Ways And Means

TO SLEEP

YOU do not sleep well the whole world knows about it. The re- wards of good sleep, like those of virtue, are frequently ignored because they are intangible and negative: The best night's sleep in the world will not straighten teeth, correct a mole, or re-shape a nose. We don't think of it as a beautifier.

Take a good look at yourself in the mirror after a sleepless night and you will see this is a mistake. Sleep will not build up beauty where none bloomed, but poor sleep can certainly wreck the looks you were born with, and in record time.

A forerunner of chilly days to come when you still go in for out- door sports and activities is the wool slack suit.

Austria has turned out these very good looking two and three piece sults of wool." A halter, backless. in dark colours with plain tailored slacks to match, will be quite a necessary item in y ? wardrobe this fall. Another styre is a short cardigan sweater with coloured wood buttons. long sleeves

One other thought for you and most important of all Don't worry about how you are going to sleep. You're never more sensitive -auto-suggestion than when' your're lying in bed with the lights out and the clock merrily ticking. Tell yourself you are going to sleep well and you probaby will. Never let an unpleasant thought, a problem or a self-doubt intrude upon your mind. If they do, get rid of then. If you are "loaded with work, get up and make a list

of the things you have to do. Then go back to bed and forget about them.
