A Man is What He Eats.
From Everybody's Magazine.


/ have seen some of these uncooked-
fruit-and-nuts people. 1 don't say 1 saw
the right ones. Like enough, 1 saw only
those who, for the good of the cause,
should never have been allowed to wander
forth into society. They one and all pro-
fessed loudly to be in the rudest physical
health. 1t seemed to me they lacked the
proper scenic accessories. A floral pillow
with Rest on it in immortelles, say about
here and a sheaf of wheat tied with pur-
pie satin-faced ribbon over there would
have seemed more natural and suited their
compilations better. AS to their mental
vigor, after had heard them talk a while
I gave right in to their most cardinal doc
trine: man is what he eats. If he eats
beef he becomes of the beef beefy; If he
eats nuts he becomes-but enough.

La Modes Dictates.

Apropos of Nine. de la Mode, there is evil
dence that white tulle and lace is the most
popular trimming for chapeaux de soiree
which are also garnished with plumes and
flowers. These are dainty miniature heac-
dresses made to fit closely on the top of the
head composed of gold or silver lace. with
large rose on either side. These. when
arranged with the artistic skill of the
Parisienne. effect an evening couture which
is decidedly becoming for matinees or thea
ter wear. They can scarcely be termed a
nat, nor yet toque, and are arranged SO
that they can be worn at those theaters
where hats are not allowed.

Marked by Simplicity.
Here in the French capital young girls
are affecting frocks of nunlike simplicity
in gray cashmere. fastened at the waist
with an art nouveau buckle and finished at
the neck with a collar and cravat of fine
plated muslin or old embroidered lawn.
One of these simple dresses deserves espe-
cial attention 1t is of soft gray yelling
instead Of cashmere, the skirt arranged IN
full plaits on each hip and falling in long,
graceful folds around the feet. The quaint
little bodice is caught up into a deep corse-
let band of silk, laced up the front with
black velvet over antique buttons. Folded
over the shoulders, Puritan fashion, Is a
fichu of cream-embroidered lawn. edged
with tiny Val. lace above a chemisette and
high collar of plated muslin. Around the
neck is a band of black velvet tied in

An Airy Finish.
The chiffon muff Is an airy, fairy finish to
the spring toilet approved by the fair Pa
risienne She finds it useful resting place
for her bunch of violets, and, again, there
is a certain amount of warmth in it's dainty
folds. To wear with the chiffon muff are
fluffy ffchus of the same fabric, which are
more becoming and elegant than the square
StoleS of last year.
charming demi-season hat is flat
toque of crumpled taffeta trimmed with a
double border of small pink roses in fes-
toons, covered with long spotted veil of
dotted brown net reaching to the waist in
the back. The long falling wells look old
fashioned and, in my humble estimation,
nothing more.
The new way of wearing the hair will
soon do away with the veil which hangs
down the back, as one Is not given to hid
ing novelty. This couture is rather in
tricate to do" though simple in effect.
The hair Is formed at the back into two
loose French twists, which meet in the
center, where they are held together in
three places by slim, long pins made espe-
cially for the purpose. The ends of the
hair are prettily coiled above the pompa-
dour. CATHERINE TALBOT.

These frocks are almost without exception

modernized by the skill of the Partisan

Air and Room

In addition to these directions of Uncle
Sam, let me suggest that you always go
through the motions near an open win
dow, and that you allow yourself as much
space as possible. This does not mean
that the work is impossible even in hall
bed room, but the less furniture in the
way, the better You can work with more
freedom and energy if you are not con-
stantly afraid of purpling your knuckles
on the chiffonier or barking your shins on
the bedpost.
The directions are given so explicitly in
the drill book that they cannot be made
clearer. Here they are, word for word.
l am going to give you the first seven, and
you must wait a week for the rest. That
means that you may learn a new one every
day. When you study, read through one
exercise carefully, trying to picture it to
yourself as you read. Then face your mirror
"a cheval glass, if you have one-and go
through the motions slowly, reading and ex-
perimenting together Do not try to mem
orize the motions until you can trust your
self to go through them accurately.

In Graceful Curves.

Learn to go through the motions in grace
full curves, not jerkily. If you will, you
can be picture while raising the arms in
circle above the head. Just as much
force can be put into a graceful motion as
into an ungraceful one, although few be-
lieve it. Several years ago. when tennis
