SOUND SLEEP...

It is the same with human beings and with growing chil- dren particular, Without sleep and plenty of it, there can no sustalued growth.

In some ways sleep is still more Important than food; but, unfor- tunately, this is not kufliciently considered.

I suggest that you should take a firm sland now and that you should insist that she gels to bed by 1.30 p.m. Get the school worse to buck you in this decision if you feel that you cannot dont with the matter yourself.

|SOME IDEAS FOR THE BEDROOM

BEDS made in light

woods, with simple rounded ends and low tops, are not always intended for the nursery. Ingenious side pieces such as cabinets, tables, and shelf fixtures to fullsized beds show that they have been planned for adults' rooms.

If your bedroom is small with limited hanging, space, why not invest in a portable wardrobe, which was, in the first place, de- signed for those who travel and are fastidious about their clothes.

It is collapsible, but it will chil-stand opened to its full size all

Winter Ration

My little girl has rarely slept before 9 pm, during the sum mer months, though she ap peared quite refreshed in the morning, should try to pet her to brit earlier now that the autumn has come?

GO,

I WOULD certainly advise you to de Children require more sleep in winter than they do in summer, and she will probably find it easier to drop off now nights are darker. “It is a mis- take to keep fitle ones up in warm rooms that are artificially lighted.

I do not altogether approve of your plan of keeping her in bed late on Baturday and Bunday mornings to Inak up steep, though I know that this plan is fairly popular.

It is much better training to send he child to bed every night at a rea- sonably early hour and to get her up at the same regular hour.
