your finger right on the weak spot. Your whole trouble comes from not be- ginning the day aright."

So many schoolgirls have exactly the same trouble that I wonuer very much why it is that their mothers and teach CTS do not help them out of it, and that their own good sense does not come to the rescue.
 The truth is that a successful day for schoolgirl begins at nine o'clock the night before. At that hour she should say good night to everybody and go to bed. If she has had dinner early and feels bit hungry, it will do her no harm to take very simple luncheon of bread and milk before she goes to her room. Then without un- due delay, she should undress, say her prayers, put out the light and go to bed and to sleep. It Is the wretched habit of sitting up until half-past ten or II in a warm room, with the fam lily talking, singing, playing games or the piano, or perhaps studying too late, that makes girls drowsy in the morning.
 Sleeping in an ill-ventilated room helps along. Be very sure that you have fresh air to breathe while you are asleep, and protect yourself against cold if necessary, by wearing a gar ment of outing flannel or of some woolen stuff instead Of too thin night dress. If girl goes early to bed and sleeps soundly all night, she will be able to rise as soon as she Is called. Haste in the morning upsets one ter ribly, and literally pursues one like a 1end all the rest of the day.
 Rise in time to take a sponge bath from head 10 foot, to arrange your hair, and to have a few tranquil mo- ments for devotion. Never think of leaving your room to begin any day without kneeling in prayer to the Heavenly Father Who has watched over you during the night, and Who will guard you during the day. Eat your breakfast slowly, gather your books and papers with deliberation and set on to school with a light heart. Hurry and worry devour ones ease of mind and make it impossible for one to do jdsticesto her own powers.
 I think 1 can tell ia looking around the group of girls which of them are in the habit of beginning the day ip this leisurely and sensible manner, and which tumble out of bed and into their clothes and lose their wits and their tempers before they have at. tackled the days business.
 An ancient philosopher once said that there was everything in keepins an even mind. Those of us who have a good deal to do in the course of day or a week. are well aware that VI accomplish nothing if we lose our heads and rush where we should in- stead go slowly.
 So great a thinker as Francis Bacon, who vas a very learned man. said iD an essay an Dispatch that above all things order and distribution and sin. gling out Of parts Is the life of dss- patch. For he that doth not divide will never enter veil into business To choose time is to save time, and an unreasonable motion is but beating the air. | knew . wise man that had it for a by-vord when he ssv men has tsning 10 s conclusion. stay a little that us may make an end the sooner"
