Dolly Sings Pdedn In Praise Of Sleep
Tired Natures Sweet Resorer Accepted As Matter of Course Until It Flies Away On Fairy Wings From Downy Couch-An Eminent Authority Makes Some Interest ing Statements-How Beautiful English Women
 of Rank Preserve Their Beauty
BY DOLLY DALRyMPLE

Sancho Panza sang his Paean of Praise to the man who first invented sleep
 Don Quixote's Squire appreciated sleep and knew it's value.
 It was he who said:
 Tt covers man all over. thoughts and all--like cloak. It is meat for the hungry. drink for the thirsty heat for the cold, and cold for the hot It is the current coin that purchases all the pleas ures of the world cheap, and the bal ance that gets the King and the Shep- herd, the Fool and the Wise Man-even! pr. Bryce, an eminent authority on this subject, says that "the habit of early rising has gone far to wreck rne constitution of many growing youths, which Is comforting medical opinion.
 Another authority, an English prac- titioner, has many interesting things to say about it.
 He explains particularly that women should have plenty of sleep, regardless of everything else.
 He goes on to say that a woman s heart beats five times more a minute than a mans, she being the more sensitive creature, therefore, men need less sleep than women.
 Women should not only sleep late but often.
 Especially should growing children take as much sleep as they can. A certain. beautiful English woman of rank never stays up later than 10 o'clock at night, and she is frank to admit that she does this to preserve her good looks. She knows that two hours sleep before midnight is worth twice that much after that time.
 The vitality of the boy is lowest at about 2 a. m.
 The value of 40 winks," just after lunch, is evidence that the tonic value of a few minutes oblivion can do to restore person than hours of rest when the body's strength is at its low est ebb.
 Somebody was relating story the other day of German woman who, at the age of 45, looks to be about 20.
 She is a person of many household cares and has a round dozen children. When asked how she preserved her youth so marvelously. she said: Sleep, and knowing how to sleep, has done it all. I have taken a nap every day of my life after lunch. That closes the first half of the day then I take up the second half, with light heart and an untired body. and instead of morning and an afternoon to a day, I make two mornings of it. That's my secret"
