Beauty. Sleep has often been de-
fined as those hours before midnight
which we are enabled to devote to re-
pose. and certainly 1t must be admit
ted that constant late hours are de-
tractors of beauty. If you wish to keep
young and look young, do not indulge
IN them.
Those upon whom society makes
great demands and who cannot ignore
those fashionable functions which abb
serb so much time and nervous energy
should try the plan of taking one clear
day every week, or at least every fort
night, for 1ndisturbed rest of mind and
body. let it be understood that on this
day you are 'at home to no one Those
who are of fragile physique and deli
cate constitution should spend this par
ticular rest day" in bed, for the mus
cles and nerves get by this means a
better chance for complete relaxation.
The food taken should be of a light ma
ture, and most of the time should be
spent in gentle sleep. Those who are Of
too restless or excitable a tempera-
ment to sleep during the day may be
read to or read book of sufficiently
light nature not to make any strain
upon the mental powers.
Insomnia is ruthless despoiler Of
good looks, and If sleeplessness becomes
settled the health will suffer consider
ably. Sound, but not heavy, sleep
should make one feel refreshed and fit
for anything. AS people grow older
they are more likely to waken early in
the morning and should therefore go to
bed earlier in proportion. Avoid all ex-
citing discussions at bedtime. Late
suppers are also bad. but to go to bed
hungry is often worse. A slice of bread
and butter and liti.c hot milk or
glass OF hot water slipped while I'M
dressing Will usually cure insomnia A
warm bath. not too hot. has very
soothing effect.

devoid of color and could easily look
pasty.
In the old days she would have worn
all the hues of the rainbow and would
have looked hideous. But this is the
way she manages to make picture OF
herself: The other evening she walked
into a concert wearing a beautifully
fitted gown of figured black velvet
made as simply as possible and without
one touch of relieving color from the
collar to the tip of the long, snaky
train. Her gloves also carried out the
effect, for they were of black suede.
Her hat was black, and under it her
pale face and rudy hair looked pos
itively attractive. Now, here comes
the master touch: Over all she wore
stole of snowy ermine and carried
granny muff of the same. That was
what call a clever black and white
combination.
OF course it may be carried out
equally well in other colors, but black
and white is always effective for the
red or the black haired woman.

Introspection the Thing.

Women are studying themselves as
never before, and it must be admitted
that American women are unusually
clever in this respect. 1t is indeed easy
to see at a glance the difference be-
tween the sophisticated and the unso-.
phisticated in matters of dress. The
latter bristies with a half dozen col
ors. Considered individually. the
things she wears are smart and even
elegant; it is the effect of the whole
which is lacking. The first thing a wo-
man learns when she gives her serious
attention to the dress subject is to
eliminate all useless colors, colors
which don't mean anything. Then she
finds out which of them particularly
bring out her hair and eyes, and she
adheres faithfully to them 1t is by
simplicity in color scheme that the
most stunning effects in dress are OBJ

other shade, not even red or pink, does.

are covered with sprawly patterned
chine silks, but these are utilized in a
subtle way. They are yelled with thin
nest material of a contrasting or har-
monizing shade, which allows tantaliz-
ing glimpses of the Powered effect
without revealing il with the boldness
of wall paper. Or even sometimes two
figured goods are used, one over the
other-a pin dotted over a Powered. or
vice versa. A certain subtleness is the
keynote in fashionable dress at present.

Montreal, Feb. 7.-Rioting by strik-
ing employees of the Montreal street
railway and their sympathizers began
early yesterday.
A car was wrecked in less than two
hours after mass meeting held after
midnight at which the action of the
union in ordering a general strike was
endorsed.
More than 1000 street railway en-
equal number of their friends waited
outside the hall to near the result of
their deliberations The news that a
general strike had been declared was
received with three cheers. and the
strikers, accompanied by their friends,
marched toward the different car barns
shouting and singing. A large crowd
assembled at the head of the barn in
Cote street The word was passed
around thai car was running On one
of the principal streets The crowd of
strikers and friends went to meet it.
When the car reached Conner street it
was met with a volley of stones The
motorman was roughly handled and
forced to leave the car The mob
hurled stones and bricks at the car,
completely wrecking it.
A hurry call was sent for the police.
A patrol wagon was loaded with Off

riot, but before they arrived the crowd
dispersed and there was no further
trouble at that point
Later, motorman who attempted to
run car out of the barn was assault

French Canadians, and have the SYM
rathy of that portion of the commun-
ity. 1t is said between 1000 and 1900
men are out.
