WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The result
of Investigations into the food habits
of a number of families in the longest
ed districts of New York city in 1895
and 1886 have been made public by the
agricultural department in report en-
titled Dietary Studies in New York
City" The report was prepared by
Profs w. O. AtWater and G. D. Woods,
under whose immediate direction the
inVestiga lions We're conducted, with the
co-opera ton of the New York Associa-
ton for the Improvement Of the Condi-
ton of the Poor. The general plan of
the inquiry consisted in visiting a num-
Der of typical families in the worst con-
gested portions Of the city, observing
the kinds and amounts of food which
they bought and prices which they
paid, noting whether they obtained
good weight and measure, and subject.
ing specimens of the food materials to
analysis for the purpose of learning
their nutritive values.
The work in New York was done
mostly py LII. lsdpelle DeIdney. Inc
investigation consisted mainly of the
studies of dietaries of families of the
poorer classes, the majority of whom
were on the East side" near the juno
ton of Cherry and Catherine streets.

being invariably followed by a murder

enemies. A case in point is reported
from the N. Y. K liner Hakata Maru
from Japan via Hong Kong for Eng

anxious to learn how they might i'm
prove their habits of living. The main
results of each study are given, with
a brief discussion of the chief features.
Following this are some valuable sug-
gestions regarding the Improvement of
the food habits of city poor. 1t is i'm
possible, the report says, to lay down
any hard and fast rules which shall
govern the purchase of food by a fam
lily, as these must be to very great
extent determined by the different local
conditions.
In many of the families there was
no attempt made to spread an attrac-
tive table One of the most common
observations among those who are ia
miliar with the habits of the poorer
classes of wage workers, the report
continues, is to the effect that not
inconsiderable amount of the prev
alence of intemperance can be traced
to poor food and unattractive home
tables. Throughout all these dietaries
there was shown very little comprehen-
sion of the actual nutritive value of the
food purchased, the selection apparent
ly being made according to some whim
or taste, the presence of the certain
food materials in the market, Or be-
cause the housekeeper had become &C
customed to purchasing certain kinds Of
food. The larger number of families
spent more than they really could af-
ford for food, and yet frequently re-
ceived insufficient nourishment. The
question how these people could have
received more nourishment for the
money expended is answered only in
the most general terms. 1t is sug-
gested that one of the best and surest
ways to improve the condition of the
poor is to give them practical instruc-
lions and object lessons in the prepara-
ton of attractive, yet simple and cheap
foods. The subjects upon which the
women should be instructed include les
sons upon the most nutritious food ma
terlals and those best adapted in point

1t has now become the fashion to have
what are called demi-season costumes, and
not only gowns but hats as well. This is a
decided innovation, for in olden times it was
only considered necessary to provide ones
self with thorough outfits for summer and
winter; but now spring and autumn require
just as careful looking after, and apparently
just as many clothes. In the early spring
and early autumn people formerly did not
mind looking a little shabby. Now it is ex-
pected that not only should the gowns that
have been worn for some time be fresnened
up. brushed, and refurbished, but 1t IS re-
CURED that absolutely new gowns shall APP
pear. Fortunately, while such gowns must
be smart and new, and give hint of what
the style of the coming season is TO be, they
are not necessarily expensive.
Light wool goods are greatly in favor Tor
the spring demi-season. They are a little
too light in color as well as in texture to
wear in the street until the spring fairly
sets in, but they very charming for
house wear. Those seen now are mostly in
the wood cOlOrs and the grayS. The mats
are all what might be called decorative in
effect, quite guady, and, as a rule, of light
felt. Besides these light-colored gowns and
gaudily trimmed hats there are also many
very charming wraps and a few velvet
gowns. These last are, without exception,
imported gowns, and certainly advance
courierS of what we are to expect next WIN
ter.
There are many novelties in neckwear for
the occasional mild days when furS are not
worn First and foremost are the ostrich
feather boas, which were never so popular
as now The handSomest of them are maze
