FASHIONABLE WINTER COAT
By Myer
BY MAY MANTON

The, single breasted coat with cut
away fronts and longer back is a
very smart one. eminently attractive
and generally becoming. Here is a
model that can be made in that way
or with straight fronts and which is
adapted to all the seasonable suit
ings. In the illustration it is made
from cheviot and the edges are bound
with braid. an excellent suggestion
for the useful costume; but the model
can be used for velvet to be adapted
to more dressy occasions and it can
be used for all the handsomer as
well as the simpler materials.
Contrasts as well as entire cos
tunes are in vogue. and the coat
made of velvet for wear over a silk
or wool skirt would be handsome.
Seams that extend to the shoulders
give slender becoming lines and the
sleeves are the new ones without ful-
ness at the shoulders.
For thsshedium size the coat Will
require 81 yards of material %. 25s
yards "A or 2is yards so inches wide,
with Il yard of velvet for the collar
and Az Yards of braid.
The May Manton pattern of the
coat 1863 is cut in sizes from "a to
46 inches bust measure. 1t will be
mailed to any address by the fashion
department of this paper on receipt
of ten cents.

cold? Is it wrong to sleep in a cold
room with your head near an open win
dow, or should the head be covered?
Thanking Won in advance, CITIZEN
Cold baths are excellent if the re-
action is prompt and complete Some
persons are not strong enough to
endure the shock. It is always a good
plan TO consult q physician before
one decides to begin taking them.
If you must take your bath in the
middle of the morning or afternoon
it would be better, l should think,
to take a warm one. and follow 1t
with a cold shower and good rub
down. / doubt if one can have too
much fresh air in ones room at night,
but it is not good to sleep in a
draught.

An Attentive Young Woman.
Ny dear Miss Doom:

My dear Miss Doom:
J am young man, % years old, and
there is young lady about my age who
Is trying to force ller attention upon me.
She has often said. 81 must go home
alone now,V or something like that, but
always passed it. OF as a joke But
Christmas Is approaching. and she will
want to give me present She also
made a remark to that effect / do not
want to refnse point blank. for do not
want to hurt her feelings, and / don't
care to accept it. The girl is nice
young lady. but studies do not allow me
to pay attention to any girl
Do not tell me to try and keep out of
her way, for my business compels me to
see her. WORRIED.
Did 1t ever strike you that she
might be ''stringing" you? am al

fright at the Attentions of girls.
Do not take this young woman quite
so seriously. 1t is not likely that her

Ice Cream Every Day.

DeaT MISS O6On.
To decide a bet will you kindly give
YOUR opinion on the following:
During discussion 4 said he thought
that person having at least one ice
cream soda every day, aud on the average
ten cents worth of Chocolate candy each
day, for the space of two years, would
become i'll or have some chronic disease.
b said he thought ice cream and candy
were. on the contrary. nourishing and
fattening. and no matter how much one
ate. would never be harmful.
VIII you kindly give your esteemed
opinion in your paper and very much
oblige, d. ii.
Good, pure ice cream is, an excel
lent article of food. The eggs and
milk of which it is made are both
strength-giying. But it would not
be wise to eat it every day to the
exclusion of other things. The reg
ular chilling of the stomach would
In time weaken its digestive powers.
Candy has little or no food value;
its sugar merely adds to the heat of
the body, and if the body is strong
enough TO regularly rid itself of the
excess sugar the candy will not hurt
