The prices charged by the countess
In her new shop are even higher than

charges fabulous prices for simple lit

elsewhere for $40. She asks s50-and

The Woman Of Leisure Often Eats Too
Much and the Woman Of Busi-
meas Not Sufficient.

We hear great deal about every
ones eating too much.
Most people eat too much at the
wrong time, but many more people eat
unintelIigently, writes Margaret Hub
bard Aver. In the New York World.
Women. in particular, do not apply
half as much serious thought to the
question Of nourishing their bodies
properly as they do to clothing them
selves attractively.
II you had a fine sewing machine
you would not allow It to get rusted
for lack Of little oil. nor would you
pour the oil over 1t after It was thor
oughly fabricated. or let It get clogged
for lack Of cleaning. Your body Is
much more intricate than your sew
ing machine-needs more delicate ad-
Justment and more thought to keep 1t
in order.
The mother who disobeyed the doc
tors orders. giving her sick child solid
food. only did what many other moth
ers do daily when they press food on
the child whose stomach has already
rebelled at too much overlndulgence.
In the vain hope OF strengthening it.
1t may be said with safety that the
women OF leisure err on the side OF
eating too much. while the very active
business or professional woman does
business or professional woman does
herself equally as much harm BY not
eating enough. Food should not b
taken in large quantities. but IL
should be taken at reasonable and
regular intervals by the working wom-
an anyhow. No one rule Of diet ap-
plies to all individuals. Different oc-
cupations, sedentary or active. neces-
sitate different diets Vegetarianism
may agree with one person and make
another feel weak and negative.
The foundation Of success IS health.
and IN order to be healthy each one
must study and observe the require
ments Of her own constitution. II is
not intelligent for a woman to allow
herself to become cranky. nervous, lrrf-
able and haggard-looking because she
has not devoted as much time to study
ng her own physical needs as she does
70 observing and catering to those OF
her pet canary.
The woman who overeats has only
lerself to thank for the unpleasant
results. She knows betters-if she
loesn't, one experience ought to teach
Ter. The woman who undereats or
rho eats what simply tastes" and
Ioes not nourish her need not con-
ider herself intelligent.
There are plenty Of good books on
let and the value of foods. and to be
gell nourished requires neither much
money nor much time-merely some
hought on the subject.
1t is not intelligent to 60 bargain
uniting and return with a sick head
che for lack of glass of milk or q
owl OF soup at lunchtime.
1t is not intelligent TO become old.

turned up 1T san Fernandez with this
story: lie had crossed from Key West

could understand He had no wish 10
DO anything but fight against a land
that would give him no chance of re-
,rieving himself--in fact like the hero
in Everett Hale's story, he was a man
without u country.
General Gonzales reflected consider
ably on this proposition. Trllany's
knowledge of Spanish manners-he at
one time had been naval attache at
Madrid was complete, and so he had
been able to reach San Fernandez
without any great suspicion being
aroused as TO his nationality after he
had once escaped from the coast guard

Gonzales rejected ia his force, for
despite the assertion of so many Span

had Just lost by death from yellow fe-
