His First Dress Suit.

He was a very youthful looking man
and wore a natty opera hat and a
lengthy raglan which caused him to
be the cynosure Of all eyes in the Arch

first time that he had ever worn a
dress suit. and as he walked into the
car his painful embarrassment was no.

How TO Lie When Sleeping.

The correct posture for sleep Is to lie
on the right side, with the limbs stretch
ed out to their full length and the arms
either straight down by the body or in
any comfortable position provided they
are not raised above the head. The
mouth should be closed and all the
muscles of the body should be relaxed.
The lungs work with greater deliber-
alton during the hours of sleep, and If
the arms are raised above the head at
this time and for any period the ac-
ton of the heart drives the blood away
from the arms and sends it to the head,
frequently making one very restless
when it does not prevent sleep entirely.
