SLEEP FOR THE SLEEP Ess.
How a French Specialist Goes to Work
to Woo slumber for His Wide-
Awake Patients.

A French specialist has come to the
rescue OF persons afflicted with insom.
mia. His method is somewhat vaguely
described as 'lulling the wideawakes
to Inconsistencies much as babies
are put to slumber."
1T is a perfect palace of peace that
he has opened in lovely Touraine,' z
says the Ladyss Pictorial. Here is
never disturbing sound. The silence
is broken only by the absolutely mo-
notonous and soothing tick, took, tick
of solid grandfather clocks, and the
scarcely perceptible drip of unseen
fountains.
Everything is seen through ceru.
lean haze, everybody moves in list
slippers, the air is fresh but full OF
faint perfume. Before the eyes OF
very refractory patients slowly reyolve
colored balls, not the smallest rose
leaf being allowed to crumple in any
bed, each being so designed that there
is no possibility of the body growing
weary. Here, in fact, the wooing OF
sleep has been made positive sci.
ence, and 1t is said no one can keep
awake here, however hard he may
try"

MRS. MALAPRoP OF. TODAY.
Modern Rival Of the Famous charao
ter That Made Richard sher-
dan Famous.

In an uptown social circle II Is mat.
ter OF gossip that a certain charming
young woman never lets her mother
out of ear shot because the older
woman's conversational transports
need to be continually checked. She
Is rich even for New York, but she
outdoes all the Mrs. Malaprops In
town.
When she returned from Paris last
year some one asked her II she had
seen the tuilleries Why, certainly
not!" she responded, drawing herself
up majestically. Two too mitch sense
to push In where I'm not wanted, and
II the tuilleries had wanted us to visit
them they would have called frst.
They didn't, did they. Carrier she
asked, turning to her embarrassed
daughter. The latter explained to her
mother that the tuilleries was pal
ace Of the French kings. and that It
was filled with works OF art. like the
louvre. The mother thereupon re-.
joined: "Spealin' Of works of art,
you can break up all tho rest II you'll
only leave me the belladonna and the
dying gladiolus. Did ever tell You
of the artist my daughter met In Rome?
He went mad over the shape OF her
hand. and nothin' would do but he
should make bust of It."
The daughter had one thing to re-
joice over. however, and that was
that nobody this sjde of tho Atlanta
would be likely to hear OF the message
that she had heaid her mother send to
visitor by servant In London
hotel.
Just tell him." she said, gazing Ian
guidly through her lorgnon at tho card
