Get Plenty of Sleep.
Moderation in eating. regularity In

mind, all have their value in protecting
one from fatigue. but probably the great
est Of all safeguards is sleep. The ten
dency of modern man is to undersleep.
There are great men who have done
wonderful work on four or five hours
sleep a night. But they are exceptions,
who attract extraordinary attention be-
cause of this ability to do with less

Eight hours sleep is necessity for
most persons, and nine hours of peace

jority of us.
When sleep fails to rest one. fatigue Is

Diary Of a Fashion Model


THIS noon I iunched with Ruth

clothes, decided she'd get the best idea

ERRORS have had their ups ana
MI downs of popularity, from dec
L orative point of view. ever since
their invention. An Englishman, way
back in 1868. started perhaps the most
intensive mirror epidemic KNOWN
which ran its course and then waned
into a normal condition of buying for
actual need rather than for decorative
purposes.
Mirrors disappeared. after the habit
of pins. They stayed out of fashion for
years, then suddenly reappeared, dressed
in period frames. Today their popular
ity is again assured.
Now how to choose a mirror, with
out the aid of an experienced interior
decorators advice. is a point which
many people are asking questions
about. They are not getting very good
answers. because ideas on decoration
are becoming daily more intricate for
the lay mind to grasp. There are, how
ever. a few simple rules. which, If fol-
lowed, will help those who are mex
perienced.
What is a room for? The answer de-
cides the points to be featured and the
elements to be balanced. If it is bed
room. the bed is the important fea-
ture to group furniture about; if a din
ingroom, it is the table; If it is a music
room. it is the piano; if a Hvingroom II
is the easy chairs about the centre
table, and so on. The furnishings and
the lighting decide the size and num-
Der of mirrors that can be used.
Mirrors give a sense of space to a
room, and heighten the light when
properly placed. but they must not be
overdone in size and number; nor may
they be appropriately framed.

set in the hall-seat rack, just beside the

one lesson young crab must learn-to
eat, and not be eaten.
Weetie felt very sorry. and he turned

sand. when bright idea came into his
little head.
He backed into the shell. It was a
wee bit small, but it did seem good to

had hard time hobblng around on his

thing Weetie did do. Just as soon as he
could shake his house he found another
which was as large for him as the first
one had been small. and he quickly
moved into it. and there he has lived
happy and content for long, long time

find another to fit him. for he has found

Seek Contrast for Rest
When the causes of fatigue are sus-
tanned and continuous, neuralgia of some
sort may be noticed. 1t may take the
form of sciatica or lumbago. headache,
eyeache or neuritis. It will be noted
that we now have to deal not only with
fatigue from the original cause, but by
reason of pain and sleeplessness, with a
still further exhaustion of the body.
When once the nervous system is de-
ranged 1t is only a step to some mental
disturbance. So fatigue becomes re-
sponsible not only for nervous troubles.
but for mental Ills as well. Fatigue
lowers the resistance of the body SO
that it becomes easier for the disease
germs which always are with us to at
tack US.
Every one should have an occupation
that will afford him an outlet for his
energies Good, honest work. physical
or mental, is necessary for the we'll
being of every one But one should not
carry this work beyond the point which
experience shows is enough. This point
can be recognized by any one who gives
thought to his health.
There is always the temptation to one
engaged in work which holds the inter-
est to overdo. But If one keeps at IL TOO
long the reaction is bound to come, and
