NEW YORK, Jan. 21. A uprlng opening
ot frocks for 6 and "-ycar-oliln would bo an
attractive bazar. It seems n pity sorao
enterprising ilry goods houao ilocs not ordor
one for tlio benefit of proud and nmbltlous
nianiinati, who will Htlut tliclr own ward
robes In order to garnish the plump per
aous of their youthful daughters. Thin
conviction Is strong upon one who enters
the department of any one of the big cm
porlurub where ready-made gowns for girls
of all ages are shown. The winter fitsh
lons nnd fabrics have utmost disappeared,
nnd It Is like walking Into springtime to
utroll among the lay figures decked with
plctttrcsnuo little toilets of light twilled
flannel, Abbess cloth, veiling, crisp Swiss
nnd crepo Nublenne. Constructed on lurger
lines any ono of these charming gowns
would be sultablo for the most fastidious
debutante, for llio child of tho day does
not dress a moment behind tho fashions.
Hncrustatlons of lace, panne, boleros.
pAsto buckles nnd buttons, taffctu drop

for children, a novelty that has found a
place nt once, and tho dresses made usually
of flno Trench dress flannel, cashmere or
veiling are charmingly decorated In needle
worked designs of closely mingled nnd
various colors. Tho blue gown tinder dis
cussion Is a pure sky tint, nnd Its frcttc.l
edgings show dellcatu touches of rose green
and black cunningly combined. A belt of
rojo-colored suedo worked In tiny turquoise
beads Is the only ornamental fcaturo not
supplied by this self-decorating costume.
An extremely pretty wash silk suit In
plnkich lllnc and cream white Is tho fitting
usKoclato for the blue veiling. All tlio
lilac stripes show at the top of every pleat
In the sklit, nnd scattered violets oppeur In
tho embroidered bands that enclosu tho
panels of cream silk on the skirt and
waist. Tho rleeves nro consecutive puffs
of white silk, brnccloted with straps of the
embroidered violets, nnd the pretty llttlo
maid wears open-worked cream whlto llslo
horn with her black kid slippers.

Tho erazo for whlto hose on children Is
unaccountable, but none the less does It
grow, nnd the lacc-llko hose of whlto
uslo a ro tho latoat fashion. I'crhaps whlto
lng Impurities to escape. Then the dally
bath finishes tho work.
Tho woman who hns banished colds by
means of water drinking anil currying
claims to reiiulro much less clothing than
formerly. In terror of her health she built
breastworks of flannel which proved
uttorly useless when the assault came.
Since she has gone In for the homo-raado
product In heat she finds that sho Is now
much warmer with less clothing.
Those who Intend to put this slruplo cold
euro In practice, and It is a remedy for
many another evil, should remember that
water taken with meals docs not count nt
nil, or ir it does it is miner to tie nuueci io
the sldo of thu enemy. It must bo taken
before breakfast nnd again Just before re
tiring, and n whole quart must ho Blpped
within say thrco-iuartors of nn hour. If
cold water chills ono tho temperature may
bo raised n llttlo until this difficulty Is over
come. Some good cheap distilled wnter Is
best whero thcro Is nny question of tho
purity of. the water supply.
Thcro Is ono other essential point to be
remembered by thoso who would csrapo
colds ns well as drugs. By tho free circu
lation of tho blood much Impurity Is thrown
ft through tho pores. It Is thercforo Im
portant, when tho prcsenco of a cold Indi
cates somo Impurity in the blood, that lu
addition to tlio dally bath tho clothes worn
next tho akin should ho changed frequently
to prevent rcabsorptlon to the skin. Of
course, clothing worn during the day should
never bo w.orn at night.

Until a girl Is 15 her play and school gowns
should ho shaped thus, and there Is n very
decided tendency toward cutting sleeves off
at tho elbow. This Is a reversion to tho
fashion of tho children's grandmammas,
who woro low-necked and short-sleoved

about tho horn of tho very full Jupe, which
Is nttached under tho arms nnd ncross tho

wnlst Is well-rdgh hidden by n very wide
collar of tho Imitation point. Under tills

