DEMONSTRATED
 RIGHT CUTTING OF
 DRESS PATTERNS

Mrs. w. c. Kuemmel of the Chic American Dressmaacing School gave a very interesting and helpful demon stration yesterday at the Food Hut on State street. This was the first of a series of demonstrations which Mrs Kuemmel has offered to give to the women of Bridgeport.
 Yesterday the cutting of garments of all styles from one pattern was demonstrated. Not only does home dressnlaking bring down the high cost of living but the knowledge oi how to use one pattern for any and all styles brings down the cost of pat terms. Patterns may seem like a small item, but Mrs. Kuemmel said that it is surprising how many people buy new pattern for every garment they make She told of woman here in Bridgeport who bought an apron pattern for a simple waitress apron.
 From a waist and two-piece skirt pattern Mrs. Kuemme1 showed how to cut tucked waists, waists with dropped shoulder seam, collar patterns, one, two and three-Idece skirts.
 The Hut was filled to capacity and the women voted the meeting most

INFORMATION ON
 DREAMS AND HOW
 THEY ARE CAUSED

Dreams originate in the brain. The
 brain has many parts and some parts
 of it may be asleep while others are
 not. If all parts of the brain are actually asleep, it is said there can
 be no dreams. We have dreams about things which seem very natural while
 we are having them, and which we
 know would be impossible if we were
 wholly awake. because those parts of
 the brain which control the other
 parts are probably asleep while the
 dream is taking place, and it is then
 that we have those fantastic and
 highly imaginative dreams, for the
 brain is not under control in every
 sense.
 We used to believe that dreams
 have no purpose, just as now we
 know that they have no meaning. But
 it has been discovered that dreams
 have purpose in that they protect
 our sleep. You see, every dream is
 started by some disturbance or excite
 ment of the body or mind. Some
 thing may be pressing or touching us while we sleeper a strange sound may start a dream or perhaps it is
 some uncomfortable position in which we are lying or trouble in the stom- ach on account of eating something we should not. Whatever it may be, those things wake up some part of the brain, because if all parts of the brain were asleep. we could not feel or hear anything. Any such disturbance or excitement would naturally excite the whole brain and wake us completely if it were not for dreams. The dream takes care of this and enables the rest of the body and brain to sleep while one or more parts of the brain are disturbed and even awake. We may have become uncovered in some way. This would produce a cold feeling and might wake a part of the brain
 and cause a dream about skating or some other winter amusement or ex- perience, or even perhaps one about falling through ice, and still we might not be uncovered so much that it would make any great difference. The dream comes and we go on with
 our sleep without waking up, whereas if it were not for the dream we would
 awaken. In other words. dreams are just another wise provision of nature which enables us to go right on and get the rest we need, even if our di- gestion is out of order, or some part of our brain is disturbed through something we read about or were told of, or we thought of while awake
 Because we remember some of our dreams. Sometimes we do not re- member the dreams we dreamed. This | is just like what happens when we are
 awake. We remember some things and forget others.
 Dreams are a sort of safety valve
 in our sleep. We dream because not all of our brain is asleep at the time and it is a wise provision of nature that permits the waking part of the
 brain to go on working without dis turbing the sleep of the other parts
 of the brain. If a large part of the
 brain is awake and engaged in mak-
 ing the dream, we are very aptVto re-
 member the dream; but when we
 dream and cannot remember what the dream was, it is because only very small portion of the brain was awake and making a dream.-4From the Book of Wonders. Published and copyrighted by the Bureau of Inds1t- trial Education, Inc-, Washington, D. c.
