lungs and digestive organs.
. The carriage Of the body wniie
awake is also largely affected by its
position during the third or more OF
the day spent In sleep.
One should always sleep on the
right side. The body should be ex-
tended to its full length. and the
head thrown well back. The lett
arm should be thrown as far back as
possible, thus expanding the chest
When one lies on the left side an
unusual weight comes just over tne
heart, which should. of course, be ielt
as free as possible.
Never sleep with the arms ex-
tended above the head. or the limbs
drawn up, for this interferes with the
circulation. It Is also mistake 10

cramp the heart and digestive organs.
The lower the pillow the better.
High holsters hold the head at an
unusual angle. Many people are
made round shouldered by using TOO
high pillows. The habit Of sleeping
with the head at such an angle Is
soon acquired. To cure oneself II IS

It is not enough to ventilate the
sleeping room at night and in the
morning. Drafts of air should pass

The goal of the woman from the
out Of town districts as soon as pros
perity shines upon her is to make
the splendor OF that prosperity widely
known by betaking herself to the city,
stopping at the hotel the most gilded.
the costliest and most emblazonea
upon the public attention.
To be able to pay stupendous
price for the ,"royal suite" in one OF
the biggest hotels of the republic
is the acme of bliss in many minds.

hired suite Of rooms in new no.
tel at the rate Of rs pounds day,
exclusive of meals, circumstance
that created far more envy in the
breast Of most women than If they
had learned that this same man had
hired large estate at the same
price.
Aside from those who have rooms
in the hotels, thousands throng the
corridors daily merely for the Joy
of participating temporarily in the
coveted glories. They make appoint
ments to meet their friends in the
empire gallery. the red room, the
gold lobby or the green salon. Trey

about the gorgeous corridors and pub
lie compartments. Peacock Alley"
one famous hotel corridor is named
because Of the display to be seen.
The various dining rooms from noon
until evening are thronged with wo-
men. many of them unattended by
men who find in this public eating
and drinking agreeable substitute for
social functions in private houses
