THE REAL BEAUTY SLEEP

The old fashioned definition of beauty
sleep was the sleep that is taken before
midnight. Beauty sleep is the sleep a
woman gets after she has slept seven
hours and before she has slept nine
says a Viennese specialist.
A woman needs seven hours sleep for
the building up of her system. Then she
needs two hours more for the recupera-
ton of her body, and the extra two
hours will restore her complexion make
her eyes bright, take the wrinkles out of
her face, and keep her form elastic.
The woman who wishes to derive the
fullest benefit from her beauty sleep will
compose her mind before sinking off into
slumber. She will think pleasant thoughts,
Worrying thoughts make burrows in the
brow and set lines round the mouth. A
little light in a bedroom is a good thing
for some people, for It will act cheerf,lIIv
upon the nerves and drive away night
mare
Do not allow yourself to be Weakened
in the morning if you mean to get beau
ty sleep, or II you must be reused let II
be ever so gently. do not wake up with
start, with an alarm clock or in conse
quence of bell ringing. for these harsh
sounds will jar the nerves and DESTROY
the effect of the sleep.
The true beauty sleeper never goes to
bed without something to eat The girl
who wants good complexion will eat
some prunes before going to bed. and the
society woman who feels that her nerves
need stimulating will take an orange or
two with biscuit. The tired-out woman
will imbibe some form of milk, or perhaps
tiny cup of cream and biscuit.-Lon-

WHY A NEW YORKER is A
GOTHAMITE

This name Gotham was first applied to
the city of Manhattan in a book of humor-
Gus sketches called "Salmagundi" writ
ten about 1907 by Washington Irving in
collaboration with his brother Peter and
the poet Paulding. It was evidently in
tended to suggest that the people of New
York made undue pretentions to wisdom,
and that there were both satire and wit in
the suggestion is shown by the story of
the original Gothamites. Gotham was a
parish in Nottlnghamshire, England. The
old story tells how King John wished to
pass through the parish, but the people
there, fancying that the passage of the
king over route made it a public road
decided to prevent the transit by all pre-
tending to be crazy. Therefore, when the
king and his party arrived they found
every one of the Inhabitants employed in
some peculiarly foolish task. Thus a group
were joining hands around a thornbush
TO keep cuckoo from getting away;
some were trying to drown an eel others
dipping water with sieve, and so on
when the king saw these performances
he swore at the people for a pack of
idiots, and, turning, departed with all his
retinue. The Gothamites were delighted
with the success of their scheme for turn
Ing aside the king, regarding it as super
lattvely clever. After this Gotham came
to have the reputation of being a sort Of
headquarters for conceited fools In the
time of Henry VIII book entitled THE
Merry Tales of the Mad Men of Gotham"
was published. Among these was the
story of the Three Wise Men of Gotham, -
one of whose exploits was to go to sea in
bowl.-The Housekeeper

WHAT cline eUsYy MEANS

1t is easier for an operator to establish
a connection than reply line busy"
Recollection of this simple fact may per-
haps smooth out the asperities of a state
of mind evoked by a hasty conclusion
that the operator simply is Sinking. Fol-
low call into the main exchange for
example. You ask for a certain number.
The operator Immediately informs you the
line is busy. How does she know?
Simply by a little admonitory click in
the receiver when she tries to plug in"
on the line asked for She cannot tell
you who is taking on the line, how long
1t is has been in use, or how long 1t is
likely to be busy" All the information
she possesses is a Click" but it is suffi-
cient to advise her that some one of the
$50 other operators in the exchange had
prior call from or to that number Had
the line been clear, the effort to complete
the connection would have been no great
err than that required to get the click"
hence the task of informing caller that
the line is busy is just as much extra
labor-ln fact, 1T involves a double bur-
den as the subscriber will usually-repeat
the call until he is able to transact his
business. Obviously. therefore, the de-
sire of the operator is to establish the
connection when 1t is first called for. She
has no motive in doing otherwise.

