1 life

Embroidered robe patterns, with the design wrought with tiny white Deads, may now be obtained in all the shops, and one of these handsome beaded patterns is shown here, made up over metal blue satin; the white reading being done on black chiffon. The chiffon tuhic follows closely the lines of the blue satin gown beneath and is, in fact, attached to it. In the deep decolletage is set a yoke of gold lace veiled first with white lace and then with black chiffon. The sleeve finish matches this yoke. The big white straw hat is trimmed with finely shirred black mallne and two superb blue feathers.

WATER DRINKING. We are constantly nrged to drink Inrg-ely of nater, and where the water can be had In a state of parity, no better advice could be Driven. But we seldom find renlly pore water In the natural state some authorities say never. Water fa a great solvent, nnd carries with It to a very frreat extent, whatever It comes .la contact with. Rata water or snow water called atmospheric water, brings down with It In Its course through the air, the solid particles of dust, (terms ef animals and plants, and also the various gases, and when caught from roofs of building's, has the additional impurity of all the materials which lodge thereon. Terrestrial waters are also Impure, as the water absorbed by the soil as It falls becomes contaminated with the mineral and other matter contained In the soil. The character of spring; or well water depends on the character of the soil through which It has passed. Even where water Is clear aad sparkling, It may be very imImpnre. Une salts In water cause what Is known as hardness. Ia addition to the soluble and suspended Imparities found In water, there are living ornjanlsms animals and plants. Plant life is claimed to exercise a degree of purifying; Influence on water, but dead organic matter cannot but be' harmful. Ponds, lakes and rivers are generally purer than spring or well water, as water which goes Into them generally runs over the surface, and taken up much less impurity than that which strains through the soli. While the solid Impurities -may be removed from the water by flltratlon, too much faith cannot be placed la filtration as a means of purification; the security afforded Is limited. The process of dlatlllatloa gives the greatest security, bat It Is not practicable without devices which are not always to be had, or being supplied, could not be successfully used by every one. Distilled water Is not considered wholesome by all authorities. Warsaw, In., and Mr. and Mrs. Smith of Englewood at ther home yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Mathews Hoffman of Doty street spent Sunday visiting friends in Chicago.

A rubbing with cocoa butter once r twice a week, after & bath, will go a long way to insuring foot comfort at all times. If you want your flesh to have a "satin" finish use the flesh brush freely every morning of your life. This rubbing Is as good for your circulation as it Is for the texture of your flesh. As a food the peanut is at once the richest and the cheapest, as the bulletin on the cultivation of the peanut issued by the United States department of agriculture indicates. It contains everything that is in beef and a fat not inferior to butter or olive oil, so that peanut butter can take the place of both beef and butter. Peanut oil serves every purpose for which olive oil la used, and the byproduct Is equal to corn or bran as stock food. Roasting the peanut at a temperature above 160 Fohr. coagulates its albumen and Impairs Its digestibility. Great care should be given to the selection of powders or pastes used for cleansing the teeth. In view of tha fact that a woman's beauty may be marred. If not made, by her teeth, it Is wise to pay atetntion to whatever is applied to them. There are many cleansing agents in which cuttlefish bone, ground. Is a part. Used once a week, this would be harmless, but there Is sufficient roughness in the material to wear the enamel If the former Is ap. plied every day. Be It understood that once the enamel, which is a thin shell covering the tooth structure, and not the tooth itself, is Injured, cracked or worn, trouble Is bound to ensue. The tooth beneath the enamel is spongy, absorbing all liquids and crumbling to pain and destruction.
