Beauty Sleep. .

It is amazing how greatly sleep az.

every girl and woman realized how i'm
portant 1t is for beauty's sake to have
plenty of sleep there would be few keep
ing late hours.
Eight hours of sleep out Of every
twenty-four is essential, and the girl
younger than 18 years of age needs
more. You can always detect the girl
or woman who has had too little sleep.
Her eyes are heavy and the lids are
puffy and lined. And because her eyes
are so haggard she looks older than she
Is and lacks pep and vitality.
Refreshing sleep in a well ventilated
bedroom is rejuvenating and heautify-
ing and to reap the fullest benefit from
it one should sleep at the normal time.
It is foolish to stay up half the night
and sleep half the day. Sleep seems to
lose part of its value If it isn't taken
between the hours of 10 or IL pm. and
9 or 10 am. Milady's beauty sleep"
must be taken before midnight. If you
can manage to retire early only three
nights week it is worth while in the
cause of health and beauty. Young
schoolgirls should make it habit to
retire at or 10 o'clock every night,
especially when their days are flied
with study, sports and recreation.
Young business women, too, need Sufi-
Gent sleep and rest That dull morn

and 1rritability could be avoided If this
rule were practiced not once in a while
but regularly.
Babies and young children sleep three
parts of the day when they are healthy
and normal. Tired mothers should make
1t a habit to lie down and relax several
times a day, so that they may avoid
getting into a nervous, fretful habit
whilst nursing and caring for young ba-
bieS during the daytime and often sew
eraI times during the night.
In later years the greatest foe to

A Sermon for Today
Upper World.
By REV. JOHN r. GUM.

Upper World.
"set your affections on things above,
not on things on the earth. ILL.,.
Things on the earth" are the only
things that interest some people. They
never give a thought to things above"
Their thinking Is always earthward,
never heavenward. They have eyes
only for the vulgar, frivolous, coarse,
narrow, sordid things Of earth. They
have no eyes for the heavenly glory
that lies beyond the bounds of earth
and time.
No wonder we never see in their lives
any CLEANS of light from Heaven.
They never look that way. No wonder
their lives reflect only the dull and
rayless nature Of material things.
These things occupy the all-absorbing
place in their thought and affection.
Psychologists speak of "the expulsive
power Of a new affection" Therein Is
the secret Of holy living. We escape
from the unholy world only as we
rise above it and set our affection on
things above, not on things on the
earth" We are naturally the slaves
Of the best, the biggest, the brightest
that we know. Nothing can deliver us
from the fascination Of earthly things
but the higher fascination Of heavenly
things.
The best way to overcome tempta-
ton Is to transcend 1t. The best way
to conquer mean and narrow selfish
ness Is by that nobler and grander
selhshness which is ready to lose its
life of the sake of the lift eternal.
The best way to escape the peril Of
worldliness is to set your affection on
the immortal treasures and delights OF
the world above.
set your affection" Mark the word
set" You need not let your adec-
tons run riot. You need not yield
your heart to be lured and misled by
worldly attractions. BY the exercise
of your will, with Gods help, you can
direct and Ak your mind and heart
on things above, on things holy and
heavenly. Let this be done and, on
the one hand, the lower world will
become less and less fascinating to
you, while on the other hand you will
find yourself being more and more
possessed and lifted up by the fascina-
ton Of the upper world.

ing. Only Gram. She will say It's first
rate, and she'll mean It. I always show
her my card first"
II see. Well, whatever comes or goes,
you are to remember that you are about
the best there is when it comes to
lessons"
You would hardly expect that sort
OF thing from father and mother who
were intelligent enough to have high
grade children. But unless the child Is
first, unless he covers the family with
glory, then he is given to understand
that he has done less than was ex-
his duty. It is so unfair.
Glass marks and honors are indica-
tons Of a child's power. But they are
not so beautifully graded as to meas
ure that power to a fraction Of per
cent. The child at the head of the
class and the children in the first quar-
ter of the class who come after him
are likely to be about the strongest
children in the class. There will be q
scattering Of power down through the
other three quarters, but most of it will
lie in that first group.
Instead of asking what number in
class child stands, ask where he
stands In his group; compare that with
the standing of the class. That sort
of measurement will give you a better
the numerical standing.
Praise a child for whatever good he
does If he is within the first quarter
of his class, accept his standing, and
tell him he Is doing well. If he falls
below, study his work, do what you
can to strengthen his weaknesses, but
praise him for what he has done.

fore retiring. Have your last meal at
least two or three hours before going to
bed. Always allow yourself this margin
of time to aSsimilate and digest your
last meal. Half the cases of insomnia
are due, think, to overeating at bed
time, to worry and overexcitement.
A warm bath before going to bed
is often beneficial in inducing sleep.
Have the water just as warm as you
can bear it, scent it luxuriously with
bath salts or powder if you wish, and
then allow yourself to become completely
and beautifully relaxed in the warm,
perfumed water. Dry well between
Turkish towels and jump into bed. If
you find that after a dance, party or
late business duties your overexcited
brain will not rest nor let you sleep
after your bath, try counting slowly and
deliberately. If you are not fast asleep
by the time 500 has been reached you
may regard yourself as bad case and
should take yourself to task. Always
make it rule when you have found it
necessary to be up late at night to
make up the loss # sleep dung the

Washington pie which is nothing but a
cake. The fact that 1t is usually cut
in wedge-shape pieces seems TO be the
only reason for calling it pie.
Washington pie Is popular at George

did not use the sponge cake recipe
which Is followed in many homes, but
chose this one:

and one-hak teaspoonfuls baking pow
