its individuality was
firmly established.
Every one of the old ladys kith and
kin had searched diligently for the old
andiron's fellow, but without success. The
| owner herself had ransacked every junk
| shops and secondhand store in half the
big cities of the East. A few months ago
| she reluctantly came to the conclusion,
that the twin andiron must be in the
possession OF the missing Charlie Ross,
and hence lost to her forever.
Two weeks ago, on being invited to
contribute to 'rummage sale" she sent
the old brass-not without a tear of re-
| greet at its departure.
That same day the old lady's daughter,
acting as one of the patronesses to the
'rummage," beheld an old andiron which
caused her heart to leap into her throat.

The young matron dug down In her
