FEMININE Ingenuity Is Busy Day and Night Trying
Answer to the Universal Cry How Garry Our Dearest
Trinkets With Us When Our Gowns Are Pocletess?"
BY LOUISE e. DEW,
-HH perplexing problem Of pockets

woman Of to-day, with different
- degreea Of interest, but ON one

k@HH perpleXing problem Of pockets
engages the attention of every
woman OF to-day, with different
Ia degrees Of interest, but on one
point all agree, and that Is that
the sheath skirt forbids a suggestion of
protuberance, which would mar the
sylph-like proportions Of the average fig
ure.
However, there Is rumor adoat among
modistes that the emancipated woman is
rebelling at her pocketless gowns, espe-
clally those designed for street wear, and
that within few months she will demand
pockets, or at least wear them by proxy,
If there Is no other way out Of the diff
Guilty. If this prophecy comes to pass 1t
will mean voluminous skirts again, and
many gathers in place Of the trim tailor fit
SO dear to the heart Of both stout and
slender women. But this is of little i'm
port compared to pocketless existence.
Even now designers are being besieged
by women who are In favor Of this impor-
tant addition to their gowns, and one ar
. dent exponent of independence declares
she will set the fashion herself If her
dressmaker does not fall in with her ideas
and crafty her desire for this one comfort
at least
Another clever young woman who con-
slders pockets necessity def1ed her tailor
and by dint Of threatened humiliation Of
the unfortunate man she gained her point
and secured In her Jacket five repositories
constrained to carry daily as a business
woman.
Within the fronts Of the Jackets two
pockets held her letters, notebook, pencil
and check book. She felt as independent
as any man. as there was a place for
everything. On the outside two other
pockets invited her finger tips on cold
days, as well as a fresh handkerchief,
gloves neatly folded, or bit of flat
parcel. Above this pocket was a change
pocket for carfare and incidental expenses
such as the daily newspaper, the glass Of
vichy, or the inevitable bunch Of violets
which made life worth living and the day
one of joyousness. The larger pockets were
sufficiently capacious to hold vest
pocket edition, a guide book or popular
periodical.
She, however, was not content, as bags
at wrist or waist line were distasteful to
her. Therefore. she added two other pock-
cts to her dress skirt, which held addi-
tional letters or papers, fat and not bulky,
thus giving her seven pockets in one cos
tune. When travelling she had pocket
/ in her petticoat and wore suspended from
| her belt under her dress skirt two pock-
| cts made of duck, with patent fasteners,
! thus protecting her valuables. She carried
no jewels with her, having left them in
her safe deposit box, but a linen pocket
| holding her return ticket and the bulk of
| her money she wore suspended from her
] neck.
| Apropos Of bona fde pockets, tiny ones
in sleeve cuffs are useful for the powder
box, SO indispensable in some localities;

HOW SLEEP MAY BE WOODED.
Movements of the Feet Will Quiet the
 Nervous Brain.

Movements of the Feet Will Quiet the
 Nervous Brain.
 Most of the mental devices for woo. ing sleep have failed because they have nearly always tried to resort to "local treatment;" in other words, they have made homeopathic attempt to stor thinking by thinking about something else-a process which might also be called elimination by substitution" But all thinking, spontaneous or forced, draws more or less blood to the brain, prevents deep inhalations and bars the gate to the kingdom of dreams. Any device, on the other hand, which will make one take deep, long breaths spon. taneously Qhe invariable forerunner of sleep may be counted upon as a gen. uine remedy for insomnia. Even deep breathing which is forced Is better than any purely mental attempt to win sleep. But if the deep breathing can be produced involuntarily one is sure of passport to Nodland.
 After several nights of experiment to this end the present writer decided to apply the principle adopted by the masseurs, who begin their manipula. tions 'at the point farthest from the seat of difficulty" which, in the case of insomnia, would be the feet Lying on the right side, with the knees to- gether, and considerably flexed, the victim of insomnia should begin to pedal both his feet slowly up and down, with the movement entirely ip the ankles. The pedaling should keep time with the natural rhythm of res. piration and be continued until 1t is followed by deep and spontaneous breathing.
 Several people who have tried this remedy report that involuntary deep breathing invariably begins before they have pedaled up and down a dozen times. In obstinate cases, of Insomnia the patient may need to keep up the pedaling two or three minutes, or even more, with intermissions, if necessary. The treatment may also be varied by moving the feet alternately, instead of simultaneously, though the latter meth. cd has proved the more speedily efflca- cious in the cases known to the writer. The explanation of the result obtained is probably simple. The blood is pump. ed from the head, and with the re. moval of brain tension general re- taxation follows, with sequent deep resniration and it's resulting gleeD.- Good Housekeeping.
