FOODS FOR HOT WEATHER
Matter That Is Worthy Of the Most
Careful Attention That Can Be
Given t.

Much OF the irritability OF the human
race Is caused by overindulgence In
unbalanced meals composed Of badly
cooked foods.
The modern. thrifty housewife plans
her meals so n to secure the best diet
for her family. During the hot months
heat-producing foods-fats. sugar,
starches. heavy puddings and pies
and fried things should not be eaten,
but rather those which are easily di.
gested and cooling to the blood.
The business In which the bread
winner OF the family is engaged must
be considered when planning the
meals. The man or woman leading
a sedentary life requires foods easy
OF digestion and assimilation. This
class Of people does not require as
much food as that engaged in muscu-
lar labor. The latter class needs heav-
Ter meals. but these should be less bur
densome than In winter.
For both classes too much cannot
be said about m~asttcating ones food.
The teeth were made for this purpose
and many Ills would disappear II food
was not bolted into the stomach. which
is too often overtaxed-
Salads rich with mayonnaise or
boiled dressing should never appear
at dinner. but be served for luncheon
or supper. Green or fresh vegetable
with q simple oil and vinegar
dressing are the proper thing for din
ner at all eason Potatoes can be
from the menu some days
and In their place substitute macaroni.
rice. hominy. beans. peas and other
vegetables-Woman's World.

JUST MATTER OF DIPLOMACY

ment the father did a hard piece OF
thinking. The name Gwendolyn sound
ed to him like a fire whistle out OF
tune. but he knew better than openly
to oppose mother. Therefore he grew
foxy. "Gwendolynl Gwendolyn!" he
musingly replied. Il like that a whole

FOR THE SHORT AND STOUT
Long TUNES, Soon Forthcoming. Ea
peeiaIiy Adapted to Figures Which
Are No Longer Slender.

The forthcoming long tunics is the
friend of the stout and short woman.
The prevailing hip draperies. panniers.
hustle effects and tunics arranged at
the hips are only suitable for young
and slender figures. For the young
girl and slender woman these boufant
styles are more becoming than are the
tnnics which reach well below the
knees
Several forms OF the long tunic are
seen. such as the box plated style. the
side plated effects. those with plated
panels back and front and the gath
cred overskirt. set on at a line about
ave inches from the waist The join
ing Of the s~kirt-yoke and OF the over
drapery is often effected by means Of
a one-ineh heading in the form Of a
rufie.

reaches the skirt edge In front and is
