The neglect to plentifully (lush these in the beginning will explain the numerous headaches, nausea and often positive sick ness that may await the unsuspicious and careless victims. But this Is only a com mencement of the adaptation to the radical change ln living that is forced on all those who have temporarily lost their cllmatlza tlon. It Is the matter of getting Into thej old rut gradually, consistently and safely. , The returned city dweller comes from soothing quiet to exasperating noise, from fresh fruit and vegetables to cold storage products, from peace and rest to bustle, confusion and hurry. There Is thus to be a .witch' off In many directions; and the prudent man must give due attention to the signals on the road. Far from doing so he Is apt to plunga into all sort, of city dissipation, particularly with foods. With a country appetite for fresh fruit, and other garden product, he flies to the stale varieties everywhere around, and, not only this, but satisfies his new appetite with all sort, of rich food before hi. stomach can adapt Itself by gradual move, toward .uch Indulgence. I. It any won der that he soon become sick and com plains that his vacation did him no good? Women Buy Dinner Cigars. Among the old Jokes exploded ln recent year, is that based on the assumption that no woman can buy her husband' cigar. Perhap the average matron fail, when khe trie, to .elect smoke, .exclusively for her lord', use, but It nevertheless Is a fact that moat of society's chatelalifes have a much to do with choosing th after-dinner cigars offered to their men guests aar with electing food itself. Foremost among them in knowledge of good tobacco, re lates the New York Press, is Mrs. Stuy vesant Fish. She always buys, the same kind, a brand reserved exclusively for her use, so far as this hemisphere 1. concerned, and sold ln Europe only to a few nobla families. Although she easily might pay enormous amounts for the cigars always to he had at the Crosways, she studiously refrains from doing so. She buys them at the wholesale price and pays precisely $60 a hundred for them. Of course, they 'would be 1 cigar If purchased at retail. But the wealthy woman' frugality doubt . less Is to be commended when one reflect that th society novelist would not think of asking any of her characters to smoke a cigar costing less than 15 Mrs. Fish' cigar Include panatelas, conchas and In vinclbles, and are of various degrees of strength, but are all of the one quality. It is whispered that most men who dine In the Crosswaya stuff a few cigars into their -pockets before they leave the matron s smoking room. Mrs. Reginald C. Vanderbilt is not quit a economical a Mr. Fish, for she pay from T5 to I1UD a hundred for the cigar served to her guests. Her husband is not a heavy smoker, and she Insists that he confine himself to light smokes. He never take anything with more tobacco ln It than a panatela. and a a rule he restricts himself to the cadet size. Moreover,' the cigar he smoke are the mildest of the mild. But Mr. Vanderbilt is a shrewd enough hostess to know that not all men can be put off with such slight offerings on Nlcotlna altar. Therefore her humi dor hold cigar of all kind, from mildest to strongest. The sort for which she pay tin are a black a the proverbial spade are and strong enough to stand alone.

Mrs. Vanderbilt does not approve of smoking by women. One of her friends is a Russian noblewoman with all the small foible, of the czar', court. She would be so wretched without her after-dinner cigar that the young American matron make, an excep tion ln her case, but as a rule Mrs. Van derbilt makes no attempt to conceal her disapproval when a woman smoke. In her presence. Nrrvr Woman Flatht Bear. The mighty hunters of bears and other big game had better go lightly on their stories for the rest of tho season, slnco the latest instance of the year ha. become public, al though It was not through the chief par ticipant in the incident that It was made public. This time there was a woman In the case. She is Mrs. Mary Moore, who has charge of the linen room at the Antlers hotel at Colorado Springs during the winter. She spends her summers on a claim that she haa taken up on Cheyenne mountain, above Wade City, where she has a cabin and lives alone during the summer. She left the hotel, a usual, early tn the summer, taking with her, among other things, a whole ham and a bunch of Roman candles that had been left at the hotel and had been relegated to th linen room with other odds and ends. One night Mrs. Moore wa. awakened by a noise. She arose hastily and In the bright moonlight saw a big bear snuffing about the barricade of chair, and boxes which she had placed in the open doorway for cooling purpose, during ths night. The bear had sinelled the ham and wa. after It. Mr.. Moore was almost paralyzed with fright. She had no firearm, of any kind nor any chance of securing outside help, The bear was rapidly making headway tn breaking down the barricade ln the door way. Something had to be done and that quickly. Remembering In her excitement that bear, are alarmed at the smell of powder, Mr. Moore lit one of the Roman candle. After lighting It she whizzed It ln a nar row circle In front of the bear, some of the balls of fire striking him In th eye and on the nose. The animal reared back on Its haunches In sheer wonderment. Upon seeing thi Mr. Moore lit a pair of the candle, firing the ball at the ahaggy Intruder. The sec ond volley wa too much for Mr. Bear and be turned and without further investigation ran around the mountain aide. Leave from Fashion' Notebook. For the earlier part of the season silk are in order, but they wilt be very generally combined with cloth or velvet. Taffeta and urah are most appropriate for street wear, with 'liberty, nieanalme. tusaor and all of the soft, pliable silks fur house costumes, The beautiful new shades of cloth that have come out this season almost univer sally may be effectively braided, If not In self color, then ln some harmonious siiade; for here, too, w see tiie taste of the French designer exemplified, and the oddest color scheme, worked out with most artistic re sults. Plaids and broken checks come In blue and green, blue and green and brown, black and brown and in black and white, with wide swashes of velvet dashed over them. Again, the same weaves will be crossed wig i hair-line .tripes of velvet or scattered pnffusely with velvet dots of varying sizes. It Is one of the fads of the moment to introduce a Japanese sleeve Into a mannish coat, and, vice versa, many of the most elaborately trimmed coats hav severely plain coat sleeves. To accompany th trotteur skirts the three and four-button cutaway are really the smartest, as they are aisu tne most comronauie. The new taffetas are very effective, and there are also any number of plain change. able effects showing almost invisible check or stripe, and there are other silks printed Dining Chair, oak,, highly polished, wood sent brace arm, hand carved, price $1.55 m China Cabinet, all oak, full swell front, highly polished mirror back, 4 oak shelves, price -$15.00 1 fry t WV!lraa 'I 71 If r. iSrl V" $2.50 $3.50 V $4.00 1 $2.00 $3.00 ji 1 4, IGtlx Street.

The triumph of the season In the realm of silks Is In the niolre effects, with atrlpei of velvet (lowers tunning through them ' and velvet (lowers scattered promiscuously over their surfaces. These come in a wtd range of beautiful color combinations, in eluding most of the new shades of this sea son. Lavender and the purple shades are exquisite In these rich silks and brocades and some of tins most beautiful evening gown modela are fashioned of them. Household t tllltles.

The grieved parent, were asked what they had given the child to eat. " 'Nothln',' said the father, 'except a little red win and spaghetti.' "Now, can you imagine a child of 7 year eating spaghetti and drinking wine with It? Such diet is enough to kill a man.
