The doctors will tell you. says a writer in the Brooklyn Eagle. that ireading in bed is a bad practice. and . so it is if you do it in a catch-as-ostch- ican way. But done properly and sys- ; tcmstlcally. it is one of the most .healthnt of exercises. especially for. lthose sedentarlly inclined. I myself have read in bed these many years. and i believe my fine physical condition is due as much to this practice as to any other cause. But i have a carefully de- vised system to which I adhere with unremitting persistence. 1 never read in bed by gaslight. The flicker is bad for the eyes. even if the ‘bracket is located in the right place. which it seldom is. i prefer Ii keroaene lamp. placed on a small table beside my bed. ' After standing my pillow on end to raise my head to the proposed position i draw the covers well up and tuck them closely umler my chin.

'protection of my arms and shoulders. Now. having arranged myself with due regard for my health and comfort. 1 suddenly remembered that l have not wound the clock. So I undo my swath- ings and bounce out of bed. When i am once more carefully tuck- ed under the covers I begin to feel an irresistible desire to smoke. Some- how. at this particular time. more than . at any other time the. pipe seems to be the fitting companion to the. book. So i hop oilt of bed again. and feel my way down the dark hall to my study. where my smoking materials are kept. Variety is lent to this performance ac- cording to the number and character of articles against which i stub my toes and but my shins. But it all accele- rates thought and induces a free flow of language. which is one of the inci- dentai purposrs of reading in bed.
