A Headache Cure.
From Harper's Bazaar.

From Harper's Bazaar.
at Is so strange, DOCTOR" complained a
woman patient, recently, that when have
had perfectly good nights sleep should
SO often wake up with headache"
How many pillows do you have under
your head?" asked the physician.
zone thin pillow" was the answer.
"Try two fairly thick Ones" the doctor
advised, adding that many congestiye head
aches We're caused by people sleeping with
their heads too low. The blood settles in
the head and the sufferer wakes with duh
feeling or throbbing pain. Persons subject
to catarrhal headache should be careful u
have their heads high enough at night.
In cases of headache or facial neuralgia
where mustard would be perhaps too severe,
a mixture of white of egg and red pepper
may be safely used. II will be found quite
as effective as the mustard. but il will not
blister nor leave unslghtly red blotches
even on a tender skin. II can safely be ap-
piled at the base of the brain for that
headache in the back of the neck" which
begins TO be complained of at about the
time when the storm and stress of the holi-
days have exhausted the nervous energy.

An Epic on the Sofa.
From the Taller.

From the Tatter
The only article of furniture that has had
an epic all to itself Is the sofa, though. con-
si6ering the many hours of sweet repose
which must have been spent upon it by
tired humanity, 1t deserves to have had
many. Cowper's placid poem upon it was
inspired by his friend. Lady Austen. who
suggested the sofa as subject for his
muse, and out of this beginning grew the
whole structure of .'The Task IN The
Sofa Cowper opens with historical de-
duction of seats from the stool to the sofa"

capuchn order the latter of liberty silk
edged with marabou or of the same ma
terial as the cloak lined with ecru gulpufe.
TIE new sleeves demand cloaks rather than
coats for evening wear, and the former are
certainly comfortable as well as plctur-
esque when we'll made.
A pretty American girl wore one of these
cloaks to the opera the other night. The
material was cashmere of a lovely lancret
blue shade and cut after the fashion of an
umbrella skirt On the hem were five rows
of marabou and between each row English
embroidery worked in silver thread. the
lining was OF pearl gray chiffon arranged
in accordion plaitings. charming effect
was obtained by the pale gray chiffon show
ing through the openwork embroidery. In
the case of this particular cloak the hood
was an elaborate affair of lancret bleu mir
ror velvet edged with marabou. the long
ends of which fell over the dress in front
*
Marabou is enjoying a field day and
is making its fluffy appearance in every
possible and impossible shade. A Rue de
la Paix milliner is making a speciality of
opera hoods fashioned almost entirely of
this feathery fur, fur feathery trimming.
Yesterday l visited her atelier to make
their acquaintance. She had them in many
different shades but there were two hoods
that particularly struck my fancy. One
was entirely of shell pink marabou and
rose petals III the SAINT 3ldue. tHe IoSo
petals arranged in sort of fringe di-
viding the rows of marabou. The lining
was softly ruched chiffon and there were
wide chiffon strings to be tied in a big
loose bow under the chin. The other hood
that captivated my fancy was of ivory
white marabou and plated frills of crepe
de chine. Close to the front at the left
side there was a large pink rose of great
beauty and the wide pink crepe strings
would make a delightful frame for a
dimpled face.
Just word more about marabou. For
morning and afternoon wear the somber
shades alone are approved such as nat
ural' gray. seal and black but for the
decoration of evening cloaks it is to be
seen In every known pastel shade.
There is a friendly rivalry among girs
this winter as to which one can evolve the
most stunning and original dressing jacket
and matinee. One dainty Partisan has
made herself a namesake jacket. as she
calls it, trimmed with marguerites-her
name hower-cut out of lace and disposed
about the edge of the short kimono coat in
motif style.
Soft moss-green velvet is folded about the
low U-shaped neck, tied in bow at the
bust and the short, stubby ends allowed to
fall to the waist line. Loops of velvet catch
the two longest points of the short kimono-
like sleeves. Another clever girl has. with
the assistance of her maid, created the
smartest kind of a matinee out of an old
ball gown of rose crepe de chine. She has
trimmed it with long lines of cluny lace,
the sole worthy remains of a last sum-
mer's gown. ChouX and long-knotted ends
of black velvet ribbon paced at the
back of the square empire lace yoke and
hang to the end Of the short pointed
train.

An interesting popularity of the frock of
today is the Importance of its meaning
rather than its great accuracy of fit. I do
not want to convey the idea that clumsi-
ness of cut is pardonable, but to accentuate
the fact that the frock nowadays is looked
upon in a broader way and as whole.
1t is only when she orders a cloSe-ittng
tailor-made coat that the modern mondaine
IS fussy about the fitting There is one
thing, however. on which she does insist.
and that is that her frocks shall not nip
anywhere and give her strained feeling
about the arms chest. She prefers the
easy armhole to the tight and the
front slightly bloused. to the fronts tightly
strained over the figure; in other words,
she demands tailoring or dressmaking that
does not make her uncomfortably conscious
of her clothes And SO marked is 1t, this
change of mind on the part of the up-to-
date woman, that it is positively sign of
the dressmaker of the day before yesterday
that she makes the fit the first qualifica-
ton of a frock. l met woman recently
wearing a gown perfect to fit. but
impossible from an artistic viewpoint as to
remind me of the lady in the novel Nancy
Stair who wore a gown with many trim
mings. none of which had any meaning"
1t is that her frocks have meaning that the
elegante of today insists.
