BOUDOIR COFFEE
FASHIONABLE FAD
FROM THE FRENCH

"It is too bad about Clarissa," a
sweet old lady observed, after a visit
to a city relation. "She is so poorly
she has to have her breakfast in bed
every morning"
More likely it's pure laziness,"
snapped her less charitable sister.
1t may happen that the city cousin,
if she be up to date, is neither the one
nor the other. There is no longer
either surmise or suspicion of lazi-
ness attached to the woman who takes
the first meal of the day, if not in bed,
at least in her own room. Each day
may have for her an infinity of duties
to be performed She husbands her
forces for the fray by eating before
she dresses, and over her solitary cof-
fee cup quietly lays the plans for her
campaign.
The boudoir breakfast is undoubted-
ly an importation from the French,
and as such will meet with little favor
from many American husbands and
fathers. With them the term French
is synonymous with unpronounceable
and unintelligibe menus and inordi-
nately large bills.
mo French folderols for me"
fumed one crusty old gentleman. Il
want my family to come down to
breakfast like Christians, and have
something solid and comforting, like
ham and eggs"
If he had been a New Highlander he
would probably have added to his bill
of fare a doughnut, indigestible buck
wheat cakes, or a piece of pie.
1t is small wonder if milady holds
up her hands in horror at the thought.
Modern hygiene tells her that in a ma
jority of cases the simple foreign break
fast of coffee and rolls is far more
healthful than one that overloads the
stomach. If she be a woman of lei
sure who exercises little a heavy
breakfast will induce headache. Above
all, it creates fat, and the woman of
middle age who has any desires in the
direction of figure must avoid it as a
deadly enemy.
The business woman, who expects a
morning of hard brain work, Mill find
that the simple breakfast is the best
for keeping her head clear. AS one
successful woman said when asked
about her breakfast: Il never dare
take anything but some cocoa and a
roll or two. Anything else makes me
dull and heavy, and unfit for my days
work.
Some women go a step further and
taboo breakfasts altogether, though
this practice cannot be recommended
as an example for general following.
But the Franchwoman does not
cling to her simple boudoir breakfast
for hygienic reasons only. Far from
it. The Frechwoman is a marvel at
preserving appearances. She is taught
from childhood to bend all her ener-
gies to the feat of being charming
under all circumstances. She must
always be beautiful-or appear so.
Very few women are charming be-
fore breakfast. AS one frankly re-
marked: Il am always bad tempered
before have my coffee, and bad tenn
per makes me hideous."
The Frenchwoman has long recog-

USEFUL HINTS
FOR PRESERVING
PERISHABLE FOODS

1t matters little how much care is
exercised in the selection of food or
the sum expended in it's purchase if
1t is not properly cared for after it
reaches the house. Through careless
ness and ignorance the loss is often
great, proving that there is more than
a grain of truth in the old adage, "A
woman can throw out on a teaspoon
what man brings in on a shovel"
Salads and vegetables that arrive in
good condition are dumped down in a
hot kitchen to wilt and wither until
the cook gets good and ready to put
them away. Meat is left in it's paper
to absorb the taste and get glued fast
to it. Fruit is bruised in emptying it
out, butter left uncovered to grow ran
cid, and milk standing to sour.
When green vegetables come they
should be put at once in the cellar or
into the icebox. Salads may be wrapped
in a damp cloth, then in newspaper,
and put in the air.
Cereals should be emptied in their
proper receptacles of tin or glass and
closely covered to prevent insects get

Mr.. CareWe produced a bank bill
about which the boy behald a halo.
Clearly this was his day; heaven show
ed its approval of his conduct bv an
outpourng of imperishable riches. And
yet the oath misliked him; there was a
saver of the Economical contract. Still
that was to be borne and the plunge
taken, for there fiuttered the huge sum
before his dazzled eyes. He took a deep

He ran off, pale with the fear that
he might grow up, take to drink and
some day tell in his cups, but so re-
solved not to coquet with temptation
that he went round a block to avoid the
door of the Rouen House bar. Never
theless, the note was in his hand and
the fortune in his pocket.
And Mr. Carewe was safe. He knew
that the boy would never tell, and he
knew another thing, for he nad read
the journal, though it came no more to
his house; he knew that Tom Vanrevel
wore his uniform that evening and
that, even in the dusk, the brass but
tons on an officers breast make a good
mark for gun steaded along the ledge
of a window. AS he entered the gates
and went toward the house he glanced
up at the window which overlooked his
garden from the cupola.

r SYNOPSIS.-By singular chain OF cir
cumstances Miss Betty C2rewe has
come to confuse Tom Nanrevel and
Crailey Gray, believing each TO be the
other. Miss Betty is the reignng belle
of Rouen, Ind, in the days just pre-
ceding the Mexican War. Tom Van
revel is a young lawyer of Rouen, and
her fathers mortal foe. The two men
have quarreled over politics and also
on a personal matter, and old CareWe
has threatened to shoot Tom should he
ever find him on Carewe's property
Tom has fallen desperately in love with
Miss Betty at first sight. Crailey Gray.
lazy, generous, popular, talented good
for-nothing and poet. is Toms law
partner and is engaged to Miss Bare
aud, but he too, as well as Tom, has
fallen under the spell of Miss Bettys
beauty.
Crailey is the first to discover Miss
Betty's mistake. Instead of undeCeiv-
ing her, he takes adroit advantage of
the situation TO make love to her in
the person of his friend. Old Carewe'S
bitter denunciatiOns of NanreVel natur-
ally serve only further to raise in Misc
Betty's estimation the gentleman whom
she supposes to be the subject of them.
Carewe leaves Rouen on business, and
Mrs. Tanberry, an old friend of the
family. comes to stay with Miss Betty.
For Vanrevel all this while, Miss
Betty has only contempt. When he
makes love to her at a ball she public
~ and witheringly rebukes him for
what seems to her his inhdelity to his
fiancee, Miss Bareaud.
At length Vanrevel discovers his
friends perfdy, by opening a letter ad-
dressed to him. but meant, as he at last
puzzles out, for Crailey and written by
Miss Betty. He leaves the letter with
Crailey and goes off into the country to
subdue his personal grief in the task
OF recruiting a company for the war
which is about to be declared. on his
return Crailey confesses all to him, but
Tom refuses to interfere to enlighten
Miss Betty. War is declared, and all
the young men of Rouen, Crailey in
cluded, prepare to follow Tom to the
front. on the afternoon before the
company leaves Miss Betty, walking
in the garden, is surprised by a ragged
urehin with a note. The note is from
Crailey Gray, asking for a chance to
see her once again and say goodbye.
