BEST AID TO BEAUTY
IS PLENTY OF SLEEP

The best aid TO beauty is sleep. One
should sleep from eight to nine hours
out of the twenty-fOug, If possible II
this is so, then thought should be given
10 the room where SO much Of our time
Is spent
The average bedroom is not only too
crowded for good taste, but for health
1t should first be large and airy, with
windows on two walls If possible. For
sunlight is one Of the best purifiers we
possess.
The bedroom should always be fitted
with a fireplace whether one uses It for
a fire OF not, as IT helps enormously to
Ventilate a room.
Given this sort OF room a woman
should certainly be able to furnish it
along lines Of health and good taste.
But generally she does not She fills it
with all sorts Of absolutely unnecessary
things, which soon develop into regular
germ traps. But the woman Of taste
Will furnish her bedroom.

ZINC ON TABLES

ZINC covered tables save a great deal

are easy to keep Immediately clean.
Nothing is better for the purpose than

z OR the woman who can afford
separate wrap for every occasion
the matter Of the selection OF a pattern
is an easy matter. but not all Of us
have purses which bulge enough for
that and have to think carefully In
consequence.
In selecting a long coat for evening
wear We sometimes are forced 10 have
one which can also be worn in the day
time, one which will be appropriate for
afternoon as well as evening wear.
Then. TOO, every woman who is clever
with her needle cannot tailor coat. t
is a difficult matter 70 do this, and I
would advise Two things: First, the
selection Of simple pattern. and. sec
ond. that you have a tailor work tho
buttonhoIes and do the pressing. With
this finishing tailored touch I have seen
many a homemade coat look in every
respect. as though It had just come from
the tailor's hands.
The long coat. illustrated on the right
is serivceable for the woman OF rnoder-
ate means. Il can be worn morning.
noon, and night with perfectly good
taste. and its lines are both good and
simple
The design is loose hitting, with gen
erously proportional sleeves, making il
an easy model TO slip into, and the high
fitted collar is a great advantage 70

The wonderful achievements Of weav-

would have seemed incredible. There
are. for instance, the exquisite velours,
which sell at from SO 20 $25 a yard.
The only mitigating circumstance in this
carnival Of extravaganza is that the
stufrs are very wide and that no great
quantity Of any Of them is needed for a
frock, while the most expensive of the
velvets are seldom used for entire
frocks. being usually combined with

That is the large probleino which
the democratic house has on its
hands. The speaker having ALREADY
been removed from the rules COM
mittee. and that committee having
been enlarged from five to nine menu
bers. the chief remaining aspect Of
1.-THE problem relates to taking from
the speaker the power to name the
committees OF the house. This has
been widely represented. and is ex-
tensiyeiy believed. to be the basis OF
the real command of the speaker
over legislation. The insurgent re-
lpublicans have long demanded that
this power be taken from the speaker.
The democrats have been understood
to agree with this view. win they,
having now the opportunity to prove
their position, continue OF that mind?

after the November election, address,
ed to every democrat who had been
elected to the new house, q letter
asking him to answer this question:
do you intend to vote TO take
from the speaker the power to APP
point committeess
To that question approximately
one-third OF the members of the
house have sent their answers. The
answers show that just about half of
tnose who make answer decline to
commit themselves. or those who
answer, the large majority declare
for taking the committee power from
the speaker.
Accurately stated, 81 declare for
taking the power from the speaker,
six declare fatty against such action.
and 40 decline at this time to express
themselves.