which is", nil about the edges, made fast to

A woman who for years suffered from
violent colds which several times threat
ened to end fatnlly claims to have attained
Immunity by the tifo of pure cold water as
n medicine and an ordinary horso brush
for currying ns n morning nnd evening ex
erclso. Owing to a sovoro nervous break
down sho was obliged to consult a New York
nhyslcliin. famous for his original and
simple methods of treatment. After laying
down tho law on thu subject of diet nnd
fresh air ho said: "You will also go to
some big department storo nnd purchaso
for 35 cents a horso brush with which you
will glvo your wholo body a thorough rub
bine each morning beforo youbathe. As
soon as you rlso you will ill 1 a quart pitcher
with drinking water and sip It slowly wnuo
dressing. At night do tho samo thing over
nwiln. omitting, ot courso, tho bath.
Tho cold wator was easily managed aim
soon became Indlspcnsablo, but at first tho
horso brush seemed to (car the sensltlvo
skin. Having ' absoluto confidence In her
nhvslclan. however, tho patient persisted
at first barely touching tho bristles' to her
body. Within a few weeks sho was not only
nblo to do tho currying most vigorously
but really anticipated It with plensurc. Tho
signs of the first winter cold drove her in
hnstn to tlio doctor, Uio great man o
mcdlclno refused to supply her with drugs
Ho questioned hor as ono would n chili
ns to leaving her windows open nt night, as
to drinking wnter regularly and taking hor
exercises, upon all ot which sho passed
fair examination. Ho said: "Then you
have been Indulging in holiday over
eating. Whenever you ent a heavy rich
dinner, nnd let It be ns seldom ns posslblo
omit' tho next meal and substitute n quart
of water. You can't take cold unless you
cet Into condition for it."
Tills sho did nnd tho cold fnlled to ma
turo, and although sho has frequently left
undone those things which sho ought to
have done, nnd vlco versa, and paid a pen
nlty proportionate to her carelessness, she
has never since suffered from n rcnny vio
lent cold.
Of course, tiny system of living which
builds up a well nourished body is Inimical
to colds as well na other forms of disease,
Cold water taken In this manner simply
washes tho stomach, carrying off tlio in
lurlous acids which generate thero nnd
which allowed to circulate through tho
blood impoverish it. thereby wenkonlng the
vitality of tho person. Aftor washing the
blood clean ns It were, tho next thing Is to
induco circulation. This U done by means
of tlio vigorous currying, which, besides
bringing the bipod to tho surfaco to resist

After having been laid In tho rcceptaclo
f tho bygono for a dozen years or more the
earring has been icstorcd to tho favor ot
tho fair sex nnd ero long It will bo as con
spicuous ns it wns tu the days when bar-
barlc princesses decked themselves with
such gaudy ornaments.
Of ono thing tho public may rest assured.
Tho up-to-dato woman hns no intention ot
going back to tho days of slavery. Sho Is
much too clover, and she realizes that in
tend of lidding such heavy ornaments
would detract from her appearance. The
fashionable earring Is u little screw affair,
In which the setting Is not visible nnd only
tho ono precious stone Is seen against the
ar.
Thoso who thought of the matter at all
woro convinced that neither they nor their
children would ever live to seo the resurrec
tion of thu earring. Hut tho twentieth cen
tury maid Is extiemely versatile, one can
never tell Just what she will do next, rcr
haps that Is ono renson she Is so attractive.
Jewels havo n wny of culling attention to
themselves nnd Incidentally their surround-
Ings. It Is needless to say that this fact
has been known to the feminine mind since
biblical times. Rings uro worn to attract
ono's glanco nt tho pretty hand which they
ndorn, necklaces advertise a shapely neck;
why, then, not wear tho earring to set off
n well-turned ear?
That Is tho lino of reasoning adopted by
thosu who favor tho rcvlvnl ot the fnshioti.
And thero nre many who nre not afraid to
put their theory lu prnctlco nt somo ot the
lnrgo nftcrnoon nnd evening functions. For
so far tho docorntlon for tho ear Is not seen
pn tho street and It certainly seems more
fitting to reserve It for the handsome ru
ceptlon or ball gown.

