from matrimony personally"
What do l mean by available? Sim
ply this: ! have made the acqualnt-
ance of only one man during the en-
tire summer whom | would wish as
friend, as visitor at my house, as an
escort. That seems too much, cou-
pied with my decidedly battered looks.
But this isn't finding out how you
kept yourself in such fine order, or
rather got yourself in such fine order,
for do you know I never thought you
really pretty before"
Thank you," responded the stay-at
home, who was really much the pref
tier of the two. All the women around
the restaurant smiled.
You ask me how | have gained in
flesh, improved my complexion and
bettered my looks generally" she con-
tinued. "I'll tell you. BY eating just
before sleeping"
Nonsense" impatiently exclaimed
the tailor-made girl. That's just like
girl. She never will tell another
girl the truth when it's about any
thing that will help her to improve
her looks"
II declare upon my honor as a
soldiers sister that | am telling you
the absolute truth" hastily inter-
rupted the other. you remember
what a wreck l was, how thin I'd
grown and how pale and listless?
Well, | went to see doctor, and what
do you think he prescribed? A meal
just before sleeping. He said,
Throw the medicine to the dogs, lit
tie girl. Don't you know that no tonic
in the world does any one any good?
It's the appetite which few, very few
tonics incite that helps one, and even
that is a false appetite, though It's
better than none. A certain class of
people do not eat enough he went on,
and you belong to that class. You
have highstrung, nervous, tempera-
ment. are very dainty about every
thing, and do not actually eat enough
to keep up your vitality. What you
need is more food to raise your stand
ard of health. Half the people of this
world die of over-eating, and the other
half of undertaking or too little
nourishment.'
But, Doctor said l, I eat three
square meals a day for a girl of my
slight physique. What more can !
do?"
Then you must eat four, he an
swered, and, if necessary, five; but
by all means you must eat a meal just
before going to bed. Man is the only
animal that does not eat just before
sleeping, and there is no defensible
reason why he should form an excep-
ton, in spite of the croakings of
these health culturists who advocate
going to sleep with an empty stomach.
The complete emptiness of the
stomach during sleep adds greatly to
the amount of emaciation, sleepless-
ness and general weakness so often
met with
why, | thought eating walked one
up, that it was very unhealthy to eat
just before retiring" interrupted Miss
Tailor Made, land many are the nights
that I've gone to bed this summer
actually hungry and faint with empti-
ness because l was afraid of hurting
my complexion"
How silly!" answered the shirt
waist girl in superior tone. MY doc
tor says fasting between the long in
tervals of 6 o'clock dinner or supper
and breakfast is very bad for the
average woman, because: sleeping or
waking, in the body there is a never
