which are worn in the day time.
A warm bath will often in
duce a feeling of calm repose,
followed by a feeling of natural
sleepiness. This will not only
serve to draw the blood away
from the brain to the skin. but
will also soothe the nerves all
over the body.
A few minutes active exercise
and some deep breathing exer-
cises will also promote sleep.
The breathing should be slow
and rhythmical. Two minutes Of
this will often suffice.
After getting into bed. all
lights should be extinguished,
and the senses composed as much
as possible. The thoughts should
be composed and free from worry
and excitement. Going slowly
over the events Of the day and
planning for the morrow is often
a good way to compose them.
But If this process proves too
stimulating and exciting, thoughts
Of this kind should be banished,
after a few minutes reflection.
Physical relaxation is of the
utmost importance. When you
come to analyze your own feel
ings, If unable to sleep, you will
probably find that your jaw is
shut tight, your "solar plexus"
is contracted, and your neck held
rigid, instead Of allowing your
head to relax. Let the weight
Of your head fall upon the pill
low. Every time you feel your
muscles tightening up. relax
them voluntarily.
The mind must be composed
and made as passive as possible,
just before going to sleep. If
you can think or visualize" a
perfect black, then your nerves
are relaxed and you will soon
fall asleep.
In the next article DIR. Caring.
ton will write on somnambu.

WELL DRESSED
CHILDREN
-Ry Rita Stuyvesant-

Ut is important to the happi-
ness of a child to be we'll
Il dressed, and every mother
should exercise careful planning
in the wardrobe Of her young
sters.
Since washing qualities are Of
immense importance in the life
Of a child's wardrobe, the little
frocks should generally be OF
cotton. A cumming frock for the
child Of four is of white cross
barred dimity, shocked in pink,
blue or yellow. 1t is made on
short yoke. with puffed set-in
sleeves that barely touch the
dimpled elbows.
The shocking is done just be.
low the yoke, and there is q
deep hemstitched hem at the
bottom of the rather full skirt.
A white ruffle collar is becom-
ing.
This little frock might be de-
veloped in a heavy quality of
crepe de chine, such as peach,
maize, blue, French blue. rose,
lettuce green or orchid. Smock-
ing in black or a harmonizing
shade of silk would be effective.
The crepe de chine wears won
derfully we'll, and is as good as
new when pressed.
A velvet frock is dressy for
cold days and in black does not
soil readily. A bit Of wool stitch
cry in a gay color is smart;
frock of this, type should be sim
plicity itself. Sometimes, simple
little chemise frock, with short
kimono sleeves and oval neck, is
relieved by a frilly collar and
cuff set of white crepe de chine
and a black satin sash.
A smart top coat is a big asset
to the appearance and comfort Of
a well-dressed child. Atwood
cheviot in tan, raspberry or
copen, combined with a collar Of
nutria. makes a smart boyish
model. It Is double-breasted,
with big flap pockets and but.
tons OF self-covered material. No
belt Is used. and the coat has a
smart flare effect, lined and
interlined to insure warmth.
A hat cut to fit close to the
head with a turn back brim Is
made to match. trimmed with a
bit Of nutria as pom pom.
Knee leggins are also Of the same
material.

of earth--with nothing to differen-

Poor Duchess de Delille! The
colonel confided to Michael the de-
tails of Alicia's sudden death.
Lady. Lewis had sent her to the
front, and because she had been
born in the United States, it had
been fairly easy for her to secure
admission to a hospital unit with
the American divisions that were
fighting at Chateau Thierry.
The Prince. listening to the
words of the colonel, recalled a
confession Alicia once had made
to him. Her hands were clumsy.

ton through lack of training.
Perhaps it had been because of
this very clumsiness of her hands
For she had been infected by a
surgical instrument which had
just been used insan operation, Or
perhaps Alicia may have been
tired Of life. Who knows.
A Sad End.
'Tetanus! How terrible for a
great lady, so beautiful. so Gle.

lamented.
But in the midst OF her pain
Alicia had found the peace Of
mind to dictate her last testament.

After all, Michael, reflected, our
lives are nothing more than what
we will them to be. We create
life in our own image. It is use
less for us to complain Of Fate;
we are what we want to be.
Yet Michael felt neither grief

THECURE FOR
NERVES
BY Brice Be!den, NJ. D.

IF you are nervous you are at
war. with yourself. What you
desire subconsciously forces
your conscious intellect into the
background. If you could man.
age always to see things in their
true light and conduct yourself
accordingly there would be no
conflicts and therefore no nerv-
BUSINESS.
Not to be nervous means sim
ply self control, and the cure Of
nervousness means that you must
learn to look fearlessly ad I'M
emotionally at truth - not at
things as you would wish them
to be, but at cold facts. Instead
Of cultivafing the habit of de-
batting situations, as it were, and
being uncertain whether to meet
an emergency or fly from it, you
must get into the habit of doing
what in your calm, reflective
moments you know to be the
true course of action. Rational
action instead of a state Of funk
is what is wanted.
The nervous person has strong
desires. likes and dislikes. These
he must learn to manage dispas-
sionately. You can view without
emotion a situation or a line of
action in which no personaI
wishes Of your own are con-
cerned. You are not nervous
about such a matter because no
strong wishes are involved, and
you see the truth sanely and see
1t whole. The masterful person
is simply one who has learned
to be very self-controlled In every
situation in life.
OF course, If you don't want to
get well you will bubble about
the truth, when, as a matter OF
fact, the simple truth in our
every day experiences is no deem
metaphysical matter.
We are constantly interpreting
truth to suit ourselves The
oftener we manage to find the
right course, and hold to it, tho
greater is our personal power.
Learn to outflank your nervous
symptoms with intelligently &C.
quired stamina.
