CIGARS FOR WOMEN

FASHIONABLE IN SYDNEY Already two well-known Sydney women have lodged orders for the new Milady cigars, especially brought from Havana by a city tobacconist. The country is not far behind, as four packages are being sent, to squatters’ ladies. Though pipes did not long survive the ridicule of the stronger sex, the cigars, are as small and compact as cigarettes, are expected to appeal, as they are made of a particularly mild tobacco. It is intended to develop the cigarmaking industry in Australia, and tobacconists are confident that the fa;r sex will take (o them. “I have seen fashionable folk in London and Paris—titled ladies among them —smoke their cigar in cafes and the theatre,” said a leading Sydney tobacconist. “The latest evening bags feature a cigar-holder attached to the clasp of the bags.” Apparently the women abroad smoke more than their Sydney sisters, the Parisienues being the champions. They are closely followed by the smart London society miss. IF YOU ARE TOO THIN So much attention is devoted to the plump girl who wants to get slim that we are apt to overlook the fact that there are many thin women who want to acquire a few curves instead of some more bony angles. So; Get at least nine hours’ sleep every night. Take a glass of hot milk, sipping it slowly, after going to bed. Take another at 11 in the morning, and substitute a cup of cholocate for your early morning tea. Take four or live small meals daily, instead of three large ones. Eat little and often, should be the motto of the woman who wishes to put on, weight. Let your diet consist of soups, milky puddings, oatmeal porridge and stewed fruits, especially prunes. Take bananas at one meal every day, and eat a few raisins at breakfast. Lie down for half an hour after (he mid-day meal. If the throat, looks thin and lined, massage it with a mixture of cocoa, butter and olive oil. Practise deep breathing exercises before an open window for L r » minutes every morning. Take a teaspoonful of pure olive oil after each meal. Thin, sunken cheeks can ho filled

out by practising blowing hubbies. Inflate the cheeks and blow as if blowing bubbles. Practise before a mirror for five to ten minutes twice daily. Arms that are too thin for beauty can be improved by exercising with a pair of light-weight Indian clubs. Skipping is excellent for developing the shoulders and chest. Take a cup of camomile tea in place of the ordinary kind in the afternoon. Camomile tea is made from the dried camomile flowers with boiling water, and is taken with milk and sugar. It is excellent for soothing (he nerves.
