Theodore Roosevelt, accompanted by Mrs, Roosevelt, will leave to-mor- row for a trip to the West Indies, but all information as to where they will Bo, how long they will be away and the steamer upon which they will sail has been refused.

We're not here long, #o let's make our stay agreeable, Let us live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, and look well. What a glorious condition to attain, pel dy how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath. + Folks who are accustomed to feel @ull and heavy when they arise, split- ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the \ whole of the internal poisonous, stag- pant matter, Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stom- ach, liver and bowels the Bs my day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus Ing, sweet ening and purifying the entire aliment- ary canal before putting more food into the stomach. ‘The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating, It cleans out all the sour fermentations, , waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast.

J., Hopeless in View of the Fact That Nature Has Not a Single Standard of Feminine Shoulders. THE PERFECT THIRTY Sikes ARE Anatomical Revelations UBeRAL AND as Long as There Are Perfect Thirty -Sixes— Decollete Scale Varies for Light, Middle and Heavy Weights 4 By Nixola Greeley-Smith. The Woman's Club of Orange, with Mrs. Thomas A. Edison to the fore in the movement, has undertaken the task of uplifting the decollete. Maybe this is because the decollete needs uplifting and maybe it {s merely because the Woman's Club has uplifted every-| __ thing else in Orange and there is only the decollete left. Whatever the motive, the Social Committee, which censors the club dances, is now including with every invitation a request that guests will aid the committee in “establishing a proper standard of dress.” It 1s added that the suggestion is made “owing to the present extreme style of evening gowns and also to forestall the necessity of criticism by members of the/] * committee.” Just how we are to have a single standard of decollete when nature has not seen fit to establish a single standard of shoulders I don’t quite see. Maybe a sliding scale might be feasible, but a standard, never. As a general thing, all the perfect thirtysixes among womankind enteriain very liberal views on the subject of the low neck gown, This 1s so generally true that it 1s possible to guess almost any woman's welght, height and bust measurement from the views she entertains on propriety in dress. Which makes it the more extraordl nary that Mrs. Thomas A. Edison, @ notadly beautiful matron, should decome a censor of gowns. me New York seems unusually @————————————— proper in the matter of shoulders thi8/wouid help 10 establish a rule for Looking around at the Met- us must concede that certain revela~ tions due to the short skirt now cur- : rent are errors of judgment, if not! what wife does not have her of morals.

Mrs. Scott, who weighs barely nine- ty pounds, charges that her athletic husband hardly allowed her enough money to feed herself; often her al- jowance was $1 and again % a week to procure food. She charges that while she was living with Scott, at the home of his parents, that she was not allowed to come to the dining- room, but was compelled to eat from a trunk in her own room Mra. Scott says that her husband gavo her @ brass wedding ring, and that he had asked her to keep their marriage a secret, because he feared a breach of promise action by a chorus girl, She says that he offered her $60,000 to go to Reno and get a divorce. Justice Crane endeavored to get the attorneys for the couple to adjust matters out of court, that publicity might be avolded, but no such ar- rangements could be made.
