LEAVES FROM DAILY LIFE

A WOMAN’S DAY.

(A Serial Day by Day.) (Continued).

The duties of the day accomplished little time is left to dress for dinner before starting for the theatre or settling down tor a quite and restful evening at home.

Nothing is more injurious to health than to leave a warm room to change in a cold one and the reasons already mentioned make it practically impossible to have a coal tire for the halfhour required for dressing on account of the amount of work involved.

Consequently the majority of peoplo do without u tire altogether, and as a result sutler from colds and cliills; or they get into the habit of denying themselves the comfort and sense, of refreshment which naturally follows a change of dress ; before tlie evening meal, however simple, the change for man and woman alike from clothes associated with the “workaday” of life to those of repose or pleasure. But the less the evening change is made a matter of every day routine, the more danger there is from the occasional change in a chilly bedroom, tots those evening entertainments outside one’s home, where evening dress is essential.

A loro chills are caught through undressing or changing in cold rooms than in any other way. Gas Fires for the dressing and bedrooms are mivalunble. Doctors

recommend them. Doctors use them. (Watch for continuation to-morrow.)
