up under the trees and ate between
meals until you nearly burst open. What
with the piu:ns. the APPLES. the crab
apples and the pears which you stole,
you managed to obtain a plentiful sup
ply Of perfectly fresh fruit at all hours
Of the day.
You miss the miss-or- hit diet. which
somehow did not give you indigestion,
Indigestion comes when you get home.
And. though your roasts are done to a
turn. as no country roast ever was
done. and though your steaks would
melt IN your mouth, while the country
steak was leather, and though your city
chickens are tenderer and more plentiful
than the country, fowls, still you do not
/ feel right!
Vegetables and Fruit.
The trouble is a vegetarian trouble.
/ You need more fruit, all kinds: YOU need
/ less shell Tsh. you need less rich meat.
[ you need less OF nearly everything that
I goes on the family table and a great
l deal more Of the country diet. Tt was
| skipping on everything except raw fruit
and fresh vegetables But il was long
/ on beets, on onions, on turnips and on
/ potatoes. And these are the very things
I your complexion and your spirits need.
/ Don't break or abruptly. But give them
| up Rradually-if give them up you must.
I'VE have oxtaiI soup. roast lamb. a
/ delicious entree and the best pastry in
/ town today for dinner" complained a
/ woman. and yet I DO not feel as we'll
as I did last August. when we had salt
/ pork for dinner. some green things and
| rot much else except boiled potatoes and
! corn"
! It was the green things "and not much
else" that kept the spirits cheerful. And
| the change TO the heavy city diet was
bad.
Now. the school igrI who feels the
/ change from the meadow TO the school
room. and the city woman who feels the
/ difference between the piazza and the
parior can still keep TO her old diet. She
can still throw open the windows and
she can stiu dress In loose clothing. She
can keep the same style Of dress which
she wore while away-loose, comfortable
light and pretty-and the result viii be
very apparent in her improved spirits.
Sweet Country Smells.
And there is another cause Of that
tired feeling in the fall. The city wo-
man who returns TO town misses the
music OF the country 0tlc Al4SotH Xix
cheerful sound of the singing birds and
the whispering trees. She misses al
the cheerful cricketinss and she misses
the twitterings and the glad sounds OF
country life. These she cannot supply
in the city life. But she can get other
Il things. She can get a day out In the
country now and then and she can take
trolley rides and she can steal n holi-
day when her homework is not too
pressing
! The city woman, home from the farm
misses the scents Of the country She
misses the sweet odors which were 81
invigorating and she feels the need o
the spices which were waited into hel
windows at early morning.
The city woman can supply herself
with these sweet scents il she will cul
tivate the rose jar II she VIII keel
great pots of Pot pourri in the halls anC
I'm the rooms. Each morning, after tn
rooms are busted. the tops should b'
lifted off the jars and the rose leaves
should be stirred. In the big jars ther
are all kinds OF pulveTized grasses AM
