eating half-cooked cereals. Nothing, he
declared. was more ruinous to the diges-

cooked cereals. He included all the In
Simultaneous foods of this kin in his dfa-
tribe, declaring that all were equally
indigestibla, and ended with the dictum
that any cereal must be home-cooked for
at least five hours before it is in proper
condition to be eaten. While this is,
perhaps, a rather. radical view, it is one
that is held by many authorities in do
nestle science. Every h-ousekeeper will
like to err on the right side, and she will
find tina 1t is really a simple thing to
cook the breakfast cereal over night.

By bedtime, when the kitchen fire goes

It is probably no more a woman's bust
ness to maxi herself agreeable than It
lization we have allotted that duty to
her. We look to her for the finer graces
Of life, and to meet a woman who has no
quality of personal charm is to sustain a
shock for which no number of previous
disappointments seems to prepare US.
She is a misfit in society, a discord where
we expected harmony, a flower without
perfume, a bungler whose mistakes seem
worse than crimes. Nothing makes up
for it, neither wealth, nor position, nor
beauty, nor cleverness.
Lacking charm, she lacks the most win
ming or all womanly attributes, and it IS
strange indeed that so few should think
it worth their While to cultivate the graees

deed whenever the least apology would be
in order; when he offers his services in
any way, ever tacitly, or shows her some
trihing courtesy; and he should always
raise his hat when acknowledging her
thanks. A man should pay the same
mannerly tribute to her sex when a wo-
man enters an elevator, and remain I'M
