'.''V . cold roast beef, rice, stowed fruit, oheese and celery. , ; DANGEROUS RECKLESSNESS. ■ There must bo something exceptional about ; the feminine constitution,.for.otherwise how '; could • the women of the hour live healthily A : at: such: extremes; in : tlie, matter of toilette., Thoro once'was a time'when, in the first cool j. . days of autumn, one's underwear was coro- ■ pletely- changed .for the winter , months. Flannel nridorvests, warmer petticoats, thic- " ker stockings,' and serviceable boots were considered to be : absolutely; necessary. -Also a -winter dross was well lined throughout, and ' the bodice • was a tight-fitting affair, warm and snug. Then/too, going to a party ;meant that the ;hair was -carefully covered by a fleecy " cloud" or "fascinator," and a warm outsido wrap often . enveloped the :'' evening cape." , But nowadays a girl wraps herself up in a coat and skirt, wears a warm fur, and 'carries' a'cosy/muff, all of which is ■' in accordanco with .the old rrne.'v But all tho same-her. fur hangs on; her shouMers,_ and the.i opening, of the 'coat almost invariably shows-tho transparent yoke of a " peek-a-boo .waist," .as.tho Americans call a lace- -.: fronted blouse. When tho outside coat. is removed 'there is,nine'times ,'outof ten,.no j thing more: substantial underneath than a thin silk or muslin shirt, arid this is worn, in the house. A girl so clad -will, go' to the, front door and welcome or speed her guests J without , ever the 1 leakt thought of the, .v.':{cold 'winter: .wind'.that: strikes' ■ so "keenly. But even, this is riothing to' the risk'run by wearing thin pump T soled; shoes., with open- . work lisle stockings, on such wet-days as we* are having so many ofi: Besides, there is the . almost common practice of Sitting out in the open winter- night air in evening: dress be- • . tween the .dances,';-.without even the protection of a chiffonfiscarf.-'.The most reckless

young - man ; Tvill ; tie a ' silk ■ around his throat, and then ho has also the: ? stiff .white shirt front; as a !shield.v : i" Above all, the. ordinary man doesnot, discard •Warm un- ' dergaments. with .'.evening dress.,. as,,a girl. does. ' The ' uncovered Vhead' K'is,-? -harmless ,enough;;foi; the hair.of, most, is thick, and, is a covering in itself. • It . has - long beon .proved ; that, heavy..:,clothes:'.', are ' no warmer than light-weighted' onesj 'provided the substance, is:of iwool. Still, there is no. doubt that a sudden change from warm coats and furs. to .transparent muslin and laco must 1 sometimes at • least have bad results.— Melbourne " Argus:"
