Those spasms occur mostly as you are going off to sleep,, but some- times they may occur while you are reading or resting by day in a chair. They may be rather frigh tening if you have not experienced them before; but generally they merely mean that you are overwork. ed, tired, worried or suffering in- sufficiens sleep or food.
Very much less commonly they are of deeper significance. But that is so only when they begin to ocear in a person who has never suffered from them before and in whom there is not present of the causes of exhaustion above men- tioned. The diseases in which theso spasms. sometimes appear early are various nervous disorders, toxic diseases of the thyroid gland, and excessive consumption of alcohol.
But do not ignore entirely these starts or spam. Remember that they imply that you are overdoing things. If possible take a holiday, get more sleep, more exercise, more mental recreation. Although theso spasms are seldom of any serious import you should regard them as 4 warning,to take yourself in hand before more serious manifestations of overwork appear

There are essentially decorative weaves in which beauty of design is the effect desired. When buying these fabrics it is wise to make sure that they are, of very good quality and workmanship, otherwise the threads which build up the design may break easily, yield to the slight. eas friction, and give much trouble during the wash.
