Reducers Queer Motions
BY IDA JEAN KAN

WOMEN ON the verge Of re-
ducing get the queerest notions
about food. They apparently
think that with enough will
power they could get along on
next 10 none and soon they'd be
their old sylph again.
They write to inquire about
some flimsy diet, that wouldn't
keep even a rabbit feeling
frisky and want TO know what
! think about IL and il it's re
duclng." One such inquiry came
in the morning mail. The diet
conSistsof black coffee and fruit
Juice for breakfast; clear soup,
crackers and strong tea for
lunch; and cheese, crackers and
tea for dinner.
rs Not Fun
II ism I fun 10 be fat, and il
seems 10 he human nature TO
grasp at any straw diet that
promises a slim figure. But don't
do il! You can do such beau
tiful iob of SlimmlnC down with
the right food pattern. a re-
duClng diet can be the best and
still he low enough in calorieS
10 reduce weight one 10 two
pounds a week. The secret is 10
make the 1000 or 1,200 calories
day provide all the protective
nutrients. .-------
Take the basic list OF essen
tial foods and plan your own
diet; a serving of lean meat or
fish or fowl; one or two eggs,
not fried; two cooked vegeta-
bleS. one green, raw vegetable
or salad, A glass OF SKINNED
milk or buttermilk and A serv-
ing Of cheese; plus two fresh

bread, thinly buttered.
But hack 10 your questions:
some OF you want 10 know
about a three-day liquid diet,
There is no harm in liquid diets
for three days, and II il helps 10
shrink your appetite, fine. But
once of the liquid diet, II you
slip back into your old ways Of
overeating, the pounds com e

Maintenance and repair work are

month Of last year. reaching $780,
0O0, 900, or approximately IS per cent
Of the May, 1889, level. On the 9TH

BELT STIFFENING:
TO CLEAN OLD LACE?
From J. B. r., Washinoton.

trIoW y. d. r., WGSnfnQLOn.)
Mrs. M. r. of Alexandria can stiff.
fen her belt with piece of narrow
betting or groSgrain ribbon stitched
or slip stitched, where the paper
was. There are preparations Of vari-
Gus sorts to be bought at the sand
10 cents stores with which the stiff
ening could be glued or pasted on
being careful not to get the mate
rial too damp which sometimes
makes spots come through to the
right side.
/. Would appreciate suggestions on
how to wash or clean a piece OF
very old and delicate lace. It is only
Soiled with age and the color is all
right.
(Fron Mrs. c. E. T., Washington.
Belts with paper stiffening can
not be sent to the cleaner; hence
one sees many dirty belts worn with
clean dresses. I solved the prob
lem when it first appeared. At most
10-cent and department stores, it is
possible to purchase heavy cotton
betting, white or black, in different
widths. Keep a supply on hand
and remake every belt. Yes, it will
take time, but when dresses require
belts, it is worth bit of ripping and
stitching to have them match, and
to be able to send them to the
cleaner.