was TO pull the kimono smoothly around

even If 1t should be decided that the
institution ought to be abolished there
is still the problem of the real live chap

about in friends clothng-that is, not
In borrowed raiment, but even as the
wolf who robes himself in the most styl-

of the lover, all the world chaperons a
lover; the worlds a chaperon and the
spooners are it's victims. While, there
fore, the chaperon may pass away as a
recognized institution, like the church,
the tariff and the measles, it will never
cease to be a living presence. For even
the beasts of the field and the fowl of
the air watch over the spooners, just
as elderly ladies and younger brothers
do. Much as one may sympathize, there
fore, with those who wish to abolish
chaperonage, the discouraging fact re-

do anything to which any one of the
other five objects, such as raising win

the conductor, who is a government Of

have to be assigned to each compart-

facilities on the railways, but he'll get

THE WORK OF sPINsrERs

We cheerfully recognize that Miss Kate
Kearney is doing very useful work in
warning girls against making undesira-
Bile marriages, but we cannot subscribe
to her statement that 1.-The best work in
the world is beng done by spinsters'
Certainly it is more important to make
good marriage than to advise others
to make good marriages so that we cam
not but feel that the young women who
take Miss Kearneys excellent advice are
really doing more important work than
she Is.
Miss Kearney cannot hope to secure the
general assent of the community to her
assertion that ''the best work in the
world is being done by spinsters" Much
the greater part of the community is
married, and 1t is bound to stand by the
high and holy state of matrimony 1t
cannot afford to admit that the work of
the spinsters is more important than the
work of married people, for that would
condemn itself

Let us play that there is rc spite
And that kindness is everywhere;
Let us play that am a. boy

HAcksLIDIne OF PHILADELPHIA

Following the greatest victory over
political machine ever achieved by any
city in the United States, Philadelphia
of her own choice-has gone back to
the same corrupt gang" which mis-
ruled and plundered her. By her own
free will the city has deserted a reform
admins tration for the one from which
she so valiantly strove to free herself.
PHILADELPHIA the Victorious has fallen!
Durham, who fed from the city in
fear OF Imprisonment one and one-halr
years ago, has returned, and again con-
trolls municipal affairs from the eleY-
enth floor of the Betz building. Shar-
ing his power as a twin boss, is State
Senator James P. McNichol of the con-
tracing combine" which was charged
with robbing the citizens of Philadel-
phia OF more than 100000. The new
mayor, John z. Reyburn, has barred his
neck to the yoke of the reinstated
bosses, daily confers with them, max
ing changes in his administration ana
appointing men to offices at their die
tation. City council. reorganized and
purified after the gas-lease agitation,
is once again subservient to the ma
chine. the old gang" drivers again
hold the reins; city party men are
frozen out, kept in the cold of useless
and archaic committees. And at the
head OF the department Oh PUBIC sdIeNS
at the head of the police force which
was taken out of politics and freed
from political assessments under the
reform director, Colonel Sheldon Potter
has been placed Henry Clay, man
who for twenty years has been tool
of public service corporations in city
councils, the man who championed the
very gas lease ordinance which, like
faint smear on the horizon, developed
into the tornado of reform.
Philadelphia has backslid. Her re-
form movement, like summer thun-
der shower, has passed. Her ardor for
good government has cooled. She
again has folded her hands in her lap
and with Snug. sanctimonious smile
has relapsed into apathy and content.
The city party, torn with internecine
warfare, is disrupted. John Weaver
hailed two years ago as the New Da-
vid.'' the Savior of his City," THE
Twentieth Century Moses'-after re-
turning to the gang, has gone out of
office reviled and maligned by those
who hailed him as a hero of heroes.
Philadelphia again is in the hands of
the most corrupt organization that has
ever held it's pestilent head over a city.

PUBLIC cHAPERoNs

Spring has definitely opened in the
middle west. The woman's Christian
Temperance union of Indianapolis has,
they say, lightly turned its fancy to
thoughts of love, and comes out with
the plan to have municipal chaperons
installed in the public parks. When the
news reached Cleveland 1t provoked the
opposition of the park policemen, who
assert that spooning is not only an in
violate right of park visitors, but is a
joy to the hearts of the custodians. We
welcome this division of opinion, for It
may initiate a great controversy over the
value of that ancient institution, the
chaperon, and result in definite nation
al attitude and policy
Spooners are very much in the dark

