Rules for Reduction.

Patience and regularity are the two
important factors i'm the hesh-reducing
process. To practice a treatment violently
for q week and then rest" a while
brings little or no results. At least four
weeks of steady devotion to the rules of
reduction are necessary to get any
marked effects.
With rapid reduction comes the loss Of
physical strength. Almost any exercise
that induces perspiration will take off
| flesh. Turkish baths aid I'm the process.

with hearts inclined to weakness. If
they are used. the patient should remain

One of the first requisites for taking of

| tanning fat. Only the lean part of meat
should be eaten Pork and bacon must
not be used at all Eggs and fish are not
| tabooed: mac kerel. blue and other oily

The person who really wants to reduce
must remember that sweets are very fat

cream and fruits. except bananas, are
the rule. No sugar should be used on

Household Hint.

II more women realized the charming
effect of a growing plant or two in the
home they would visit the florists with
greater regularity. 1t may be only
bright colored geranium, a tiny tree OF
starry daisies or a low dish of ferns on
the library table that gives the note OF
greenery to the room. but the result Is
so horny and so altogether desirable that
the women who have not already prac-
ticed this little household diplomacy
should hasten to do so. Walking into q
room in which a growing plant is dis
creetly placed there comes the feeling at
once that the place IS livable; that some
one who has the home love has placed 1t
there. The plant need not be OF an ex-
pensive variety--in fact, the most erect
i've ones at this season are the scarlet and
crimson geraniums or the brtEht-colored
primrose. These convey the air OF some
thing living and growing that takes the
formality from a room and makes one
feel instantly at home.

Wedding Breakfast.

Many spring brides who cannot afford
the luxury of a caterer are wondering
just how to serve q wedding breakfast
at a moderate cost and at the same time
keep it up to the standard Of delicacy
and good taste demanded by such an all
important occasion.
There are any number of inexpensive
spring flowers from which to choose the
table adornments. Lilacs are plentiful
now. and certainly no more charming cen
terpiece than the combined plumes of
purple and white lilacs could be conceived.
Peonies vile be on the market at reason-
able prices before long. and in June
comes the fragrant pink and crimson
rambler roses that lend themselves so
effectively to table and house decoration.
Serve the breakfast buffet fashion. seat
ing the guests informally about the din
ing room and allowing the gentlemen to
serve the ladies from the bridal table.
Open the breakfast with a clear bouil-
lon, preferably tomato bouillon at this
season Of the year.

Charm of Simplicity.

practice Of It as habitual as the taking of
