LACE HEADDRESS
SMART FOR SPRING
BY CHERIE NICHOLAS

Fashion has always decreed that
you shall be smart-and this year
that you shall be pretty as we'll.
This combination is entirely posi-
BILE when you have seen yourself in
the all-lace hats which are becom-
ing more and more popular for din
ing out and the theater. One, a
Schiaparelli model, is helmet like,
with comic crown. The lace is
fixed on wire and gives the Span
ish touch, which of course is the
thing this season.
If you prefer to get your Spanish
effect in another way, don't forget
the mantilla. It can do wonders
towards conveying that air of mys-
terry and romance. And you can
make it yourself, fashioning it in
your own way. Some are made of
squares of Chantilly; others have
lace borders around net. We noted
particularly one of plain net, with
a wide border of lace. They are, in
cidentally, equally attractive when
worn as scarves or shaWls, and
even folded in a triangle and tied
aScot-fashion in front.

Only One Way to Save His Life.
First California Mail Service

On April 10, 1847, the first regular
mail service in California was es-
tablished when the United States
military authorities inaugurated a
semimonthly "governmentexpress."
Army dispatches, private letters
and newspapers were carried, free
of charge, between San Francisco
and San Diego by two soldiers on
horseback, who started from these
towns on alternate Mondays. Meet
ing the following Sunday at Dana's
rancho, near San Luis Obispo, they
exchanged mails. Each soldier then
started back to the point from which
he had come, arriving there in time
to begin another trip the following
Monday. The rush of settlers to
California, following the discovery
Of gold, necessitated the establish
ment Of Post Office department
routes, which supplanted this orig.
nal service

The Clock of Time

Now is the constant syllable
ticking from the clock of time.
Now is the watchWord of the wise.
Now is the banner of the prudent.
Let us keep this little word al
ways in our minds, and whenever
anything presents itself to us in
the shape of work, whether men
tai or physical, we should do it
with all our might, remembering
that Now is the only time for us
that Now is ours; that Then may
never be.

implies that m1dseason Stay-at-
homes are being left printless. On
the contrary the prints that are
peeping from beneath winter coats
are as refreshing sight as could
possibly greet winter-Weary eyes.
The colors are enhancing and the
p a t t ernings are Enthusiastically
new" The fact that the motifs
are widely spaced makes for an
absolutely different" look. AS a
tonic that acts instantaneously we
recommend a frock forthwith and
sans delay made of one of the ra-
diantly colorful new prints.
Al. interesting characteristic of
early arriving modes is that the en-
phasis is placed on the smartness
and novelty of the print which fash
ions the dress rather than on its
making. In fact the new print frocks
are styled most simple the more to
show off to advantage the beauty
of their material which thrills with
unique designs and dramatic color
ings.
The print fash:oning the daytime
gown shown in the foreground of the
group illustrated makes color-play
its big feature. Green and red on
a brown ground is the color scheme.
The belt is of brown suede. The
large jewelled clasp Chuge ones are
worn this season. at the neckline
further emphasizes the idea of strik-
ing color.
Speaking of the new spring prints
in general they are newest looking
when the forals are large and dis
tinctive and set far apart. Just
now it is the dark grounds that ap-
peal or that which is ultra chic, the
background in a vivid color. Pals
ley patterns and bold stripes are
especially smart.

The Skins Heat

Meters that measure the tempera-
lures of stars, used to test the heat
of the human skin, show that, con-
trary to popular belief, colored skin
is virtually no better protection
against heat than white complex
ions. Although black paint absorbs
heat, it is found that black human
skin absorbs no more of it than
white. The star meters, which pick
up the human heat rays at a dis
tance and thus do not upset the
skins natural response by contact,
show that mans skin measures heat
changes as sensitively as the most
delicate thermometers. A normal
person can feel a temperature rise
at a rate of less than one thou
sandth of degree per second. His
subconscious faculties are aware of
the change within three seconds and

The Quest of Life

ONE of the best antidotes
~ and cures of the craze for
publicity is a love of poetry
and of the things that belong
to poetry-the beauty of ma
ture, the sweetness and splen-
dor of the common human af-
fections, and unselfsh aspira-
tions of the soul. The most beau
tiful things that can ever come
to us cannot possibly be news
to the public. 1t is good to find
the zest of life in that part of
it which does not need, and
will not bear, to be advertised.
1t is good to eat our meat with
gladness and singleness of
heart.-Van Dyke.

Black and White Popular
for Formal Evening Wear

Black and white have established
themselves as the height of for
mality for evening wear. Used to-
gether, they are always the more
effective. Seen recently in one of
the best New York fashion ateliers
was a formal gown of white lace,
pailletted all over with rhinestones,
and over it was worn a charming,
hiplength jacket of black net. Fit
ted snugly at the waistline, and with
straight sleeves slightly puffed at
the shoulder, it fared out in a full
peplum below the waist.

