neat little slice of cheese cake. vas the
luncheon selected by one such woman
today. And there are always lots of
women. whether shoppers or working
women, who make up the three
courses of their luncheon out of three
sorts of dessert. Either they have alb
solutely no knowledge of dietetics, or
like s. me persons who have a suffi-
cheney of this knowledge, they seem
to feel that there will be some merci-
full kind of dispensation of the laws
of nature regarding diet in their own
case. Not so opposed to hygiene. but
still not ideal. are the luncheons that
consist of too little variety of another
sort. There is a very busy profession
al woman who rather than read the
blll-of7fare at luncheon always orders
ham sandwiches the number varying
according to her appetite. If she is
extremely hungry. she simply says:
-Four ham sandwiches" and then
manages to pillow thru them.
The nature of your activities should
determine your choice of a lunch. In
making your sci elton remember these
things:
That the person who is actively en-
gagged outdoors and throws off a great
deal of carbonic acid gas, can stand
great deal more sugar than one
whose work is sedentary or indoors.
Hence, the stenographe or other Of
flee worker should curb her sweet
tOOlH, WHlle one OF the new police
women might indulge herself safely in
this direction
If you are inclined to sleeplessness,
do not eat meat or rich desserts of any
sort for luncheon. A salad, with pos
sibly a cup of coffee or tea, wards off
sleepiness.
If you have a tendency to an anemic
condition. remember that eggs cooked
in a variety of ways and milk if it is
otherwise agreeable to you, are the
best selections.
AS summer with it's heat comes on
remember that cold drinks are not al
ways the most cooling. A cup of tea,
drunk not too hot, will fortify you for
an afternoons shopping better than a
lemon phosphate.
Also too light a lunch is not a good
! idea in warm weather if you have
much to do afterward. A fairly hearty
lunch selected from dishes that do not
tax the digestion will make you feel
cooler because they will increase your
vitality. Remember that at lunch
time your system is in greater need
for good nourishing food-tho not per-
haps in great abundance-than at any
of the other meals. To do without
lunch entirely is a greater tax than to
do without breakfast or dinner. For

Viewing the profile of the coin that the

Brutal force predominates, rather
than human intelligence. This coin
is of silver and a little larger than
our silver dollar. While it has no COM
mercial value, its owner states that it
is worth at least $1,000. 1t is ex-
tremely rare and consequently is much
sought for by collectors. Freidberg
has several thousand other coins in his
collection from every country in the
world and minted at almost every pc
riod of the centuries which are repre-
scented.

New York.-It has always been said
that when the Chinese are cold they
merely add another garment. They do
not attempt to have single costumes
which suit the weather.
This ancient and honorab BILE custom
has prevailed in Paris for two years
and it had its thousands of followers
in this country during the extreme
winter that began early and ended
late.
France took this lesson from the
East the winter before last, when she
was confronted with the same severity
of climate and lack of coal that put
the Americans into such state of
refrigeration last January. She added
coat to a gown, a top coat to a suit,
furs to all, and if a woman had any
thing else in her possession that could
keep her warm, she put that on This
is what the women of France did to
keep themselves alive thru weather
that they had never before eXper-
fenced.
French Dressmal<ers Aid Women.
The French dresSmakers, alive to
every changing mood, took it into
their clever heads to fashion costumes
inspired by the French womanS fran
tic desire to keep from freezing. They
added a coat to frock, WalStcoat TO
both. bits of Angora wool. strands or
wooden embroidery and fur wherever
they could place it. They did it with
artistic distinction and kept it from
being bunglesome.
Now that the spring has come and
warmer weather with it, they keep up
the idea, but change the fabrics
Take, for example, new gown by
Jenny which has received much COM
mendation in this country. If you
have not seen the original. you have
probably seen many copies and may
have one in your possession. She has
taken black satin and made a slim
slip of it that fits the figure from
shoulders to shoetops. The bodice is
surplice the girdle is at the waiStline,
as Jenny likes it, but caters to public
opinion by having a second streamer
that drops 10 the hips and ties in front.
She has embroidered the surplice
blouse with heavy Chinese gold. So
far so good. The gown has short
sleeves and can be worn at any res
taurant or private dinner.
But Jenny does not stop here. She
adds a long, loose coat also of black
satin lined, with Chinese blue crepe.
She turns his crepe outward in a
straight rever that goes around the
neck and down to the hem. She also
puts a broad cuff of this Chinese blue
at the end of her Mandarin sleeves.
She ornaments the coat with heavy
gold embroidery done in an artistic
way, a bit en- the sleeve and wide
hand around the figure under the
arms.

FIRED UPON
BY MISTAKE

Washington. July S.-An American
submarine of the latest design has been
fred upon by an Allied ship off the New
England coast. The submarine was only
slightly damaged and naval tug is
towing it to port.
No one aboard the submarine was in
Jured.
Only one shot hit the submarine,
which quickly made known its identity
when the Allied ship began to fire. The
shell struck on the deck near the con-
ming tower, denting several plates. It
was announced that the vessel would
be repaired in a short time.
The scene of the attack was not far
distant from the waters in which a
German submarine Recently appeared,
and when the American submerslble
came to the surface the captain of the
Allied ship assumed that Il was an en-
envy vessel preparing TO attack him.
The navy department did not make
known the identity of either the subma'
rine or fthe Allied ship, nor was it an
nounced whether the latter was cruis-
or or a transport.
