FUSSY WOMEN,

They Are Not All Slender-Don't Be-
long to Any Particular Caste.
Of what use is fussy woman in the
emergencies of life? She loses her head
figuratively, in an accident; fidgets the
patients nerves to fddlestrings in
sick room, and becomes supine and
hysterjcal in a domestic cataclysm,
says the Daughter. Does tie fussy,
fidgety woman ever enjoy herself on
pleasure trip, or, as important, does she
ever allow members of her party to
enjoy themselves? Rarely, think. I
took bank holiday excursion trip 10
Margate this year in search of "copy,"
and the full significance of the fussy
woman was borne in upon me by one
of the occupants of the third-class car
riage that l elected to honor with my
company. She was a large woman,
with large party. She upset one Of
my preconceived notions that fat wom-
en- never fuss, for she was very large,
and she fused very conspicuously. I
had watched her on the platform before
the train came in sight. She was max
ing spasmodic dives after her purse,
her tickets, her children, her lunch bas-
kets; she was evidently possessed with
the notion that she was about to lose
them. When she had cackled all into
the carriage her fussing was not fin
ished; she fused because she could not
see where the am sandwiches 'ad got
put to; she fused because George had
lost his penny; she fused because she
could not make up her mind whether it
would be better to have the window up
or down; she fused because somebody
'thort as 'ow it might be rining in Mar
git" and she had omitted to bring the
macs" The climax of her fussing was
seen when the departure bell sounded.
and Sandy" presumably her husband,
had not come back from having "arf-
and-arf' with his mate in the "reste-
| rong.' She was specimen of the low
er-class "fusser," but I have encoun-
| tered quite as bad fdgets' among wom-
en- of a higher grade, and l am not sure
| that their fussiness is not more trying
| than the fussiness of the lower-class
woman, who may perhaps be pardoned
| for not knowing any better.

OVEREATINC,

1t has been computed by some one
fond of mathematical calculations and
antithetical conceits that if the food
which is consumed in Great Britain not
only in excess of need, but to the actual
harm Of the eaters, could be saved and
sent to India, it would more than sup
ply the wants of the starving thou
sands in that country.
This computation is of course little
more than guess, but it serves to en-
phasi1e the fact that many, perhaps
the majority OF mankind above the
ranks of the very poor, sin against
themselves daily by overeating.
An English hygienist Of repute says
thata large proportion of the ills which
aft1ict men past the middle of life are
due to errors in diet, chiefly in the d.
rection Of excess in quantity. He even
goes so far as to make the deliberate
assertion. that more mischief in the
shape of Dlessened resisting powers,
actual disease and shortened life comes
to the inhabitants of Northern Europe
from their habits of eating than from
their abuse of alcoholic liquors.
And what is said of Englishmen ap-
plies with equal force to Americans.
We not only eat too much and too
often, but we eat food that is too nu-
tritious in proportion to it's bulk; in
other words, we eat too much meat.
Not only are govt and rheumatism
favored, or. as some eminent authori-
ties contend, solely caused by too much
meat, but even certain tumors are
thought by many to be fastened in
their growth by the same means.
For the majority of city dwellers, es-
pecially brain-werkers, three meat
meals day are too many; two are all
sufficient for most people, and many
are better off with meat only once in
the twenty-four hours. The other
meals should be slight, consisting of
bread, butter, cheese, milk, green veg
etables and fruit.
There is an unfounded prejudice
against nuts, which are regarded as in
digestible, but that is because they are
eaten at the wrong time. Both fruit
and nuts are excellent foods. but they
should be taken at the beginning Of
breakfast or luncheon, instead of at the
end of the meal.
The dietary rules for lenten observ-
ance which the Catholic Church i'm
poses upon its members are hygienical-
ly irreproachable, and it would be bet
ter for nearly all of us-unless the doc
tors be excepted-if these rules were
followed. not only by Catholics during
lent, but by everybody all the year
vaa,nd
