ON KEEPING WARM.


Among the absurd notions that
sometimes lodge in the dear brain
of woman is the idea that it's
terribly nice" to wear limsy, sum
merry undermuslins all winter. II
may be terribly nice, and it may be
a bit more becoming, but it is also
terribly injurious to ones health.
Moreover, ones vanity should be
the very thing to advise one to dress
warmly and comfortably, for a
chilly, shivery individual is usually
radiant with blue or purple nose,
and respondent with teary eyes and
ohattering teeth.
The woman wQo is comfortably
dressed looks it. She is serene, at
ease, unhampered by physical dis
comforts, and is, therefore, placidly
content. Of course to be comforta-
bly, dressed does not mean that all
women shonld wear an equal
amount or weight|of underwear; for
some women are constantly chilly,
even in a moderately warm room,
while others go out the coolest day
and pronounce themselves quite
warm. Everyone should study her
own physique enough to know the
quantity sof warm clothing neces-
sary to her comfort, and h aving
found it, never depart from that
weight. All wool is much lighter
and warmer than any mixture, but
it is also much mora easily shrunk-
on by bad washing, and, therefore,
apt to be moro expensive in the
end. A little cotton makes the gar
1nents last longer and enables one
to wear white instead of the rather
unbecoming gray woods. Above all
things, keep warm through the alb
domen, and you will find you resist
colds and are freer from pains than
you ever were before in your life
if you have not always taken such
precautions
1t Is perfectly astonishing how
many people the last few days are
greeting you with the announce
meut that they have the ''worst col d
they ever had in their life, are all
stuffed up, and its perfectly horrld.'
ASK them if they have yet put on
their winter things: 'oh, no why it's
altogether too early. We'd roast.
Well, perhaps they would roast, but
1t ia very certain they would not
have their colds, and that would be
something. if one was to Judge by
the fuss they are making over their
aches. One reason the colds are so
numerous IS at very many people
havo not vet started their fur naces,
either through thinking it would
make the house too warm, or because
they are unable yetto get coal.
As a consequence, shoppers go
home after an afternoon in q hot
shop and sit down to dinner i'll an
unheated house, to arise with Il cold
in the head and temper, con WINGED
that things are going wron 1t
Isn't the things, it's tho clothing.
If a woman is not sufficiently clad
her mind dwells on her misories,
and all that's spirited and vivacious
in disposition doth depart i'll high
haste
Health first.
Then beauty.
Beauty is but daintIer name for
health, anyway,
1t isthe woman with thesparkling
eyes, the rosy Checks, tho fine red
lips, splendid muscles, and clear,
healthy skin who receives our in
ward and our putspokun admiration.
The moment i'll health taxes The
relng, what do we have ? Gaurt,
hollow cheeks, sunken eyes, thin,
sCragely locks, anl worst Of al,
fre.fulness aud bad humur.
Nothing Lrings it more quickly
than Startin. IN the winter with too
few warm Clothes and too low shoes.
Keep yourself warm, and the roses
will come Of the nseives, Just as they
Say CT the penuics, keep the pennies
and the dOltars VIII take care Of
themselves.
