Beauty Sleep.

By a Woman Chemist.)

To the woman who wishes have the complexfou and the eyes bright and vivacious, sleep is half the battle. Rest is as neces- sary for the health of mind and body as our daily food, air, and exercise.

To tone up the muscles properly the posture of the body should be watched with care. No woman can expect to retain her beauty for long who lies Incurled-up, cramped position.

The right side in the most suit- able to repose upon, because when the body is in that posture the beat of the heart is not impeded and the law of gravity assists the digestion of food.

As it is most important that there should be plenty of ventila tion, a window ought always to be: open' not only during the day but during the night, though there should not be a draught on to the sleeper.
