BEAUTY CHATS
Attaining Proper Weight.

Your ideal weight will mean that you
are neither fat nor thin, which will
show that strict adherence to the
tables of weight is not possible. These
can only approximate the average
weight for age and height, hut If there
Is heavy frame, it will add much to
the weight given, and there will be a
lessening Of weight when there are
small bones.
Growing boys and girls may be far
above what would be considered nor
NAL weight and slough it all off as
they approach maturity. The opposite
is also true, for extremely thin chill
dren fill out often over the last year OF
development. The condition of the
health is what decides the matter in
such cases.
In many instances it is possible to
increase the weight by simply eating
more fats, starch and sugar-any one
of these or all of them, for some peo-
pie have q greater affinity for one than
the other. One woman I know takes
on weight if she eats candy, but white
potatoes, starchiest of all the vegetables,
do not change the scales for her either
way. If the digestion can stand it,
taking a larger quantity of cream, but
ter, olive oil, or as many starchy foods
as possible, will fatten and add to the
weight. There will be plenty of people
who cannot burden the digestion this
way, especially those who otherwise use
up great deal ~of nervous energy. For

Slenderness, to certain extent, is
desirable not only for grace, but be-
cause it favors alertness; but to attain
it dieting should not be pushed beyond
the point where there is lack of nutri-

a man could possibly spend that
amount for merely entertaining few
people. AS matter of fact, the sum
was much lower than his actual eX-
penditures. After all, most things are
comparative. Very few spend less than
5 per cent of their incomes annually
for entertainment, and that is putting
is modestly. How many men receiving
salary of $4,000 a year do not spend
Sl00 every II months for theaters, etc?
On this basis the man with Sl50,o0O a

WINTERTIME
BY ID. C. PEATTIE.

Already in some florists windows one
begins to see narcissus and hyacinth,
both purple and white, and with the
welcome sight of them once more, the
enchanting smell, recalling to mind
all the Springtimes one has known,
the dreariness of Winter is not quite
SO dreary, nor the time to Spring so
long.

their wares, well knowing that the
f1ower-hungry public will pay dearly
without question, and Justly advancing

at trouble and expense, and any COM
modify out of season fetcheS q price.
orchids are incredible, and roses are
the flowers of all flowers, and an Easter
lily on Easter day is imposing. But
for the sheer poetry of flowerdom, the
compression into six white petals and
sepals, or the distilled essence of ro-
nance in one breadth of nectary per-
fume, give me the narcissus. You may
have your naughty princess the
orchid; your heavy queen, the rose
the narcissus is the young maiden of
the fairy story. And close rivals in

Somehow, no one ever thinks of

Weight, as the reader may know, decides
the class in which a boxer must dis
play his wares. Two contestants of
equal weight may differ considerably
In measurements. Dempsey in three of
his most notable contests defeated de-
cisively men nearly head taller than
himself. They were Fulton. Willard and
Firpo. In each case the fans were with
Dempsey. When the then champion
fought Tommy Gibbons, a man shorter
than Dempsey. the crowd was for
Gibbons. It's tough to be tall, some

This may be used for draperies or for

made in the same variety of qualities

Draperies should be trimmed down
the sides and across the bottom,
whether these are made long enough
to reach to the floor or the bottom of
the sill, and if there is a valance this
should be trimmed across the bottom.
Tiebacks of drapery material should
