 Should there be no serious indigestion to retard the assimilation of food, many women. taking suf1eient exercise and rest, will gaia all the flesh they desire by drinking hot milk and chocolate freely and eating peaches, grapes, prunes and preserved figs, with some of the ready-to-eat cereals. If there Is no trouble with the digestion, and the appetite continues dainty and fckle, 1t should be tempted with variety and unexpectedness.
 The diet is the same for the young gir! who inclines to be thin and angular, but she must be cautioned against eating sweets be- tween meals.

The thin, pale, anaemic women who have worn out their nerves in most cases more by needless tension than by the strain of actual use arc the worlds burden bearers, and worry more over the troubles that never come than over those they are compelled to face. When not victims of acute dyspepsia their digestions are commonly weak, and they have stomachs whose whims demand consideration. The reason for this is that the stomach is so sympatheticaiiy affected by the brain that the slightest mental de- pression checks the flow of the gastric juices and delays or arrests digestion.
 It is at such times folly to force food upon a reluctant stomach. The want Of appetite should be respected as natures hint that the organ is for the time being out or commission. The anxious efforts to tempt the appetite should be turned to the alievaa- ton of the mental state. When the current of thought can be made cheerful and hope full the whole body will respond with m un' wonted buoyancy that, especially to the victim of chronic depression and melan- cholia, will seem like new life, and no organ will respond more promptly to the resulting exhilaration than the stomach. The cun- ningest French chef has never yet concocted il sauce which equals cheerfulness as an ap- petizer.

Nature provides the charm or full chest and well-developed bust for every woman, and the natural method to secure these Is to provide the young girl with the proper exercise In addition to tissue build ing foods But there Is also help for the grown woman. So long as the functions of life are vigorous the body is casting out old and taking up new materials. The better the materials we furnish it and the more we stimulate the process of change the fuller the life and the stronger and better devel- Uped the body. Muscles that are used by exercise must improve, and If their inherent quality is to expand they will do 1t when they have a chance.
 An the chest and breathing exercises will help the adult woman as well as the girl, and the muscles of the dropping and re faxed or the undeveloped bust should receive

special attention. Just as you can contrac' move or relax the abdominal muscles by directing the will power to the action, so can you expand and contract those of the bust. An exercise which helps to give this con- trol is to move the shoulders back and forth with energy. The backward movements pull the elbows in close to the waist, and you will impart greater force to it by clench- ing the fists with the backward thrust. Open the hand with the forward movement. Do not confound this with the inflated chest of deep breathing. To distinguish the diff ference go through the exercise once with held breath.
 Another simple exercise that strengthens the breast muscles Is to extend the arms in front, palms together, and, keeping them high, throw the arms as far back as possi- ble, aiming to touch the fingers back to back.
 To fill out the hollows in the throat and neck, no exercise brings quicker improve ment than to inhale deeply and throw the breath against the throat with force, hold ing 1t while you count from five to twenty.

strands of hair in an effective way.
 It is far easier to secure a quaint and pic turesque effect with a low coiffure than with a high one, but there are some women who do not find this artistic and usually neglic" fashion becoming. They desire to keep away from anything suggestive of the frowsy, and yet since 1t is the mode to dres> the hair low they must follow the dictates Of fashion. Such women cannot do-better tha: to adopt a half high style, that is, one tha starts rather high and gives to the head long, narrow and graceful appearance.

ider herself up to date.
 Figure eights have always been feature of the knots worn low in the neck, yet never before have we beheld these twisted coils of hair turned and pinned into such fanciful shapes. You would scarcely recognize the simple double loop in it's latest evolutions. Not that cultures are extremely elaborate; they are. instead, simple in effect, yet 1t Is simplicity rather difficult to achieve.
 Perhaps the only serious objection to the low style of dressing the hair is the arrange ment of the pompadour, and there Is a solu- tion to the question of how to keep its pretty outlines in the following suggestions:
 In the first place, it is as necessary to have a soft fulness at the sides of the head and at the crown as it was with the coiffure recently discarded, and the way to secure this Is, first. to divide the front part of the hair into three sections.
