BEAUTY CHATS
More Caloric Values.

Having disposed of luncheon and
breakfast, the woman on a diet must
make up her dinner men,. out of foods
which will give her healthy and salts
flying meal yet not take up more than
her 1900 Galleries day ration.
First, let me suggest afternoon tea
Not meal, but literally tea. Two
cups If you wish, and saccharine to
sweeten it and lemon in it If you don't
like tea by itself But no food. This
takes away any hunger pangs you may
have, 1t is hot and stimulating, and an
excellent break in the long distance be-
tween luncheon and dinner.
Now for supper All the thin soup
you want, or oysters or c,ams-so long
as you have nothing for sauce on them
but lemon, salt and pepper. Sauces are
usually very rich and therefore very
fattening. You can have soup after the
oysters, If you want-or soup and a
avoided Ordinarily, three ounces OF
white fish is 100 calories-that is a
little less than the average helping,
but, as this varies so, I'd advise you
to weigh the fish once or twice, until
you can judge the amount for your
self
II you have fish and meat, you must
take very small helpings of each-for
the average helping of beef, leanest Of
meats, Is from $50 to 900 calories. A
chop varies from $50 to 300, according
to Size-and you must not eat the fat
Of 1t. Chicken and turkey average
about 100 calories for an ounce and a
half-do some weighing again, you'll
see how little that Is.
Bread and potatoes are best left out
Of the diet, of course. No butter, no
fats from foods, no pork, ham nor ba-
con, no rich desserts, no ice cream are
allowed. Vegetables, fruit and salad
must make up the bulk of your meal,
and these must not be served with but
ter or cream in them. Vegetables
mustn't be fried, and all nnayonnaise
and sauces are forbidden-except in
minute amounts.
HaZel-A girl, 16 years of age, is
just making changes in her growth,
and there can be no set standard of
what weight she should be for her
height. You have done great deal of
growign to attain five feet five inches
in height. so whatever you weigh will
be all right If you are also in good
health. Most likely you will now begin
to develop, and will continue to for
another three or four years.
c. G. D.-As your arms do not share
in the reduction, just help them along
by massaging them every night Any
movement will do. An easy one is that
of kneading the flesh until you feel
the circulation has been quickened.
H. THE reducing lotion in which
there Is camphor would not do to use
on the face, as camphor is very drying
but this would not matter in such
places as the thighs or calves of the
legs. The length of time that you have
been stout does not delay the effect.
Agnes A. S.-A cold shower every day
would tone your skin so it will become
much firmer all over your body. If you
do not get a healthy reaction to colo
baths, give them to the arms and bus
or any other places where the skin Il
loose following the reduction. You viii
not need exercises for this purpose, anc
II you keep yourself in good condition
any nabbiness will soon disappear. Tht
cold baths will make the skin firmeI
and you will be helped to that extent.
