The Cost of Clothes.

The cost Of dress, the absurd lengths
and sumptuous clothing. is now pushed
to such an extreme that woman's for
tune, like that of a savage beauty, may
often be seen on her person, and there
is no margin left for entertaining, for all
that makes social intercourse delightful
Three years ago 1t was said by SEN
ator's wife that only the very rich could
now give dinner parties at all, and that
for modest fortunes entertaining in any
form. except the mild dissipation Of after
noon tea and cakes. was out of the ques-
ton.
What, it may be asked, is the use of all
this amazing expenditure on finery, If
the furs and trinkets. the hats and robes
are not to be exhibited on festive occa-
sions to friends and admirers? A woman
may be dressed to perfection from head
to foot, but If no one is to see 1t. and So
liability goes by the board in the effort
to be beautiful to what end has she made
all this effort?
The matter is grotesque, and why her
men folk do not put stop to it is food
for wonder You might as well. If you
were a child, have doll which is attired
that you can never take 1t out Of its cup
board, nor afford to ask your little friends
to tea to look at It,
There is no doubt that in France, where
the love of dress originates, and where
our women first fall a victim to this fever
for clothes, they worship to the point of
absurdity the we'll dressed woman.

other evil effects. like alcohol. Very few
know how to make tea or coffee.
The fault in making tea is that it inva-
riably stands on it's leave. Now, 1t does
not in the least matter how long 1t stands
after being properly made. so long as 1t
does not stand on the leaves. To insure
this is simplicity itself. AS soon as made
pour off into a well warmed teapot and
the infusion will never then become bitter
or injurious.
The fault with coffee is quite different.
In making coffee 1t is not the question OF
] how you make it, but of the amount of
freshly ground pure coffee that is allowed
for each person. This should be at rate.
for the perfect article. of something like
an ounce for each large breakfast cup.
The other meals of the day should in
clude meats that warm the blood as well
as nourish the body-such meats as beef,
lamb and well cooked pork. Chicken. fish
and the lighter meats have not much
value for a winter diet and should not
appear often on the family table. Vege-
tables which contain fats. such as pota-
toes, peas, beans and corn, are the best at
this time of the year, while vinegar and
other sour things are to be avoided.
The woman who loves sweets should be
in her element during the cold weather
months, for at this period Of the year they
will do her less harm than at any other
time,

How to Keep Well
During the Winter

To eat and what to eat-that is the
question which agitates the feminine
mind In winter time, for upon it's sue
cessful solution depends good health, the
keynote to happiness and the corner
stone Of harmony in the home
Almost every woman at some time in
her life has been a victim of the food
fad. Every one falls sooner or later into
the traps set by the dietitians. and no
craze Is too crazy. no fad too faddy to
be tried by the fanatics. Some are good,
some bad, the majority merely indiffer-
ent.
The consumption Of food, however,
forms a very important part in our lives.
to many the most important. We have.
alas! a palate. and those few taste buds
at the back of the tongue have a great
deal to answer for in the way they
render us comparatively Indifferent as to
what we put into our stomachs, provided
pleasurable stimulation. The whole menu
Of dinner is based, not on digestive
requirements, but upon the imperious
claims Of the taste buds.
To q large portion Of humanity the
stomach becomes. In consequence, either
a cross to bear or deity to worship.
Neither should be the case, and neither
need be the case il the subject of food
and its values Is accorded small
amount. of attention.
It isn't necessary to go into the subject
deeply in order to understand what foods
produce the greatest degree of health
in the winter time. 1t is only necessary
to understand and to practice one thing
thoroughly-that is, moderation.

New Vogue for Pearls.

1t is quite the rule now to see rows Of
pearls appearing from inside the collar
Formerly. when pearls were used, they
were worn outside the high collar, but
now new style is in force. and they are
worn next to the neck itself, and partly
allowed to hang over the front of the col
lar.
This fashion seems to have come into
vogue because of the well known fact
that pearls in order to keep their exqui-
site luster, should be worn next to the
skin.

ROMAN BOAT FOUND IN THE
 THAMES.

Sir Lawrence Gomme, clerk to the London county council. has been mak ing research into the history of the Roman boat recently discovered dur ing the digging of the foundations of the new county hall at Westminster bridge. The results of his search are interesting:
 No other such find has been made in Britain he writes, and the boat thus possesses an interest greater even than that attaching to the clin- ker-built boat of King Alfred's time discovered at Walthamstow few ago"
 A coin of Allectus. which was found in the boat, points to its date being about 293 296 A. D, and it's condition and position seem to show that 1t was destroyed in a conflict that took place where Westminster bridge now stands.
 The episode which probably led to its destruction was the defeat of AL Iectus, the successor of Carausius. Carausius rebellei toward the end of the third century. took possession of Britain and assumed the imperial pur- pie It is believed thta it was he who created the first British fleet.
 Among the articles found in or near the boat were five bronze coins. frag- ments of pottery. three gaming but tons. two British spear heads and five horseshoes. Portions of leather foot wear were studded with iron nails very similar to those used by the British workman today.
 The remains of the boat are being preserved by treatment with glycerine, but it has been found impossible to prevent considerable shrinkage and loss of weight.-New York Sun.
