A Word to the Stout Woman.
1t is a mistake for a stout woman not
to have some fullness at the back OF
her skirt, and, says a writer in Har-
per's Bazaar a small hustle directly at
the back will make her look smaller
than if the skirt is allowed to hang in
below the waist. A small pad in half
moon shape that is fastened to the skirt
at each end just at the middle OF the
back makes a. surprising difference in
the hang of the skirt, and, oddly enough,
seems to take away from the width or
the hips and the size of the stomach
Vertical lines are in every instance the
WiseSt choice for women who are at
all inclined to stoutnesS. Especially in
striped fabrics this question should be
carefully considered, and the material
made up according to some pattern
which brings the lines mostly vertical.
Should the skirt be SO cut as to make
the stripes run up to point in the
back this will not interfere with the be-
coming effect, but they should never
run horizontally on a stout woman.
Tucks and pleats, too, should be planned
with this fact in mind The several
STYLES of skirts in vogue this summer
allow for all types of figure. The slim
woman may be as fluffy as she chooses;
the woman with no hips may have her
skirts trimmed in yoke fashion; the
stout woman may have tucks and verti-
cal trimming-all may look we'll if they
will merely give the matter little
thought

A Summer Novelty.

Novelties in accessories become more
numerous and varied as the season ad-
vances. and the woman who is tired OF
her present supply may repleniSh 1t
with those of undoubted style and at
Effectiveness at any moment A few OF
the many new ideas are suggested by
this quartet reproduced from Harper'S
Bazaar.
The little narrow black satin or velvet
ribbon ties that have been so universal
ly worn, as they give a touch of effec-
tiVeness to a light gown, are now con-
sidered newer when finished with a
heavy bead fringe, as here shown, in
stead of the erstwhile silk fringe or
taSSel
latest forms has taken on all the lines
of Joseph's coat and is especially de-
sirable in Scotch plaid, together with
a tie to match, as an adjunct to an
outing gown They may be had all
plaid or with the belt proper black, and
the narrow ribbon ties plaid.

bears little relation to the nutritive
value of the food. The poor mans wife,
if she understands the nature of var
ious products, can supply her family
with food as valuable for nutrition as
the rich mans wife who spends ten
times as much Cheaper foods properly
chosen and prepared will yield greater
amount of nutrition and be far more
wholesome: for the simplest food will
keep the body in the best health and
working order.
Daily Necessities.
In the first place food supplies ma
terials for growth and repair in the
body and produces heat and vital force,
and aside from the mere practical uses,
we find it plays no small part in social
life.
When providing food for the family,
the important point to be studied is the
daily requirement, not collectively. but
individually; in order to preserve an
even balance between outlay and de-
sired results in physical and mental
vigor This requires a many sided view,
as one must first consider the
nutritive value of different sub
stances, then cost, occupation,
age, season and climate, and not the
least important point, the very possible
eccentricitieS of taste and digestion.
The latter are usually the result of
careless and ignorant feeding in early
childhood, though occasionally they
may originate from some other cause.
In most cases they may be overcome
by wise treatment, but when distaste
for certain kinds of foods, such
meats, is accompanied by a disturbance
of the digestive organs, it is unwise as
well as unnecessary to try to overcome
the aversion, as there are other classes
of food from which may be derived all
the elements of nutrition found in
meats and which are more easily di-
gested and obviate all possible danger
of infection from disease germs
The Fundamental Principles.
Each meal should supply proper ele-
ments for the body's requirements
Therefore the housekeeper must have
some knowledge of the principles of nu-
triton and digestion as well as a knowl-
edge of the changes the raw materials
undergo in the process of cooking.
Chemistry and household science are
very ambiguous terms to many house
keepers who claim that they have not
the time to study these subjects. And
yet these same women often devote more
time, with the aid of the physician, in
trying to eradicate the results of their
ignorance than would be necessary for
a person of average intelligence to spend
in mastering the few essential principles
involved in the science of nutrition,
which is simply in knowing how to live
well at less expense.

Of Interest to Women.

j
spares no efforts to make herself pop
ular with her subjects. A few weeks
ago she Investigated the story OF
little musician of phenomenal talent,
with the result that she undertook to
pay for his musical education The
other day she reviewed a fleet OF 1,6OO
fishing vessels in the Zuyder Zee, ana
personally inspected five boats OF as
many types.
People who are always finding some
thing to lament over now declare that
the coming woman will be taller than
the coming man. It is a fact that the
girl of today is taller by several inches
than her mother, and this is supposed
to be the result of athletics. Since the
average man has also gone in for ath-
letics, it is also likely that he, TOO, VIII
increase in stature
China is the paradise of mothers-ln-
law, who are allowed to peat, upbraid,
ieer starve and generally nag the lives
of their MISUNDERSTANDING. Such IS the
esteem of the Chinese for their ances-
tors immediate and far removed, that
abuse from that source is respectfully
and submissiVely received. The Chlnese
ladies are not slow to avail themselves
of the precious privilege of berating
their sons wives no matter what their

Health the First Consideration.

Formally the management of house
hould expenses and details of cooking
were regarded as the most essential
branches of domestic economy. Now
we believe that the guiding principles
in the proper management of a home
must be founded on the laws of health.
Prosperity largely depends upon the
judicious expenditure of money pro-
vided for the family support, but in
order to enjoy the fruits of a careful
