The reverse clutch necklace appar-

society as well as on the stage.
Whether 1t is artistic depends on in
dividual fancy. Startling 1t certainly
is, for 1t makes 1t difficult to determine
whether the wearer's progress is pro-
cessional or recessional. There is
nothing out of the ordinary about the
necklace except that 1t is reversed so
that the pendant hangs behind instead
OF in front. Worn over a street frock
it is not so astounding. but with even
ing dress II is likely to make the be-
holder go through the traditional eere-
mony OF rubbing his eyes. The pend

TO DANISH INSOMNIA
SOME SIMPLE METHODS OF IN
DUcING SLEEP.
Drugs Always the Last Thing to Be
Reeommended-Lisht Supper
Frequently Will Cause
QroWsiness.

When a woman has insomnia she
had better resort to normal means of
getting rid of it than to take drugs, for
habit has much to do both with sleep
and the inability to induce it, and If
some simple remedy can be found to
break the custom of hearing the clock
chime the hours through the night, no
injury will be done to the health.
; Sleeplessness. unless caused by i'll
health, and sometimes even then, Is
largely a result of nervousness, and
therefore whatever relaxes the nerves
is likely to effect a cure. Incidentally
persons whose appetites are not good
are not likely to eat enough at the
evening meal to last them through the
night. and the stomach becoming
empty. they are kept awake. For such
sufferers light supper. taken just be-
fore getting into bed, may induce sleep.
When late meal is taken to bring
drowsiness only easily digested foods
are to be INDUCED in. for a heavy meal
that stimulates the digestive organs
may often bring sleeplessness.
One of the best insomnia remedies
for a nervous woman is to take a hot
bath just before getting into bed. In
this bath it is not necessary that
there be any soothing ingredient, for
the heat is relaxing. In the tub the
body should be Immersed for Is min
utes in water that is hot without be-

ing exhausting. After leaving the tub
the person must go directly to bed
and sleep in a well ventilated room.
1t is excellent to have glass Of
milk on stand by the bed where it
can be reached in the night without
getting up. Then, If wakefulness
comes, the liquid should be taken slow
ly. and it is likely to be helpful in
quieting the nerves of the body, as
well as of the stomach. Those per-
sons who cannot drink milk will find
beer a good substitute, and English

for those who can digest 1t, and IL 1t
is diluted one-half with ale, a glassful
taken before going to bed is often
recommended by physicians for women
who are anaemic and nervous.
Lack of sufficient ventilation in the
room is frequently the cause of sleep
less nights. for unless the lungs have
enough oxygen they cannot work prop
erly, and restlessness and nervousness

to have too much fresh air in a room

common error, and one responsible
for sleeplessness, is to have bed so
placed that it faces the light. This
hurts not only the eyes but the head.
for 1t affects the nerves. To avoid
such difficulty. if the room is so shaped
that there is but one place for the
bed. put the pillows at the foot and
thus protect the eyes.
When warm weather is the cause OF
ones staying awake at night an alco-
hol sponge may bring cure. For this
the spirits may be diluted to the pro-
portion of a tablespoonful Of alcohol
to a cup of cool water. 1t takes but a
few minutes to sponge OF the body
in this solution, and sleep usually fol-
lows the cooling application.
