and great deal more of the country
diet 1t was skimping on everything ex-
cept raw fruit and fresh vegetables. But
it was long ON beSts. on onions, on tur-
nips and potatoes. And these are the
very things that the complexion and the
spirits need Don't break off abruptly.
But give them up gradually--if give
them up one must.
Now, the schoolgirl who feels the
change from the meadow to the school
room, or the city woman who feels the
difference between the piazza and the
parlor can still keep 10 her old diet She
can still throw open. the windows and
she can still dress IN loose clothing. She
can keep the same style of dress she
wore while away-loese, comfortable,
light and pretty-and the result will be
very apparent in her improved spirits.
The city woman, home from the farm,
misses the scents of the country. She
misses the sweet odors which were so in
yigorating. and she feels the needs of the
spices which were waited into her win
dows at early morning
y The city woman can supply herself
wifi these sweet scents if she will cufi-
vate the rose jar. Ii she will keep
great pots of pot pourri in the halls and
in the rooms Each morning, after the
rooms are dusted, the tops should be lift
ed off the jars and the rose leaves should
be stirred In the big jars there are all
kinds of pulyerized grasses and these will
give forth sweet smells and send them
sweeping through the Railways.
The school girl can have her jar of
potpourri., and SO she can always obtain
a sweetly scented room.
|. But the school girl must exercise, so
She can kee. her muscles in good shape
and her lung full of air, even though
she is no longe.,, in the country.
A crystal craze now holds sway, Crys-
tai eseritoire sets are works of art.
The newest in individual salt cellars
is clear glass block with d circular
depression for the salt
An insalid's jar for the crackers or the
little delicaeies that an invalid likes to
have convenient on the beside table is
small edition of the usual cracker jar
shape in cut glass.
Toilet articles are also made of crystal,
clear and colored. One luxurious woman
whose-dressing room is in white and gold
has her dressing table set with bottles,
boxes, trays, ETC., of clear crystal, upon
each Of which is stamped her monogram
in heavy gold relief. In mauve and green
with touches of gold, these sets are very
pretty, and one set in rose-hued crystal
were quite enchanting.
Crystal lambs of blue, red. green and
the aplber and bronze tints are shown
among the novelties, and crystal candle
sticks are more in demand than those of
silver or brass. Slim, clear crystal can
die sticks with futel shades of aowered
chintz are charmingly ornamental and
useful on my lady's desk or mantel shelf,
especially if the apartment be furnished
in light colors and quaint style. 2
Silks are to be worn more than ever
throughout the autumn. but only the
softest of silks win be used. Silk warp
fabrics viii also be much in demand, and
the crepe weaves will show lovelier de-
signs and colors than ever seen before.
But this fononess for silk does not mean
that cloths are not TO be used. Broad
cloth was never so much the fashion as
right now, and all the smooth-surfaced
cloths with q lustrous finish are extreme
IL modish. Broadcloth will be combined
with taffeta, or with velvet, in the same
color. and frequently will be trimmed
with buttons. which Illustrate the match
