tic economy generally, in the Ladies'
Home Journal (for February, for when
magazine she will hereafter write eX
clusively, gives this advice concerning
mixed diet, ETC.: LAS all things have
been given u: by nature for some good
purpose, L have always advocated a
mixed diet. If nature had intended us
for meat eaters only, we would have had
meat teeth alone; but we have grinders
for the masticating and the grinding Of
grain, which teaches us at once that
mixed diet is necessary.
People are rather conservative in
matters of change, especially regarding
food, looking back upon what their
grandmothers did and upon what they
lived, forgetting that their grandmoth-
ers were much more active in domestic
duties than they are, and were obliged
to take such food as they had at hand.
Bread was then the staff of life, and
rightly, too. 1t was made from natures
wheat, containing all the phosphates,
the muscle-forming food and heat ami
force food necessary for feeding Now
this wonderful grain, in our manner Of
preparation, has been robbed of the
phosphates and a portion of it's muscle
food, and as the poorer classes depend
more upon bread than the middle or up
per classes, they have suffered most"

short neck. The finish was cheered by
thousands and gained for Miss Cram
many friends and laurels.
Miss Cram Is young woman, excep-
tionalyy pretty and very popular in her
home.
One young woman must not be
overlooked in this interesting recital
of wonderful out of door accomplish
ments. She is Mrs. f. A. Rnehart, the
wife of a Denver photographer, and her
recent performances on the wheel are
certainly remarkable. Her favorite
spin is a century, and a short time a
in twenty successive days she reeled
off twenty of them, aggregating more
than 2100 miles. She Is q sturdy and
daring wheelwoman, and lately, in COM
pany with Mr.. W. r. Marshall of the
Denver Athletic club, made fast CEN
tury to Colorado Springs out of Denver
and back.
Together they made the distance of $50
miles in sixteen hours and ten minutes,
over half the distance being covered
against a strong head wind 1t was the
first time the trip has ever been made by
@ woman.
The two riders started out on their
long ride at o'clock in the morning and
Colorado Springs was reached at 1: 80 in
the afternoon. On the return journey
they had the wind to combat and Denver
was not reached until $40 p. m.
Mrs Rinehart has also gained the
worlds woman's century record by rid
| ing over the Evans course in eight hours
and five minutes, distance of 104 miles.
In, speaking of her cycling exploits,
Mrs. Rinehart says: "The chief reason I
| can give for being able to out-distance
other lady riders is that 1 am not afraid
| to ride alone. l always ride when feel
| in the mood for it, and I make it an in
| variable rule to dress for comfort and
service rather than discomfort and use
| less style.
| "As a rule l take my time when on the
| road. making occa sional sprints to make
| up for oafing, and invariably finish my
centuries early in the evening. Gener-
| ally I ride alone, but | am never afraid
and never stop. except to take some re-
! freshments, and 1 ride all the hills pos
| sible.
There has been a great deal said
about my killing myself, but / would like
to state that l weigh 142 pounds. two
pounds more than when l began riding
year ago | fell off some during the
warm summer weather, but have stead
lily gained since"
Mrs. Rinehart's years performance
puts total to her credit of 116 centuries,
covering distance of 1900 miles.

Portable cold weather substitute for
silk, it is probable this style of bodice
will retain its popularity during the
summer, the fur, of course, being elim-
mated from the material used In the
making thereof.
This brings home the fact of the slight
difference which women make nova
days in their dress for summer and
winter compared with what they once
did. Nowadays cloth gowns and tweeds
are worn the year round. Some of the
smart set have adopted the large linen
embroidered collars edged with frill.
these being worn with velvet gowns.
With these are worn the twice-around
cravats, sometimes. There is no one
sort or size of basque that has received
the particular Endorsement of fashion.
With outdoor coats of a certain sort.
the basques are longer, but this is not
the case with the trimmed velvet jack

The Sea

How grandly those heavy waves are
rolling in upon this long shingle- beach,
Onward they come, with an even, delib-
crate march that tells of power, out of
that lowering sky that broods over the
southern HORIZON; onward they come.
onward! onward!-each following its
predecessor in serried ranks-ever COM
ing nearer and nearer, ever looming
larger and larger, like the resistless le-
gions of a great invading army, sterply
proud in its conscious strength; and ever
and anon, as one and another dark bill
low breaks in a crest of foam, we may
fancy we can see the standards and en-
signs of the threatening hosts waving
here and there above the mass. Stin
they drive in, and each in turn curas
over it's green head and rushes up the
sloping beach in long-drawn sheet Of
the purest white foam. The drifted
snow itself is not more purely, spot
lessly white than is this sheet of foam-
ing water. How it seethes and SPAR
kles! How 1t boils and bubbles! How
it rings and Kisses! The wind sings
shrilly out of the driving clouds, now
sinking to a moan, now rising to a
roar; but we cannot hear 1t, for its
tones are drowned in the ceaseless rush
ing of the mighty waves upon the beach
and the rattle of the recoiiing pebbles,
Along the curvature of the shore the
Shrill, hoarse voice runs, becoming
softer and melloWer az it recedeS: while
the echo of the bounding cliffs confines
and repeats it and mingles it with the
succeeding ones till all are blended on
the ear in one deafening roar.-Philip
Fl. Gosse.

