If you CAN'T GO TO SLEEP
Counting, Reading and Special Diet
Are Suggested ~ Helpful for the
Wooer Of Slumber,

A sufferer from insomnia retails 4
number Of counsels he has received,
OF which the first comes from the poet
M. Leconte. who says:
open your window wide. Lie with
your head as low as possible and you
will sleep like q post"
"Accustom yourself to take an hour
or tw0's rest in q deck chair after
every meal" writes another. "Take
down from your shelves some old.fash.
ioned novel Of which you have an af.
fectionate remembrance as one Of tho
Joys Of your youth and read It while
you are on your deck chair. The more
you are wearied by It the better you
will sleep. The secret Of q good night
Is not to tire yourself out In the eve.
ming. but to idle away the time.
An important point, though q din.
cult one, Is to avoid any dread Of In.
somnia. Personally derive benefit
from calculating the multiples Of two
or three as far as l can go. Or else

one elephant make two elephants, two
elephants and one elephant makes
three elephants; three elephants and
one elephant, and so on.
Finally, knock of your black cot.

cults.
III in spite Of all this sleep refuses
to come try reading. But don't read
anything lively or interesting. In my
own case 1t is very rare that insomnia
does not succumb to two or three pages
Of Plato's 'Phaedo.'
"An eminent doctor Of Lyons says
much the same thing. Another sug.
gests: Count slowly from one up
wards. It is very rare one gets up to
200 without going to sleep. II is on
record. however. that one victim got
up to 16.9S7, and then It was time to
get up!'"

FASHIONS SPRING WILL BRING
From Present Outlook There Are to
Be Many Changes From the
Prevailing Styles.

The spring maid Of 1913 is to be
straight front, straight back. hipless
and curveless. II fashionably attired.
she will look like straight line,
with an obliQue line at the tops, said
oblique line being her hat. according
to the latest bulletins sent out by the
suit and cloak makers conventions
In Chicago.
Skirts are to be perfectly straight,
looking like an envelope. Jackets are
to be the same. Narrow skirts will
prevail. hence they will be slashed
SO that the wearer may move with
some degree of safety. The slash
may be in the back. front or side.
The slash will extend to a point Just
below the knee and will be skilfully
concealed by pleats.
For plump, rotund women. who can
not wear the positively straight lines.
the fashion-makers have taken les
son from the unspeakable Turk. For
plump women there will be skirts Of
the voluminous. sheet-like robe Of the
desert roamer. drawn tightly about
the ankles and full at the top. Orien-
tai colors also will be drawn upon
heavily in the new styles.
Returning to the slender woman,
jackets will be cut on the same
straight lines as the skirts. The cut
away pattern will prevail. and this
calls for some decoration to fill In
the front. For this purpose there will
be a waistcoat. exactly like a mans
vest. to finish the open coat. The
spring coats will be striking of stripes
and checks, the one finding the most
favor among designers being the "rah-
rah" 40 inches long. made of cream
goods with q tan stripe.
