There was a little preliminary talk

Hot water is good for a dyspeptic, but
cool water is the thing for the girl who is
full of life and health. Then there was a

Of chocolate, but only one. In the middle
of the morning she drinks two a rts Of

AT noon she eats a chop and all the

beautiful necessitates a good deal Of work
and thought. I think 1t will prove worth
while to every woman to take pains enough
with herself and to study her own posi-
bifities. For beauty Is a great asset both
in business and in the home circle.
AS in the case of the Kentucky bellies
great deal depends upon clothes, and even
more carriage, department and knowl-
edge OF what Is appropriate and what Is
not. remember seeing a very beautiful
actress in q restaurant one evening with a
low-necked dress and hat. AS the dining

American women have been always con-

Recently. however, we have been severely
criticised by foreign prince, and by the
French. German and English press. The