peared ut ono of tho large balls recently
this could have been done at a rcnsonabli
outlay. Hut reconstruction means rebuild

tho change.
"Another clement that hns had a decided
effect on the snlo of Ingrain carpets," said
the salesman, "Is tho fnlllng off In quality.
Nearly all the manufacturers tuako stock
on order, that is, they make tho goods only
after they have been sold. Tho competition
has been so great that much cutting of
prices Is often done before sales enn bo ef
fected, nnd when the order Is finally booked
tho goods nre mnde In keeping with the
price. Tho merchant gets his carpet at n
low figure, but It is worth only what he
pays for It. Of course, this is bail policy, but
tho men nt the heads of many of theso car
pot concerns are not business men so much
ns they nro carpet makers. They enmo from
England, north of Ireland nnd Scotland, and
began In this country with a loom or two.
They were frugal, Industrious and conserva

style methods, but they m.ido and told great
quantities of enrpcts, nnd made money as
well. Hut they could not keep up with tho
procession, nud the other styles, straw mat
tings and rugs have played havoc with tho
Ingrain carpet business."
A trndo Journal In nn article on the sub
ject of tho decline In tho lusrnlu carpet
business says:
"Tho present demoralized condition has
been prophesied again nnd ngaln. Now tho

, Washington letter to tho St. Louts
Gloho-Democrnt snys:
The food of tho Atnerknn girl has fur
nished tho latest mibject of Inquiry by tty)
government dletnry experts, who, as tho
result ot a scientific Investigation, aver that
sho ha: an innrdlnato appetite for pastry
nnd sweets; that tho deslro Is quelled to
somo extent by n plentiful nllownnco of
fresh fruit, nnd that, while sho shows n
tendency to largoindulgence In butter, this"
weakness ought to ho encouraged rather
than repressed. Ilutter, being a form of
fat easily digested, Is good for girls.
Ono fact definitely ascertained Is that, for
a given amount of bodily activity, n woman
requires Just about four-fifths ns much
food as n man. When sho Is at moderate
work, her food must furnish her every day
with three nnd one-hnlf ounces of stuff to
mako niusclo and blood and enough fuel
(for running tho physical machine) to rep
resent 2,800 "calorics." A caloric Is tho
amount of heat required to raise tho tcni
pcraturo or ono centimeter of water 1
degree, nnd tho fuel materials aro chiefly
starch, sugar ami fat.
Tho most notable- oxpcrlment mndo by tho
experts was nt Lako Erlo college, In Ohio,
which Is nn advanced school for young
women. If has n faculty composed of
women, who board togother with tho stu
dents at coramous. To avoid disturbance
ot tho ordinary routine tho girls were not
told about tho dietary trial, which was con
ducted without tholr knowledge. Tlio nlm
was to furnish an appetizing table, with
plonty of nutritious food, at a cost not ex
ceeding 25 cents for each person. Every
thing edible was weighed before and after
meals and samples of tho various articles
eaten wero analyzed, to find out how much
fuel stuff, muscle-forming material, etc.,
they contained to tho pound.
One thing the girls would have, and that
was fresh fruit for breakfast. It was ex
pensive and the management opposed tho
indulgence for awhile, partly because fruits
nro not highly nutritious. Hut tlio medic
inal value ot fruits as nn clement ot diet
could not be donled,' nnd, furthermore, it
wnB nBcertalncd that tho ontlng of them
lessened to some extent tho craving for
candy, which with many, If not most,
young women seems to bo chronic. Per
haps It Is tho acid In tho fruit that does It.
Anyway, tho faculty was obliged to yield
and thenceforth 15 per cent of tho tnblo
money went for peachos, cherries and other
luxuries ot tho sort.
It was noticed that many of the girls ate
moro of tho regular breakfast when they
had fruit than they did when no fruit was
served. Another thing obsorved was that
the students did not euro much for beans or
peas. Thoy were natives of the mlddle
weat a region In which such legumes nro
need to a comparatively smnll extent. Now,
this was an Important matter, Inasmuch as
peas and beans nro extraordinarily rich In
"protein" the stuff that makes blood and
muscle. If the college hud been located
tu Massachusetts baked beans would havo
run up tho "protein" end of the dietary to
a high point.
At tho Lako Erie Institution, In tho nb
senco of peas ano beans, the bulk of tho
"protein" had to lonw from tho llesb of
animals and so ll Is not surprising to learn
that one-third of tho table money was spont
for moats and fish. It has often been
alleged that women eat less meat than men
do, but this oxpcrlment did not bear out
that thoory, the proportion being about tho
same ns that consumrd by the average of
ten clubs of male students observed In
similar fashion. Consumption of butter rau
high. hut. ns already said. It Is n very
wholesome kind of fat. though expensive,
nnd a liberal allowaucn of It Is to bo recom
mended becauso school girls aro npt to eat
less fnt In other forms than would be good
for them

