Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-01-18

is, we suspect, r4ther Snaky. SLlll, Lney
may suggest something Of value to tine
fair danes and demoiselles of Worces-
ter. So here they are:
To get thin.-Bat a great deal of
chopped meat without any potato in it..
Drink little fluid OF any kind except
strong tea. Exercise great deal with
out drinking and do not eat bread, but
ter or candy. Lemonade, acid drinks Of
all kinds, and saline mineral waters are
excellent. Drink a glass Of clear water
before breakfast.
To get fat.-Eat vegetables and sleep
after each meal. Cd Go to bed at 8
o'clock and lie in bed half an hour af-
ter you wake up. Laugh great deal.
% Drink water by the pint or quart
If you can. Drink weak and sweet tea
with plenty of milk in 1t. Take cod liver
oil and sweet oils as much as you can.
Eat until you feed as If you would burst
at the table. Cd Put plenty Of butter
on your bread, and do not be afraid Of
ales, layers, and sweet wines. This will
guarantee gain Of five pounds a
month, and, If you can sleep a great
deal, of double that amount.
To have a white skin.-Eat no meat
at all. Become vegetarian; they al
ways have beautiful skin. Once in six
weeks or SO eat meal Of fresh meat.
This does away with the tendency to
scurvy--that curse of the vegetarian.
Drink as much water as you can, eat
little grease, and touch no tea or coffee
Your breakfast may be oatmeal and
oranges; your dinner fruits, nuts, fruit
preferably ounce tea-graham
mullins, caulifiower croquettes, MARINA
lade, and dishes of stewed vegetables
The diet Is not so bad when you get
used to it. In large towns you will find
n
as you.
To become very muscular.-Walk a
great DEAL carrying something always
in the hands. This develops the arms. To
roll hoop might be good If one were
brave enough to do SO in public. Prac-
tice lifting little every day. Never
milk and practice bending backward,
forward and sideways every day. At
night rub about a tablespoonful of
brandy or rum into your skin on the
under and tender part Of the arms.
To have plump hands.-Rub them with
sweet oil night and morning. Exercise
them by rubbing together. Never wear
tight sleeves or snug gloves
To Keep ones Feet Small.-This is
difficult. The first sign that one has
passed youth is the tendency to wear
a larger pair of shoes-and this is nee
essary. The feet spread and really
grow. To remedy this, wear shoes as
long as can be managed, but not as wide
as seem necessary. Never wear old
slippers around the house unless they
are snug in width, and be careful OF
corns These are never necessary while
the chiropodist exists.
To Have a Fine Color.-Wash the face
with the juice of preserved strawberries
in the winter, and in the summer rub
a ripe berry on the face. Most people
would rather eat their strawberries
than wear them.)
For a Smooth, White Skin, Without
Dieting.-Bathe the face daily with but
termilk. A preparation of tincture of
benzoin and rose water is excellent for
good prepared creams, but these are
never cheap. Do not go under dollar
for them If you want them compounded
Of fine and pure materials.
To Have Ones Garments Sweet
Scented.-Make sachet bags and slip
them in the Innings of dresses They
for year or more. Fold the bodices
Of the scented gowns and lay them
away in air-tight boxes. This fills them
with scent.
The Delta Sigma Epsilon chapter of
the w. P. I. will give its annual dance
on the evening of Feb. o. in Terpsicho-
rean Hall.
The announcement that the concert
of the Harvard Musical Clubs, which
was to have been given Friday evening,
and was then changed to Wednesday
evening, has been given up altogether
for the present, will come as a disap-
pointment to many. Mr. w. c. Quinby,
who had been appointed a committee of
one to manage the Worcester concert,
came to the city from Cambridge, Sat-
urday afternoon to find how things were
going, and seeing the state Of the case
and the unfortunate collision with an
other entertainment that would occur
II Friday night were persisted In as the
date OF the concert, decided to change
it to Wednesday, provided the clubs
were not already engaged for that even
ing. He telephoned to Cambridge, the
manager was interviewed, and as We'd
nesday was free night for the clubs
so far as he knew, he telephoned back
his consent. Upon reaching Cambridge
Monday morning, Mr.. Quinby found to
his dismay that another committee Of
one had already engaged the clubs to
give a concert in Brookline on the even
ing of Wednesday. There was, therefore,
nothing to do but resign the Worcester
engagement, postponing the concert in
definitely.
It is hoped, however, that arrange
ments can be made by which the clubs
m
airy. Next week the mid-year examina-
tons take place, which will put tenn
porary check upon all concert giving,
but between that and Lent, which
comes in on the 23d of next month, they
may yet succeed in carrying out the
concert which has this time failed to
materialize.
