For SIeep|ess Nights.

How to get to sleep. when every device
fails and one feels desperate, Is matter
worth solving, especially if there be SIM
pie methods that can be tried
A well known lecturer on hygiene, whom
a very sleepless woman consulted on the
subject of bad nights gave her very val
liable advice, the efficacy of which she
has proved.
Stretch out your limbs 10 the full

sides of the body. and straight down.

THE IMPORTANCE OF
DRESS ETIQUETTE

Last night said the woman who
notices things. 81 was at big affair and
sat next the most disagreeable woman
have ever yet experienced And it was
all because she was wearing a hat
know murmured the esthetic girl,
Just how an ugly hat makes you fee
about loving your neighbor."
But this went on the woman who
wasn't even a shabby one On the con-
trary it was an expensive and up-to-date
affair and. when its wearer's features
were in their everyday pattern, l have
no doubt that 1t was becoming. The
trouble was that all the other women
present were not wearing hats at all,
but sat in all the formality of bare heads
and shoulders. 1t was one of those af-
fairs which are not easily classed, when
you have to guess at the correct attire,
and every other woman had guessed diff
ferently from the one who had come in
a hat.
Instead of making the best of a
blunder and taking her hat off, this
woman seemed to be trying to convince
herself that her guess had been right
after all, and that all the rest of us
were foolish creatures, who dressed be-
yond our incomes and our stations The
effort made her furious. | thought her
a most pathetic and humiiating spec

''One has to have the correct rig for SO

and delightful long coats l wish we

it all the time.

THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

please write something" urges
neishbor of mine, "about the woman who
asks you to do an errand for her when
you are going shopping and forsets to
give you the wherewithal.
ooh, no, 1 don't mean that she forgets
it permanently. She gives it to you when
you get back, maybe, or a day or two
later, but she doesn't give it to you when
she gives you the commission.
Maybe what she asks you to get costs
three or four dollars, and, of course, YOU
wouldn't dream of asking for the money
but suppose your husband gave you just
five dollars that morning to do a few
little errands. You can see that several
of those little errands will have to go
undone if you subtract three or four
from five
Have you also met the lady?
| suspect you have, for she is very
common or garden variety Of-well
sponge seems to me about the best
word for her.
She is notab bly, present in the summer col
ony where she is perpetually asking the
working girl, who goes back and forth to
town every day to get her this or that
little thing.
I know one working cir, who spent the
summer about thirty miles from the city.
and, being one of the few to go back and
forth every day, was often loaded down
with bundles for these folks. Her finan-
cial experiences were much the same as
my neighbours, and, being a girl entirely
dependent on her ow nearningS, there
were actually several occasions just be-
fore pay day, when commissions like
these so depleted her pocketboOk, that she
had to go without her luncheon.
1 should think that any one who was
accepting such gift of time and strength
from another, would take pretty good
care not to add a financial inconvenience
to an obligation already sufficiently
heavy.
For that very frequent person who can
always remember your face perfectly,
whose sad case was discussed in these
columns while ago. a kind reader has
sent in this suggestion:
Write each new name which you wish
to remember on a card, spelling 1t out
letter by letter as you do so. Long
afterward, when trying to recall the
name, out from your subconsciOus store
house comes the card into your mental
vision, each letter appearing plainly be-
fore you" Try it!
F.! wonder how many people are uncon-
scious Sunshiners?
| You think that wonder needs translat-

| To be ''Sunshiner" means to belong to

| ciety is an international organization,
whose one purpose is to bring sunshine

A Window Garden.

People who like to replant and grow
hyacinth bulbs indoors will find help in
remembering that there is likely to be
trouble if the pots are at once brought
into a strong light, as many times the
bud refuses to come out of the bulb un-
til the fiower-spike is ford in which
case there will be a deforned flower.
You can prevent this by placing on the
pot a paper cone, fitting the top inside its
rim, made of any paper which is Opaque.
as blue, green or red The cone should
have an inch opening at the top, and the
effect will be to make the bud draw up
toward the light. When it has cleared
the top of the bulb remove the cone.
There is no fertilizer to be given the
bulbs when they are brought in for
blooming, as any given would have no
effect on this years blooms. The flower
is made, or spoiled, in the growing of the

Chiffon and Satin.

Narrow pulled bands of chiffon,
and also of satin, may be bought
by the yard for trimming purposes. They
are very convenient for the dressmaker
and the woman who does her own
dressmaking, as they are ready to be
applied wherever such trimming is
desired The satin bands are about
two inches wide and in various colors
The chiffon bands, SO attractive for
trimming dainty evening costumes and
coats are usually seen in black and
white and range in width from two to
four inches. Some Of the satin puff
ings are used in high stocks as sort
of cross heading over the top of the
attached jabots. A satin piping to
match is then added at the top of the
stocks. Double neck and sleeve ruch-
ings are made of box-pleated white
net. edged with black lace, with
black velvet band running through
center.

