Young Girls and Drink Even the Tempting Cocktail or the Langurous High Ball Are To Be Studiously Avoided by Maids of Tender Years. y POIIOT1IY MX. if f M 1m a . I A young eirl wants to know If It in proper for fir to drink cocktaili and wine when s'ic goem out to dinner cr lur.'Ch with a man friend. To this quest ion I inr.nt emphatically answer, "No." A "Ingle g)aM of wine' or one rorktall or a mug of beer may of themselves be Inno cent enough, and lo a girl m harm If partaken of In the privacV and shelter of her own home, but no youncf girl can drink al coholic liquors In public place with out making herself a target for Invidi ous comment. Though a girl be as chaste as Ice. and as pure as snow, and as sober as the town pump, she will Inevitably get the reputation of being fast If she in ob served clinking glasses across a restaur ant table. Justly, or unjustly, suspicion and doubt always hover about the girl who orders anything stronger to drink than tea, and even as Cleopatra dissolved 1 her priceless : pearls In a cup of wine, and quaffed It down, so has many a young Aftt-mKn i! :'U" Gown. The Love of Possession woman dropped her good name In her cccktall glass. There Is only one rule of conduct for girls, and thHt is to avoid even the ap pearance of evil. It tsn't enough for a girl Just to be good. Fhe'a got to look good, and that Is why she cannot permit hcrpclf to be seen drinking wine In public. Girls ere emotional creatures, and Just tho excitement of having dinner tn a rostai'rant, the thrill of the gay scene, the excitement of people coming and go ing, the lilt of the music get Into their blood and bring a flush to their cheeks, a sparkle to their ees, and key their volcna up to a higher note. How easy for the casual observer to fancy that such a girl Is intoxicated if he sees an array of wine glasses at her plate, or has observed her drinking a cocktail. Yet the girl may have had only a sip of wine, and be drunk only on her own high spirits. Men are never fair to women about the drink question, for the very man who will urge a girl to be a sport, and have a cocktail or another glass of wine, Is the very first to condemn her for doing so. More than that the standard by which every man Judges a girl Is whether she drinks or not. When a man wants to express his con viction that a woman la. like Caesar's wife, above suspicion, he invariably says, "She's as straight as a die. She never touches a drop of anything to drink." There's no evil he believes of the woman who doesn't drink, and there's no evil he doesn't believe of a woman who does drink.. 1 And in this opinion he la Justfied, for drink is responsible for the first down ward step of practically every girl who leaves the straight and narrow path. Wine that inflames the passions and paralyses the Judgment makes the way easy for the tempter. Don't drink in public, girls. The Ight sort of a nan will respect you for re fusing to do so, and you are lucky to lose the attentions of the wrong sort of cne. No man wants a cocktail-drinking girl for a wifa. There is something, dellclously Parisian about thin costume that one f the beat known French dressmakers launched Into favor by dressing one of his prettiest "mannequins" In it and sending her to promenade about the race grounds at Auteull. It is of biscuit colored taffeta. ; The bodice Is a.bloune with long fitted sleeves finished by a net flounce. The V-shaped decolletage is finished by a smart conch shell col lar held up by a wreath' of wee pastel colored roses. The bodice crosses in front and falls in a cutaway effect which encircles the hips. This length ens into a flat panel in the back. The skirt is a slip of taffeta veiled by two long flounces of maline net embroidered by hand." The parasol has , great roses of vivid cerise splashed across it, and this color appears again In the bit of brocade that covers the tight 'little turban trimmed" In tufts of aigrettes.

More has been written about her than of any other person In history. Napoleon alone excepted. For nearly half a millennium the world has read her story In sheer wonderment; and as for the specialists In psychology, they will never have done with their theories concerning the potty country Klrl who defeated the greatest captains of her time, and by the power of her per. aonallty Inspired a nation with the energy that was to save It from destruction.

There Is always a certain difference ol opinion as to what constitutes perfect physical proportions. Some artists admire the tall woman and others the short, but In either case the rest of the body should be fashioned in accord. The ideal ex pressed in early Greek sculpture shows the head but one-seventh the entire height of the body, but modern taste has con siderably modified this standard.

I and a slight increase In flesh is not only becoming, but an indication of good phy- , sical health. Remember that muscles weigh more than flabby flesh and turning the flesh to muscles will make the meas urements -mailer, even If the weight is not decreased. An Increase In flesh ac cording to age Is taken Into consideration by some life Insurance companies in mak ing policies. For example, a woman 5 feet 3 inches tall at 21 years of age should weigh 110 pounds, at 35 years of age she should weigh 125 pounds, and ten pounds more at 65 years old. Women with small oones canont carry to advantage as much flesh as can those with larger frames for the reason that flesh, whether it is fat or muscle, takes up more room than bones. Considerations of this sort must govern the amount ono should weigh. Madame Isc'belPs next lesson' will take up the subject of the hair, how to keep it healthy and promote Its growth.

Mechanic, r'nn Francisco, Cal. A. The answer as to why Iron filings, turnings, nails, etc., adhere to magnets is because iron is magnetic; but this .jes not really reply, because It is unknown how a magnet attracts. What magnetism is cannot be discovered until it Is dis covered what electricity is. The two forces are closely connected. Magnetic lines of energy crossing an air gap con stitute a magnetic field of force, oni of the most valuable possesions of n.an, because electricity ran be taken -llrectly out of it by the rotating armature of any dynamo; but a field can be .et up by electricity, a reversal of the process, as In any electric motor.
