that her task was performed with eff

Present for Soldier

If you knit 1t would be nice to give him

this bag all kinds Of comforts and Iuxuries
for the soldiers are placed. Here are some
suggestions: Game, pack Of cards, mouth
organ comb, pipe, scissors, needles thread
buttons, shaving soap, tobacco and other
things similar to these The articles can be
fitted into little pockets made In the side OF
the kit.
II you do not care about the comfort kit
there are many other things TO choose from.
An electric fashlght, khaki air pillow
pair of military halrbrushes, a trench

Horn "a Exercise After a Cold Sprnu

TIHIs assumes OF course, that you are
l. resolving to keep UP the cold spray dur
ing the winter. For II the cold spray Is
cooling and refreshing in summer IL Is also
warming and refreshing in winter para
doxlcal as this may seem. The reason Is
that II properly taken, II maintains a Wig
orous circulation of the blood, which pro-
notes the Matchmaking activities OF the en-
tire body
DO not miss the cold bath a single morn
ing, for II you skip one cold morning 1t WIZ
be next to impossible to take II the seconu.
Also, these cool mornings be sure that
the body Is warm before getting into the
bath or under the spray DO not move
about your apartment and allow the pouy
to become cooled of, but go directly from
the bed to the bath
IL your system is not rugged you may
find II advantageous, provided you take the
tub plunge, TO draw the water the night oe-
fore. This will, TO some extent, take the
edge" off the water, especially II the bath
room Is warmed.
But about the exercise Exercise OF some
kind Immediately following the cold bath
is of the greatest Importance. 1t encour-
ages the circulation of the blood. This Is
important because during the night the
tendency has been for the circulation to
become less active than during the day.
Exercise tends to distribute the blood and
set in motion the vital functions Of the vari-
Gus organs of the body.
The good effects of the exercises are still
greatly enhanced by exercise before the
bath.
This Is possible, however only on the
part Of persons who are vigorous, since the
reaction of the cold water after the exer-
else would be too vigorous and involve too
great an expenditure of energy for many
persons.
THE hath should be taken immediatelv
following the exercise in order that good re-
action will be obtained and the danger of
taking cold lessened II there is even the
slightest interval between the exercise and
the bath, keep the body covered by blan-
ket or bathrobe.
Neither before nor after the bath should
the exercise be vigorous enough TO bring
about too great an activity of the heart or
lungs--for the cold bath should never,
under any circumstances, be taken when
either of these organs is excited.
It is far better to take moderate exercise

First. There is as yet no indication that
long gloves must be worn with evening
gowns this year For the last several
years it has been considered quite as good
form not TO wear gloves in the evening (ex.
cept for very formal balls or the opera) as
II used to be to wear them. Certainly for
a home wedding they need not be worn
they should be carried. however.
