ALPHABET AND
INSOMNIA
CURES
By Lucy Lowell

.VOU sleepless ones who lie
= through endless hours count
ing sheep-I met another of you
a day or so ago. And heard from
her how she overcame the terror
of insomnia.
This young woman had q
theory which was interesting and
seemed reasonable: that the cause
Of sleeplessness Is not lack of
thought which must he remedied
by filling the mind with any kind
of trash like saying the multiple
cation table backward or telling
off imaginary sheep as they
jump over an imaginary stile.
Sleeplessness. said she. is caused
by too much thought about mat
ters which disturb or worry.
And, while the remedy is to put
out of mind these subjects, this
cannot easily be done unless some
thing else is provided to fill the
space left vacant by removal Of
the harassing thoughts.
The second set of thoughts,
then, must be as different as pos
sible from the first; they must be
soothing and pleasant.
Her method is to begin with
the letter A and go through the
alphabet with the name of some
thing or some place which to her
mind represents peace and repose.
She once spent a vacation at
a quiet little resort called Avalon
Beach. and. accordingly. this. is
the name suggested to her by the
letter A, together with memories
of the peacefulness and beauty
of the place.
For B she things of bells-the
angeIus which rings the end of
the days toll c suggests To her
cottage, quiet place OF candle
light. with restful cedars about
the door-twO more C'S for her
list.
And so she goes through the
alphabet. though never in the
weeks she has been putting hel-
self to sleep in this manner has
she gone father along. she told
me. than G for garden. Easy

Christmas Festivities

At Christmas time we all defied the
rules We commonly obey: we let the diet
bylaws slide and cut our bran and
toasted hay. The children filled them
selves with pie and lollipops and costly
cake-enough to make an old man
die-and never had a stomach ache.
They ate all sorts of nuts and fruit and
chunks of turkey, goose and duck, and
English puddings rich to boot, ana
every sort of seasoned truck. They ate
whatever was in view; they'd eat
while, then pause to tamp, and then
they slept the long night through, with
out a Spasm or cramp. On, children,
you are truly blest, your little works
are seldom sore: you eat the things you
like the best, then rise next day to eat
some more. We older ones grow reck-
less, too, when Christmas bells make
their appeal; we'n frolic with the joy
GUS crew, and eat for once good
square meal. On Christmas day all
rules are canned, We will be human
with the bunch; we will not at the side
board stand and eat sane and frugal
lunch. And so we eat the roasted
geese, the richest grub our coin can
buy, and things which have been fried
In grease, and finish of with hot mirlce
pie. We know while eating we are
chumps, our recklessness will make us
sick; last year we nearly bumped the
bumps from pulling such a foolish trick.
But this is Christmas, we decide, and
all the rules may hang themselves; we
call for oysters steWed and fried, for
all the pies upon the shelves. And now
that Christmas day Is gone, our ancient
works all out of gear, we swear by
Mike and Pete and John to have more
sense another year. WALT MASON.

know. Hooty is one Of the few birds
that can fly silently.
Reddy watched Hooty out of sight.
Then he turned to consider the mystery
of Peter Rabbits disappearance. Il
don't believe" said Reddy to himself,
that Hooty knows any more about 1t
than / do. There Is something queer
about it. I think I'll look around pit. ,
Reddy first went over to where he had
seen Peter when Hooty the Owl first
swooped at him. Then he turned and
looked over toward the barn. This is
the direction" thought Reddy, "in
which Peter went. 1t would bring him
straight over to the barn. Then if he
had kept on he would have come out
right where I was hiding. If he had
lodged out across the dooryard should
have seen him. Reddy began to run
back and forth with nose to the snow.
Presently he caught a whiff of rabbit
scent. Then he caught another. He
had found Peters trail. Swiftly he ran
forward. Straight over to the barn the
trail led him. Reddy ran fast. He was
running close along the barn. Sudden
ly he stopped abruptly. He had lost the
trail of Peter Rabbit. He no longer
got that tantalizing rabbit scent.
He whirled around and started back,
his nose close to the snow. All, there
was that scent again! 1t ended right
there, close to the barn, little one
side of the door. Reddy stared this way
and stared that way. Where had Peter
Rabbit gone? Once more he put his
nose to the snow and shifted of the
side of the barn right where Peters
tracks ended. He put his nose against
one of the boards of the barn. The
board moved. 1t startled Reddy so that
he jumped backward. But nothing hap
pened. Then Reddy went forward again
to examine that board. Again he put
his nose against it and again it moved.
Reddy stepped back and sat down
and stared very hard at that board. He
had discovered what had become of
Peter Rabbit. Peter was inside the
barn. Yes, sir, that is where Peter was.
That board that moved was nothing
but little light door that swung either
way. It had been made for Black Pussy
the Cat to 90 in and out of the barn.
Somehow Peter Rabbit had discovered
it, or had known it, and when Hooty
had swooped at him he had darted
through into the barn, pushing that lit
tie swinging door open.
To make sure, Reddy went over and
pushed. The little door swung back,
but the opening wasn't big enough for
Reddy to pass through. He couldn't
follow Peter into the barn.
