My dear child" said her elder COM
panion, ''let me give you word of ad-
vice. The chief aim of every sensible
woman to-day is to keep healthy. With
health the preservation of good looks is
a comparatively easy task; without it, a
hopeless struggle. Your body is ex-
hausted now by shopping and you have
no appetite. If you want something
that will nourish your tagging powers,
without overlooking your stomach,
order glass of milk and order it hot.
as not as you can sip it. You may
not like it while you are drinking

the soothing effect it soon has on your
nerves and the added strength it seems
almost Immediately to impart you will
not be deferred from using it because Of
its peculiar taste"
Now, don't swallow it so fast and in
such big gulps," she added, as her COM
panion was drinking the hot milk which
had been ordered, just about as one
would toss off glass of soda water be-
fore the etfervescencc was all over. "Sip
it slowly. Take four minutes at least
to finish that glassful and don't take

seems to lose good deal of its density;
you would almost think it had been
watered, and it also seems to lose much
