stout should avoid all enervating lux
uIles and habits. They should get up
early, dress themselves without the aid
OF maid, and take lots of active, jolly
exercise in the open air.
A great many women think dancing
during the party season takes the place
OF outdoor exercise
This is a great mistake 1t does
nothing of the sort
On the contrary. dancing in heated
bathrooms, in overscented and germ
filled atmospheres. is quite as likely to
prove injurious as beneficial.
The woman who is inclined to OBJ
esity must eschew all kinds of fatten-
lug foods, such as wheat, corn and
graham breads, breakfast cereals of
all kinds. pork in all forms, and all
meats containing a superabundance of
rat; fish preserved in oil, such as SAL
mon, sardines, anchovies; vegetables
containing starch or sugar, such as
peas, beans, carrots, oyster plant, egg
plant and potatoes; macaIoni, moo
dies, spaghetti, vermicelli, and sweets,
buildings and pastry of all descrip-
tons.
However it is much better for the
woman who wants to reduce her
weight to increase the expenditure
rather than to limit the receipts Of
her system.
1t is good old rule that tells us we
should always arise from the table
feeling as though we could eat more
But above all other things cultivate
your mind. develop your intellect. 1t
Is undeniable that there exists
strong bond between intelligence and
beauty. Intelligence is said to be the
beauty of ugliness, but it is also the
most vital and lasting charm of the
beautiful woman.
a man may and does grow weary of
the soft contour of merely pretty
race, but he is, and will be always,
passionately attracted to the bright
sparkle of the face lit up by a bril-
liant mind and cultivated intelligence
that sparkle in tho eyes and melt
around the mouth as their clever own

intellectual exercise is Just as BEN
efcial in reducing corpulency as is
physical exercise. Men who use their
brains constantly and actively rarely
grow too stout
Women of leisure inclined to embon-
point should interest themselves in art
Literature. study, anything. everything
that tends to improve and cultivate
their minds and give brightness and
alertness to both character and ex-
preston.
OF course the woman who is incIin-
ed to be too thin must adopt a regi-
men the very opposite of the one fol-
lowed by her stout sister.
AS a rule thin people are inclined
to be irritable, nervous, easily worried
and annoyed. They take trifles to
heart and are frightened at nothing.
* they want to gain weight and looks
they must strenuously combat this I'M
happy disposition; they must not think
so much about themselves. Let them.
instead, take up some interesting pur-
suit, which will leave them no time to
worry and fret over trifies.
1t is a wise adage that tells us to
laugh and grow fat" There is a
great deal of truth IN these terse little
words. Thin people ought to sleep all
they possibly can, take an abundance
of good, rich, nourishing meats and
starchy vegetables. But they should
be careful not to overtax the digestion,
as that uses up flesh quite as much as
does violent exercise.
They should avoid all exciting slim
ulants, such as tea and coffee. On the
contrary, they may drink malt liquors,
such as beer and porter.
The thin woman would better avoid
such meats as veal lamb and all the
others known as young meats" for

disuse.
