A WOMAN'S BEAUTY SLEEP

No woman can be handsome or even healthy without abundance of sleep. The sweetest and most life renewing siumber is that which is dreamless. There is one marvellous exception to this rule. It is whep, at rare intervals experiences of per- feet Joy and happiness or visions of glo- rious loveliness. conn to one who is wrapped in deep slumber. But such ex- periences seldom occur in ordinary lives; only to those whose aspirations are for something else than mere animal lux uries and, material things.
 If such visions visit you be glad and thankful. They come when they list. Otherwise let us seek only the sweet, dreamless slumber of perfect health.
 To secure the perfect sleep interior and exterior conditions must cooperate. First, know that the tranquil mind is necessary. There is much prating about self control, It is not self control, but mental training. that one wants. To lose ones temper is a dead sure preparation for a restless night and dreams that savor of the in- fernal. When you know for certain the fact.that every violent fit of anger sows the seeds of serious illness and premature senility you will readily perceive that there Is in this life nothing worth getting angry about. This Is true.
 Preserve an even,- cheerful mind, free from anger. envy. malice. despondency or anxiety. If there Is nothing worth get ting angry about, all the more is there nothing worth worrying about. You can help worrying. Don't tai kto me, for I know exactly what I am saying, and l
 wish could write in letters six feet long
 the sentence You can help worrying" | And don't do tomorrow's work in your aA E..~.lr rA-ssa sa.wl.k t&nA too. Is warranted to destroy beauty.
 Having got your mind in proper trim, next attend to your bed and bedroom.
 Have bed to yourself if possible. That
 at least every respectable human being l Is entitled to. Have your bedroom and
 bed immediately clean. Let there be no boxes, old shoes or lint and dust catch | ing draperies or valancest under and around your bed. Old Emepror William, who lived. robust and active to the age
 of ninety-one, slept always upon a little | iron camp bedstead. No bed curtains I lambrequins, drapings or ribbon bows for him; not one. The most healthful bed

 Do not let the coverings upon your bed
 be heavy. If possible have for cold
 weather down guilt in addition to soft
 warm blankets. You would not like tc
 carry heavy ,-eoverlet or comfirtable around with you for eight hours of the 1 day Don't carry it at night Feather
 pillows are heating to the head and make | the hair fall out. Hair or chan pillow: l are better if you must use pillows. Many
 persons noted for their fine, erect figures
 never sleep on pillows. If you have g

 tains and villianous drape stuffs be tackled | around 1t. Tear them of. Let heavens

 woman who thought she was lady de clare there is always smell of sleep fin bedrooms. If people keep themselve: 1 and their rooms clean and well aired there is nothing of the kind. A bedroom nicely | kept is always as sweet as a rose.
 Even in winter wtsither: have your win
