HEALTH HINTS.
People are always telling women (says the Boston Herald) that the throat is the first part of their bodies to reveal the insidious approach of age. But they do not add that high “ choker ” collars and the stiff linen in which the “ tailor-made ” young woman and the athletic girl delight to bind their necks are age’s most poent allies. The proper way to treat a neck is to give it all the air and freedom possible. Bestow your linen collars and chemisettes upon some one who does not want a wellpreserved throat. Rip every high collar off of every bodice, and finish it with a ruffle of soft silk, if it must have a finishing. Cut your housegowns down in Ys in the back and front. Make your ginghams and your muslin with round waists and surplice fronts, and trim them with a bit oS: lace at the throat. Another thing which shoemakers and physicians will tell you to do for your complexion is to wear looser shoes during the spring than you do the rest of the year. The feet seem to feel the general spring
languor even more than the rest of the frame does, and whatever gives them the nearest approach to barefoot ease is the best thing for them in summer.