nearly 12H ounces of starch and sugar,
which, with tho fat. go for fuel. The fuel
energy that enmo from tho nnlm.il food wns
1,025 calories, and the fuel energy from the
vegetable food 1.030 calories n total of 2,600
calories
Theso facts glvo nn Interesting notion of
what Is required to keep a fairly active
woman ngolng tho amount of fuel needed
to run her body mnchlne, nnd the quantity
of muscle nnd blood-forming stuff used up
tn repairs. Of course, If sho takes llttlo
exercise and docs no muscular wrk worth
mentioning sho will get along very well on
n lighter diet. On tho other band, If alio Is
a washerwoman or engaged In any other
arduous occupation, her demand for "pro
tein" and fuel materials will rise propor

Tin.' vltflliitieo of tin wotiuiti who hopi's to get tlio bost thltis out of
llfo must ln clorinil. It must tu nhvnys tllieotoil townnl tlio vital mutter
of lar own lienltli. Tills Is found to bo es-sontlnlly titu- of wives nnd
mothers, but If It Is truo of theiii, It Is t'quiilly true of tho younger
women, beenuso If they disregard health when they nre youu;; they pay
tho penalty lu mature years. Incessant work nud Incessant worry sum
up the history of millions of women. We look upon the devotion of n
woman to her home nnd children ns n beautiful thlnu'i It Is beautiful, the
moro enrnest the woman the greater the beauty of It, but If this woman
Is earnest about tho dally routine nnd disregards her own health. It is it
zeal without sense and hns a sure reaction.
One of the great pities of life Is that ill health conies to Just the
women who do not seem to deserve It; women whose lives are useful.
One should havo great sympathy for the woman who boldly offers up
all llfo nnd strength on the altnr of household cares and in the rearing
of her children, hut sympathy alone will not bring buck lo the womun
tho health she stictiilces so freely, It will not help her to complete her life
work: we can bo sorry for her all we like, but unless we can Induce her to
realize the mistake she Is making, her family will lose her help Just nt the
time they need It most. It does not necessarily follow that such n woman
will work ami worry herself Into an untimely decline, but II does menu
that she will unlit herself for being tho kind of mother ami helpmate who
rounds out the characters of her children and makes her home un nttructlvo
place.
Women expect to fade; they seem to anticipate II. .lust a little of thnt
eternal vigilance they show toward their tuntlly given to themselves will
keep them well preserved to mature years, nnd fortify them for n peaceful
and happy life in advanced age. liow Inllnitcly more u-eful N such n life
thnn the one thnt wears women out with the worries of every day breaks
them down physlenlly at thirty.
Volumes aro written these days about the duties of women, and about her
mission lu life, but the real gospel of woman's success Is the gospel of health.
All things may be added lo the llfo Mint Is founded on the basis of perfect
health. Hut how shall a woman be healthy who has some disorder of the
feminine organism, nnd whose physicians are unable lo glvo her the treatment
that cures. Any phjsielnn will prescribe for u woman that Is ill, and few
of them ever give permanent help to a woman with a serious displacement
or other leal trouble of t his nature. It does Indeed look hopeless to wo
men who want to be well and strong and who lose sight of the one way that
lias helped so many other women.
The real help for all such troubles Is found lu Lydlit 10. I'jiikham'H Vege
table Compound. The woman who looks askance at .Mrs. Pinkhain's medi
cine and tries all other methods will rreullze some day tho truth of tills state
ment. Why can she not take warning from the multitude of women who
have struggled all their lives long with uterine disorders and left behind them
to their children a legacy of nervousness and a memory of misery.
There is no fact more, absoluto than that Lydla H. lMukuum's Vegetable
Compound Is nature's Ideal assistant in building up ami strengthening the
female organism, enabling it to throw oil' disease, calming the nervous ten
sion nnd bringing health wherever It is used.
Let the woman who prides herself on her vigilance search out the truth
of these statements. There Is nothing which will do so much to help he.r
dim In t :t 1 it her usefulness toward hor family as uctiratc knowledge of how to
preserve her health at every crisis lu h-r life.
