Lovely Woman--
What She Eats
CULTIVATING DIGESTION AS
REGULAR AS CLOCKNORK.
Every Woman Is Observing {
Special Course Mapped Out
by Her Doctor.

Do you diet, or do you not diet? That
is the question every woman is asking
every other member OF her sex. III you
admit that you do not diet, but appeasa
your healthy appetite on the ordinary good
things the gods provide, then your Kind,
enthusiastic and diet following feminine
friend will explain that to live happily and
wholesomely, to live long and decentiy
within the bounds of fashion, you really must
put yourself on some sort OF food regime.
NUMEROUS AND VARIED.
There are at least three hundred and sixty
five different menus described by as many
different authorities on health, and from
this ample variety every woman Is at
liberty to choose the course OF meals that
may seem most nearly to suit her case and
her preferences. No matter what your al il
ment may he, there is diet outlined a S its
corrective, all the way from recurring ap-
pendicitis TO early wrinkles and bother
someiy numerous gray hairs. Superabund-
ant flesh is the chief reason for practice Of
self-denial in eating.
THE MEAT COURSE.
Nothing takes off fatty tissues as
diet" explained the woman, who waved
away the cream Jug and sugar bowl and
dropped one slice OF lemon in her tea.
Sweets, starchy foods and grease are
the prime causes OF double chins and in
creasing waist measures. Anyone can
lose fifteen or twenty pounds month
by sub sisting exclusively on meat and
green vegetables. Quite 4 dozen women
OF my acquaintance have trimmed off
forty pounds in ten weeks on this diet.
In place OF sweets we eat fruit, but
breads, potatoes, etc, are utterly abJured,
though we never permit ourselves TO suffer
from hunger. Chops, steak, eggs, oranges
and a suga riess cup or cafe noir will make
iii .,ri. s.,l.
haps bit OF parched toast. The meats are
varied with vegetable salads, boiled green
things, and more fruit a t other meals, and
by keeping close to the letter OF such a diet
and ta king healthy amount of exercise tue
flesh is bound to disappear.
FOR ANAEMIC WOMEN.
"But, bless you, that is not the only
food course. I've seen some wonderfully
reduced women who added TO the meat
and vegeta bles all the butter, cheese,
milk, and cream they desired, but you
must understand that diet depends
wholly on the special ailtnent you wish
TO correct. II you are anaemic meat is
the thing and what Samson achieved
with the Jaw bone OF an ass Is not
circumstance 10 the power that IS III
wel-broiled chop. Women who want 10
get up a color and who suffer from in
somnia eat the meat course. Lily Lehman
when she was recovering from her nervous
prostration, used to eat as many as six huge
slices OF rare beef at one meal, but 1t re-
gained her voice for her.
FRUIT AND MILK ONLY.
That's all very we'll" chirped pink
and white little person among the sofa
pillows. .tbut our theory is that the
erriDg human liver is at The root OF all
evil. Just try my doctors fruit diet. 1t
consists of fruit aud milk only until dinner
time, when, for that one meal, you can
eat all and every thing You desire.
drank nearly three quarts of milk day
with grapes, oranges, apples, etc, aud
absolutely nothing else I'll p. m, and
rejoice IN 4 digestion like Swiss clock
works. This positively will put the flesh
on the barest bones, and 1 do know ever
80 many women who eat nothing but
oranges and nuts. They tell me for
long life and perfect preservation OF
beauty there is nothing like 1t. The pioneer
orange eater was q New Yorker who out
lived her generation by quarter OF
century. At eighty-five she possessed the
bloom OF thirty, and at hundred and two
when she was killed in a railroad accident,
there was not a gray hair In her head
and she had a skin like young matron.
The Princess of Wales and Mrs. Langtry
have for years been known to follow this
diet. They never, OF course, touch sweets
or cereals.
CONFLICTING VIEWS.
''Just knock a ball round the links In
a well-fought four somes and see how
plate of oatmeal will affect you," broke
in the expert golfer. 1--WE make 4 point
of eating oatmeal, cracked wheat, brown
bread, roasted potatoes, bacon, fish and
eggs. No butter or sweets are allowed,
but if you Join the golfers and leading bicy-
clists you viii find they want big bones
and muscles like leather and that's Just
what starch and bread gives one"
..But don't talk to me of meats" In
sisted a new conner Jumping up to the tea
table. .'why if you eat meat long enough
you'll become as bald as a baby, and a
victim of gout corns, not to speak of rheu :
matisIn. Green food is the only food with
English aerated bread, not even an egg Is
permitted, and no sweets, of course"
(Which seems to he the only point we
are all united on" interrupted the first
speaker, rising. but at any rate every
woman seerns earnestly eating along some
special course mapped out by her doctor.
