What not to eat and what not to wear
are considerations which are more i'm
portant to the woman who stays in the
city all summer than the positive side Of
the question Is to those who 90 to wa
tering places for the season.
If you wish to keep cool do not eat
nam or pork in any form.
Do not eat cornbread or cakes.
Do not eat "boiied dinners"
Do not believe the popular deluSion
that hot drinks are cooling.
Do not wear hiEh-neck dresses In the
house. No mutter how bony your throat
may be, the Improvement in your tenn
psrature will be sufficient compensation
10 those about you for ull its spaIenees.
Do not eat much confectionery. All
the sweets necessary to the system are
supplied by the fruits. which should be
the chief article OF diet.
Do not wear high shoes at all.
Do not wear three or four skirts for
modeSty's sake. Comfort and health
ore much more important
Do not wear corset cover With
Bingham shirt waists, Il is not neces-
sary, and there should be no other rea-
son than necessity for any garment on
a hot day.
Do not wear a corset at all, II your
figure will permit OF Its removal.
Do not wear light sleeves, Faehlon
does not require them in summer
dresses.
Do not wear gloves. Both comfort
and economy will be the gamers there
by.
Do not wear a Jacket on the street
unless it actually conduces to your COM
fort. Every man goes without his coat
over n negilgee shirt In midsummer,
and nobody crlticises him for doing It.

not at all likely that the terms of the

the matter takes some shape. The de-
r1aads that will be made by this govern
ment, are. necessarily, not yet known,
but the concensus of opinion seems to be
that they will be such as Spain. which

President, 1t is said, is opposed to this.
Judging from statements in the wash-
ingtOn dispatches. the course of Presi-
dent Mckinley will not be a radical one,
but one which will amply repay the gov
eminent for the expense of the war,
accomplish its declared purpose to free
Cuba and to drive Spanish rule from the
