incredible that as late as 1885 they
were written of as being "more
snowy than useful" though Incl
dentally noted as being "rather re-

MUM it is worth knowing that
grapefruits contain a large amount
of sucrose and reducing sugars in
equal proportions, unsupported be-
cause of the sour taste, and that
the sugar increases and the aciditv
decreases during storage. Another
tip: Sprnkling them with salt in
stead of sugar has been found to
have the same effect. Try it and
save sugar.

N ECENTLY a magazine offered
~ prize for the best letter tell
ing how to overcome sleepless-
ness by means other than drugs or
medicines. Had | read of the con-
'est in time l might have earned
double eagle telling of the comfort
able and luxurious day and night
beds at the H. D. Doughertv Com
pany. 1852 Chestnut street. The low
day beds are great institutions, for
no woman wishes to throw herself
during the day on her daintily
snread bed, vet she frequently re-
c'ires to relax in mind and body.
They are of the same woods as the
regular bedsteads, of which Dough-
erty has a large variety in many
designs. Nobody who has ever slept
on any of these, equipped with their
faultless box springs and mattresses,
could possibly suffer from "spell"
of sleeplessness.

silvertones, as pretty as their name,
are decidedly more military in effect,
with short shoulder lines and high
collars.

At Blaylock & Blynn, Inc, 1923
Chestnut street, there are so many
charming styles it is a question
which to choose. The indispensable
white cotton voiles and colored
tailored linens are not to be ignored,
though there is always temptation
to do so when the eye falls on the
dressier Georgette crepes. These are
to be had in flesh and white and
suit shades, with square or round
neck line, some frilled, tucked or
elaborately beaded in iridescent
shades, others plain, with collars,
cuffs and vests of beige Georgette.
For mourning there are also new
models of black .Georgette or soft
silks.
