Here are some rules for the thin woman
who wants TO acquire flesh. They are
the advice OF an authority on physical
culture:
You must learn 20 move slowly: your
actions must be deliberate.
You must get out Of the habit Of hus-
ting
You must forget the fact that you
have obligations and engagements or you
must learn not TO worry about them.
You must learn how 20 sleep.
You must cultivate taste for the
right kind Of food
There is in New York a boarding
house for thin women. At rather high
rate Of board they take women who are
under weight and they fatten them up. II
takes six or eight weeks.
-.FO- breakfast they give the thin wOm-
an as much cocoa as she can drink and
al the hot bread she can eat and as
much sweet butter as her bot bread viii
carry.
A diet Of sweet cream. brown bread,
cocoa. and sugars in various forms Will
act as d sedative 70 the nerves, provided
the diet is not carried too far. The thin
woman must not make herself sick eating
sweets.
Deep breathing is wonderfully effec-
tive IN the matter OF putting flesh on the
chest. The thin woman with q flat chest
should open the windows and take long
deep breaths Of air many times a day.
IL would be q good thing II she could
steep in the open air winter and summer.
and il she would remain out OF doors
most OF her waking hours.
and moderate sweets is fattening-"
White doeskin gloves last well and wash
almost unendiagly, but their success lies
in the secret Of careful washing. The
gloves should be put in warm water, not
too warm, and gently rubbed with soap;
take each glove singly and soap it into
ball in the palm Of the hand. When the
rinsing is well accomplished soap them
again. and then. without being rinsed,
squeeze them until all the water has run
out. Stya!ghten the gloves. don't pun
them, and hang 10 dry where there is q
current Of air; % not put them near a
fire The drying takes rather a long time.
and al first the gloves look spoiled. But
they are a real success when once dry.
and they must be briskly rubbed together
70 get rid Of the stiffness; then they are
ready TO wear and "as good as new"
No Rat can be worn day in and day
out ana remain even presentable for more
than p few weeks time. and il Is really
the best economy to have at least two
hats Tor the walking suit anyway. A
hat that has lost its first freshness viii
at once make the entire costume look
shabby and lacking IN style. and instead
of buying a second street costume a. this
time Of year and attempting 70 get along
with hat that is q month or two old. il
Will be found infinitely more satisfac-
tOry-aEd for more ecOnomical-to pJr-
chase one or two new hats-and II is
what a new lease Of life the
dress viii take on
One OF the seasons novelties IN fur Is
an evening coat formed Of wide bands OF
cerise velvet with stripes Of ermine be-
tween. or, TO speak truly. the garment is
Of velvet striped with ermine. This par
ticular garment is a three-Quarter-length
coat, loose and shapeless, with mandarin
sleeves, style allowing the free use of
bands of ermine. Under the mandarin
sleeves are others Of velvet terminating
in errnine cuffs. A fringe of ermine tails
borders the coat, and TO wear with it
when going to the play there Is a little
ermine toQue with a fan-like wired bow of
cerise velvet matching the coat. This is
set az the front and sIants sharply up
and down with a sort Of open-winged
butterfly effect.
This coat is lined throughout, over the
white satin lining. with pale pink chiffon
howere6 in deep pink
A few marriages are happy. This
cheerful fact is gleefully recorded here,
in the hope that it may make bright
