WOMEN MUST SLEEP, Avoid Nervous Prostration. + If you are dangerously sick what is the first duty of your physician? He quiets the nervous system, he deadens the pain, and you sleep well. Friends ask, ‘‘ what is the cause ?” and the answer comes in pitying tones, nervous prostration. It came upon you so quietly in the beginning, that you were not alarmed. and when sleep deserted you night after night until your eyes fairly burned in the darkness, then you tossed in nervous agony praying for sleep.

She started to her feet, dropping Miss Floy Parmenter's wedding-dress in a billowy heap on the floor, and ran to the door of the fitting room of the dressmaking establishment. But Ler mother was busy trying a | dress on Mrs. Commodore Skreene and could not be hurried, and the girl turned back, impatient to announce the news. She whirled abou{ in a little dance before the cheval-glass in the privacy of the inner room. Catching up Miss Parmenter’'s wedding-dress, she held the shimmering folds before her. shall I look in an evening gown?’ she wondered, ecstatically. “Ob, I suppose I am too silly, but I have been so hungry for good times of my own kind! They are my own kind, those girls of Mildred Brewster's set, though I didn’t suppose they'd ever acknowledge it. They never took the least notice of me when I went—so frightfully shabby!—to the high school with them. And Mildred Brewster seemed especially proud—although she was kind to get us the naval people for patrons. A musicale, too! I won- der how she knew I should like that. It may be that her brother Stanley has heard me singing in the garden when he has been canoeing on the river. “0 mother, dearest!” and she turned to her mother, who had finally got through with Mrs. Commodore Skreene and now stood in the doorway. “An invitation for me from Mildred Brews- ter to a musicale! When I opened the envelope I thought, of course, she had only written about the chiffon for her pink waist.” “I don’t know why she shouldn't in- vite you,” said the little worn woman, her seamy cheeks growing red with pleasure. “They are very aristocratic—very proud of their old family. They live in a colonial house a hundred years old, with family portraits and old silver and things; and you and I mother, dear, are nobodies. 1 trim Mildred’'s Dretty gowns and she sends us her father's checks. Those are the only relations that are to be expected between her “She hasn't seemed to think so,” said her mother, quietly, but with a thrill in her voice. Mentally she vowed that, whether money were plenty or scarce, Betty should go to the musicale in a lovely gown. For she knew all about the hunger for good times and girls, although never a word had been said. Mother eyes are sharp. Meanwhile the postman had left a missive in Miss Mildred Brewster's handwriting at one of the old colonial houses, “with family portraits and old silver things.” It was addressed to Miss Frances Penhallow, and that young lady, who was Mildred's dearest friend, said she knew without opening it that it was an invitation to Mildred’s musicale. She opened it, nevertheless, and drew her brow into a frown as she read: “Dear Miss Martin: Will you be so kind as to take the very greatest pains in matching the pink chiffon to my waist? I am sure I can trust your exquisite taste, but I should feel it to be such a calamity if that delicate shade of pink silk were to be spoiled by a deeper shade of trimming. “Hastily, “Mildred Brewster.” “Just like Mildred! She has ‘mixed those children up!” exclaimed Miss Penhallow. “This note was meant for Betty Martin, the dressmaker’s daugh- ter. And she has probably got my in- vitation! I'll drive round there and carry this note, so that Mildred’s waist may be sure to be all right. She has more faith in those people than she has in Madame Fontenelle. I think I'll get mamma to try them. I remember that the girl looked poor and forlorn when she went to school, but she is really effective now, she wears such good gowns. And there is something quaint about her, with her high fore- head and her little peaked chin and her corn-flower-blue eyes. If she could manage to make me look as she does—"’ Frances critically surveyed the image of the descendant of the Penhallows in the long mirror, and deliberately “made up a face” atit. It is true that the figure was stocky and the nose thick, and those discouraging points struck the owner of the figure more forcibly than did the honest clearness of the gray eyes, or the sympathetic sweetness of the mouth. It was Betty herself who opened the door of the reception-room, and her “quaint” face lighted up at the sight of the visitor. A friend of Mildred Brewster's bore with her a “charmed atmosphere.” Frances, smiling a little in response to the shy radiance of the girl's face, said: “I remember you at the high school, and I think you have such lovely taste!” She felt that Betty's attitude demanded something more kindly than an immediate plunge into business. “I have seen all the pretty things thag you have made for Miss Brewster.’ “Miss Brewster £ has been so very kind to me!” said Betty, with a thrill in her voice. “She has sent me an In- vitation to a musicale at her house! She displayed the card with childish simplicity. “I think some one must have told her that I love music,” she added, with a doubtful, questioning glance at her visitor's face. For a shadow had fallen upon the honest-eyed face, as Frances under- stood, in a flash, that it would be difii- cult to explain the mistake. Difficult! It was impossible, she said to herself, as she caught a quiver of the chin that was cleft at its peaked tip by a childish dimple. There was a suspicion of mistiness about the corn- flower-blue eyes. She did not suspect the blunder. How should she? “I—I want to ask you about your dis- engaged time,” faltered Frances. “I have been trying to bring my mother here for a long time.” Betty became businesslike at once and brought her mother, who, on con- sulting a thick engagement-book, found that she should have a few days to spare in the course of the month. “Of course, I might have given the message about the pink waist,” re- flected Frances, as she flecked a fly off her fat pony’s back, “but I was afraid she would suspect how things were. An Awkward Blunder. @ 8 BY SOPHIE SWETT. TDDB VLVLVVBOR 3 She was so pleased! To keep her from knowing that it was a mistake seemed the one important thing. The pony was forced to go at a pace which shook his fat sides and caused him to turn a questioning and re- proachful eye upon his young mistress, whose views of life generally coincided very satisfactorily with his own. Out cn Paradice road, just where the air begins to be sweet with the locust- trees, Frances met Mildred setting out with her brother Stanley and his friend, Lester Wyman. Mildred sent the young men on ahead, in obedience to an imperative private gesture from Frances, and then heard the story of the dreadful blunder. “It was stupid of me,” said Mildred, with a pucker of her serene brow. “But 1 don’t see how she could have thought I meant to invite her! How awkward for you to have to explain!” “Awkward! I simply didn’t explain, She was so pleased about the invita- tion! She thought you must heard how fond she was of music. And I don't think that good times have ever come much in her way. I didn’t say a word about your pink chiffon. I thought you would rather leave it to Provide Nice than to run the risk of hurting her.’ “Why of course, better than to hurt her,” said Mildred, slowly. “So far as the pink -waist goes, I could write to her about it now. She is perfectly presentable, but I wish it could have happened some other time, if I had got to make such a blunder. did want Lester Wyman, who is a diplomat’s son and accustomed to the nicest people everywhere, to meet the very cream of Old Harbor society!” “She's the very creamiest thing in the town, so far and he need never know that a dressmaking sign hangs out over her door! Give the girl a good time, and don’t take it so hard,” said Frances, sagely, as she touchedthe fat pony with the whip. * ‘Hey, Betty Martin, as looks go, tiptoe fine!’ ” girl a playful push toward the long mirror, and the mirror reflected the prettiest gown that its experience had known. It was of pale blue silk mus- lin over pale blue and to its girl- ish simplicity added the indefin- silk, was able quality known as “style.” The slip of a girl, her blue eyes wide with ‘half-incredulous delight, looked like a princess—or rather as a ought to look and is no more look than any one else, But as Betty turned away from the mirror—-away, also from her mother's eyes—the delight faded suddenly, candle is blown out by the wind, the sensitive little peaked chin ered with a haunting reccollection of the expression on Frances Penhallow’s face and the forced tone of hercongrat- ulations. There had been a mistake made, somehow! It was not likely that Miss Brewster had meant to in- vite her. princess as a and She said that to herself at one ment, and tried to think she had grown morbid by much brooding over hallow’s look of surprise, that 1110- the next that and fanciful Frances Pen- surpirise—a look of was all. She had not known of the invitation. Betty had not breathed a hint of her suspicion to her mother, whose delight had Deen even greater than her own, “I would go, for her sake, over red- hot plow-shares!” Betty said to her- self, giving a little kick to her beauti- ful, shimmering, light blue train. That train was gracefully carried on the night of the musicale, and so was the small, ash-colored head—only a trifle too high. And *“a red and a restless spar burned on Betty's cheek. But when she found, among all the throng of young e of surprise, or people, no anything but the friendliest courtesy, she gradually put away even the suspicion that their minds had been prepared, and was gay with the rest. Her heart grew warm toward Mil- dred Brewster and Frances Penhallow, who, without singling ler out in any embarrassing way, constantly tock pains that she should not feel herself a stranger. It grew? so warm that when Mildred showed her chagrin that Madame D’Almati, the charming sing- er of English ballads, had failed to ap- pear, she threw her shyness to the winds and said, with evidently a sim- ple eagerness to be of service: Oh, 1 can sing ballads—if you think anyone wctild care to hear me! 1 have not a large voice, but it has been trained. I have an uncle who is a musician.” “If—if you will be so good,” faltered Mildred, polite, but as she afterward confessed to Frances Penhallow, feel ing “an awful dread.” But the “awful dread” was quite un- necessary. Betty had not, as she said, a large voice, but it had the thrilling, pathetic quality, the “wild, weird sweetness” found seldom except in an Irish voice, and most effective of all in simple ballads. Betty made a suc Before she home, in a carriage from the stable that was only a few doors from the dressmaking establish- ment, she had promised to sing at an- other musicale in another of the old colonial houses “INow we shall know what to do for her!” said Mildred, joyfully, to Fran- ces, whom she had kept for a private conclave. “Every one will take her up! She can give parlor concerts, and she can get pupils by the We can get her to give up the dressmak- ing.” But when the plans were matured and laid before Betty Martin, grateful, hut obdurate. “I couldn’t teach, it isn’t in me!” she explained. “Mother tried it before she married, and had a dreadful struggle. And father was a lawyer, when he ought to have stayed on the farm. We think, mother and I. that when we are born our work is born with us. We're like the old milkwoman—you've seen her-—who took her h route when he died. She says it's the work she was born for, whether it's proper work for a woman or not. She says she is like the kings and queens —a milkwoman by the grace of God. That's the way mother and I are dress- makers. I want her to put ‘Dress- maker, Dei Gratia,” on the sign. If I had the voice for a great career, I don't know, it might be different. But as it is, I like to earn my living by the commonplace work that I know I can always do thoroughly well. “There is another little reason—" Betty hesitated and drew a quick breath—"“which I'm afraid you will think fantastic and foolish.

But such a one should remember that the flash is ‘al- most distant, and that thunder can do no more damage than the low notes of a church organ. The question is often asked, “Do trees protect?” The answer is that the degrees of protection will vary with the character of the tree, and its dis- tance from a water-course. An oak is more iiable to lightning stroke than a beech. The character of the wood, the area of ‘leafage, the extent and depth of root, will determine the lia- bility to stroke. Another question asked is whether there is danger aboard a large steamship during a thunderstorm. On the contrary, there are fewer safer plac Suflicient met- al with proper superficial area is inter- posed in the path of the lightning, and its electrical energy converted into harmless heat and rapidly dissipated.
