prudent way, to Give by rule" That
means rise, breakfast, dine, sup and re-
tire at as nearly the same hours every
day as you can. Cleanse your body both
inside and out with regularity Clothe
yourself uniformly at the same season.
It is risky in the extreme to go out in
furs in the morning and then to drive to
an entertainment in the evening with a
light opera cloak thrown over bare neck
and shoulders.
The simplest form Of living is in the
open air. Get all the fresh air, there
fore, that you can. Go out to walk in it
every day. Ventilate every room in
your house every morning. Never sleep,
unless except in the most bitter weather,
without an abundance of fresh air in
your chamber. Wear flannel night
gowns, night caps and mufflers if neces-
sary, and, while using ''comfortables' no
more than you are compelled to, do not
be afraid to employ plenty of blankets
and down quilts. Do not sleep in
draught, unless heroically protected, and
do allow heat to radiate from your fur
mace throughout the house if you want
it; but insist upon having IN abundance
also, that rarest boon of the modern
dwelling house, fresh air.
Let your clothing be plain, warm, light
and loose There is no foe to simple liv-
ing like the clothes fiend. 1t introduces
all sorts of ghastly complications into
our modern life. Dress for the weather
without regard to the calendar. Refuse
to carry, at the behest of fashionable
dressmaker, several pounds more Of lin
ings and draperies and jet trimming than
you need to. Give every organ Of your
body room to do its simple duty. A re-
stricted circulation, and vital organs
misplaced and tightly pressed by the
vicious system of dress now in vogue are
at"the bottom Of two-thirds of the horri-
BILE, nameless diseases of women.
The praise of simplicity is in all mems
mouths, but, as with many another vir-
tue, its praise and its practice are two
very different things. Many have fallen
into inconsistency in this regard from
ignorance; yet even for those who un-
derstand it-that ''first step in nature
and last in art''-its pursuit, under the
urfavorable conditions of modern life,
is sufficiently difficult. In 'ssimple liv-
ing" however, lie the germs of true and
and abiding happiness.

How 70 Disguise the Taste Of Medicine
A strong solution OF extract Of licorice
destroys the disagreeable taste of aloes
Peppermint water disguises the nauseous

oil cannot be tasted if beaten and thor

Another method of covering the nauseous

A good piece of advice floating about

wish to be agreeable in society, you
must be content to be taught many
things which you know already" 1t
might be well to add that you must be

stories than in your own, in their affiic-
tions than yours, and be careful not to
far outdo them in dress or entertain

In Lovers Walk the wind is wild;
To right and left the leaves are piled,
Or writhe amid the branches bare,
Or pad the runways of the hare,
Yet here the sweet June days have smiled.
With wonders then the woods were aisled;
The freshest rose and airs most mild
Were found by those who wandered there
In Lovers Walk.

That were with whispered words beguiled
When larks were reeliM in the air,
And scents were blown from everywhere,
The wind Is sobbing like child

A new method of teaching the blind to
write has been invented by a French
lady residing in Anglers. For some
years Mile. Mulot has been doing all in
her power to alleviate the sufferings Of
those who have been deprived of eyesight.
Mile. Mulot has been three years in
bringing her new method to perfection.
The system is a very simple one Asmall
album Of 5 by inches, having two brass
gratings at the corners, contains all the
arrangements necessary, and the writing
is done by a hard pencil upon soft paper.
The letters taught are Romanin character
and very angular or square in outline.
OF course each letter is separate, which
makes it very easy to read. New York
