~ ARADoXICALLY speaking, we
- breathe that we may live. and
We eat that we may live and be
healthy; but we sleep that we
may not only live and be healthy. but
that we may be attractive.
There is certainly nothing which
''knits up the raveled sleeve OF care
like sleep; but It does more than this
it is a great progenitor Of beauty.
SO much for the bare assertion. but
let us now seek 10 find what beauty
sleep engenders. under what circum-
stances. by what means. In the first
place. just what attributes Of beauty
are due TO restfuI and refreshing sleep?
No woman who has ever awakened.
heavy eyed and weary, and taken
a peep into a mirror. will ask that
question twice; 4 sallow complexion.
swollen. dark-circled eyes, dun, unkempt
hair, dry lips, wrinkled skin-an these
are the eternal heralds of improper and
unhealthy slumber. And yet there is a
mode of sleeping which will show in
the morning a delicately flushed COM
plexion, bright eyes, glossy hair, red.
moist lips, smooth, soft skin-a better
course OF treatment than any beauty
doctor could prescribe.
Instruction Is Needed.
The present generation sorely needs
instruction in the gentle art of sleep
ing. In the first place. we sleep either
too much or too little. The average
healthy adult should sleep from seven
TO nine hours nightly. Youth and age
require more time-from eight to ten
hours-and infancy most Of all. four
teen hours at least. The old adage of
the beauty sleep" before midnight is
now an exploded theory. but since most
of the world transacts its business in
daylight, it is well to arise as early as
ing to or in the morning seems the
ideal time for slumber. Too much sleep,
however, Is as bad as too little, and the
habit of Oversleeping comes in time to
be almost disease. Many an Unfortu-
nate has envied that remarkable pro-
lessor who, at seventy, wrote: LAS
grow older I find l need more and more
sleep. Whereas two hours once sufficed
me, l must now take almost four" But.
alaSi he seems to be q rare bird indeed
among us sOmnolent mOrtals.
After the duration of Slumber the next
point to observe IS the ventilation ard
heating Of the sleeping room. Our
grandmothers insisted on waTmth-the
hotter the better. We. on the contrary,
IN the fond belief that we are ny
gicnic," assert that cold and fresh air
are the two essentials. To a certain de-
gree this is true Blu draft is
both unpleasant and injurious, and so
