says The Gentlewoman,' us TO exercise
great care in the selection of ones ances-
tors. If possible. select those on both
sides who have lived to be a hundred
years old. Ancestry, or heredity, have
much to do with disease, more especially
with nervous disorders.
'Heredity is only predisposition, and
one can do a great deal to ward off her.
| edity-that is, to ward off the tendency
to predisposition.
Zone way is to have three generous,
varied, and well cooked meals per day.
Take plenty of time to eat them-at the
very least thirty to thirty-fve minutes,
better still, one hour, especially for din
ner. The surroundings and conditions
under which the meal is eaten should be
pleasant. Food is worse h wasted
which is taken into the system when Ia
boring under great excitement, grief,
anxiety or other disturbing conditions.
Leave all health foods and all fad ar
ticles of diet alone, as you would snake
poison, and just remember that all we
know about diet is that we have teeth
and digestive fluids to take care of pretty
nearly all kinds of food, which is a pretty

Take eight hours sound sleep. Not
eight hours in bed, but eight hours
sleep. If you do not fall asleep easily,
or the sleep is broken n restless, or
you lie awake an hour or more after go
ing to bed, you should remain in bed ten
hours. There is not a case in history OF
a person who did with less sleep and
kept his health. The story of Napoleon's
six hours sleep has had a pernicious eff
feet upon many who resembled him in
nothing except their endeayor to get
along with less than the natural amount
of sleep.
Every woman should get a certain
amount of moderate exercise in the open
air. 1t makes no difference what kind of
exercise is taken SO long as it exercises
all the muscles and is not followed by
a sense of fatigue.
1.-THE question is not what exercise you
think you ought to have, but what you
can endure. If you find that you can only
walk one hour each day without becoln-
ing fatigued, then that is enough. If you
cannot take that much exercise, then
walk half an hour, bus If half an hours
exercise ~exhausts you SO that YOU do not
quickly recover after a short rest, then

Under the title The American Girl Who
Leads an Empire" Edward Page Castor
writes interestingly in the February
"Woman's Home Companion" of the re-
sponsihilities undertaken by Lady Curzoa:
1T sometimes devo.ves upon the wife OF
the Viceroy TO give audience 10 a native
Maharajah alone, when it is her duty to
advance and meet him ION the threshold.
and duly wave him to a seat, after which
her American tact prompts her to speak or
the satisfaction it is to see him IN her
home, to inquire after the health OF her
distinguished guest and his family, and to
pay him all the usual compliments of the
season. AS the ladies OF the viceroyalty
generally make it understood that they
can accept no gifts of value from their
subjects the exchange of tokens is con-
fined to photographs.
Two thousand guests are sometimes
present at the state balls, when the vice
royal party is conducted by an imposing
