The Latest Fashions in Stationery

Tinted note paper is again in fashion. More than this, the smartest papeterie is elaborately decorated and the quality of the paper itself has been radically changed for the autumn trade. Cadet gray, French blue, Yale blue and gray green papers, that have always been popular, as we'll as the bank note, cream laid, kid and linen fin ishes, are all quite out of the running to- day. The correspondence supplies now come in pastel or the deeper autumn tones, hav- ing cartridge and burlaps finish.
 The pastel tinted sheets are cut quite small, indeed; 1t Is an evidence of good taste just now to use small sized paper for letters as well as notes, and all the stamp ing is done In very small script or old English lettering. Furiously as the black letter fashion ragged, it has with unexpected suddenness been dropped from general use, and 1t is prevailing notion to have the

The wedding of Miss Loui Eugene Strane. daughter of Mrs W. T. Strane of Woodlawn and granddaughter of Major A c. Legg of Elkmont, to MT. Bozeman c. Bulger took place last evening, the cere- mony being performed by Dr. Blackwelder of the Woodlawn Baptist Church in the presence of a few close friends.

Coffee Being Replaced by Postuin Food
 Coffee


 Coffee
 'I am the wife of a minister. About three years ago warm friend, an eXem- plary mother and the conscientious wife of a minister, asked me If had ever tried giving up coffee and using the Postum Food Coffee I had been telling her of my excessive nervousness and i'll health. She said: We drink nothing else for break fast but Postum Food Coffee, and it Is a delight and comfort to have something that we do not have to refuse the children when they ask for it.
 "I was surprised that she would permit the children to drink even the food cof- fee, but she explained that 1t was a most healthful beverage and that the children thrived on it. A very little thought con- vinced me that for brain work, one should not rely upon a stimulant such as coffee is, but should have food and the very best of food.
 My first trial of Postum was a failure. The maid of all work brought it to the table lukewarm, weak, and altogether lacking in character. We were in despair, but decided on one more trial. At the sec- ond trial, we faithfully followed the direo- tions, used four teaspoonsful to the pint of water, let it boil full fifteen minutes after the real boiling began, and served 1t with rich cream. It was delicious and we were all won.
 'I have since sung the praises of Postum Food Coffee on many, many occasions and have induced numbers of friends to aban- don coffee and use Postum, with remark able results. The wife of college profes- sor sadd to me short time ago that noth- ing had ever produced SO marked a change in her husbands health as the leaving off of coffee and the use of Postum Food Cof- fec" Edith Smith Davis.
