THE SANE OLD SPIRIT

The attitude of the German people
toward their former and present
governments is peculiar, and hard
for Americans to understand.
Most of us have taken it for grant
ed that the Germans turned against
kaiserism from conviction. We
have pictured them as entering JOY
fully upon a new era Of freedom, as
in earnest about democracy and
eager to repudiate the sins, follies
and tyrannies of their past. There
is little real evidence of that. DR..
Harold Williams, former correspon-
dent Of the London Daily Chronicle,
writes from Switzerland:
The German revolution as seen
from here certainly demands suspen-
sion OF judgment, There is no ex-
ultation in liberty, no particular in
dignation against the authors Of ma
tfonal misfortune, no recognition OF
the wrong done by Germany to the
world, not the faintest sign of ma
tional repentance. The overthrow OF
the German monarchs is regarded
with Indifference or scarcely conceal
ed regret, and there is no hint Of
any disclosure regarding responsible
ity for the war and no publication Of
secret documents.
"The hostile attitude toward the
allies is unchanged, or rather inten-
sified by the sense OF humiliation
caused by the conditions Of the ar.
mistice-for which we are apparent
1y considered to blame instead oi
the German rulers who tried %
wreck civilization. The persistence
Of the arrogant and exclusive spirit
under the new conditions is most re.
markable. AS yet the revolution
has effected no change OF heart in
Germany"
We shall have to wait longer be
fore making up our minds about tn
Germans. Certainty we cannot re
ceive them into full democratic fel
lowship until they repudiate autoc
racy and all its works, from tn
heart as well as the lips, and Civ
some indication of understandin
what democracy means.

Local PatrlotIsH.

"The extent to which all classes
of society have brought their patriot.

Field Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood, v. c.,
In recent conversation.
: As an instance of this he mention
&c how cheaply yet efficiently a wound

throw Of his residence at Harlow, was
run.
Sir Evelyn is actively interested

and seen nothing but masculine ae-
coutrements so long that their eyes
hunger for the sight of filmy. fluffy.

So that settles it. That is II
women really dress for men rather
than for themselves-a matter con-
eerning which there has been some
dispute.

Sleep Should, Q. Undlstdrbed.

People are beginning to realize that
sound sleep isn't obtainable In bed
that rattles or squeaks or that shocks
the nerves into semi-wakefulness by
unusual slippings Of the springs or un-
expected creakings. The advent Of the
separate bed and the banlshing Of the
double bed into the limbo Of warming
pans and nightcaps is a distinct ad-
vance from the standpoint Of hygiene,
sanitation and more rational sleeping
habits. When separate beds, or, bet
ter still, separate sleeping chambers,
are In universal use, men and women,
especially nervous men and women,
and delicate children, will get good
deal more sleep than they do at pres.
,ent they'll derive more benefit from
the sleep they do get. All this will
makeit easier for them to do with con.
.siderably less sleep than they. now re

Panoramic Object Lesson.

Two and half miles of corridors in the state, war and navy building at Washington are a panoramic object lesson in the use of tinted walls to re- fleet the light.
 This is a really economic experiment. that has been proved a great saving in the cost of lighting. The light-reflect- ing values of the various tints of paints are now understood by the skillful painter.
 Many industrial establishments, schools. hospitals and office buildings in the capital have reduced their light ing costs to a marked extent through application of the proper types and tinrs of interior paints. By making the interiors brighter they have saved a number of accidents and have contrib uted to more cheerful feeling among the occupants.

EASY TO HAVE ATMOSPHERE
Matter That Should Have Careful Thought When One Is Contem-
 plating Building a Home.

Many factors enter into the work of building a home that are not con- eerned, simply, with the work of de- signing or the mechanical processes that go into the building of the house, and we soon discover and realize that the designing and building of a house is, after all, but the first preliminary step in the establishment of q home. The house is important, of course, and if it is not just as it ought to be in every particular, the operation will be a complete failure.
 And it is of special importance be- fore you build, that you know just what you want your house to suggest in the way of newness or old-fash- loneliness or an atmosphere of historic association, and you should also know how the result you wish can be se- cured.
 Your house need not be old to pos sess= what seems to be an atmosphere redolent with memories of the good old days, and if you will but choose your architect with proper care, he will know how to give to your new home that atmosphere which one we'll known designer of colonial houses Joy Wheeler Dow-ealls the dramatic quality in architecture. - Rawson Woodman Haddon, in House Beauti- fal.

Ornamental Lamp Posts.

There is no feature of municipal equipment that adds more to the at tractiveness of a city's appearance than dc ornamental street lamp posts of artistic and appropriate design. Just as the effectiveness of interior decora- tions and furnishings depend in a large measure upon lighting fixtures so the beauty of the street can be en- haneed or marred by it's lights. In each case a satisfactory solution of the lighting problem consists not only in supplying sufficient illumination but also in providing lighting equipment that harmoniZes with it's surroundings and possesses a beauty of it's own. The old-time lamp post in vogue be- fore the days of electricity fulfilled the second of these conditions but not the first; for although the post itself was often q work of art its feeble oil or gas flame seldom was equal to the task of Illuminating the street. On the other hand, the modern overhead are lamp gives fairly satisfactory light, but the unsightly poles, ropes, wires and other equipment for raising and lowering the lamp can scarcely be called beautiful. Now comes the orna- mental street lamp post, which com pines the beauty of one of it's prede- cessors and the utility of the other Thomas J. Davis, in the House Beau tiful.

Eur fabrics have become so hand some and rich that they associate on equal terms with real skins. They do not suffer by this close comparison. Until the present year coats made of these fabrics were set eff by collar and cuffs and bands of fur, bur now we find the fabrics and fur dividing hon. ors in the body of as brilliant garments as any, except those magnificent long wraps and cioaks of costly skins that are only the privilege of the very rich. The time may come when things as they were will be reversed and the fur fabrics become decoration for coats made of fur.
 Among the really impressive coats that have been brought out for mid winter wear, there are some very hand some models in which fur fabrics are so generously trimmed with fur that the effect is that of an all-fur garment. The picture at the head of this article portrays d coat of caStor-colored plush which looks something like molesllin but is more lustrous. It is straight hanging and has wide girdle of the fabric, crushed about the figure below

I was so weak and, Oh how my back hurt me. I was so nervous and restless I couldn't sleep-didn't have any appetite and kept getting worse. Every one was so uneasy about me.
 I cannot exactly describe two awful spells 1 had. I had shortness of breath and would smother Ut night. I couldn't move CT cry out. I felt like I would die. My limbs would get numb and feel very uncomfortable. We used many medicines, and 1 didn't get better.

There are some hats that belcng to middle life, or rather that do not be- long to the youthful. They match up with the poise, and assurance in style, of matronly wearers who have culti- yated the art Of dressing. Ii is their privilege to clothe themselves with more brilliance than belongs to youth, Rich fur turbans and small hats and hats nfade of beautiful plumage are among those that look best on older Women-youth is not the right back ground for them. The superb feath- CTS from the peacoek's neck and gor- geous tail, aud other iridescent feath- CTS. and those whose markings are maryels of natures work, are used to cover shapes ei,ber quiet or spirited, for matronly wearers.
 The new all-feather hats are diStin- guished this season by wing and other trims that are i'll one with the hat. That is, the carefully placed plumage is simply extended into wing or crest or eeronet that seems 10 grow from the hat as natural as the wings from q bird. These hats are suited to fall and winter wear. Only a few feather hats anticipate these seasons and these ar5 all-white feather hats that often ap- pear in August.
