Cures for SLeepieSSnesS.

Many woman is troubled more or less
with sleeplessu ess. Often, resort is had
TO injurious remedies to produce
sleep. when a knowledge Of simple,
drugless methods would harmlessly at
tain the same result.
One exceedingly simple remedy that
has been handed down for generations,
and one that has been found most ef-
| fectve in producing sleep. is TO lie per-
fectly still in bed, close the lids, then
raise the eyes as high as possible, still
keeping the lids closed. There may be
at first a slight feeling of straining of
the muscles. but after a time this will
pass of Thinking gradually becomes
impossible, and the patient gradually
sinks into a deep dreamIess slumber
One woman found great relief in this
process even after she had had recourse
10 drugs for years.
Massage. of course. is good but In
lieu or having a masseure at hand the
friction aroused by a coarse Turkish
towel is found most soothing. Onion
soup. IL taken at dinner has been
known 70 produce sleep, and the recipe
for making the soup is as follows:
Peel three onions and cut them into
dice; melt an ounce of butter in a stew
pan and throw in the onions, shaking
them about until a golden brown; then
stir IN teaspoonful OF flour and add A
pint and half of meat OF fowl liquor,
"a a. biAAS - AioA tONalfdOlt lite same
amount OF water; simraer for an hour.
then rub through the sieve and put
back in the saucepan. add pepper. salt.
and IL too thin a little butter and -four
together, and add the soup. Boil for
three minutes before serving
For another recipe OF onion soup take
four or FIVE Spanish onions and boil in
milk with salt and pepper. thiCken with
a little -four and add half pint of
good stock. strain through a jelly bag
or sieve and boil for a couple of minutes
before serving
Another OId-fashioned remedy which
has proven efficacious in making one
sleep is the use Of a hop pillow II is
said to be particularly soothing and 20
induce sleep quickly. The hot lemon
ade before retiring is a weli-known
remedy.

SHORT DANCING DRESSES
FOR GIRLS NOW THE VOGUE

There is no reason why an extremely
pretty summer evening gown should not
be procured for very little While the
embroidered lawn and lace dresses are
unques tionably effective. stiI many OF
the most attractive fracks are the sim
plest. and If the materials are good the
price is always OF an unknown quantity
TO the uninitiated. Such pretty imita-
tion laces are TO be found nowadays
and materials are so cheap that there
is no necessity for a dinner or dancing
dress costing a small fortune.
The great objection TO the average
cheap dressmaker is the fit of the gown
upon which so much depends. but If one
can be found who can give good lines
20 the figure. then the hand work can
easily be dispensed with.
In fact. the only safety in ar inexpen-
sive gown is to have only so much trim
ming as is necessary for the prevailing
fashion. For a young girl. with her
slim figure, the prettiest evening gown
she can have is made with a deep lace
or lace edged bertha. short puff sleeve.
with a lace ruf1e. a ribbon girdle. with
long sash ends. and a skirt made full.
with two or more deep 1ounces This
style is equally good in all white or in
a fiowered moUsseline. It can easily
be laundered. and If well fitted full
lawn petticoat is provided It does not
require a silk foundation. AS a rule
light gowns are not so good made up
directly upon silk. as the lines are apt
to be a trifle hard. a separated silk
petticoat may. of course, be worn and
IL is well 10 have such a skirt on hand.
The gown described above can be IS

Light Housekeeping.

With all the many words that are
uttered every day in praise of light
housekeeping. the ready-to-eat-and-ser
things in its favor, there are certain dis
advantages which are not always taken
into consideration.
Light housekeeping really means the
getting along without a servant, and
getting the meals for yourselves. usual
~ these ready-cooked things Some
times bachelor girls. who live two or
three in the same little suite of apart
ments, makes a convenience of IL for
the two unimportant meals Of the day,
dining, either at some restaurant or
with private family
The greatest objection TO il is that il
is apt TO become too light; so often you
don't want TO stop this or that bit Of
interesting work TO get UP an appetizing
luncheon for just yourselves, and you
get along with a hastv luncheon Of
whatever happens to be around
Naturally. you don't eat a xreat deal
nothing is Particularly appetizing; but
before long YOU sink into the habit of
not bothering TO stop for luncheon and
perhaps horther less and less for break
fast, with the result that you run down
IN health. perhaps not dangerously CO.
but at least perc@ otibly so.
This Is particularly to be avoided n
you are brain worker, yet II Is often
brain workers who fall into just such
errors.
When H1nt housekeeping is carried
out by a system. religiously on the
housekeeping plan, IL las great adyan-
tages-apparent on the face of them-to
those people who have studios and
apartments.
Living is undoubtedly cheaper that
way, which is the first considera ton OF
the people who are trying to get a
start. And everything can be as whole
some and as nourishing as In the usual
way, If only a little more time and
thought are expended In the effort to
save money.

most decorative as well as very useful.
1t is a radish holder and Is made with
a crystal plate in oval or round shape
with nickel brackets rising from IL. each
of which terminates in ring socket
These Tirr sockets are OF different
sizes to hold large and small radishes.
and when the entire holder is filed the
picturesque red vegetables present a
most appetizing sight In the center

spoon.
The second novelty is A vegetable
server in the form of a crystal tray,
which supports three or four crystal
dishes shaped 10 fit exactly into the
circle OF the tray. This allows of sew
eral vegetables being passed at the
same time, and a prettier effect cannot
be imagined than vari-colored legumes
served In this sparkling transparent
dish.
The new glassware for serving liquids
also has increased attractions this sum
mer. and a barrel of ice water is
unique substitute for a pitcher. II is
OF heavy Opaque glass surrounded by
slaves of nickel and having a nickel
faucet at one end. The barrels are the
size OF a large pitcher and are en-
ploy,ed for lemonade as well as drinking
water.
Quite the latest thing in the way Of
lemonade sets is an exceptionally tall
and high spreading glasses. These come
with or without tray and are deco
rated in a very effective manner with
delicate sprays and flowers. giving the
effect OF the more costly Bohemian
glass

The way in which meals are served In
hot weather is equally as important as
the way in which they are cooked, and
she is a wise housewife who makes a
study OF having her table present a cool,
fresh appearance SpOtless. stiff linen
is. OF course. the first step toward this
end. and clean table cloth and napkins
should be supplied never less than twice
a week and in most cases every two
days.
The second step-and this has less
consideration from the average house
wife-is the use of glassware for the
service of the various courses. Sum
mer hangings and summer furniture
have for many years helped TO give a
seasonable atmosphere 10 a house in hot
weather, but summer tableware has not
until this year become a vogue. and il is
in different varietieS Of glassware that it
finds happiest expression.
For general use cut glass is not prac-
tical. so il is the heavier. less expensive
crystal dishes which are used TO replace
as far as possible the service of china or
porcelain. The former are made doubly
serviceabJe by rims or standards of
brightest nickel.
Salad bowls. trays and entree dishes
of every sort and description offer new
temptations to the woman shopper who
takes UP this recent fad. If she have
