Beauty was regarded as the special attri-

and brains couldn't go together. But as

Concerning Health and Beauty

tellect without the beauty which was its
natural reflection, while some other ancestor
with small mind and an ugly soul handed
down his lineaments to her, to her great
grief, as she freely confessed. Instances
like this might be multiplied but to little
purpose, for facts are nothing when they
run counter to preconceived ideas.
A warm bed and hot water bottle. or.
failing that, a hot iron, are excellent
remedies for insomnia in cold weather. The
bed should be warmed with the hot water
bottle before one gets into it, and if there
IS radiator in the room the pillows should
be placed upon it for a few minutes.
Otherwise they should be warmed with
the bottle. IL is wonderfully soothing to
get into a warm bed on cold night
much more SO than warming the bed with
ones body-and may make all the differ
ence between peaceful slumbers and wake
fulness. Then, if one wakes in the dead
watch and middle Of the night there Is a
wonderful sense OF companionship in the
warm bottle at ones feet and under this
influence one may soon drop off TO sleep
again. The practice il summer should
be Just the reverse. Then cooness will in
duce sleep just as warmth does in winter.

- Paris. December q.
n Playing the part OF an aumonier at
grand wedding last week, niece OF the
years was picturesquely gcwned in a
scsnt, clinging frock OF white satin. Tulle
runs trimmed the hem OF the skirt, which
reached 10 the feet, in their tiny shoes OF
white satin. -Circling the high waist, a
wide sash of rose colored satin was tied
al one side. while frills of yellowed old
lace finished the neck and edged the long,
light sleeves. Over all hung Louis XVI
cape OF heavy white satin bordered with
sable and finished with wide collar of
the same fur. while delicious Vatican
bonnet of silver-embroidered rose satin
coiffed the charming head. Moving about
after the ceremony among the guests
soliciting aims for the poor, according TO
rhe pretty French custom, the little girl
carried aumoniere of ancient rose
b-ocsde trimmed with gold lace.
The mother Of this divine little creature
was quite as picturesque in short sheath
gown OF black satin. under a tunic Of
! iinlc-y -yeIiowed Venise lace. Old red satin
belted the tunic and q sash of the same
SPLENDID color bound il closely at the hem.

finished this marvellous toilet.

The plain gored skirt OF the coat joined

scended 30 the natural waistline in front.
The Joining was achieved by a thick, silk
covered cord. and the garment closed with
