PEOPLE OF OUR TOWN
It Is not difficult to solve the prob-
lem of dress for little girls In these
days of specializing. Resourceful de-
signers devote their time to putting
materials Into styles that are appro-
priate for the little miss and pleasing
to her as well. They craftily take
their cues from the "grown-up" modes,
modifying them to suit the younger
generation, as In the case of the pretty
cape-wrap shown here.
This wrap for girls In their "teens"
is a cape to which sleeves have been
gracefully added. It Is made of light-
weight velours and has a full ripple
back with a decoration of stitching In
two rows around It. It has a large
collar which Is Ingeniously arranged
to draw up around the nejck by means
of a heavy silk cord that Is threaded
through large eyelets worked In silk
like that of the stitching. The cord
and eyelets are very decorative.

WHY
DO WE CLOSE OUR EYES WHEN
WE 8LSEP?
WE CANNOT sleep with our eyes
tpcin because to be asleep In-
losing control of mo9t of
the functions of the body. When our
body sleeps, (tor brata sleeps aisO—
providing we fidfe sleeping soundly dod
Completely. A part of the brain has
the power £o open our eyes—to lift the
eyelids—and'It is only by the Action of
this part of the brain, either conscious-
ly or unconsciously, that <Jur eyes fe-
maln open. When we stop exercising
its power, our 6yCs shut.
The action Is similar to that which
occurs when an electric power plant
cuts off the power and the lights go
out. We virtually turn off the power
that keeps our eyes open and they
shut. There Is no connection between
this action 'and the fact that we sleep
lying down. This Is done merely be-
cause the body demands complete rest
and relaxation In order to secure the
benefits of a sound sleep, and com-
plete relaxation is possible only when
we are freed of the necessity of sup-
porting any part of the body.