roots If a fine. large mass of fine, fibrous
feeding roots is grown while the pot is
in the dark there will be large fine
flower; If not it will be in proportion to
the mass of roots. This is why the addi-
ton of fertilizer, after it has been
brought into the light. has no effect on
the blooming of the bulb
However. there should be an abundance
of water given the bulbs, and it should be
kept In mind that for the best effects We
must simulate natures way Of growing
them as far as we can.
In state of nature they bloom out
doors, early in the spring, when the
ground is wet and cool and the sun heat
makes little impression on the tempera-
ture. In order to reproduce these condi-
tons we give the pots plenty of water
and keep them out of the direct rays OF

Two of them are all-feather CONNECTIONS.
Last year few of us took kindly to these
feathered hats, although some very good
looking ones were offered, but now they
appear to be having their innings, and
deservedly for they are charming. charm
ing, that is, for youthful, fresh-looking
faces, and such. only.
The first model is built of gray breast
feathers around flaming scarlet wings
that continues the graceful curve of the
first-named, and the hat sets out a trifie
from the head, albeit we'll down over the

The second model shows what may be
done with iridescent effects. Here the
wings are green and blue, grouped around
a white breast feather 1t is tremen-
dously smart and ideal for all-around wear

In the third sketch is shown pretty
panama trimmed with large cluster Of
natural heron feathers. 1t is Jaunty,
charming, as a panama particularly of
all types of headgear should be.
Practically all of the spring hat mod
els, and the same will be true Of the
summer ones, are of the finest materials.
Straws, braids, scarcely any of them are
of a coarse nature so much In vogue last
year. A great deal of erin and tagal is
being used, and the panamas, leghorns

shapes, they are legion-no two Of them

1t is not possible to suit just any trim

Women of mature age should be as

summer, but there is no doubt that the
small turban and the brimmed headgear
that is of modest dimensions are going
to be most favored. Moreover, and what
adds to the interest Of the information,
they are more generally apt to be be-
coming than very large hats.
However, there is this to be said. If
proportions are modest the same COM

themselves. Not that there is SO much

models are simplicity personified-but with
what a dash to it-simplicity that flaunts

DAYS DOING At
STATE CAPITAL
POISON IS FOUND IN MANY
GEORGIA PEAcHES-oTHER
NEWS SRoM ATLANTA.

Atlanta, Aug. 17.-Arsenate of lead,
a deadly poison, has been discovered
in canned peaches from the Fort VAL
ley peach orchard district, and as a
result of the discovery P. A. Methvin,
the states pure food inspector, will
probably condemn the output of a
number of the largest canneries in
the state.
The poison got into the peeling of
the peaches from a spray used on
the trees to kill worms and brown
rot. AS general thing the peach
srowers use the spray early, so that
it will not accumulate on the fruit,
but this year the unprecedented heavy
rainfall made it necessary to spray a
second time.
A discoloration of the peaches led
to Inspector Methvin's discovery. The
peaches canned for pie filters" are
not peeled, and it was principally in
this class of canned goods that the
poison was noted.

Will Approve Bill.

Atlanta, Aug. 17-Although Cover
nor Brown believes that it is just for
man to be taxed on old dog Tray
and while he is mindful of the fact
that the bill enacted by the legisla-
ture abolishing the dog tax will cut
off $175, 900 Of the states revenue, he
nevertheless will approve the bill and
thereby make it law, and thereby
hangs right interesting little tale.
A number of legislators voted for
the bill because they knew it would
mean political death at the hands Of
their constituents if they didn't vote
for it. They are really in favor of
continuing the dog tax, and since the
adjournment of the legislature they
have gone quietly to the governor and
urged him to veto the bill
This particular brand of patriotism
and political courage is not to the
governors liking, and he has decided
that since the legislators put them
selves in the hole they can stay
there.

Police Are Puzzled.

1t is a puzzle and a source or annoy
ance to the chief, and all of his de-
tectives and all of his men cannot
solve it. The city's chief of construc-
ton has been appealed to, but he is

Water is flowing into the basement
of the barracks faster than three
men can remove it with big suction

comes from.
There is no water pipe in the drive

flow seems to originate, and one OF

there is no spring in the vicinity, for

there was a building anywhere near

to even feminine conservatism in clothes
Taffeta could never have adapted itself
to the hate clinging styles, but with the
new fashions it becomes more and more
desirable, and the smart spring gown
from Paris here photographed is a good
example in point Not but that there are
lovely foulards to be found in the shops:
indeed. they never go ont Of fashion. and
the bordered designs Of this season are
irresistible So the woman who buys
dress with the knowledge that it must
last through several seasons wisely makes
a purchase of one of these, perhaps buy
ing the taffeta for her daughter. Old
fashioned pulled bands have been re-
yived to trim these taffeta gowns, so on
this model the edge of the pannier is
trimmed with it, crossing cleverly just
below the hips, TO give sort OF skirt
rever. Venise lace, used as collar and
cuffs on the waist, heightens the elegance
of the gown by its repetition on the skirt
of mousseIine de sole over white liberty
satin. This is not a faithful copy Of the
Louis Nv. style, to be sure, but the re-
semblance is sufficiently strong, though
modernized.
Paris fashion writers seem TO be Of &C
cord in reporting narrow fur bands as an
outlining trimming for spring or even
summer frocks.
This is perfectly plausible, when the
past seasons have introduced velvet hats
