Guide Your Children's Dreams.
On parents an added responsibility
Is Imposed. Childhood Is the most
Impressionable, the most suggestible
period of life, says H. Addington
BTUce in "Success Magazine." It is to
experiences of childhood that the
greater number of dream-provoked
maladlfes are due. It was in childhood,
i for example, that the young man with
the headaches, depression, dizziness,
cold, and uncontrollable fears sus
tained the shocks that were the starting-points
of his terrible dreams of
after-life. See to it, therefore, that
the environment of your child leaves
only pleasurable Impressions on his
plastic mind. Keep tne gruesome, the
morbid, the depressing out of his life.
Choose carefully not only his com
panions, but the books you read to
him, the storios you tell him) and even
the pictures you hang on his bedroom'
wall.'
"It fs certain," says an excellent au
thority, "that the Impressions which
urround the sleeper and precede sleep
ought to bo of a nature conducive to a
oheerful condition of the mind when
It lapses Into rest as well as when it
wakens to full consciousness. Thus
greater care should be exercised in
the choice of situation and adornment
of our sleeping apartments than is us
ual even among the most thoughtful
of us; for it is fair to suppose that
the last ) waking impressions and
thoughes often create more lasting
Impressions than is commonly recog
nised." And, when you have taken every
precaution, question the child occa
sionally about his dreams. From their
nature and frequency you may gain
hints saving him from trouble and
yott from much unhapplneas in later
years.
The Problem of 8leep.
The women who are troubled with
insomnia are few. Those who are
troubled with the desire to sleep over
time are legion.
The sleepyheads insist that we are
obeying the law of nature when we sat
tofy the longing for Just that little nap,
which always prolongs itself into an
hour or so. Yet those who make a
study of the human body, the brain,
and Its needs Insist that we stultify
our energies by needless sleep; that
It la quite unnecessary for us to be
lieve that our health depends on get
ting all the sleep we want
It Is quite true that each Individual
seeds certain hours of It One wo
Aaa can do on seven hoars, another
would be exhausted and Irritable
through the day on only that amount.
One woman can go to hed at niid
nPght and arise at 8 in the morning,
seemingly refreshed and active; an
other would go to sleep In her chair
If compelled to sit up each night until
12 o'clock.
No two persons are alike iu this
question of sleep, and each must, to a
certain extent, make the laws, or re
spect the laws, which govern her es
pecial case.
But, granting this, there la suck a
thing as self-indulgence being mistak
en for the law of nature. Just why it
is an effort to get up in the morning
It would take a specialist to debate;
but it Is a fact.
Those few and fortunate persons
who delight in arising early should
have success as their portion iu this
world if mottoes are condensed truth.
The great and rebellious majority
are compelled to get up through per
suasion, either by an alarm clock or
urgent necessity.
The thing to do is to get up, wheth
er one wants to argue the question or
not It lis not healthy to sleep through
the early morning hours, and only Ill
ness should salve one's conscience
when eating breakfast In bed.
Not because one is afrajd of being
called lazy; not because one dreads
the cry of "shame" from sturdier folk,
but because it does not work out well
as a health factor. It has been tried
and it has failed.
I Is better to go to bed at 10 o'clock
every night, and arise at 7 in the morn
ing than to retire at midnight and get
up at 9 o'clock or later.
Those who get up before 8 o'clock
do so from sleeplessness or necessity,
but it is not necessary for health. One
wise man says that there is always
Just so much work for every one to do
In the world, and If you get up before
8 o'clock you do just that much more
work.
If a woman persuades herself that
It Is necessary for her to sleep until
10 o'clock to the morning, she should
look back on the day and realize how
stampeded by work she was because
she began so late.
Her waking hours are a mad rush
from noon until bedtime. She is so
tired when it Is over that her extra
two hours of "pandering to nature" has
harmed more than helped her health.
Every doctor who studies nerves and
their influence over the mind will ad
vise a woman to take eight or nine
hours sleep every night, no longer, and
compel herself to get up at the end
of that time. To offset any sleepiness
she should Bleep for half an hour In
the afternoon.
The best time is about 4 o clock,
and If the afternoon Is a strenuous
time with her, then she can take her
nap before dinner. This will refresh
and give her an appetite.
If too much sleep deadens one, re
member that too little sleep ages one
as nothing else does but continued 111
health. Trying to get along on six
hours' sleep or less takes ten years
off a woman's life in looks, Just at the
age she needs moat to look yung.
It throws her digestion out oi tune,
dulls her perceptions, and makes her
illtempered and moody.
The problem of the right amount or
sleep is therefore vital. It Is one of
the ruling moral as well as physical
factors in life. Philadelphia Ledger.