At the same time, if you have

The Bayer Aspirin you take

print. The latest entrant into the
printed realm is lace. Printed laces
are the big news in the lace story
for the coming season. Granted
that prints for resort wear and for
spring are more lovely each year
but never have they risen to greater
heights of glamor then when col

color-gloriously.
The evening gown in the picture
is fashioned of printed Chantilly lace,
the patterning done in green and

And if you want to wear printed
lace in daytime let it be a blouse

spring bolero suit-a word to the
wise is sufficient.
The advance arrival of new prints
would indicate that the vogue for the
spring and summer of 1887 prom
ises to exceed all previous records.

Talk, About q
A Typical Reducing Diet

~ P1NtI1 1eO"1O111e D1Ct
THERE is so much being said
l. and written about overweight
that the average individual may
wonder whether or not overweight
can always be reduced to normal
by simply cutting down on food,
without having to exercise or use
gland extracts.
Now it can be said definitely that
while every overweight individual

Treating a Boil.


lowing the squeezing of boil to
get out the "core" are known to
every physician, and patients are
always warned that the boil should
be allowed to point" before any
opening should be made, if at all.
The treatment of a boil is by
heat; hot congresses if possible, or
what is now being used to a great
extent, the hot magnesium sulphate
Epson salts) dressing. The dry"
form of magnesium sulphate is used
which contains II per cent less
water than the usual crystal
form with which we are all familiar.
This is mixed with glycerine to
form thick paste, put on gauze,
and applied directly to the boil. The
paste absorbs moisture, so should
be kept we'll covered between ap-
plications. This paste can be left
on for several hours. To increase
heat and action of the magnesium
sulphate a hot water bag can be
placed on top of the dressing.
When the boil points and is ready
to open, sharp toothpick, which
has been dipped in carbolic acid
is gently bored or drilled into the
center of the boil. A magnesium
sulphate dressing applied directly
to the boil helps the pus to drain
out of the boil.

overeating, can be reduced to nor
NAL weight by cutting down on the
food intake and increasing the ex-
ercise; no gland extract-thyroid or
pituitary-is needed.
The thought then for every case
of overweight, at first anyway, is
to go on reducing or a reduction
diet.
And the thought behind every re-
duction diet is not that the amount
of food eaten will be all that the
body will need for its work, but,
because the reduced or reduction
diet does not supply the body's
needs, the body itself has to supply
some food and so gives up some of
the fat that it has stored.
By asking the body to supply
some of this food or fuel-a little
every day of its stored up fat-the
weight of the body gradually and
daily becomes less. The amount of
weight lost daily may not be more
than three or four ounces but when
this 3 or 4 ounces is multiplied by
(week) or 80 (month) it means a
loss of l1z to 2 pounds each week,
or 6 to pounds each month.
Regular Foods Needed.
Thus when physician makes out
or prescribes a reducing diet for a
patient he makes sure that there
will be enough of the foods used
daily that are needed to do the regu-
lar or routine work of the body-for
the work of digestion, breathing, the
of the blood, the getting rid of
wastes and other Work-and then
letting the stored fat in the body
be used up for any exercise the
body does, if it is only sitting or
walking around the house or doing
hard muscular work.
The physician is careful in ar
ranging the diet that enough" of
each kind of food-proteins, starch
es, fats, liquids, minerals and vita
mins-is provided. The only diff
ference, generally speaking, is that
the amount" of food is less.
Meat and fish must form a part
of the daily menu as proteids are
needed by the body to build and
repair worn tissues. A typical re-
ducing diet as arranged by Kather-
inc Mitchell Thoma, director of die
tetics, Michael Reese hospital, Chi
cago, is as follows:
Breakfast-orange or apple or Y
grapefruit or II cantaloupe or one
serving fresh strawberries; choice
of roll or thin slice of bread; egg
boiled or poached; l glass skim
milk or tea or coffee. For noon
and evening meal each Chat is
twice these amounts should be TAX
en- daily: clear stock soup and veg
etables; large serving of salad COM
posed of any of the following-head
lettuce, tomatoes, string beans, cab
bage, beets, celery, carrots. Use
mineral oil as a dressing; thin
slice of bread or II potato; choice
of lean beef, roast or steak, lean
veal, lean lamb, white meat of
chicken, white fish, eggs; choice
of 2 servings of either asparagus,
brussels sprouts, cabbage, spinach,
string beans, caulifower, sauer-
kraut, or one serving of either
beets, carrots, turnips, squash,
peas; choice of fruit for breakfast.
