 Now, here Is my suggestion: No mat ter how active a life you lead. you can surely arrange to take two nights off say in every two weeks I mean two nights off for the sole purpose of going to bed early And. mind you, this is no uaste of tin1e-for you're more re- paid for time spent this way than any other.
 It's better To take two consecutive nights, for then you really catch up and have a chance to get ahead on the sleep pxoposition- Of course. one night is a help, but two nights straight are just twice as good

 True happiness Is of a retired nature and an enemy to Domp and noise. Excess of grief for the deceased Is madness, for it is an injury to the living and the dead know it not.

NEWEST BLACK AND WHITE FROCKS
The Fundamental
 Color Contrast Is
 in High Fauor Now
By ANNETTE BRADSHAW

~HE combination of black Vl< and white is always smart
 and it is equally effective for morning, afternoon or even ing. We see it carried out in sports skirts and sweaters, in frocks or suits designed for after noon and in dashing evening ap- parel.
 The costumes here arc for af- ternoon and evening, respectively, though the dress and short jacket may be worn to very smart morn ing affairs. The frock is one piece velvet model and it's worn with a short coat of white broad cloth and black velvet The broad cloth traces a design against the velvet background.
 In the evening costume, broad scarf of er1nine is worn over the shoulder in Spanish shawl fashion. It happens that the evening gown beneath is of black velvet, but the black-and-white note is carried out in the wrap, anyway, for the scarf end& are edged in black ermine tails.
