OPEN YOUR HOME TO THE LONELY
 Let's remember the loneliness of people who are too far from their homes to reach them for Christmas, and share our own homes with them.
 Let's go to church, even if we have stayed away all year-grate- full that we can worship as we please.
 Let's put a light in every win- dow, happy that we have no need to cover in darkness.
 This is Christmas 1940-and we are at peace.
 WE CAN'T END EUROPE'S WOES
 We shouldn't be ashamed to give thanks for that and for trying to make it a joyous Christmas, even though there is great misery and suffering in the world.
 We can't eliminate the suffering in war-torn countries, but we can give our families and friends a happy day or two in what has been a tragic year.
 We can make 1t time of light in a year of darkness.

ACCOMMODATING NEEDS WORE

INSOMNOMANIAC NEEDS WORK
 In a medical work published forty years ago (Hare's System of Prac- tical Therapeutics) Dr. Hugh T. Patrick, then eminent in the field of nervous and mental diseases. drew a distinction between insomniacs and insomnomaniacs Insomniacs have an impairment of nutrition and function produced by sufficient cause. InsomnomaniacS - well, no need to say more here. But Dr. Pat rick taught that insomnomaniacs must be trained anew in ways of life and habits of thought. Here or Doc Brady would interject the observation that some of their wrong habits of thought, at any rate, are fromed by reading too much near-medical literature and taking too seriously the pseudo scientific propaganda of various in tereStS.
 Instead of rest, pr. Patrick in- sisted, insomnomaniacs should be given occupation, and instead oI freedom from care gradually in- creasing responsibility. The devel- opment of Self-diScipline, self-con- trol, hope and confidence should be the constant aim. rather than day by-day relief of dyspepsia, consti- patton, vertigo or insomnia.
 And if or Doc Brady may horn in once more, instead of sedatives or. hypnotics insomniacs require rather gentle stimulation. If their ways of life, occupation, avocation, hobby, diversion, career or calling fail to give such stimulation, then the lift that tea or coffee giyes-an improvement in nutrition and func- Sixth Ave, New York.

 Don't let your determination not to be dressed infiu0nce you so far in the other direction that you turn out to be the kind of wo- man who is always under-dreSsed.
 dressing has bad effect on the spectators. But nder-dresSing has demoralizing effect on the wearer herself. It's nothing short of embarrassing for any woman to find that she's the only woman at the party who is not in evening clothes. Having to wander around in day dress amid dozens of wo- men in floor length dinner dresses, however simple they are, is enough to make her want to roll up in a quilt and hide in the closet.
 It's a mistake to wear fancy gloves, flowing veil, gobs of jewell " and a corsage of flowers at the same time. But it's just as much mistake to wear nothing except plain silk shirt, plain felt hat and sensible shoes and gloves with a severely tailored black suit.
 Some of the accessories ought to be unusual or at least trif1e excit- ing. A gay corsage or 8 flashing lapel jewel or a huge, sparkling pin might be added. Something ought to be done to give an otherwise strictly tailored, conservative cos- tune lift.
