WHAT TO WEAR
Suggestions for the Solution of the Ever Present
Problem of Dress

A hostess does not wear gloves at an
informal afternoon tea, or for the usual
days at home but may wear them on
the occasion Of a very large formal "at
home" Women or young girls who pre-
side at a tea-tablc and pour tea never
wear gloves.
At a large evening party or dance, a
hostess should wear gloves, but she never
does so when receiving before a dinner
or a luncheon.

w disease of Americans, and
U probably nervousness is more
IL rife in America than any
where else in the world The reasons
Of II are very easy to see, and reside in
those circumstances which distinguish
American life and customs from those OF
other nations. II is not the stimulating
air or climate. for We have every known
climate 1t is not an inheritance, but
it Is the striving induced by surrounding
conditions-the desire to be something
supposed by the individual TO be better
and beyond that which lie has or his
parents had.
The Old World Is somewhat like one
OF those planets in which, after ages of
struggles, everything has come TO a
stop. Here there IS 4 constant ferment,
and, whether one will or no, he is drawn
into the struggle, and the wear and tear
OF it after a time frazzles the nerves.
Ncrvousness a Disease
Many people think that nervousness is
simply an exhibition OF irritability, which
shows itself IN an unusual and unneceS-
sary display OF the emotions. a quick
ness OF temper and a peppery outpour-
ing OF words. These are the symptoms
Of certain form ofeneryousness and
possibly may not be a display of ncry-
business AT al, but result OF a naturally
cross grained disposition.
General Symptoms
The nervousness Of worry. overwork
and effort are different. SlceplcSsness
and loss Of appetite are the first symp-
toms; indigestion follows, then comes
lack Of power to concentrate the mind
These are the prominent symptoms Of
the nervous breakdown, the danger sig

and have the desire for sleep and the
ability to do so If appetite is lacking
and the rhythm Of sleeping and waking
is tangled. then the mind and reason,
which is said 10 distinguish man from
the animals, should come in and take
command. otherwise the more serious
symptoms OF nervousness will appear.
Lsnguor will follow restlessness, in
ability TO do ordinary things, the start
ing at noises, in some instances over
sensitiveness OF the eyes to light and OF
the ears to sound, and a host of other
