an unconstrained manner. The wedding

hemian repast at a +weil-known lunch
counter. Beside me sat a woman, gulp-
ing down a cup of coffee with a sand

huge spoonfuls Of ice cream.
Now. Maude you will just please

digestion and dyspeptic troubles for the
little woman beside her? She had her
self a dyspeptic look. She knew in all
Likelihood the meaning of the malady-
though not Its causes.
Cold food of all kinds should be taken
slowly. The reason for this is apparent
after a moments thought upon the SUBJ
ject. Digestion cannot begin until the tenn
perature of food has been raised by the
heat of the stomach to ninety-eight de-
grees. The more slowly food is consumed
the more heat it receives in mastication.
The precipitation of a large quantity of
cold food into the stomach at one time re-
duces the temperature too suddenly for
any degree of health.

hould newer be eaten, but II people will
disobey this injunction let them do so
with moderation.

requires great care. Be careful that no
perfume falls upon 1t. Be careful that no
cosmetic touches 1t. Be careful that no
oily substance is near it, and never at
tempt to clean 1t with water.
It is rather interesting to know that

Pearls are, Of course, the stones of per-
feet purity and innocence, but alas! good
pearls were never more expensive than
they are now and consequently it may
be concluded that more h three-quar-
tiers OF those worn are limitations. Still,
they are SO we'll initiated that one finds
an excuse for their existence, and that is
a wise woman who wears the pearls
given her with happiness and without
question.
Everything intended for feminine wear
or to- hold the feminine belongings is not
only dainty, but rich. When Madem-
oiselle Debutante went to the opera for
the first time this season, she carried on
her arm q long pouchlike bag, swung by
a wide satin ribbon, tied in a big bow.
It is curious to see how the bicycling
craze has already altered the size of
ladies' boots. Year after year doctors
have been preaching against the high
heels and the compressed toes of the
French shoe. They have preached, but
they have not been listened to, and all
sorts Of little hmps n shuffles have
got to have a kind of vogue, and girls
have treated their toes az disrespectfully
as if they were their waists. And now
comes the bicycle and sets things right.
The myth of the very small foot is being
exploded. Indeed, 1t was almost inevitable
it should. When you see almost level
with your eye "a thing you are accust-
omed to look at far beneath it you get a
true idea of IT'S size. A girls foot on a
pedal, now a common wayside object,
shows that good-fooking girls have gen-s
orally fairly proportional feet. There ma
come a reaction against the Chinese de-
formity and a sympathy with nature. You

appearance. And so fashion rushes in
where physicians may not tread. But the
doctors bear no malice Indeed, they or
der the bicycle for their patients, many
of them being surgeons as we'll as phy-
sicians.
Exceedingly pretty silk affairs are now
made to cover unsightly pots holding
growing plants or bowls containing flow
ers. They are bags cut in melon shape,
Of W. shades of silk. The pieces or di-
visions .of the melons are alternately in
light and medium shades. Leave one
end of the melon unsewed to the depth
of about three inches. Wire these points
and face them with lark silk on the
light and light silk on the dark stripes.
Fasten a little tastle or ball to each
pointed end. After the plant pot is plac-
ed in this silk receptacle, bend each
point outward in a graceful curve. Shades
OF green chameleon silk with little gilt
tassels make a very pretty combination
and look well with all flowers.
