that the excitement was maintained

For the sIeeninp Room.

Any color, however, must be dealt
with carefully. Too much color robs
a sleeping room of its motive to pro-
duce a subdued atmosphere with a
sense of space and complete free
dom from crowded effects.
Even the paper on the walls should
not convey an atmosphere OF crowd
ed designs. A wall covering that
shows broad plain masses OF delicate
tint or quiet color, relieved with a
delicate pattern, is far preferable.
Do not have too many pieces Of
furniture or too large ones in the
room. This must be regulated by
the capacity of the room, which
mus, not be overcrowded even at the
price of banishing some fine pieces
Of furniture.
In fact, the true way Of decorat-
ing a sleeping room is to place there
IN only that which is necessary.
There is an endless variety of
pretty muslins and cretonnes and
chintz that may be used for draperies
and hold the advantage over other
materials in that they may be
cleaned with soap and water.
Accessories that are likely to catch
and retain dust and impurities
should be exiled, and upholstered
pieces could be put away with impu-
nifty. Closet doors and doors be-
tween adjoining rooms may well be
replaced with pretty, fresh chintz
curtains.

THIS MAY BE EFFECTED BY
MASSAGE AND BATHs.

Bag Punching Fattens and Strength

fortunately Only One Arm Comes
Into Play.
The following course of simple
exercises may be easily performed,
and which, II persevered in, will
impart strength and symmetry to the
hand and forearm
Hold the arm either fully extend
ed or bent at the elbow. Then open
the hand widely, using all the avail
able force and spreading fingers and
thumb as far apart and as far back
as possible. Then, after a moment,
close the hand forcibly, clinching the
fist. Hold II thus a moment, then
open It; and so on, opening and
closing the hand until the forearm is
fatigued.
For these muscles, indeed for the
general development Of the forearm,
the following exercises will be found
most valuable.
AS before, hold the right arm either
extended or bent at the elbow.
Cllnch the fist firmly, thumb upper
most. Now, still holding the hand
firmly clinched, bend It downward
from the wrist as far as possible,
and hold II so for a moment. Then
return to position. Repeat again and
again until the forearm is tired. Pro-
ceed in the same manner with the
left hand.
Hold arm as for preceding exer-
cises. Clinch hand forcibly. Then
turn the hand upward from the
wrist. After moment return to po-
sition. Repeat until tired.
Same with left hand.
This is simply a combination of
the two preceding. Turn the closed
fist downward, then upward, press
ing firmly in each direction until the
forearm is fatigued, first with right
and then with left hand.
Hold arm as for preceding exer-
cises, fist tightly clinched. Now turn
the hand sharply inward toward the
body. Then, after a moment, return
to position. Repeat until tired, first
with right and then with left hand.
Hold arm as for preceding move
ments, turn clinched hand outward.
After a moment return to position.
Repeat, using all available force, un-
I'll tired, first with right and then
with left hand.
Combination OF exercises Nos.
and 6, adding girth and shapeliness
to slender forearm. This is one OF
the most valuable exercises know.
Immediately after these exercises
bathe the arms in warm water and
massage with good skin food, rub
bing from the Wrists gently back to-
ward the elbows. A bath OF pure
olive oil will also work wonders in
the way of softening the skin and
rounding out the general contour