ing the chaperon. and less biased per-

tuition serves any other purpose than

It is an old story that America is the
land of hustle" Americans abroad arr
apt to rage helplessly at the slow goins
methods of the "old country" and de
clare that England is losing time in the
race for the worlds business by Its dila'
tory methods. Englishmen reply thai
they accomplish much more by going
about their business in more leisurelJ
fashion, and that they are not a nation
of neurotics.
Speed madness is distinct form OF
mental disease which has been recognized
and classified by American mental special
lists and many of the most eminent trans
atlantic alienists declare that half OF their
countrymen are its victims. The chief
symptom is the overpowering desire on
the part of the sufferer to save time, even
at the expense of the object for which the
time is supposed to be saved.
Typists on Boats
The latest manifestation of the speed
madness has been provided by the New
York municipality, which has installed a
force of typists and battery OF tyewrit-
ing machines on the Staten island ferry
boats. A couple of years ago the voyage
from Staten island, one Of the most popu-
lar residential suburbs, situated at the en-
trance to New York bay, occupied about
forty minutes. The city administration
bought the ferry service from the COM
pany which had been running it and In
stalled a new fleet of boats which made
the trip in twenty minutes. This was not
enough for the business men, victims OF
the speed madness. who lived on Staten
island. They demanded that more time be
saved, and the city has met their wishes
fhafr hrs
ness while they are on the way from their
homes to their offices.
Now dozens of pale. nerve strained men
spend the time which Englishmen would
spend In enjoying some of thelmost beau
tiful scenery in tn world, in debating
letters at lightning speed to harassed
typists. When the boat reaches the quay
these men snatch their letters, sealing
them as they go, and rush for the postal
rillar box at the entrance to the ferry
waiting room.
The example of the city has created
demand for similar facilities from the peo-
pie who use the elevated and underground
railways to reach their offices. They de-
clare that they are wasting from twenty
to forty minutes every day on the trip,
and that they are handicapped In the
business race by the superior facilities
offered to the Staten islanders.
All this seems no doubt to be eminent
ly "hustling' and busineeslike. It is
declared that important contracts are
often gained by the saving of minutes
thus made possible. But what about the
other side of the picture. Important
contracts are probably just as often lost
because the writers of the letters on
the ferryboats have not waited to arrive
at their offices and read the letters
awaiting them there which contain in
entirely altering the conditions

Express Lifts
The craze for speed that loses time is
manifested in many other ways. Every
business building in New York and Chi
cago is equipped with dozens of high
speed lifts. There are local lifts,
Los Angeles herald., 1907-08-18
AccuseAmericans of Speed Mania
From the London Express

which stop at all the floors; and Their
are express" lifts, which make no stol
before the tenth or the twentieth story
There are intermediate" lifts, whicl
stop at every fifth story. and so on
Dozens of busy Americans may be seer
waiting at the entrance hall of a build
ing for the express" lift, which make:
no stop before it reaches their floor while
two or three local lifts have completed
the Journey. They are taking the short
cut that's the longest way" No Ameri-
can would think of running up one flight
of stairs. 1t might take thirty seconds,
but he waits two or three minutes for
the lift, which makes the trip in five sec
onds.
The same system is in use on the ell
evated and underground railways In New
York. Express" trains are run at in
tervals. They stop at every fifth or sixth
station. and no busy American would
think OF taking a local train If there is
an express train to be had in quarter
Of an hour or so.
This does not look much like
"hustli but it involves all the worry
and nerve strain of the most intense eff
fort. The man who is waiting for the
lift or for the express train Is tuning
and fretting, cursing the delay of the
service and using up more brain and
nerve substance than an Englishman
would In a month of ordinary business.
Race for Riches
The race to get rich is another symptom
of the craze for speed Few Americans
save. They are dazzled by the great for
tunes made by a comparatively few men
in Wall street. and in land and building
speculation. The slow process of adding
penny to penny and pound to pound Is
beneath their notice. They plunge wildly
into speculation. and the great fortunes
built up by the spectators and manipu-
lators who become millionaires and
"multis" are contributed by the thousands
of small business and professional men
who are in hurry to get rich. They ex-
pend more worry and effort in trying to
make a fortune IN a week than an Eng
lishman would spend in making the same
sum by the ordinary and orderly exercise
of his business profession
The bucket shop and the "get-rich-
quick swindler flourish in America as
nowhere else in the world It is all a
symptom of the speed madness.
The speed madness manifests itself even
in the sports Of the younger generation.
