A Pita for Sin Beds.
Two in a bed is the custom of
sleeping in United States, at
least, and also in Canada and Eng-
land. But in Germany and France
single beds arc rule. The lat-
plan is more healthful and
comfortable. It is gradually coining
into in this country.
beds involve more linen, work
in making beds more washing,
I never a family lo re-
turn to the old plan after once
giving beds a fair trial. Es-
summer is single

on the lo two a bed.
Many families declare they never
knew what comfort was during the
hot summer nights until they
adopted the single beds. I might
add a word of protest against
lowing babies or young children to
sleep with old people. The latter
certainly draw upon vitality

true as between any bedfellows one
