It is no uncommon thing to find among our acquaintances that many persons, when asked as to the kind of breakfast they eat, reply that they either eat none at all 01 only d1ink a cup of coffee or tea. It is true that the ordinary American 'l11-eakfast is calculated to strike terror in the minds of the average European, andErench‘people would be appalled atthei’dea of eating a beefsteak or a couple-of chops the first thing in the mounting; and yet it is a great mistake toeommence the.”day without a good meal as a foundation. Itlmayv have. been. noticed .by those who have no appetite for breakfast thet if.hung1ny- on retiring it is an ex- caption. to havea feeling of hunger on 4. :mkingf1n the morning. It 18 probable that duiing the Sleep the functions of digestion being in. .abeyance the stomach connects, and this is probably whysomepersons" cannot eat late at night. The empty stomach, having no func- titm to perform, contracts itself, and in the morning requires sonic little stim- ulation to begin its daily work. This is. why So many, especially invalids, 133111011 take a heavy breakfast. I‘oSv those who can dO'it it is a good plan to drinka. little cold water on ris- Eng: It. washes out the stomach, takes away any mucous that may have collect- ed there in the night, and stimulates the digestive glands to give fourth their secretions .and. prepare for that important a‘ct, digestion. Miami's-always an infinity of parasol shapes, but this"season the infinity seems to have been multiplied. It is the right thing to have the paiasol hmmonize With the gown. Dainty little grass linen sunshades, to go with suits of that materal, come in, all the fancy patterns, lace trimmed and ribbon tied, and the effect of this evei y‘thingjto-match idea is extremely pleasing. By the Way, the grass linen girl also has shoes,'hats and gloves, all in the linen color. But to return to the sun- shade question—~there are also the fairy-like chilfon-bedecked and flower- gardened parasols. The pa‘rzisol used as the summer girl knows how to use it, is an even more dangerous weapon than the fan. She also devotes much thought to its selection from a complexion standpoint. Itinust be as suited to her particular style as her gowns. Then a lace-cur- tained effect is very coquettish, and she is sure to have one or more of them. indeed, the sunshade is a subject upon which much thought can well be put, for it is the touch which, to a great extent, either makes or mars a gown.

The privileges of American wheel- men in Europe are likely to be consid— erably curtailed.‘ It seems that English and American member. 0! the Touring Club de France, who go cycling in Italy. are allowed to take their wheels in free or duty, on presenting their cards of membership. . _ Each wheelman receives, at the fron- tier, 9. pass good for six months, which he is to give up on leaving .the country. The Touring Club becomes responsible for eachtourist so doing,. and if the pass is not turned in within the six months it has to pay about 50 francs duty on the careless member’s wheel. There are 2,000 English membérs of the club, and so many of them have, involved it in expense through simple heedlessness by not returning their passes, that there is danger that the guarantee may be withdrawn alto~ zether. ” In that case the many thousands of French members, as well as a. consid- erable number of American ones, will have to pay duty on their wheels when entering Italy, getting it. back when leaving the country. - At present members of the L. A. W. are readily admitted to membership in the French Touring Club, and the privilege is a much appreciated conven- ience so far from home. It would be a pity to lose any of the advantages through insular boorishness.—New York World. To the Pole w ith Stealth Rams.
