Reading in bed, like most ~luxurfes
can be overdone; in fact, there seems
TO be only one excuse for this fascinat-
Ing way Of ending the day, says the
Family Doctor. Certain people find
that their worries accumulate in their
brains after bedtime their nerves are
at high tension, and their minds are
actively at work trying to- solve prob
lens that should have been left behind
In the city.
Going to bed with the brain in such
a state means that. with nothing to
distract the thoughts. hearing nothing
and seeing nothing in the darkness, i'm
agination has full sway, and hours Of
wakefulness may be the result. Such
81 man. we think, will find half an
hours reading in bed a great help.
With careful attention paid to the
quality and position Of the light, no

afternoon Grandma Orde in
formed the river boss with a
shrewd twinkle that she want
ed him surely at home the following
evening.

young people for a candy pull" said
she.
"Who, mother?" asked Orde.

early hour after supper. Orde stepped
into the hall to help them with their
wraps. He was surprised as he ap-
preached Carroll Bishop to lift her
cloak from her shoulders to find that
the top of her daintily poised head,
with its soft. fine hair, came we'll be-

her poise. her slender grace Of move