New York City. Variations of the
cuirass waist are so many as to be al
most without number. It Is just as
well adapted to remodeling as it is to
new material, and it can be made per
fectly simple. It can be embroidered
or braided, It can be cut and worn
over a chemisette, and It can be made
In the length Illustrated, or shorter
as liked. This one Is adapted to all
uses and can be made with a pleated
skirt to match or with one of con
trasting material attached to its lower
edge, or can be worn over tbe skirt,
which Is pleated and Joined to a
smoothly fitted yoke. Jersey cloth Is
being much used for the purpose, but
soft finished moire and broadcloth
are exceedingly smart for waists of
the kind, cashmere will be much worn
and Indeed every seasonable material
can be utilized. The waist made of
plain black with a flounce ot shep
herd's check, or some similar fancy
material, would be smart and novel;
tbe walBt ot Jersey cloth with skirt of
silk or wool In matching color would
make a handsome gown, and tho waist
finished separately and made from
Jersey cloth, moire, broadcloth, serge
or other material, will be found an
exceedingly serviceable and practical
garment.
The waist Is made with front, side
fronts, backs, side-backs and under
arm gores. The sleeves are of the
plain close fitting two-piece sort and
the stock collar finishes the neck.
The neck can be cat out on any of
the indicating lines and the waist
worn with a chemisette or yoke of
thin material, and It can be cut off on
either perforated line if shorter length
is more becoming.
The quantity of material reqnlred
for the medium sise Is four yards
twenty-four or twenty-seven Inches
wide, two and three-quarter yards
thirty-two, two and an eighth yards
forty-four, or one and three-quarter
yards sixty-four or seventy-two inches
wide.
About Battons.
Smoked pearl buttons are again
fashionable, and have been shown on
a number of one-piece dresses made
of different winter materials. This is
a convenient fashion, and will relieve
the home dressmaker who cannot find
the button to match the frock.
Sleeveless Coat Yields.
The sleeveless coat yields but re
luctantly to the mandate ot the
season. - . , .,
i
Artificial Flowers Worn.
Artificial flowers are as much worn
on the corsage as ever, the roses made
of satin being as favored for this pur
pose as they are for trimming hats.
Use of Gold lace.
Gauzy gold lace is a favorite com
bination In the evening gowns of dia
phanous fabrics for the tiny sleeve
and tucker, which the smartest mod
els show. A black liberty satin prin
cess gown, so finished, is one of the
season's best models.
Blouses of Eyelet.
' The world has grown quite weary
of net blous.es. It has seen too many
of them In the past year. The mate
rial that has been substituted is fine
eyelet embroidery. This Is found In
colors as well as white and ecru. It
Is often dyed to match the suit, al
though the gulmpe is now the pre
ferred thing, as the one-piece frock Is
more and more In fashion.
Six-Gored Skirt.
The demand ot the present season
seems to be for skirts that are pleated
lc one way or another, but there is
nothing. like sameness, nevertheless,
and this one Is graceful and novel
without being of excessive width. It
is trimmed effectively with straps and
can be used separately, or with bod
Ice to match or as part of a coat suit.
The lines are all long and graceful,
and the skirt Is singularly effective,
yet absolutely simple.
Tbe skirt is cut in six gores. There
are extensions below the trimming
straps which are laid in pleats and
pressed flat, and the straps conceal
the seams' above. Tbe closing is made
Invisibly at the left ot the back.

half yards twenty-four or twenty
seven, five and a quarter yards forty

forty-four or fifty-two Inches vJAe
when material has neither figure nor
nap.
. Jet nnl Gold Dinner Frocks.
The dinner dresses favored by most
wealthy Americans and foreigners
generally are ablaze with jet or gold
In compact masses. The glittering
embroideries appear partly in bead3,
partly In spangles and cabochons of
all sizes.
Black Sable Trimmings.
Trimmings ot sable blackness arc
again to figure ceaspicuously on near
ly everything.

printer who, desiring to attend a ball
game and requiring funds with which
to regale his contemporaries, resort
ed to the expedient of "holding out on
tbe missus." Before turning In his
pay envelope he sequestered five dol
lars, and then shamelessly asked the
missus for some money. She gave
him ten dollars, warning him to bring
back the change.
At the ball game our hero got glo
riously Illuminated, spending the whole
sum of six dollars. When he returned
home the missus took one look, and
observed: "Well, I see I don't get
any change." Vafnglorioualy he
hauled out the remaining four, to
whloh he added the original holdout,
and passed over the whole nine dol
lars. "Not at all!" said she sternly.
"You never got all that for a dollar.
There is something wrong."

out, keep holding." Chicago Trlbuns.

New York. Continued mild weather
is helpful to building and other out
door construction work and facilitates
fall plowing and winter wheat growth,
but at the same time is a source of
considerable . complaint as to Its ef
fect on retail trade in heavy dry
goods, clothing and heavy wearing ap
parel. In other wholesale lines, how
ever, reports aTe still to a high de
gree favorable, holiday demand is es
pecially active and aspiring business
is being booked in good volume, ex
cept where as In cotton goods, high
prices and uncertainty as to future
prices of raw material check selling
operations.
The general tone of affairs commer
cial is 'buoyant. In Industry general
ly, the report is still one of well filled
order books and of full time run. Iron
and steel production In all Its forms
Is active, though the advance of tho
season favors a slackening of the pace
shown In October. The automobile
trade Is far behind on orders.
In cotton goods, curtailment Is be
ing still widely talked of as a proba
bility when present supplies of raw
material and orders now on the books
are used up or filled. Reports show
gains In building expenditure over the
large totals of a year ago. Commer
cial collections are good as a whole,
though feeling the restriction of re
tall demand noted above.
Commodity prices are still Inclined
toward higher levels and are now only
a small persentage below the highest
record levels.
