THE ATHLETIC HEART.

Overlooking as well as overdrinking,
but especially combination of the two,
has pernicious influence upon the heart.
When the stomach is always overloaded,
1t presses up against the organs in the
chest, COMPRISING them. train Of evil
conditions too numerous to melton here
follows, In addition to interfering with
the proper action of the heart. The blood
is filled with waste products, and is also
unable to take in sufficient oxygen. The
body becomes heavy, loaded down with
an excess of fat and clogged up with
unused material. Fat accumulates around
the heart. and 1t is tremendously ham,
pered in its work.
These are the hearts that become
fatty" or in which the cells undergo
degenerative changes of one kind or an
other; and, although bulky people with
ford faces may look healthy to those
who do not know the indications, they
are in reality not so, and when an I'M
usual demand Is made upon them the
heart is unable to meet IT, and-stops.
Remenl Der always the old adage: A
lean horse for long race. Moderation
in all things must be the keynote of our
conduct of life IL we wish to sustain 1t to
old age.

Most Of US, / know, have vivid mem

to have to wear the clothes our older

seldom outlive the shame of having to

I remember not long ago reading a
magazine story OF a clergyman's daugh-

parrot sent her by a rich old aunt
do not doubt the story was a true one;
at least, that II was founded on the
actual experience of some poor girl who
told the tale to the writer of the story.
From the point of view OF the rich aunt
her little girl should have been thank
full to get so handsome bird TO trim
her hat and though the poor preachers
wife doubtless sympa thized with her
daughters distress over the hideous or
nament. there was really no one 10 take
the child's part. She had to bear her
grief alone, and-wear the bird! I was
talking Of the story with a friend soon
after l read tia friend who was the
mother OF two boys and three girls, all
at the period of rapid growth when It
seems to the mother that she cannot
keep the little arms and legs and soft,
round bodies under cover. She said she
had read the story with unusual inter
est, for It had been her own fate when

think, rich people send their old
clothes to their poor relatives Just to

chance got anything that could really
be made over into something pretty
and nice. 1t was always frumpy old

Parsley II not enough used In most
houscholds Few OF u have 1t always
on hand for garnishing and seasoning
and there are even more uses than these
for the tender and favorsome little
sprigs of green that everybody can have
i growing in sunny window.
| That is the best way TO insure an ever
present supply OF parsley-to have 1t
growing In a pot on the kitchen window
sill. In the summer. of course, II you
have a garden you can have bed Of
parsley there.
Parsley Jelly is one delicacy that can
be used often. To make It. cover a
bunch Of parsley Of the size usually sold
in the markets with cold water and boil
for half an hour. Strain through a jelly
bag. There should be about two cupfuls
of the liquid. To this amount add two
cupfuls Of graduated sugar and the
jhcs and grated rind Of q lemon. and
boil twenty-five minutes more. very
slowly. Then add three-quarters of an
ounce Of gelatine, softened in cold wa
ter. strain. and mold in q glass. This is
delicious with any sort Of meat
Parsley omeiet IL delicious at luncheon.
To make IT, beat two eggs, whites and
yolks separately, and then mix them
lightly together. Add . tablespoonful Of
milk. q saltspocnful Of salt, and table
| spoonful Of minced parsley. Cook In an
omelet pan. Another way to make par
sley omeiet IL 10 add the minced parsley
just as you roll the omelet
Parsley sauce for nsh Is made In this
way: Chop enough parsley fne to meas
ure a scant half cupful and to II add the
Juice and grated rind OF lemon. Melt

and add a tablespoonful Of -four. Cook
for a moment and then add stock to
make a thin sauce. Season, add the
parsley mixture, and Just before serving
stir in the yolks Of two eggs beaten up
with little cold stock.
| Parsley butter adds q touch Of flavor to

The heart is the most important mus
cular structure in the body; but it. like
all other muscles. can only be developed
normally to a certain extent. Beyond
that 1t becomes dangerous. When
pushed to perform more work, an en-
largement, an overdevelopment ensues at
the expense of the strength. the energy
Of the muscle tissue. Sometimes the walls
OF the heart are thinned out, giving
rise to a weak, 1abby, irregularly beating
heart, which is unable to hold out when
a special call is made upon it.
Physicians are constantly warning the
public Of the deleterious effect of ath-
letic contests, such as football, rowing,
foot-racing etc, upon the heart. No
marked disability may follow at the time,
but II is bound to invite serious organic
disease later In life by lessening the

sician with the promise of splendid
career before him died a few weeks ago
at the age of thirty-three. He had been
famous college athlete. He contracted
pneumonia and his weakened heart
couldn't stand the strain.
Excessive muscular exertion is always
bad. but especially so in those past forty.
The medical profession some years ago
put a stop to the bicycle craze because
of its extremely harmful effect upon the
heart, especially in elderly men.
The constant overaction of the heart
from nervous sources also gives rise to
an overdistention of that organ, which.
IL allowed to go on, results in permanent
damage This condition Is found almost
exclusively in neurotic women, who seem
to derive q certain amount of pleasure
from the attention they are able to d.
rect to their supposed heart trouble.
There Is some suffering connected with
this condition, such as dificulty In
breathing, constructions around the heart
region, smothering, etc.
Women who are afflicted with this
nervous trouble are q source of infinite
annoyance to their friends and to physi-
clans, from whom they refuse to re-
ceive the assurance that no organic le-
sion exists, that the trouble is nervous
one. and can be overcome but not unless
they cooperate heartily with their adj

DEFORE digress into making
n up for the stage, l do want to
say a few words to the girls
about making up for the street. While
/ believe if is every girls duty to
look as we'll as she can, the best eff
fects are not to be got by the use of
cosmetics, but really by the care of
oneself. Brilliantine to make the hair
glossy is never as effective as brush
ing 1t to bring out the natural oil.
An eye pencil only hardens the ex-
preston of the eyes and cerise lips
neither look natural nor make one
any more attractive. In fact, all COS
Tletics tend more to the adding of
years than the subtracting OF them
| have received many letters from
girls who give me prescriptions for
lotions which they claim make the
eyes more brilliant. Most of these
lotions call for few drops of bella
donna, and l write back Immediately
letters of warning to these foolish,
vain girls, who are sacrificing, per-
haps, their eyesight Every night
and morning I use an eye cup with
boracic acid. This is a simple and
most effective cure for tired eyes
which all doctors prescribe.
But making up for the stage or
screen is an art in itself. No matter
how clear our compilations or how
large our eyes, it is better to accent
uate them by shading. | use little
makeup myself, but as / have always
had very red cheeks and red photo
graphs black, have to cover my face
with thin coating of grease paint.

eyes with little dark brown or lamp

! The walls are covered with plain
pastel paper and there is cool gray
carpet en- the floor. The curtains at
the windows are OF g-ayish lavender.
while on the dressing table, couch
and wicker furniture are coverings of
pastel shades of cretonne to match
the walls and curtains. In order to
brighten these dull tones, l have had
brilliant colored parrots appliqued on
the cretorne.
In its wicker cage, which matches
the furniture, is my little pet canary,
Billie, who sings all day long whether
he has an audience or not.
l always have a tea table, so I can
even entertain myself when ! am not
