Summertime sleeping presents dnd
the problem of keeping cool
yet adequately covered. Jean Dick
enson, lovely soprano star of the
Metropolitan Opera Company, has
discovered that using two sheets
for covering is the most satisfac
tory solution. Thus three sheets
are the only elements in your bed
making. Two top sheets are light
and cool, but furnish enough pro
tection for the sleeper against the
drafts and chills which often lead
to summer colds. Miss Dickenson
chooses the second covering sheet
in color — mist-green or marble
pink — giving the effect of covers,
protecting the white sheets, and
adding an attractive color-note to
her. room. The first covering sheet
is one of the revolutionary new