Ladies' heads and hats tend to disap-
pear in the collarette. The latter is made
in cloth, green or black shades general
ly; rather heavily embroidered, and
with feather or fur trimming. Sealskin
fur is very expensive this year, but Sar-
dinian sheepskin is so elegantly prepar-
ed that it can replace the more costly
furs without being questionable. The
tailor costume is extensively patronized,
further evidence that the useful sur
wives.
Hats are trimmed either all black or
purple, or shades of the latter; felt is the
material, though thick straw is very
general. AS a rule the trimming, if
light. is snowy; the feathers are gener-
ally fastened by an artificial diamond
buckle; the feathers are worn in rather
elevated aigrette style and nodding far
frontwards. Velvet and ribbon follow
in fancy-Marcella Ward in the House

One of the prettiest effects In head
wear Just now is found IN the flower
toques. A very charming specimen Is
made entirely Of pansies. On one side
is chou of dark velvet, with one Of
violet velvet, while long white osprey
adds beauty and effect to the Drown.
One of the hats which has attracted
particular attention is shaped like q
covered canvas and black velvet ribbon
mushroom. 1t is made of HoFand.
At the left side and just over the ear
are two pink roses, while two black
feathers at the top add elegance and
effectiveness to the whole. Returning
to the toque. it would not be fair to dis
miss the subject without saying some
thing of the very charming arrange
ment whose crown is made UP of plated
black tulle. The trimming Is Of black
ostrich feathers.
And now that the winter dullness has
gone from us, and spring cheer Is ours
by at least every technical right, we
can talk about all these things and be
up to date. To be sure it is Lent, and
one must have bit of grave with the
gay during that period. but we will all
get special dispensation from Dame
Fashion, and in modern eyes that il

Fashion Notes From London
Ladies have plenty of materials and
patterns from v hich to make up their
winter wardrobes. Black is, perhaps,
the most general color to be met with;
then darkish shades Of violet and
green. Skirts are narrower, drawn we'll
to the back, and either wholly plain or
moderately trimmed. Brocaded satins
are in vogue.

cided, and were it possible to take vote

Smote the swaying, emerald crown

Why? True lovers understand.

After birds began to sing,
For an hour.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Fashion is sup
posed to step one side when Lent appears
However, 1t is so often the unexpected
that happens, that it is no surprise to
learn about the great attention being
paid this season to Lenten costumes.
Naturally they will be black to great
extent, but there has been no little re-
Taxation from the sombre hues of other
days this season and that is why the vio-
let taffeta silk and fawn and nuns grey

A sweeping cap that Is model of its
kind has a deep cape attached which
buttons under the chin; visor piece
across the face just below the eyes, but
.oning at the unattached side, this to
prevent the dust from entering mouth
and nostrils. Such cap is provided by
neat housekeepers for their maids use,
as well as for their own occasonial
handling of the broom. OF the two the
maid needs it the more, since her dusty
hair and skin are not likely to be so
quickly remedied as in the case of the
mistress, point housekeepers often
forget or ignore, in failing to provide all
possible aids to cleanliness in the house
work.
Excellent sweet sandwiches are made
from nuts and stoned raisins chopped
fine and moistened with very little
icing. These are used best with brown
bread or crackers. Cardied fruits, cher
ries, plums or pineapples make a deli
cious sandwich filing, minced fine and
moistened with wine or lemon juice.
1t is a golden rule of all sandwiches that
the filing should be minced if possible,
and moistened into paste with some
suitable sauce, juice or other amalga
mator. tablespoonful of whipped
cream is useful for this purpose, or
plain cream may serve. If the cream is
used with meat ii should be salted; if
with fruit, sugar may be added.
Although it seems almost crime to
cook tender, crisp celery, heads of this
vegetable often find their way to the
kitchen that are preferred served hot.
Cut such stalks into tWo-inch lengths
ard blanch in boiling water for five min
utes. Pour off half the water adding
a cupful of white stock, and boil
the celery for fifteen or twenty minutes
longer, or until tender, seasoning with
salt and white pepper. Drain and set
aside in a hot dish, while the liquor ir
which it has been boiled is converted
into a sauce by the addition of a little
thickened butter and flour and wine
glass of Madeira poured in at the last
moment. Pour the sauce around the cell
cry and send to the table in a covered
dish.
Black gowns gain in favor for evening
wear, says a writer in the New York
Evening Post, and one can hardly law
ish too much jet garniture upon them
