In some ways sleep is still more Important than food, but, unfor- funately, this is not sufficiently considered.
Our grandmothers as a general whole showed more wisdom where long nights in bed were concerned. nithaugh they knew less about Vitamins and food values, and that 1s perhaps why their children compared favourably with ours in sturdiness and intelligener.
They believed in regular bed- Umes at an early hour, and they saw to it that their theory was practised.

ELIEVE me, this year's fashions are deceptive. You see an elaborale coat piled up with fur at hem and neck, yet round the waist they are as chilly as a creaking door.
For an every-day winter coat in this country I like something that keeps out the draughts and is good for all weathers. The two coats I am going to tell you about are certainly that.
You have only to look inside to see how warm they are. The first is in fine quality herringbone tweed, well tailored, with stofn collar and plenty of wrap in front.
It is lined throughout with heavy artificial silk, but the cunning part is an interlining down to the waist of real chamois leather to give cxira protection against chill.
The colours are grey, blue, and fawn mixtures, and the sizes asw, sw, w and wx.
The other coat, a Walmacot, k in navy only a beautiful quailty pilot cloth, cut with belt and side pockets. Look inside and you will sce not only a good artificial silk lining, but a quilted interlining right through-ns In the Alu- tration.
The sizes are the same as the other coat.
