Fruits are more appetizing, and, per-
haps. more easily digested. if taken IN the
early part of the day-whether or not pc
fore the breakfast must be determined by
the eater, says the Ladies Home Jour-
nal."s
Grapes, oranges and shaddocks may De
! served before the cereal. Baked apples'
| peaches, baked bananas, figs. dates,
prunes or stewed fruits should be served
at the close of the breakfast.
Raisins, sultanas. dried figs and prunes
| should be soaked thoroughly, so that they
| may take up the same amount Oh water
with which they have parted in the pro-
cess of drying, and should then be heaeeo
lust enough TO soften tue sNihS
The sub-aeid fruits. such as apples
ags. dates. peaches, persimmons, peais,
prunes and apricots, are. perhaps uhe
best of the winter fruits, and may be nseo
to good advantage with animal foods.
Acid fruits must at all times De useu
sparingly. especially by persons lnchneo "
rheumatic troubles. The continued use
of an orange or shaddock before break
fast will diminish the power OF stomach
digestion. for which reason they shouid
be served with cereals. or such tooos az
require only intestinal digestion.
The papaw and pineapple belong 10 d
class alone. They contain a Veselapie
pepsin which assists in the digestion Oh
the heterogeneous principles. These 1ruits,
| then. may be served with meats, ana Wili
aid in their digestion; when served Win
bread and butter they do not form SO
good a diet. They are more aigestipie
raw than cooked, as the heat destroys inc
activity of the ferments-
Apples as a rule. are more easily oisest-
ed cooked than raw, although raw apples
are more palatable.
The fashion of adding sugar to fruits
should be avoided. as they haye alreaoy
been endowed with sufficient amount q
sugar. and as all the starch ana cereais
are converted into any furthef
amount would be stored in the system 10
its detriment. If our .bllous lrieiuo
would throw aside their liver pills ana
with them, sugar. they might pc Tree
from much discomfort.

for evening wear, with either glrdles,

Where short sleeves are not preferree'
the long. transparent mousquetaire sleeve
is still quite popular.
Jalouse is the name of a fashlohapie
shade of yellow, that is also called orient
and Regent in Paris and Berlin. There
* scarcely a h~alf-shade's difference in the
three. An especially deep orange Is called
Klondike, though no gold was ever SO req.
A new medium violet shade IS called
aconit. +.
Among the new shades are SIX tones Oh
eendarme blue, from the deep, duh colors
TO a pale. pearly gobelin tint. Some lovely
forget-me-not shades are seen in the pale
hines and three exquisite turquoise tints
are strongly imbued with a clear green
tone. Rose pink and old rose colors are
seen. and there are a dozen beautlful
shades of soft, pure gray.
It is noticed that the skirts worn by
vo,,ng girls are usually free from trim
ming in walking and reception costumes.
Sometimes a simple fur border is used,
or at most, braiding, but the trimming
is never so elaborate as that worn py
their Mothers or married sisters. For
the same reason the principal mm1n
sra reserved for the bodice, and the
sleeves show little decoration, except IN
