Women as Observers.

Somebody has just made the discovery
that women are becoming more observ-
ant. and in that is seen the sign that she
is becoming more nearly capable of look
ing after her own interests ana better
able to take an active interest in public
affairs. This is very much in the nature
of the discovery that the Dutch had cap
tured Holland. Ii the fact that 81 wonl-
an ohservant is proof that she is entitled
TO public consideration, then the world
is to blame for not having long ago given
her great public consideration. for the
fact that women are, rs Il rule. keen OH

bringing about this change. The deep
double collar has been declining In ia

increasing number Of patrons. and
there is no doubt these latter STYLES
greatly facilitate the wearing If more

The trouble with most women who
wish to be WELL" said Il woman physl-
clan, lis that they are willing to buy
tons of advice and drink gallons OF mcdi-
cine in. order to get rid of their head
aches. dyspepsias and superfuouS flesh;
but they won't do the very simple and
only necessary things to do in order to
keep in health.
They simply will no give up their
favOrite dishes, however rich and in
digestible; they will not exercise and take
fresh air enough, and they won't insist
on getting enough sleep.
Il have patients who ring me up for
medicine after every elaborate luncheon
or dinner party. If | told them rich
sauces. terrapin, croquettes. hot breads
and such things would put them in their
graves in year, still they wouldn /
practice enough self-denial to forego those
things. Yet they might nearly as we'll
be in their graves as 50 pitiably de-
pendent on restoratives.
There are Just a few things women
need to do to keep well. IF they would
eat only plain. wholesome food. let slim
ulants alone, exercise every day. breathe
plenty Of fresh air, battle often. sleep
eight hours every night and keep their
minds healthy, they could get along

The Essentials of Hospitality.
