The Candy Habit.
Had Dr. Hopewell-Smith his way
he would absolutely prohibit the eat
ing of Rweota between meals. He
went so far In his address before the
British Medical association as to say
they should bo rigidly tabooed by tho
young.
Admitting that sweets had their uso,
ho emphasized tho need of modera
tion. Tho abuse of sweets, llko that
.of alcohpl, tea, etc., was very wide
spread. They should bo rigidly ta
booed by the young and parents should
not allow their children to eat any
and every kind of confectionery.
Sweet factories should bo under rigid
stato cotitrol and all confectioners'
shops and their wares should bo mib
Ject to examination by government
inspectors. Only absolutely pure
sweets should bo sold and thoso un
der tho most hygienic conditions pos
sible. Tho average woman isn't satisfied'
unless her husband quits loving hcrl
long enough to mako love to her occa-
slonnlly.

Nearly ovory woman nowadays
cherishes a Japanoso gown for houso
wear without realizing how interest

furisodo, beenmo very fashionable
Tho width of tho obi, or sash, has;
also varied, at first from two and a
half to thrco nnd n half Inchon, and
to six, seven, eight nnd nlno inches.
It is Interesting to noto that our
own now fashions in sleovos and
snshes originated nmong tho common
people of Japan, nnd from thorn woro
llnally adopted by tho upper classes.
Tho young lndlos of tho Samurl cluss
woro tho first to follow tho popular

theso fashions prevail ovorywhoro.
It Is only from nbout tho middle of
tho seventh century that tho womon
of tho lower classes began to wear
tho long hnorl, or overcoat, at present
so common among nil classes of both'
sexes. This garment was originally a
duster worn by men to protect their
clothes when outdoors, and was thon
called dofuku, or traveling coat.
Finally thoy camo to" bo worn in
doors, and tho women adopted tho
garment. Tho upper classos in timo
followed the samo custom, and now
tho haorl is an indispensable part of
tho clothing to bo worn on formal oc
casions, oven in Bummor.
