Beauty Sleep Brings
A Clear, Fresh Skin

There are few fundamental laws
in regard to a clear, fresh skin. The
hrst OF these is sleep, and, say what
you may, there is no better adage in
the English language than the old
rhyme of Early TO bed" Too little
sleep leaves its traces on the face as
clearly and definitely as if some demon
or nightmare had written it there with
pen and ink for all the world to read
The eyes are heavy and dull. the
mouth sagging, faint lines appear
around the mouth and eyes, and the
skin, instead of being fresh and pink,
is of grayish hue. Not only is there
physical effect, but the mental result
produces irritability, nagging temper
and a nervousness which go far to-
ward producing wrinkles and crows
feet"
1t should be remembered that one
hour of sleep before midnight is worth
two after. Eight hours sleep is suffi-
cient for the average adult; those who
do brain work require more. Let your
room be filled with fresh, cold air
the colder the better-and see that
the bedclothing is neither too heavy
nor too light.-Sperry Magazine.

OPPOSES OME-MAN SYSTEM
Writer Tells of Danger in Allow
ing Nobody TO Work but
Father.

Kindly disposed persons who are in
consequences should take note of the
fact that our most priced institution.
the family, has gone far enough in its
exploitation of fathers earning abil-
ity. Only within the last half century
or so has 1t been the practice for one
lone member of the family to grab
enough of the worlds goods TO support
all the others in idleness and social
hilarity. 1t hasn't been long since
mother and the boys regularly took
hand In getting, and occasionally
even the girls helped out little.
Attention is also called TO the fact
that the one-man system of support is
only an experiment. 1t is subject to
change without notice, and without
quarter. Honest, supplemented folk
and all others. are warned that there
will doubtless be a little weeping and
crashing of teeth when the break
comes. If we don't take care there
may be considerably more than little
dreams may have TO be resorted to-
says writer in Judge.
Some of the more excitable friends
OF man say that it is high time that
our sons and daughters be provided
with something other than advantages.
and that they be taught to expect
something besides allowances and
patrimonies. Alarmists are foresee-
ing all sorts of dire conditions-a race
OF spineless dependents, trying TO col
lect the living that some fool has
said the world owes them not being
the least OF such conditions. AL
though it will not be so bad as that,
we may with propriety start a mod
est preparation, by making 1t a fell
ony for parents TO provide their chill
dren with nothing but advantages. We
may thus in some measure alleviate
the misery OF tomorrow.

CuStards.

There are no more wholesome deS-
serts for both the young and old than
various custards The flavor and man
ner of serving may be varied so that
they seem at each appearance like
something new Some like chocolate

while nutmeg. cinnamon and favoring
extracts make a variety of havors.
If q nodded custard is desired it
must be rich in eggs, if a simple
steamed or baked cup custard, two
eggs with pint of milk gives a smooth.
nice consistency. One of the secrets
of a smooth velyety custard is to cook
it just enough, and always over water
or the cups set In water. A coarse GUS

When making caramel it is well to re-

Plain David Brown was used to plain

fessor OF metaphysics. the plain simple
face was transformed under the influ-

II was a windy day-in fact. taking
his customary stroll and forced to hold
on his broad brimmed hat. David cast
his weather-wise eyes across the sky
and discerned hurricane conditions.
It'll get back to the college," de-
cidcd David. but Just then he noticed
that the Dale place. a cottage that had
been for some time without a tenant
showed signs of life and activity. He
had heard that a widow with two
small children. Mrs. Briggs, had pur
chased the place.

Several people stared broadly at the
wet, muddy and disordered professor.
He reached the laundry. The sheet
would be all ready for him that eve
ming, he was informed.
IL was few minutes after eight that
evening when the professor reached
the Briggs cottage. II had warmed his
heart every time that day he had
thought OF the winsome lady. His
ardor cooled as he neared the house.
Its front was shaded and dark A light
showed in the sitting room. He stole
around the side of the house and
peered in.
"Graciousi" he uttered and shrank
back. fairly appalled,.
A beetle-browed individual occupied
the apartment. He had just pried open
an escritoire and had taken thence a
small lacquered and worried box. He
tucked 1t under his arm, picked up
from the table big revolver and start

Quick as lightning the professor tore

He grabbed up from the ground piece

ample folds of the sheet Holding the
fragment OF wood, against the light
contrast of the sheet resembling the
barrel OF a pistol, as the burglar
opened the door he extended his hand.
Drop everything, or your doom is
sealed." he voiced in a deep, sepul-
chral tone.
"Ghosts!" yelled the burglar in a
wild scream. dropped both pistol and
box and took to his heels. The pro
lessor rushed forward and secured
both. Then, not knowing why. he
pulled the trigger.

Briggs But what does 1t all mean?
she actually pulled the blushing pro
fessor by the arm. Her bright eyes
viewed him approvingly as he stumbled
through his story.
"Oh, what is a lonely woman with

flushed peony red at the bold intima-

new thrills.

was glad that she had interested him.
! Ten years later it became a regular
event stormy evenings, to have the
two children nestle up to their adopt

the sheet story.
Then Laura. his wife, would go to
the clothes-press and bring out the
cherished sheet Then the professor
would dramatically don the sheet, and

Collars Remain Low.

In any well-thought-out scheme of
dress the collar is Of paramount i'm
portance. Last year it rose to UMPIRE
cedented eminence, threatening even
to hide the face of the wearer from
the gaze of an admiring world But
there are limits even to fashion, and
this year compromise has been ar
rived at. While it points an upward
way at the back and at either side,
the collar remains open in front, the
intervening space across the neck be-
ing frequently bridged by a couple of
narrow bands of silk or velvet fas-
tened by fancy studs. A novelty in
neckwear is the stole-end collar Made
OF tulle or ribbon, or chiffon, or lace,
it fastens close and high round the
throat and is provided with long, fut-
tering ends reaching to the waist or
below it.
