selection of tunics and robe patterns
which were made Of silk chiffon and
beautifully hand-embroidered in silk
~ beads of tho same color as the
chiffon. saw pale blue silk chiffon
tunic embroidered in silk and trimmed
with crystal beads for $25. This tunic
was really an entire evening dress. and
considering that 1t needs only a silk
slip to be ready to wear, the price Is
not SO expensive as one might at first
imagine.
saw some pretty silk spun senorita
scarfs in a store in G street, between
Eleventh and Twelfth, this morning

costs a dollar. II is a good Investment,
because one application usually sut-
hces. A little of the powder should
be mixed with water to form a paste,
then spread on the hairs not wanted
and left two or three minutes, then
rubbed on and the skin washed. No
pain is felt with this delatone treat
ment, and the skin is left white, firm
and hairless, with slight chances Of
Its ever returning again.

DIME PER DAY
FOR MANS FOOD
Professor Says That Is Enough But
Does Not Furnish the List
Of Things.

BOSTON, Mass, March 2S.-The
needed food for one person costs only
10 cents day. according to Prof. ].
l.. Henderson of the Harvard Medical
School He says also that all human
food, whether it be of the rarest del
icacies or the plainest fare. may be
reduced TO give simple elements, two
OF which are water and salt, which
cost virtually nothing, while the other
three are carbohydrates, protein and
fat.
The average man of 1876 pounds
weight needs only about Az pounds
of food day. and this quantity in
cludes the 70 per cent of water ae
cording to Dr. Henderson, who points
out that the essential food values
needed to sustain man for day
may be purchased in the open market
for 10 cents.
Dr. Henderson is not advocating a
regime of dime day for meals, but
he cites this bedrock price of life
fuel as something which every man
should keep in mind, since when he
pays any more he is paving for flavor
for cleanliness and for convenience.
