Lecture to a Pretty Girl Overheard In a
Restaurant.

New York Tribune: "Oh, I'm ex-
hausted with this shopping" eNclaimeda
well-dreSSed woman, rs she dropped into
seat IN restaurant that caters to the
tastes of shoppers. What shall we or
DER she added to her companion. I'm
too tired to eat anything heavy; let's have
an Ice, a chocolate eclaire and some soda
water. must eat something, or | shall
look 10 when Charlie meets us at the
matinee.
My dear child, said her elder COM
paniOn, let me give you a word of advice.
The chief aim Of every sensible woman to-
day Is to keep healthy. With health the
preservation of good looks is compar-
atlvely easy task; without it. a useless
struggle. Your body is exhausted now by
shopping. and you have po' appetite If
you want something that will nourISh your
tagging powers, without overlooking your
stomach, order glass of milk, and order
1t hot-aS hot rs you can sip 1t. You may
not like II while YOU are drinking it, but
after You have once experienced the Sooth-
ing effect 1t soon has ON your nerves and
the added strength it seems almost im-
medIately 10 lmpart. You will not o.
deferred from using it because of its pc
Cuhar taste
Now don't swallow it so fast and in
such big gulpS, she added, us her COM
panIon waS drinking the hot milk which
had been ordered. just about rs one would
toss off glass of Soda-water before the eff
ferveSceuCe was all over. Sip it slowly.
Take four minutes at least to finish that
GlaSSful and don't lake more than a good
teaSpoonful at one sip My husband is a
doctor, you know, NV dear, and have
had to listen to good many dissertations
on the chime and the chyle and the gastric
Juice and all other troublesome and un-
pleasant things which 80 to aid the
diSagreeable, but indispensable, function
of digestion; for | was once fearfully
fast eater myself, but he cared me of it.
and am going to give you little lecture
now.
When that milk goes into your stomach
it is instantly curdied.
IF you drink large quantity at once
it is curdled into one big mass, ON the
outside of which only the Juices of the
stomach can work. If you drink il iii lit
tie sips it is curdled up by itself. and the
whole glaSSfll finally finds itself in Il loose
ump made up of little Jumps, through,
around and among which the stomaCh'S
juices may precolate and dissolve the
whole speedy and simultaneously.
Many people who like milk, and krow
its value rs a Streugth-glver, think they
cannot use it because 1t gives them indi-
gestion. Most of them could use it freely,
if they would only drink ii il the way |
have described. or if they would, better
still, drink it hot Hot milk seems to
lose a good deal of its density; YOU would
almost think it mad been watercd, and it
also seems to lose much Of its sweetness,
which is cloymg to some appehtcs. Ii the
poor only knew and appreciated the value
of milk taken in this way, am sure there
would not be so much beer drinking among
them: there are thousands of hard working
scrub women, wash women, factory girls
and even shop girls in this city who drink
beer with their meals because it gives
little Stimulant to their tired bodies, and
don t understand that it is only like apply
ing whip to weary horse, instead of
giving him oats. If they only knew,
they would find in tins simple draught
us much real strength as in Il barrel of
beer
'In fact, hot food generally is becoming
more and more in favor among sensible
women who are wide awake rs to the effect
on their beauty and good health. Ices
and indigestion 20 hand in hand, cold
drinks and dyspepsia lie down together,
and warm balhon is getting to be as COM
mon as tea at receptions, at home and i've
